(99) HICCUPsssss...







Hiccup, and a hiccup
And non-stop hiccups
I ignored them first
Then thought,
Let me enjoy..
Let me dare think,
Who could it be..?
Hiccup..


Names and faces to check
Or think of someone unique
But before, I could confirm
My maid’s strong voice shot from the dining space,
Gushed in my room and hit my ears.
‘What’s the matter? Why so many hiccups?
And a loud Hiccup…


She came closer,
And asked teasingly,
Didi, who could it be?
I said,
I am wondering about the same.
And surfaced the Hiccup..


While I am writing this,
My hiccups,
Are returning at the same tempo.
Hiccup..


They say,
If you divert your mind to something else,
Hiccups disappear.
I tried it,
I tried that,
Nothing worked.
And the uhh uhh of my hiccups,
Is reverberating like a jingle,
A beautiful melodious tune,
Which says,
Forget about the scientific logics,
And for now,
Have faith in the strongly held old superstition,
About hiccups,
That someone is missing you,
And be happy,
That you are fondly remembered….

Hiccup,
Hiccup,
Hiccup…am enjoying these hiccups..
