First, let me apologize for being so callous about my next post. It's true that I was hectic, occupied and pre-occupied, but due diligence should have been given to the blog in spite of all these lame excuses. For me, the thought of a post bubbles-up only when I find time for own-self. The only time I had for myself in this past month turned to be the time I drive from home to office and back. In spite of the shimmering heat of Chennai aggravated by the annoying traffic, I was able to conceptualize a flurry of posts and their skeleton. However, when I plunged into the work, everything evaporated, only to be left with the guilt of not having materialized those bubbles into a beautiful post.
Many thanks to Priya, Dawn, Vishesh and Mystic for their concern. Inspired by them, I share a poem that I wrote last week, for a team of 200 that my wife was heading for her company's family day. As a part of the Maui Hikers team's publicity campaign, my wife asked a poem on Red, the colour of the team. The poem was required to have attributes of Power and Action and I got the crux from the good old "Gimme Red" Eveready Advertisement. This poem got crystallized while I was driving from home to office. I concluded that, it's worth sharing the poem, when I heard that many people liked it -:)
Gimme Red
Gimme Red
The sunset dusk
In crimson Red
Gimme Red
Gimme Red
The human blood
In scarlet Red
Live-in Red
Live-in Red
The caution saves
In Striking Red
Live-in Red
Live-in Red
Passion and Love
At heart is Red
Being Red
Being Red
Tulips and Roses
Beauty in Red
Being Red
Being Red
Strength and Courage
In flaming Red
Love you Red
Love you Red
Maui Hikers
House is Red

A nice red indeed and who never likes that color. Its dashing, hot, romantic and sexual.. Ok ok lemme stop here.
You have put it so well describing the beauty of red the way we see it. Cute post and thanks for sharing here buddy.
Red is a wonderful colour. Standing for power action et al ! You have captured the many elements of Red well.
All-encompassing Red !!
