Princess Mira

On a Sabbatical last year, Went to a fort where a Princess grew up
As an impressionable child of 8, she was gifted a statue of Krishna
Needless to say she grew up to live a Blessed life offered to a few
A Queen at 18, Widow 3 years later, she lived enamored to an Idol

btw, She was born in 1498. Here's a series of video clips of the Trip
We drove in a newly christened Bullet, as cousin had sold the Mare
It'd rained & I asked for Permission to visit her Rooms: Granted
Apparently, she'd planted a Tulsi that still Lives. That's a Surprise

So, I enter the fort and make some friends
A little boy Govind, a Dobermann and Geese
The tiny fort of Kudki takes a few minutes
It's the environment here that's enchanting

Finally, reached the Top to see the Countryside
A few ponds and a Retirement Project's Dream
To enable an underground river to flow again
That I'd splashed in as a kid, and now it's Dry

Lakes remind me of the CEO of our rival Company
Mr. Jim Johnson who retires after 27 yrs in Intel
Puts in 3yrs to build Two Ponds in his backyard
Then Goliath hires him to guide them to Winnings

Yes, the ponds are Good work to make one Happy
But, Mr. Johnson - How about a few kilometres of a
Dried Riverbed to flow again, between some Lakes
that are refreshed by Monsoon Rains in a Desert?

Anyways, on Mira, Radha and Krishna
Much has been said and sung for them
Embedded so deep in an Indian Psyche
That a Simple life with a working Wife?
Some Women love to Complicate Life...

NASA finds a Bizarre Star, names her Mira
One breeds Persian Cats, names her Mira
If I have a daughter, we'll name her Mira?
Lastly, Thanks Aseem to split this video...
