Whenever a B'day party becomes due, scheduling it becomes a task,
You have to be careful of the Naaraz Foofas, lest someone you forgot to ask.
To ensure that everyone's voice is heard, we typically run a poll,
- That most people join and increase the bill - is our mutual unsaid goal.
Ram has a fast on Saturdays, Shyam on weekday works till late night,
So the Friday evening doesn't work out, nor any weekday festivity seems right.
Sunday brunch is ruled out, it's more drinks than food we covet,
Sunday evenings are challenging, Mohan has a recurring family date.
The above are general factors, there are seasonal reasons too,
That Navratra and pitrupaksh are dry days- who fathomed, who knew.
Some like me are always available, we click all options in the poll,
Till the time the party is finalized, our gustatory health takes a toll.
In the end we always converge, although someone or other we miss,
On the rare occasion when all can make it, the party is pure bliss.
