Anthology of Poems

Tina (1964-2008), was a born rebel. Since childhood she never bound herself to any routine. Notwithstanding this, she was a lovely and brilliant child who cared for the world in her own special way. She had a mind of her own and developed her personality as per her own convictions. She was a vibrant and vivacious person blessed with eyes full of life and a smile replete with mischief. While her jokes sent people into splits, she sat poker faced enjoying the fact that she had made others laugh. Her happiness was so obvious and yet so illusive that we never realised her loneliness and associated pain. She was a girl who sold her joys to buy others' grief. She was qualitatively different in style and professionally qualified as a fashion designer in the early eighties, her designs were in great demand in the foreign markets and she herself was the model for her own creations. Tina had hopes, dreams and the calibre to provide wings to her desire to scale the soaring heights she had set for herself. But God willed otherwise and recalled her to His abode, probably to assign her to another role befitting her magnificence.
