I will escort you being braver than ever.

If you want a drop of care from me,

I will present you the whole sea.

Happiness

Once upon a time my world was dark...
Very boring! No special spark...
Now my life is bright in its own way!
So many good news it has to say...
It's letting me discover myself day by day..
No more is it an anguish's prey!

I have felt where true happiness lies..
It's in nature, in breezes, in skies..
It's more in other people's joy
It's in a little girl or a boy..
Happiness is not limited to anywhere.
Rather its spread here and there..

I have to find it out by my own..
Coz life is too short a time to moan..
Once you feel happy in other's mirth!
You will be the happiest on earth!
Finding my friends and kin happy enough..
Life is no longer a battle too tough!

The feeling of loving people truly by heart...
Is a secret key to real mirth!
It will give you joy in exuberance
You can't measure its circumference.
Be happy and make others feel the same.
Give your life a brand new name!

Live for others and love them madly..
Dont waste your valuable time sadly!
Happiness is in your hands, find it!
take love and care in a relationship to bind it.
Give unconditionally expecting nothing in return.
You are bound to be the happiest in the long run!

Remember The Roses

Plunged in the plethora of devotions,
Unable to control my cascading emotions,
There I lie petrified by the sudden shock,
My body numb and cold as an ice block,
With broken dreams and shattered hope
Futilely trying hard to elope.
But then realizing, oh where shall I go?
Coz my world has been buried in the snow.


Unable to believe my moistened eyes
And accept although, right in front, the truth lies,
I keep shouting "Wake up for God sake.
This cannot happen, all these are fake."
Not getting a reply, I quiver in fright
Thinking of the last phone call at night.
As the cover of his corpse discloses,
I perceive his last words "Remember the roses".


Seven years as the most efficient commander
He has seemed to me as the world's eighth wonder.
Not only has he been a great lover anyone desires.
But also the most daring man in armour attires.
His fights in the J & K Terrorist attack
Brought him martyrdom and me the worst luck.
Groaning over his frozen dead body
I summon up the memories vivid and gaudy.

Last week only he was with me,
Bright as the sun, dazzling in glee.
How come in these few days then
He is offering me incessant pain!
It's pointless living a life without him
I am into endless dark, awfully grim.
With those dried roses I am now left
Lamenting over the dreams we had weft.

Our Love Is True

When u r not around me then,
I feel I am ruined in pain,
All I want is to embrace u in my arm,
to confess that I can't resist ur charm.

Without u, I am like a fallen dry leaf,
Can't stand this loneliness grief!
With u I am like a newly bloomed rose,
So come back soon and hold me close.

Let us see dreams we have never seen,
and visit places where we have never been,
Let us feel the warmth we have never felt,
holding the hands we have never held.

I love you more than I express,
I need u more than my heart can trace,
Come back when your soul says to do,
You ought to be back, coz our love is true.

Lonely

Lonely in the haze,
Lonely in the rain,
Lonely in the rage,
Lonely in the pain.

Lonely I have come,
Lonely I will go,
Lonely I am dumb.
Lonely I sow.

Lonely I feel.
Lonely I will be.
Lonely in the hill
Lonely in the sea.

Lonely I mourn,
Lonely I will cry.
Lonely I am born,
Lonely I will die.

Life Of An IT Executive

Life of an IT executive is not a bed of roses.
Rather a lot of hard work & strain it encloses.
One has to do beyond scheduled time for hours.
He has to forget living to reach the success towers.
Loads of network problems pop up every day.
Security checking needs to be done all way.
Users throw countless queries being doubtful.
Some behave well, but mostly they are unthankful.
An IT executive don't have time to chill out and lurk
When all leave the office, still he has to work.
No one ever asks him to take a break for tiffin.
No one bothers how his day has been.
He has to work till late nights when all sleep.
Not a single holiday for himself can he keep.
Endless tasks along with lack of vacations,
patiently solving networking complications.
Life is like bread without butter, jam or cheese.
That is how the profession of an IT executive is.

Life

Incapable to fulfill any wish
Life yells in sheer anguish.
After breathing the foul smell
Life crawls itself within a nut shell.

Unable to play its self composed carol
Life deliberately destroys it as a whole.
Moaning at its wrong selection
Life throbs in utter dejection.

Rehearsing the odes it owns
Life sullenly moans and moans.
Drawing erroneous with its nuances
Life brings up its own grievances.

Chasing futilely after victory
Life is exhausted in history.
Competing ineffectually with time
Life commits a secret crime.


Infected by the perilous germ
Life is bereaved of all its charm.
Not getting any question's answer
Life fails to be a comprehensor.

