If I Could Tell You

ONE OF MY FAVORITE POEMS:

If I could tell you.............

Time will say nothing but I told you so,

Time only knows the price we have to pay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,

If we should stumble when musicians play,

Time will say nothing but I told so.

There are no fortunes to be told, although,

Because I love you more than I can say,

If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,

There must be reasons why the leaves decay;

Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,

The vision seriously intends to stay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,

And all the brooks and soldiers run away;

Will time say nothing but I told you so?

If I could tell you I would let you know.

W.H Auden (1907-73)

Thank you for all your wishes, first of all. Can't believe, solid 30's is here!.
The fun part about my birthday is that according to Hindu tradition of starting of the day, I was born on Poila baishakh, Bengali new year but in english its 15-April. Confused, well I was born at 3.55am, according to hinduism, a new day starts at 5 am, but its already the next day according to general rule of thumb. Hence I get wished both days, usually family wishes me on Bengali new year, the 14 Apr.So the bottomline is that a birthday a year is fun, I have two and its double the fun.
But I am told I don't look I am in my thirties. Is that good or bad, I don't know,perhaps good better than bad....... If you ask me what the secret is, its just " Good Genes" and a really Good pair of skinny, bottom hugging Jeans!
