Verse by Dhruv Sehgal
I am bad at maths
But I know 1+1 makes 2
And 2+1 is 3
There isn’t much difference between the two
It is a matter of just one
But this one is more than two and much more than three
And that is where all the problem lies.
I like one cup in the morning,
Another one in the evening.
Even a drop more can brew a storm in my mind
My fingers slip away from my hands
My eyes start seeing the ghosts.
And my mind…my mind…oh my mind…
Two is good. Two feels good.
Choco-mint is made of — chocolate and mint
Agio o lio is just — garlic and olive oil
And at my home I have always have —
A light roast and a medium-dark roast.
And as much as tempting that one more cup is
It is through me being bad at maths
That I have realised the fragilities of my mind.
A cup in the morning
And another in the evening
And my days are just fine.
