The bubbles may burst!




Life is full of surprise bubbles 
Sometimes, accompanying them are a few troubles.

For instance, what I wished for is this-

when I turned 16, I wanted a bash,
and to walk down a ramp with the "Miss India" sash!

What really happened is this-

The cute guy from class, rang the doorbell at midnight,
With flowers and cake and a card in sight!

What followed was something like this -

Standing in the doorway, I dint know whether to be happy or to be sad,
The only thing I could see clearly, was my angry dad!

The story ended like this -

I said goodbye to my Birthday bash dreams,
All I was allowed the following evening, were just a few ice creams!

It's true-
Life is full of surprise bubbles..
Sometimes, accompanying them are a few troubles!

    Have to love the way this develops! And I like the way the end repeats the beginning — only by then we understand so much more.