Perplexed by its stark stare
Life drops its integrity in despair.
Struck by the sharp edged sword
Life surrenders to Him- its Lord.

May be because..

Behind the curtains what is true?
Why everything seems to be new?
What does my heart really seek?
Whom it wants to sneak a peek?
Whose thoughts every time fill it?
Why can I never conceal it?

May be because it shows on my face.
It rekindles my soul and augments my grace.
Maybe because it lifts up my spirit.
Under any circumstance, it has a warm greet.
Maybe because he comes in my dream.
And I love to be 'myself' with him.

But why can I never tell him all this?
Am I afraid that our chats will cease?
Will I never confess anything then?
Will I always smile even in pain?
What is bothering me – a sullen ego?
How can I easily let this love go?

May be because I am very scared
That if he rejects my life will be flared.
May be because I can't lose his amity,
I want his genuine friendship till eternity.
May be because I will have nothing to lose
If he leaves me in the ultimate blues.

A Message to the New Year

Sublimed by your exuberant freshness
I welcome you with immense gladness.
You bring new hopes and fresh dreams,
Big goals and great ambitions with no brims.
You take away the sorrows of the last year
And carry enough reasons to enjoy and cheer.
You fulfill our lives with enormous inspirations.
And entice us to have brand new aspirations.
Old miseries are washed away by your charm
As you embrace us in your reassuring arm.
With bright sunshines and sapphire skies,
And dazzling dreams clinging on the eyes,
With more promises and glowing smiles,
Innovative ideas and revolutionary styles,
With newest strategies and aims led high
You willingly bid the past year 'good bye'!
I wish you bestow all of my kins and pals with joy
And prove yourself superb for every girl and boy.
I pray for my family's happiness and peace.
I hope you confer all folks with everlasting bliss.

The Kanchenjungha

With goals touching the sky,
and charming clouds passing by,
The hills of Kanchenjungha lie
With heads held up high!

Pure golden during the sunrise,
Pinkish, at noon, to our surprise,
Orange at the magnificent sunset,
Pompously it stands at the heaven's gate.

With hopes lofty and towering,
Seasonal bits of snow showering,
With its beauty casting a spell,
It's the glory of India, rightly to tell.

A Tribute To My Parents

Not all children are lucky enough to have amiable parents.
Their life moves on through their mom and dad's squabbles.
Fights that outbreak like tempests, flow like torrents,
Bitter wrangles that the day-to-day argument enables.

The kids grow up in the sadistic environment, scared.
Their innocence is lost in the hustle bustle of the family
Due to the clashes the homely atmosphere gets flared.
They forget to live with composure and happily.

To their contrast, I am fortunate and blessed.
I have parents as loving and giving as both of you.
With unkind words never said, brawls never faced
Such lovable and congenial couples are truly few.

I thank God for bestowing me with you two dear.
You are the best dad and the best mom respectively.
Till your shadows are on my head I have no fear.
I am a bequeathed child honestly and affirmatively.

With your bottomless foster and everlasting care,
Unconditional love and selfless tenderness,
Altruistic affection and concern beyond compare,
I surrender to your warmth, your highness!

Thirty three long years of blissful relation you share.
Without fighting a single time in the extensive phase,
How persistent tolerance and incessant patience you bear!
You watch over each other in all possible ways.

Your endless sacrifices since my infantile, nursery
Flabbergasts me, it's undeniable and hard to envisage.
Today since it's yours 33rd marriage anniversary
I am here to pay you my heartiest homage.

May God bless you and keep you healthy and well.
May your self-sacrificing nurture I always revere!
In unlimited merriment and joy may you dwell,
May you love one another in this way forever.

Netaji -The Leader

Throbbing India ruled by the British aroused a patriotic soul
Emancipation of his Mother Land became the flag-waver's goal.
He was the root of mass awakening for the nation's liberty
Asserting that India is not the dominating Britain's property!

In College, unable to tolerate his British teacher's racist remarks,
He allegedly thrashed his tutor and kindled rebellion sparks.
Having Swamiji as spiritual guru & Chittaranjan Das as political,
The leader's temperament and philosophy were justified and ethical.

Formation of Indian National Army to initiate a mass movement
Appositely led to the horrified country's freedom's augment.
INA foundation imprisoned him promptly by the British men.
He starved himself refusing food for around two weeks then.

The authority was bound to put him under house-arrest.
He cautiously made a plan to escape at his level best.
He went to Gomoh, Peshwar and reached Germany finally
Met Hitler, left for South East Asia and raised a mutineer rally.

This was later better known as Indian National Army.
Its effects were tremendously flaring and stormy!
His disappearance made us believe he died in plane crash.
But as his body was not recovered so the propositions clash.

