Sanskirit -- Language Of The Gods.

The rhythm in the chant
 the fervour in the  chat
 the faith in the chant
 the meaning in the chant
 made it beautiful
 still rings in the ears
 that is the charm of Sanskrit

 th language of the Goda.

Wrinkles

Wrinkles of age
make you look a sage
 wear the badge.

The badge  wrinkle
shows all  experience in a twinkle
the lines  tinkle.

Accept with grace
 as they lend a place
high in chase.

Defecating In The Public.

Defecating in the public
horrible and terrific
 poisonous and harmful
 nothing very wonderful.

The allegation against Indians
they defecate in the entrance
 the open and beneath the trees
  without any inhibition but only glee.

It is a disqualification
 causes a disturbing distraction
 smells and rots in the open
 spreads disease  in rampant.

The population being so dense t\
he ratio per square meter is intense
Why did the Indians practice so?
 strange as ever in the go.

Vedas and scriptures
define every action
 could there be a reason
 for this karma  of all seasons?

The Partition

Partition is a division
 be it in a family or a nation
 done without any reason
 turns into a treason.

There is no justified partition
one takes the  share bigger beyond reason
the other is  deprived grossly
 be it in currency or property  crossly.

There rise many mishaps and pain
 as the unreasonable earn gain
 the one who has lost suffers in silence
 could be a sensational grievance.

has been the way from long ago
 could we  find a logo
 that be appropriate to fix
 could that evaluate the trick?

The tick is so subtle and treacherous 
it is almost  deceitful and infectious
  none is going to hold  in the finality
 as all would one day go in a fold. eventually.

The Fold And Hold

The fold and hold
 goes together in a bold
 the currency might it be
 folded into three
fold it would seem
 put inside to avoid a gleam
these and few others
go with a fold and hold
 a press and  a compress
 a hide for the future
a hoard in a feature.

To Cross Swords.

He looks daggers at me
 especially towards me
 his eyes are so pointed
they cause a disjoint
 yet I reciprocate  invariably
the  same enmity
 I used to fear his looks once
 cruelty was in his eyes very dense
 now I have come out of it
 as I have become very definite
 to cross swords with him
 then and there in a swim

Calling Me A Mother.

Calling me a mother
 love to be so rather
 mother, I had been
 even in my younger days
 as been the custom
 in my part of the world
 the staff calling
the daughters  of the master
mother with a respect
 so the call mother
 has been heard by me
 not after my son was born
 much earlier to it in a dawn
I cherish the word mother
it holds plenty of love and respect.

Turn back

Turn back in a way
see the past days
 with pride or shame
 look through the same
 be they prosperity or adversity
 they are there in  a veracity
 learn through the events
 could make a difference
go ahead with a caution
 as past and present are a fusion.

A Very Swift Flow

It is a flow

 the hours to days 

 the days to months 

 months to years 

a very swift flow.

Days come and go 

 so do the years 

men come and go 

so do the forces 

 a very swift flow.

The quakes come and go 

 so do the storm

 the drought comes and goes 

 so do the  mishaps

a very swift flow. 

It s a flow 

 up and down

back and front 

high and low 

 a very swift flow.

A Break

A break, I thought
 could rake in a sort
 the views all the more
 not so anymore
as I find nil views
that could be a clue
 nothing materialistic would take place
 to me in any phase.

The Father's Day.

The father's day
 the world celeberates
all over in gay
I hear shouts too lud
 Happy Father's day.

Fathers and mothers
are to be remembered
not for a day rather
 all through in enamour.

yet a few like me
 could talk of an opposite
 not to talk of them in glee
 as my thoughts receede.

My parents  were different
 loving and showering affection
 to one  and to me diffident
that be my distraction.

it is a never mind to me
 as I came out with a heavy heart
 now live  happily without a flee
 that way I reconcile my broken heart.

To Change Or Not.

A great way to face a change
 go against as it is strange
 or accept it in a  range.

To defy  is a long  drawn  process
 to overthrow it is a guess
 yet if you wish do it no less.

To accede to it is  facile
 to go with a trend in style
could be wisdom all the while.

The Tea Party At Boston

A Tea Party
one like the Boston Party
could create wonders.

Wonders in all
 could be a revolution significant
fight for independence.

Never is Tea Party
a slight affair as all
could incite indignation.

Tea Parties all
 have a very genuine call
go with it.

