A Poem
The other day I have seen the musical EK show
It was like a spectacular lightning glow
It was envisioned by Usha Akella just more than an year ago
Touched everybody’ heart and crushed their ego
Earlier we just knew her as a poet and her literary talent
Now her extra ordinary qualities of a devotee have come out blatant
She worked day and night and night and day having sleepless nights
In the end she made people’s lives happy and filled their hearts with loving lights
She is a poet, manager, lyric writer and what not
She is just a visionary and all people love her a lot
As someone said behind every successful man there is a woman
Here behind her is the star of the solar system, another successful man
EK is the wonderful musical drama of Shiridi Sai Baba
Those who think HE is a muslim worships Allah in the Kaba
And those who consider HIM as Hindu pray Krishna and Radha
EK clearly depicts unity in diversity
Which we cannot understand going to any university
The choreography is done in such a detailed manner
To show it’s greatness we do not need any banner
The music composed by Suchitra, is such a great talented lady
EK reminded me of the musicals like Sound of Music and My fair lady
My inner voice tells me that EK will be played in many places to people’s content
Crossing the borders of countries and continents
It is not Grinding, Grinding, Grinding
But it is Binding, Binding, Binding
With our beloved Baba
Deserting all the worldly Maya
All the actors did not act really
But lived in their roles literally
Dev acted as if he is possessed by Baba
It appeared, Baba is Dev and Dev is Baba
The logo designer has created the omnipresent infinity
By a few strokes of lines without any difficulty
EK is one Religion, one Cast, one Creed
Essence of all the Holy books you read
On the whole EK is a real Masterpiece
Bestowing everyone the most sought out Peace
Sure Usha could not have done this all by herself
Many people Cast, Musicians, Choreographers,
Directors, Stage Mangers, Donors and all others
Worked and helped her above their self
I congratulate and salute Usha & her Family
And the whole EK Family
May Baba give all the Team His Grace
Which spreads in our hearts like flower’s Fragrance
Regards to the entire EK Team

An addendum:
Musical Ek has not only achieved Fame
But now it has become a Household Name.
All those distressed with mental and physical Ache
Will surely get solace from the Musical Ek.
