Dear Friend

No words said, No vows taken, No story created to remember.
No promises are made to stay forever.
No thoughts exchanged to be together.
All futile, all impuissant, as a prayer from an ungrateful heart.
What words and gestures could never dream of,
A reticent smile said it all.
Eyes brought me innocence, when the first time they met my friend,
Caring, sharing, its nature said my heart next time we met.
My being knew nothing beyond, the divine love when saw it dawn,
Static in dynamism my life that seemed set forth on a voyage
Melancholy of loneliness breaking it along.
I love you more than a mother, loves a new born, dear friend.
I cherish you more than a king cherishes its crown dear friend,
By my side you’ll always be I have no doubt,
Where you be you’ll remember me, you have no choice.
Happy be you, come what may, joyous be you is all that my orison pray!!

THE DIVINITY

The glow, The charm, The elegance, The poise,

The grace that You so graciously shower me with.

The smile so enchanting, enslaving every prey, who gets to see You.

Your eyes always in Prayer of, graciousness and gratefulness,

Your form is the abode of the Goddess of beauty.

Your being is the serenity of lotus in water.

No ease it is to love dear mother,

And You just do it as Your very nature.

Your words if meant, enlightenment could dawn.

Your presence if felt, a dead would live along,

The Lord shall take care of me, why should He?

Sans duty the Lord remains since,

Divinity in You I saw, when it dawn.

Queen You are of mortals and Divine

If hearts are caged, where can the wings fly?

You paint the canvas with colors and oil,

Futile efforts You take, for reasons unknown,

Painted my life with rainbow of Your smile,

The world in owe of, to where You belong.

The twinkle of Your eyes Mamma, I know no God beyond,

Bless me with Your presence, till my breadths go on………………….

Unspoken love

my heart really pains to see my class...which is a home to me in this condition...........i just pray for the things to change for the good

Home is where the heart is
And my heart resides in the third floor of Stephen court

Hours of learning, minutes of fun,
Seconds of shivers, light years they covered

Memories so dear, hover everywhere,
How? How? How could this happen to me?

Good begets good, childhood taught me young,
Old obsolete teaching, that’s the song that was sung.

The game that is, even at my house
Played, management, government commoners, participants all in vain.

Ah! My heart pains in sorrow, my cheeks wet in pain,
My hands together in prayer, Lord in surrender I remain.

Time brings distance, distance brings separation,
My being is bereft of time and distance, ignorant of the word separation.

The gross seemed forgotten, ungrateful never imagined,
The subtle lies there soaked in gratitude tears of gratefulness.

My hears weeps as much as yours, I know you don’t deny,
I know, you know, I love you the most, words need not try.

The lord with me my family resides.
I knew he would, take care, he had no choice.

Words never said, I was concerned,
Capable of explanations they are, not prayers of love.

Times testing our mettle will soon find its way out,
Perseverance, passion, commitment will never let my family down.

Prayers are powerful, said Jesus when He came.
Pure heart is pious, Krishna’s words still remain.

Krishna or Jesus said this one gospel fact…..
Faith can bring back death to life; good times will have to return.

I bow down to the commitment, unshakable as the Alps,
Alps may melt down someday, but the sun would never stop to burn.

My heart is yours, will always remain,
You are mine, I will always claim.

Times keep changing, it will still change,
But static in dynamism, our love would remain…………………..

Question and Answers

These are some of the questions that were asked to parents at a premier school in New Delhi for their child's admission.......and these are my answers to these questions





Unreasonable indulgence by parents may produce undesirable effects

A river needs a dam to keep a check on it, or it causes destruction, but at the same time an excessive check leads to cracks even on the strong walls of the dam. Children are these waters, they have their own flow, parents are these dams to check the direction of flow, but an unnecessary interference my cause rebellion.
If imagination usually develops before the intellect. How will you nurture your three year old child?

Imagination is the doorway to creativity,

at such a tender age the bird of imagination needs to sore high. I would let my child unfurl its creativity by learning through Nature, through processes, at the same time I would guide the development of intellect of my child, by teaching him/her what is right and what is wrong.

Do you know that anxious fearful parent will cause anxiety and fear in his child? How do you see it? Explain.

Parents are the role models of their children and children are very likely to develop those qualities that are possessed or exhibited by their parents. Total lack of fear may lead to destructive tendencies. Like salt in food, little fear is required for one to be righteous. Fear and anxiety is love upside down, one is anxious for something one loves and is afraid of losing it, and this awareness helps me and will help my children counter fear and anxiety.

I give quality time to my children. Explain.