Today we are celebrating his 112th Birth Anniversary.
Even in this modern era, leaders like him are so necessary!
I pay my heartiest homage to the grand freedom fighter
Who sacrificed a great deal to make Mother India brighter!

Poetry

Like a harmonium with reeds of different notes,

Like a surging river of diverse words and quotes,

Like a cluster of clouds murmuring and floating by,

Like an arch of rainbow of seven hues in the sky,

Like a drenched newly blossoming sunflower,

Like the season queen Monsoon's first shower,

Like the crimson sunset at the serene twilight,

Like a free, boundless, wandering little kite,

Like the shiny silvery radiance of a full moon,

Like a butterfly metamorphosed from a cocoon,

Poetry is unbound, gushing, profound and fresh,

An entertaining game of words for a mind to refresh.

A revealed bunch of phrases formerly unspoken,

A language of the forlorn chap heart broken!

A halo of the cosmic world's manifestation,

A sudden outburst of interminable frustration!

An enclosed pent-up heart's expressing ability!

It is truly "emotions recollected in tranquility"!

Paramhansa Yogananda -The Yogi

Camouflaged lies his inner self from the materialistic world.
He is a virtuous saint, a Yogi, the Almighty's allotted herald.
Having vision of The Infinite, he carries his own radiance!
His illuminated superlative persona stupefies the audience!

In meditation he is like a child seeking his mother's love,
God has sent him as an envoy from the heaven above.
His forecast always turns out to be true in any case.
His esteemed teachings are helpful in many ways.

His viewpoints pacify us, the common people, with peace.
His Autobiography enthralls our soul with spiritual bliss.
He is a devout figure awakening us with divine outlook.
His thoughts can easily wash away the sins of a crook.

He will be worshipped always for his contributions.
Getting The Supreme will no longer seem like illusions.
His guidance to the Lord will aid us to be strong.
His existence will live in our minds lifelong.

My Heart Meanders

My heart meanders at leisure time
Hearing the tinkles of the wind chime
How it harmonizes itself with the breeze
And its melody never seems to cease.
I wish I could be so much passionately in love
Meeting the mate fixed from the heaven above
That the music of my soul would last forever
And to confess that ardor I won't waver!
My passion will ripple in my expressions
Oozing out all the inner depressions.
His feelings will be juxtaposed to mine.
Streaming like brook with nothing to confine.
Gently eradicating all my concealed sorrows
His fondness will promise better tomorrows.
His touch will quench my thirst of ages.
Following up what his heart envisages.
Crossing all the barriers he will marry me
And for eternity both of us will be happy.

Moments

Bestowed with joy, laughter and fun,
Cherished with pleasure in the long run,
Monotonous life's perfect add-ons
Blissful are the moments spent with the loved ones.

With efforts being fruitful, dreams coming true,
And endeavours productive, delighting you.
Having the essence of sincere accomplishments
Breath-taking are the moments of success and achievements.

With the anguish of loss of friends and kins,
Death of nearest and dearest, disastrous scenes,
Flames of regrets spreading when the lovers part,
Agonizing are the moments, pricking your heart.

Attainment of motherhood after becoming wife,
Is the greatest treasure of a woman's life.
With the new born baby in the hands to hold,
Amazing are the moments, shielded with gold.

Unfathomable darkness of bewails and pain,
Some instants of loss, some of gain,
With joys in store and conviviality abstained
Recalled are the moments in memories sustained.

Don't Kill Me

The boiling milk in the wok is scary.
I am pleading you, don't kill me.
In the bed of innocence I lie,
Why do you want me to die?

I can take care of you with affection,
I can be your mother's reflection,
Resting safely in the womb so dark,
I am waiting to see the light spark.

When I will come out I will love you.
Then, why you want me bid you adieu?
It's you who will bring me to earth.
Fostering me will give enough mirth.


I also need the light of education,
For what is this gender demarcation?
I want equal rights as my brother.
How can you do this being my father?

I can give you total support in your toil
Why then my birth creates your turmoil?
I will be your beloved daughter, have mercy.
I am a guiltless girl child, don't kill me.

I promise I am yours

You have consoled me in all the pain I have gone through,
You have supported me in all the daily little things I do,
Tell me are you an angel sent by God to take care of me?
As whenever I need just a drop you give me the whole sea!
How come it's possible that there is no ego present in you?
How come in these few days you have feelings so deep, so true?
Your persona reflects Lord and reverence comes naturally.
Now-a-days such altruistic ardor is not found literally.
I shall worship you throughout my life as my Lord.
I promise I am yours and I will always keep my word.

