Come now, come. Just sit and write –
Enough vacations taken.
You are tired just in name –
Enough vacations taken.
If you can’t for someone else,
Just do it for your only self.
Come now, come sit and write –
Enough vacations taken.
What of it? Is your chakra done?
You have a beast inside of you.
So, channel all that Kyuubi rage –
Enough vacations taken.
To write whatever comes to mind
Is better than to never write.
Come, live up to this Misra name –
Enough vacations taken.
Translated from my Hindi poem, बहुत छुट्टी मार ली
bahut CHuTTī mārlī
chalo likhne baiTHo bahut CHuTTī mārlī
bas nām ke thake ho bahut CHuTTī mārlī
kisī aur ke padhne ke liye na sahī
apne liye likhdo bahut CHuTTī mārlī
tumhārā chakrā khatam hei to kyā huā
kyūbī kā nikālo bahut CHuTTī mārlī
kuCH na likhne se kuCH bhī likhnā behtar hei
Misra ka nām rakhlo bahut CHuTTī mārlī
Minakhi Misra