Children can find their best friends in their parents, but provided their parents are available to them when they need them, when they want to share something with them, and this is when parents can teach their child the basics of life, manners cultures and values, that’s how education at home takes place. This is quality time spent together where the child gets education in a subtle manner, and at the same time love and respect for parents manifold.

How important are values to you and how do you inculcate them in your child?

Imbibing Values is the most integral part of a child’s education, values form the foundation of a child’s future, education bereft of values is fruitless, and that individual gives no contribution to the growth of society or the Nation, which is the basic duty of every human being. I as a parent ensure that spiritual, moral, ethical and social values form the flesh and blood of my child’s character, thus not limiting his education to books but including yoga, meditation, spiritual practices, spiritual books, stories of great men and service to society even if it includes small things like feeding animals. Thus ensuring my child’s all round development.

Streets I walked, paths I changed,
Destinations I crossed, milestones they became.

Paths deserted, streets universal,
All passed, none remained.

Crowded they were, alas! I was aloof,
Aloof in the game, game called life.

Truth is sorrow, truth is suffering.
Yes they are the rules of the game.

The heart is fatuous, the ticker is stupid,
As inane as it could be,

Reasons I give, feelings it demands,
Sorrow I preach, happiness it wants.

Charlatan is the world, happiness is a falsie,
Breadth is a valediction, silent as a smile.

Moving forward I reached the shore,
Tranquil I thought spurious as the rain,

Some picked fishes, some cupid for shells,
Something in common, all the timorous of the death

Death is the veracity, orison cannot delay
Fear of the truth, makes life a game.

Few used this secret, secret known by all,
Death is the epilogue; the book does not go on.

They dived the ocean, others just stared,
Some shocked and bewildered, others did not care.

Out came the hero, kissing the pearl
He kissed death alike, life had to return.

Eyes glowed in admiration,
Breadth burnt with jealousy,

Some left in frustration,
Some dived with inspiration.

I saw it all, I believe it now,
Happiness is a gift to the chivalrous.

Covetous I was, for joy to dawn
Now, I know where it belongs.

It lies within, covered with dust of pity.
I dive now, to give my heart, what it desires,

It desires love, desires respect.
Desires a death of dignity…………………………………..

A feeling

You forgot, you betrayed
We spent hours together
What makes you not remember?
I love you you know that
You loved me why not now?

I have wiped your tears
What makes you hide your smile?
I was your friend, I was your lover
I was your relation beyond relations
And you claim to not know

You choose me, I did not choose
You came to me, I did not go
Together we will, forever be we decided
Moving ahead, leaving me behind, you decided

Think of me dear
Think of those days
Think of those moments darling…..
Were they all in vain?

Smiles you bought at the cost of my smiles
Love you bought at the cost of my love
Smiles you take, tears I have
Love is mine, you cannot buy

I love you, I will always proclaim
You loved me once, it will remain.
Lovers you make wherever you go,
You loved me once do I need more?

Angels incarnate for a moment of yours
Blessed I am, I have love of yours,
Lover, darling, mate, my love you are
Love you, Love you, Love you alas!!!!

Angel of Care

The Almighty summoned me,
I immediately rushed to His care.
Sweating and panting He was,
A sight, I admit, not even rare.

‘Lord’ I said, He cut me short,
And said with a breadth that did not last.
The date is tomorrow, month is decided,
India the chosen land has always been”

“Work undone needs completion,
An obligation needs fulfillment.”
Shocked, bewildered, amazed I was,
Clueless as the mortals, when the day would last.

“The purity of Ganges is at stake,
The holy temples, sacred yet pale.
The wave of love once filled the air,
That land now needs an Angel to take care.”

“Time is an element even I cannot hold,
It’s passing by, turning Me cold.
Seconds bid farewell, My heart skips beat,
The World is waiting, the promise I need to keep.”

‘Lord, You are the Creator, the World is Your very own.
You are the source to which, all of us belong.
You have created Mountains and Rivers and Lakes,
Angels so beautiful and humans beyond compare.’

“Easy as you think. I wish it was,
It’s something very special, very close to my heart.
Parents as pure as breadth, sister another Angel,
Friends I will choose, personification of innocence.”

“Call the Moon to be Her face,
The Rainbow can fill the smile,
Call the Oceans to fill them deep,
The Sun that forms the eyes.”

“Nature My own I give Her now,
Yes, now I know, this is how.
Let Fragrance be Her name, the fragrance of My POETRY.
Oh! How I love, love the experience of It.”

“The work is done, the time is ripe,
The Angel is ready, to India will fly.
Humanity is in awe of Her beauty, Gods in awe of Her soul.
She is truly My Angel, My Angel of Care.”
