Dear Madhav, 
Happy birthday, and nice to see how not only time but also your poetic flow is unstoppable... and nice to see a change of metre. 
The "sing-song" melody normally superimposed and superimposable on any sloka is well known. 
Does anyone know how a verse in the Aaryaa meter is traditionally sung or chanted? Any sample accessible online? 
Best regards,   
Jan Houben

In the unstoppable course of time, the age goes on increasing without any effort. However, the joy in my mind increased with the wishes from my friends.