Intangible Reality

the thoughts go beyond
 away to levels high
unattainable in reality.

the feelings go over
 engulf in a cover
unattainable in reality.

the measurements go against
encompass  not into an appropriateness
unattainable in reality.

the  proportions go  far
involve not a  regular  theme
 unattainable in reality.

most of the endeavours
indulge in an elongation
unattainable in reality.

the life goes in a rotation
 round and round in  circles
 an

 intangible  reality.

Win Or Lose.

I thought I would win

 Lo! I did not.

I tried hard 

 I did not win.

I lost, I did not think 

 Lo! I lost.

it is in the game 

 I did lose.

You lose  once 

 to win many more

 I lose always 

 and had win none.

Failure is the stepping stone 

 a stone to success 

 I have failed many a time 

 not achieved success.

That could be a lesson 

 all who try do noot win 

 only a few fortunate ones 

do win and see success.

Life has to go 

 win or lose  in the strife 

 get going  with a spirit 

you would reach the end.

A Lively Discourse

It is a lively discourse
 taught not in the course
experience teaches us
 nothing in  a less
encompasses a learning
 not  from any yearning
it is the life that exhibits
 all the passion in titbits
 take whatever you want
 leave whatever you do not want
go ahead in a straight line
 you would reach there in fine.

Easy And Difficult

That which seems easy
 turns a marathon
 have to spend hours
 if not days
 could or could not complete
 owe it to the attitude
 a feel that it is easy.


That which seems difficult
 becomes  damn easy
a few minutes of dedication
 if not seconds
 could

very well complete
 owe it to the attitude
 a feel that is difficult.

The Concubines

Concubines are women
 who are thrown into lust
by a force.

Force could be
from within or from without
 subjected to atrocity.

Atrocity so harsh
a tear and a stripping
a violence unprecedented.

Violence of flesh
committed for an animal pleasure
strangulating and suffocating.

The Ailments.

Had a cough
 rocked me for a time
settled  in course.

Had a wheeze
 fought with for a time
subdued in all

Had a fever
 rose up to a delirium
subsided in  all.

Had an ache
 penetrated through the muscles
disappeared in all.

Had all these
 for days together in all
living with them.

A Struggle

F

eeling tight and heavy
 the lightness not in the vicinity
 sit there for a while
 then rise up to walk
 an exhaustion is there
 I lie down to relax
 could feel no better
 so I sit, stand and lie
 a struggle I face
 .

Smelly to Smiley

Odour to fragrance
 a journey of a dispassion
 one of reference.

Odour to fragrance
 a travel into the inorganic
not of relevance

Odour to fragrance
a voyage into the artificial
boycotting the original.

A Twenty -one -Year Old

A twenty-one-year shoots
 not one but nine succumb
 fills the gun not once but twice
 not  in a lane but in a church
 not at once but after an hour
 reads none other than the Bible
 a racial hatred most visible
 a colour discrimination  presumably
 they die one after another
 all nine in

a go
 what to say now?
 tell me the twenty - one- ear  old

Mumbai

Rains halt Mumbai
a city that never stops
 relax tired Mumbai

Karma And Dharma

The shadows and reflections
 are nothing but refractions
 shows one in an inverted position
 an upside down picture
 great  to know  in a way.

The erect image is familiar
 the topple down is unfamiliar
 erect and straight could be easy
 a turn down  would prove dizzy
 great to know in a way.

Everywhere the real is a portend
 the  virtual is an extend
 a realization  of truth is nirvana
 a refusal to reconcile with it is adharma
great to know in a way.

The oriental scriptures rely on  dharma
your performance displays your karma
a diversion would be  perilous
lead to a  position sacrilegious
great to know in a way.

Delay

Delay for what?
know not  the real reason
delaying  is bought .

Buying time  creates
a lethargy at the apparent
but it deviates.

It is ignorance
 could be a foolish act
not with relevance.

Fools are irrelevant
 at times they become huge
 maddening in  a stooge.

Well, they rule
with a power so great
an open fray.

Philanthropists.

A sense of fulfillment
 comes to me
when I do anything
not out of compulsion.

A sense of joy
comes to me
when I offer a small help
 to the needy.


A sense of peace
 prevails  over me
 when I see a child,s smile
 exhibiting all innocence.


A sense of exhilaration
descends on me
 when I see the rain and the sun
 the philanthropists in great stature.

Election And A Win

It is an election
 five years once
 the winner rises high
 not in power alone
 but all in  wealth too
 five years is enough
 to earn and survive
  not to survive  alone
  to wallow  also

 lie in the lap of luxury
 with cars and sprawling homes
deigned in rich and splendour
 all too  much for the rest of life.

