--> This is one of my favorite poems about a battle which, I will never stop fighting. Every night, I practice in front of the mirror, Ways in which, I can voice what is in my heart. Every next morning, I prepare for my battle, With my heart filled with joy and terror. My battle, to express my feelings to you, My beloved, But the moment, you come in front of me, I begin to stammer. My eyes are riveted on your beautiful face, And how can one not admire your charming eyes, I collect all my courage to tell you, "You mean the world to me”!! But again I lose my battle, Raising feelings both sweet and bitter, Bitter, because I lost my one more chance to express myself Sweet, because I lost to a beautiful and charming girl like you Still, I am not disheartened, I will continue to fight this battle, Until I succeed. I don't mind losing to you But not every time, Please!!! let me win just once, My sweetheart!!! Then, if you say, I will loose everything Everything, BUT ...

This poem is dedicated to my mentor Ranjan Sir You are a sea of encouragement, I am just a small boat, The waves of your support, Always keeps me afloat, Your faith is like a mast, That sails me through all odds. To you, so much I owe, I will never be able to repay, I bow my head and kneel, To express the way I feel. My eyes are often bedewed, In tears of thankful gratitude, Thank you, Sir, For all that you have given me.
