Diana….Diana….

Diana…Diana… my Lovely Dove Eyed Diana!

on your 46th Birthday, where your Sons celebrate it online & offline

Here's my simple blog, to remind it to my Brain

Sir.John Elton couldn't capture your song well

[Lyrics of "Candle in the Wind" http://www.eltonography.com/songs/candle_in_the_wind.html]

Our Tamil Film Poets did better

John Elton definitely couldn't write well on you

For he is not a Straight - a Gay & married to another Man

– How can he realise the Greatness of a Woman?

Greatness of a Woman can only be understood by Men who are Womanisers

or Well, Pardon me, if I say it politically correct : Skirt Chasers

You are not a simple English Rose,

You are a universal flower, a Ms. Diana not a Miss or Mrs

You were the reason behind the term "Paparazzi"

You were once touted as the World's most photographed women

You made the world realise that a Princess's Bed is not full of Roses

You fought for personal Freedom which forms base for any human

You are against the Imperial vestiges, but fell into another, that is of Fashion

Your love for Al Dodi, the Muslim Tycoon

Your flirts with the horseman Sqn Ldr were projected in the media hugely

Than that of your male companion, Mr. Charles's [forgive me, your Highness]

How would it be, if you married to Dodi?

May be it ended like the Imran Khan – Jemima affair?

May be it ended like the Shrek? [sorry, here I don't mean Dodi as poor]

But, our Mahatma Gandhi would have welcomed it as a Christian-Muslim unity

And the War of Civilisations may be postponed

And the Bush's "Crusade" may be avoided

And the Taj Mahal, India might have posed with You & Dodi

Brighter than your previous photo

Any crown has got thorns… & the Royal Crown has got Royal Thorns…

You couldn't wear it silently…

As it's worn by some Victoria's or some Elizabeth's

That made the difference, and it is not OK for your controllers

I salute for your struggle for Personal Freedom Diana,

Rather than any other thing Like your outer beauty etc..

Because, they are wombs to many revolutions

Many histories…

I admire your courage for Divorce in a country where Royal Divorce is a shame

Whereas Plebeian Divorce is Order of the Day

I admire your decision to marry Dodi

I love your audacious fashion freaks as a celebrity

Anyhow, the Royals punished you silently as they did for many long years…

There you attained your Martyrdom Ms.Diana, it's the peak in your Life

One who stood for their Principles die tragically

Our Mahatma Gandhi, J.F. Kennedy, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi…

It's sad that all have a D for Death written in them

So, again I say unto you my Dear Ms.Diana

You died for a cause:

The cause of Female Freedom

The cause of Female Sensuality

The cause of Silent Royal Women

The cause of Royal Boredom & Plebeian Freedom

Other than this I couldn't see anything Great in you as an Indian [misinformed, may be]

Because, whatever Charities you stood for,

Many did/doing more than you without much ado [e.g Teresa, Bill & Melinda Gates]

So the fight for your personal space in a Royal Prison

Is the only one that will be worth remembering of you

Is the only one that will go down in History

For which you paid the prize of your Life, the Supreme Sacrifice

Beneath a Concrete Bridge,

Beneath a mangled Steel Horse

Beneath some mysterious circumstances

Opposite a couple of flash bulbs & lenses... as greedy as ever to make some fast bucks

Virtual Roses to you Diana, in this Cyber Space!

Hope your sons will carry the Torch you died protecting

At least, when you turn 50 in your Grave,

I expect some Brilliant Poem on you, my Lovely Dove Eyed Diana!

Till then, Bye Di, Bye Di! [Say this "Di" in Tamil]

For: Sir. Elton John, [what a waste this title is!] Bye Da, Bye Da!....