A Jeopardy.

It is a dilemma
 to be or not to be
in an Hameletian way.

To do or not to do
 proves too much
 a weird stigma.


To live or not to live
sits heavy on the heart
 a disoriented strive.


To proceed or not to
 keeps the fingers crossed
 an exhaustive interlude.

A focus or not to be keen
makes one live in a  confuse
a jeopardy in the midst.

Inimitable Joy,

Itis a strain
 to sit and watch
 it would be fun
 to participate
 It would be a drain
 to be inactive
 it would be joyful
 to work and earn
 being  a meek spectator
 not helps a person
 being involved in the stream
renders inimitable joy.

Bard

Write  a few words
 make them known to the world
you turn

 a bard

Anger

It was anger
an outburst rare  in case
not seen almost.

Additions Mentally

Doing additions mentally
 not even counting the fingers
 was my practice  long back
 now need a calculator
to go for simple additions
say 2+ 2 in  a way
 very much pitiable it is.

I Am Bored.

It turns a bore
 want to roar
 wish to pour
 like to score
 think to implore
 happens to deplore
 hear tales of lore
from  the ore
 lie near the shore
 in a frenzy tore
 in a patience bore
 well, that is more
 so walk towards the door
 want to sleep and snore
 it could be after and before

A Desperate Feel.

A call from a distant land
 an unknown voice
 from a far away place
 could not make out
 who it was.

The voice seemed to be familiar
 yet I could not make out
 did not reply for a while
 as i fear to talk to strangers.

Te voice kept on talking
 asked me question after question
 wanted to know one pertinent thing
 when would I be back home?

Offended I said  in a voice harsh
 could be now or never
 what is your botheration?
 I was provoked.


Every time one or the other
 ask queries irrelevant
 I seethe with anger
know not why they want to know.

I straightaway walk out from all these people
 relish, not their company anytime
 they seem to be worried about my status
do not know for what.

Beauty In Style.

Beauty is found not in the face alone
 thin lips and sharp nose
 sparkling eyes and a fair complexion
 go to make a beauty in style.

Not all these alone matters
it be the shape and the figure
 the way one carries  with elegance
go to make a beauty in style.

The arms and hands
 the thighs and the legs
the hip and the waist
go to make a beauty in style.

The chest and the shoulders
 the hair and its shine
 the mannerisms in the  run
go to make a beauty in style.

It is not the artificial
 but the insight and keenness
 the loveliness depends on the smile
go to make the beauty in style.


It is the way one behaves
 it is the ebullience and eloquence
that create an amazement
 a liveliness that causes an admiration.

The

 beauty is not in looks alone
 counts the poise and grace
 along with a natural intelligence
go to make the beauty in style.

A Vicious Cycle

It is a cycle
could be vicious too
the one that happened
a few years ago
not a few years from now
perhaps decades before
repeats itself with a bang
 hits the head straight
destroys and dismantles
 deviates and collapses
 what could be said of it?
a family wealthy today
 gained prosperity by undue means
the way the treasures came
 could not be defined as the best
could  be termed as the most destructive
wealth ill-gotten could be a curse
befalls unknowingly on the family
 the wealth goes the wa=y it came
 though not to the deprived

anyway.

The Facials.

The facials they say
 keeps you gleam and shine
all through the day
make you revel in cloud nine.

The moisturiser they say
 make you look fresh
all through the day
could also make you blush.

The lipstick they say
 turns you attractive
all through the day
 could turn you defective.


The eyebrows and the eyelids
 are not left as they are
 they go through a change instead
take you far from where you are.

Well, then what is yours
 as each feature goes through a revolution
all would wither away in  the course
you would find an evolution.

No Time To Stand And Stare.

No time to stand stare
 why not all of you
sit and stare
 what are you going to do?
 always running here and there
 a lot of time should there be
 to stare and while away
 to write and read through
 to sleep and pass in silence
well, all this could be yours
 if only you take time
 to sit for a while
 and stare in style.

A Second Fiddle.

Playing a second fiddle
saying yes and yes all through
 he remained a riddle

He likes to say yes
 not want to enter any controversy
 he is made thus.

It is his approach
 talks not at the appropriate time
 then he reproaches.

Many more things could be said
 He would never turn
 well,

that is his best.

Grilled Boat

Still she stood

 lovely and good 

 wanted to build 

 a small

 boat grilled 

 tried to make 

 could not do in the first take 

 tried again and again

 her confidence regained 

 she did make a grilled boat 

wonderful in a float.

