A Suitable Bird
Having just finished Mira Nair&
#39;s wonderful adaptation of Vikram Seth&
#39;s A Suitable Boy, I feel its time to go public on the great love affair between Vikram & my much missed cockatoo, Albinia. Here is a love poem written by Vikram, on missing a dinner due to flu:
sick & sorry rhymes
dear willie,
i&
#39;m a sicky and illy,
moaning weakly in bed
with a sore head.
dearest olivia
what excuse can i givia
for remaining in noida?
(i&
#39;m not trying to avoidya.)
beloved albinia,
wdvluvd2hv seen ya
but there&
#39;s less than perfect bliss
in a viral kiss.
O cacatua galerita,
Could anything have possibly have been sweeta
Than to lip your beak and muss your sulphurous crest
And swoon at last against your downy breast?
