An Ode to my Towel

'Tis with my towel that I go to bed,
Nothing cosier there can be
As warm and fuzzy as my blue towel,
Nothing more comforting to me.

I hug it close, I hold it tight
Tighter than ever before
My dear towel my companion is
And will be forever more.

It has stood me through rain and shine
(Now you'd say that 'bout yours too!)
But my towel is more than just my towel
Being my constant bedfellow too.

It is strange that my towel,
Cursed to be forever blue
Makes me feel anything but that
O Was there a friend so true!

But tonight is a night of parting
And alone in my bed I shall weep
'Cos my towel hangs out in the verandah
From 'morrow on, my company better to keep.

I will miss you, my sweet, tonight
But at the crack of dawn will be there
When the night's rest has given way to longing
And sorrow to despair.

Something written long back, when I was missing the pillow a lot. Ridiculous..but that's how much I missed the pillow then.

The wing blog is great!! seminal is'nt it? that the wing should be one of the most missed thing uniformly across all IITs, branches, batches and hostels.
just a doubt though, who are you?

Haha... Awesome post! Very nicely written.

Stumbled upon your blog. You write really really well. Very good command over language and style.

At the risk of sounding chauvinistic,I didn't expect it to be a female's blog. (Okay, okay... don't throw stones...)

Copy Lavanya. Who are you and that too from Sharav?