The Little Puppy

It is a dog over there
 feels the pain in a way
 she is in her labour
cries and shrieks
 all in a while
 gives birth to five little ones
 sweet and cute
 they lie down the lane
 for a day  and a half
 while the mother waits over
one of the puppies
 all too smart
 tries to cross the road
 a speeding motor car

 runs over it
all in a second
 the little puppy  is dead

Drenched Me

Rains came through
 sneaked through the windows  forcefully
 drenched me incidentally.

Ants Abound

The ants queue in a row
 enter my pantry in slow
 creep into all the groceries
 cling to them unnecessarily
creating a mayhem everywhere
 however much I care
 I am not able to get rid
 do not know how to bid
 staying in a tropical country
could not  put forth a better plea
as they abound and grow in millions
 they multiply in geometrical progressions
 i stand aghast looking at my  pantry
 alas! it bleeds in a grievous

 spree.

Not A Hero.

Granted he cried
 as if he had set it
could be he so liberal
 I have my own doubts
he is a known miser
 he could never be nicer
 yet he proclaims with a noise
 and tells others with a choice
 to listen to him or not
he is a great philanthropist
 I believe it not to the zero
 as he is  not a hero.

Owning Leasehold ---Oxymoron.

It is highly prodigious
investing in land and stocks
 a land freehold is in all likely

could be an asset  valuable
 that of leaseholds a degree less
 a longer period is advisable
 a shorter one not recommended
 anyhow  an investment
 should be done with caution
 otherwise would bring in friction
 too much for anyone to bear
 ideal is to watch and wait
 for the moment most propitious
 if not found in the vicinity
 better hold the money in deposit
 could yield you a less income
 could be a sfe one in the long run.

Traffic in The Malaysian Highway

It was a trip
  to and fro
 not very far
 a two-hour journey
 yet it felt so lousy
 as we have to move inch by inch
 the traffic so heavy
 I find after much research
 it is not the number of cars
 it is the signals
 the turns, the one way
the tools and the speed

 warnings
 all too binding and dragging
 the sign boards very bold
 but not clear to the point
 make the traffic to juggle
The Malaysian Highway otherwise scrupulous
 a beautiful drive could be possible
 if at all the menace is eradicated.

An Appointment,

It is an appointment
 unable to get in time
 it is not the outward elements
 it is the inward hustle
 not getting ready on time
 if it is his way
 he would be up and alert
 if it is the other way
 he would delay
 not for the first time seen
 on all occasions it is visible
 well, that is his thought
 thinks always supreme
 feels superior i a sort.

A Rat Race.

I

t is a rat race
 coming home from it
 was  n a daze
 held on for a  minute in it
 then started to gaze
 a pretty not much performance
well, could not be informal
 had to stay put with agony
 having much to be done
 sat  inert in a stillness
 Oh! he rat race has devastated me
 I remain there without any glee 

Kali Yuga

Kingdoms fell
 Kings died
 Revolt  synchronised
 Prince kills the King
 It is a tumble
 It is a trouble.

This being read in History
seen in person
 not through Kingdoms
 through the governance
where one topples the other
 all for the greed of power
 a heinous sequence in the run.


This being seen now
 Kingdoms have been abolished
 monarchy is found no more
 so anarchy is not  to be found
 not in this regard anymore
 more so in other concepts.


Seen more explicitly in families wealthy
 who fight not for power
 but overcome one another
 for the enormous money involved
 brother sets aside a sibling
son engaged in overthrowing the father.

Could it be well illustrated in nature?
 where the survival of the fittest takes place
 the lion chases a much smaller animal
 say a goat and eats it up
 where the sea in its fury
devours the land that lies around.

it is the angst that works up
 it is the envy that destroys the harmony
well, this way it has to occur
 when Noah's ark came to  a rescue
 as expected Krishna would come in  a horse
save the world from destruction.


Kaliyuga, as Hindu Mythology defines
 is in a way approaching fast
 as the devastation both by Nature and Man
 exceeds the norms set forth and as experienced
a saviour has to come from nowhere
 perpetuate a continuation of existentialism

Uncanny He Is.

The uncanniness  I find in him
 seems to be abnormal in a way
 he knows what would happen
 might be a gift he has been bestowed with
 uses them for a purpose not destructive
 mostly does not make a propaganda of it
 he keeps it to himself when he finds any strange
 never reveals it to anyone until asked for
 the greatness is not much publicised
 it remains within a circle

of good people
 he remains modest in his outlook
 never makes a big ado over this precious charm
 that be the greatness of the man.
