Dear Amritha!
I am so glad you found me in the cyber world! I could not reply to your mail, since it is some crazy no-reply format! So here I make a post. I do hope you drop in here and write to me at aniruddh.vasudevan@gmail.com.
Much love,
Ani

Under crumpled sheets, he said,
“You are complete. A complete person.”
Not the kind of thing I have heard
Under crumpled sheets,
Incompletely dressed.
He thinks, therefore I am,
I guess.
I should thank him next time,
Under crumpled sheets, preferably,
For thus completing me.

It was a usual tea break
Where questions were cues
To keep moving.
In the fleeting pairing game,
I managed to avoid her,
Hiding behind the elephant between us,
That was dark and huge and refused to budge.
When hot tea splashed over my chest,
I cried out loud,
Not yet trained in not crying
Over spilled milk or tea.

"Do we matter," I asked
Looking up at the drowsy moon
And listening to the waves.
Your typical romantic cliche, you know.
"Do we matter," I asked him again,
"The plan looks massive, what with seas
and moons and all. Are we cared for in here?"
He took me seriously.
"Yes, the scale of all this is huge,
Big budget," he smiled,
"But details aren't spared you know.
In this humungous project, I care for you
And you for me.
The moon cares, I am sure,
Because it hasn't stopped visiting."
