Countdown


The countdown begins - 10, 9, 8...
But that’s a different story...


Is it really different?
All that begins ...ends
 ..................
To begin again!!



Yet it is so important
For every time it begins,
It has a purpose,
Purpose that gets lost
In the process of living




That fog around it gets dispersed
As I move towards zero,
It gets clearer and clearer


Cannot give any excuse


I resolve
Every count will lift me up
Not take me down


yes, it is different.

Trail


As I grow older…..
It is almost compelling
To talk or to write
To express….

Alone in my room,
Wondering why?

Water is dripping from a leaking tap,
Making sound,
Disturbing tranquility.

I  look up
Overhead tank is almost empty……

Not long
Before sound stops.

Art of NOT living...




Art of not living!

I will read all books I want to....when I have some more time!

I will travel all places I want to...... later some times!

I will meet my old time pals..... Some day!

I will sure relish food I love.....later when relaxed!

I will take days off to do nothing.... when retired!

I want to play like a child.... but stop when think of others around!

I will express my true feelings......to someone someday

Have been waiting for right time, right person, right ambiance, right........
How long will I?

Days and years pass..... Yet I always seem to think,

I have lots of time!

Not everything change


Holding your hand
Carrying a bag heavy with your stuff
Taking to doctors
Waiting for hours
Is as adoring as
Taking you for a fine dinner, my friend!


Each new stage of life
New role played
Yet same old feelings!
Same, always!

What change is on periphery
Centre remains unaffected.

Madness again




A bloody day again
How long will this madness go on?
How foolish it is of them
To think that mindless killings will change
Nature of human on earth.
Can it kill
Kindness
Innocence                                           Love
And mercy in people?
                                                             

  **

And 
how long will world avoid looking where problem is?

Let world unite to say

“An individual’s connection with God (call Him by any name)
Is his private matter
It is up to him how he finds and maintains his connection
No state can have religion
No school can have religion
No place of prayer/meditation can have religion
No funding for religion”

For purpose of religions is lost
Politics of it remains

A Leaf



A leaf falls.

Was it blown away by wind?
Or was tired of the tree?
Or tired of holding on?
Or was tree tired of it?
Or was wind and earth more alluring?

Does it matter?

A leaf falls.
A moment passed.
New leaf will fill the space

 A heart felt pain
 A moment passed

Real Hero, Ravindra Patil.


Real Hero
Ravindra Patil




Once a young boy from Satara
Well built, joins police force
And gets trained as a commando,

Found good to be posted to guard a high profile film star.

Fulfilling his role as a commando,
as a police man,
as a good citizen
Rushed to police station on that dreadful night of Sept 28, 2002
When car of the star he was escorting
Ran over some people sleeping on a footpath,
He told what he witnessed,
Filed an FIR
Stood on his ground
A good commando he was



Department he worked in found him liability
Friends deserted,
Media ignored
Was brought to street
Reduced to a skeleton weighing about 30 kg



He died on Dec’23 2007

Salute to him.


A good commando he was.

--------

Note : Star was tried in court of law and found guilty. He was sentenced five years of imprisonment. Judgment was announced yesterday 06.May 2015. Trial lasted for thirteen years.

Touching


Everything that touches my soul
making me feel lively to life
With smile or tears,
Helps
Make this life worthwhile
More aspiration
More strength to my wings
More courage
And

Sky more open

Circles


It defines
It includes
It attracts likes
It expands
It contracts
All around its center

Your circles define you
Yet you are not your circles
Remain centered

 Wrinkles on her face
Reveal her age
Not how lively is she


Know her well and
Get inspired to live
Again and again

Not Fragile

Not Fragile

It has seen
My swinging moods
Her brazen ways
Ups and downs of life
Yet strengthen as we grow old,
For it is friendship

Not just relationship!

Myth


In love life after life
Myth to others
Story of past life
Fact seen in sky
As a bright twin star
Called Arundhati & Vasistha
In love life after life






Myth it may be
Arise feeling real
Testimonial precious 





--
In certain Hindu tradition a couple after wedding is shown a twin star in sky by the priest. Couple is asked to see it once daily. The star is called Arundhati & Vasistha.
It is actually two stars revolving around each other, seen from earth as one.

Husband and wife should be like Vasishta and Arundhati – an ideal couple in Hindu mythology. No one is supposed to go around the other. Both go around each other and move together.

Meaning of Life


Meaning of life

It is a blank canvas gifted to you
Fill it with colors you want, colors you like,
It is an open sky
Create your own rainbows,
It is a fertile land
Grow garden of your choice,
An album of pictures you choose to take,
It is a poetry you compose,
Story you write
And song you sing

Meaning of life is created by you, for you.
By design or by default!

Void

She is known for her managing skills

Things are well under her control
Be it at work, at home, in party, in picnic
All well managed
Yet she often feels sad
Especially at the end
Be it end of a working day or
When party is over

There is a void at every end
And
She is yet to master art of managing void

Liquid




All she wants is to be treated as
One of them, part of them,
Adjusting with
Husband and in-laws,
Their ways, tastes, values,
Like liquid taking shape of the vessel

Alas she lost her own identity

Often she is made to wonder
If she is a part of them
Or like liquid that can be emptied
.....And replaced?

Curtain



If I reveal it,
Seen by you is only a side facing you
Other sides remain unknown

If I say it,
Heard is only that reach you
Silent cry of my heart remains unheard

Is it not better to just let it be
Behind the curtain?

Curtain doesn’t curtail, it
Alleviates love, for
On its both sides is God,
In reasons as well in passion


Question is
‘Is HE in my heart?’


**
“Since you are a breath in God’s sphere
And a leaf in God’s forest,
You too should rest in reason and
Move in passion”

Embroidery






Gift of a Knitted heart
Helped stitch her
Wounded love




Yet scars remind painful past
Lost, at standstill
Moments pass

With a heavy sigh
Getting on with chores
She smiles at pain

Pinks, greens and blues
Splash of philosophical white
Embroidery of life

Just a walk



I am here to walk some distance
To spot and enjoy beauty around
In places, in people,
In tales, in talks
In gardens, in jungle
In rain, in bathroom showers
In city roads and mountain tracks,

Magic I seek
To put smile on my lips
A song of love in my heart
Dance in my deeds and
Fragrance of friendship in air
For some distance I walk here

I am here to walk some distance

Charisma


 Charisma

Those eyes
Lock with mine for a few moments
A spark is ignited
Spellbound, I look back
Till she turns around the corner

This happened when I was in teens
Yet
Captivated I feel now
As glimpse of those eyes pass through mind
And I relive 
Those moments a little
