how many springs has my name seen,
how many flowers has it seen bloom,
I wonder if names carry fragrances
that people I tell my name to
carry along with them,
Hi, my name is Vasanthi,
now that you know
tell me what part of spring
will you carry forward,
which part of my name will you remember?
ANURAG MATHUR
My name is a very common one today
I am told it was not the case
When I was named.
Did my name then
Remind other parents
That it was most obvious
Hence making it so common?
