all the bread and butter,
milk, bhindi and matar
would have shrieked
on seeing their names
in my extra merrytal list.
All the hellos and hayes
would be to the parents/teachers
of my daughters' class.
Ekta Kapoor would be crying
that I didn't leak any sazish
on bahus or a saas.
There would be an occasional
Hey! How are you?
on Diwali, Holi, Christmas, Eid
or on Happyyy Buddayyy to you.
Bhaiyon aur bahnon,
I regret to inform you
that my chats will be चाट to you.