The Inevitable

It will cause your body chill,
And forget life’s fun and thrill,
It will wash away your worries,
Giving you an escape out of miseries.
It will someday be your friend,
Putting your tensions to an end.
It will aid you cross the horizon
Signifying, from the ashes, Phoenix has arisen.
It will finish your mundane lust,
Making your soul calm at last.
It is in every mortal being’s fate.
It is the inevitable, it is called death.

Mother

You gave me shelter I didn’t bother,
You sacrificed everything to foster me,
I ignored you in one way or the other.
Yelling I want to be independent and free.

You yearned to hug me, I didn’t notice.
I never paid attention to your forlorn face.
To your affection I always did injustice.
Though your warmth offered me solace.

You chided me, I misunderstood you,
Thought you were poking your nose.
You gifted me dress and shoes brand new.
I didn’t even show gratitude with a rose.

You wove my sweater, I wasn’t grateful
I took your care always for granted.
Forgetting how for me you were fretful,
Overlooking the lullabies you chanted.

Now I feel deprived of your gentle incessant love,
Recognize that no one can ever be your substitute.
You are the best blessing from the heaven above.
The absence of your supervision makes me a destitute.

Now I realize your true significance,
Now I can value your ardor and care,
Sense that of eternal love you are evidence.
When I see you helpless in the wheelchair.

Your paralyzed arms still yearn to hold me,
Your distorted face yet watches me with concern,
Nevertheless your eyes hold the same courtesy,
Your fervor is something which by money I can’t earn.

A Contrast

Whilst the deprived shiver in cold
I enjoy a sip of hot Nescafe Gold.
When the destitute die out of starvation
I have sumptuous food with celebration.
While the poor are burnt in scorching heat,
I enjoy the chilling A.C. – a royal treat!
Yet I consider myself displeased?
Living lavishly yet never appeased!

The poor have tattered clothes to wear
I keep buying dresses anytime, anywhere.
The tramp grabs a piece of bread from the bin
For dieting, I waste part of a pizza and grin.
The homeless don’t have slippers for the feet.
I have seasonal shoes, hence no deficit.
Yet I claim to be unlucky and wretched.
Awful even with comforts outstretched.

How conceited I am! Shame on me!
What for is then this humanity?
If not to help others unconditionally,
If not using altruism rationally,
We should have the urge to share,
We should develop the impulse to care.
Who will look after mankind if not us?
We must lend a hand to the helpless mass.

Swami Vivekananda - The Prophet

Clad in saffron stands the astounding prophet
Possessing august spirituality and refined thoughts,
Altering the Chicago Parliament of religion's fate
with his ineradicably effective speech slots.

His persona designates knowledge unbound,
Lectures imperative on the individuality of religion,
Delving deep into the truth earlier unfound
That each leads to God in remembrance or oblivion.

Excelling his juvenile days in music and studies,
He was a depository of wisdom and intellect.
Maintaining leadership among all his buddies,
He used to articulately state breathtaking dialect.

Atheist till he met Shree Ramakrishna and was changed,
And became his most noteworthy disciple in a while.
Thousands of deprived people's needs had he quenched
Bringing in each of their face an everlasting smile.

Being India's first cultural ambassador to the West
He focused on the importance of Indian spirituality.
Spreading holiness across the world was his quest
Telling Religion and Science complement in actuality.

Intense was his ideas, profound was his vision,
He wanted to serve and help the destitute,
This led to the foundation of Ramakrishna Mission;
That's an organization, a natural spiritual institute.

The association conducted Vedanta propagation
Serving unconditionally the deprived multitude,
Enlightening every corner spreading education,
Throwing lights of acumen from every altitude.

Having temperament elegant and noble,
His notions proliferated in bulks and swirls.
He was the chief inspiration of Margaret Noble
Who dedicated her life educating Indian girls.

Creating a great stir in the globe far and wide,
He infused awakening of the soul in nations.
He is the very best virtuous orator and guide,
A legend for the forthcoming generations.

What is human life meant for?

What is human life meant for?
If not loving each other forgetting war!
If not going through straights and bends!
If not having dependence on friends!
If not supporting near and dear ones!
If not spinning round future, present, bygones!
If not trusting people who loves you!
If not knowing what is false, what is true!
If not hearing a needy' s cry!
If not helping them standing by!
If not utilising every virtuous chance!
If not having a beautiful trance!
If not exploring the huge earth!
If not discovering the real mirth!
If not finding the endless peace!
If not perceiving spiritual bliss!
If not following the saint's trod!
If not uniting the soul with God!
What is human life meant for?
If not loving each other forgetting war!
