To Mr. Afridi, with love.

Big Heartedness

Different cultures,

Different belief systems and

Different ways of living

Have space in hearts of Indians

Hearts that include.

It is so since many centuries.

Big heartedness is to see greatness,

To see bigness.

You have missed the point, Mr. Afridi.

Please do come again

With an open heart.
A heart that wins..... hearts.

This is in response to comments by Pakistani cricket team captain Mr. Afridi to press, on his return after a tour to India that Indians do not have big hearts.
--

Heart needs few words

He kept on giving

Excuses,

Reasons,

Stories

And details……..

On and on……..

She calmly listened.....

Without saying a word.

At last when he was exhausted,

She slowly put her hands on his.

Her eyelids closing slowly,

……Pause of few moments

Transmitted the essence.

“I am sorry”

Was his response

and

Tears from his eyes carried with it

Hollow logic.

(OSI Prompt : Hollow)

A Bird

How does it matter what reigns?

Winter or spring,

Summer or rains?

Seasons for flowers to blossom or not…

All that matters is

I am in harmony,

And love blooms within.

I have wings or not……

Am I light enough to glide

And silently

Enter your heart?

(OSI Prompt: Humility. Thanks to my friend from Athen,  ρομπερτ)

Apprentice

Apprentice

Teach me lessons of love,

Train me to attend,

Prepare me to assist,

Groom me to be your servant

And

I tender a bond

To serve You for life. 

Teach me to ‘play'

And I will play Your tune

Till eternity.

Acceptance

Acceptance

You switched on lights

To see me

You see me

And

My shadow

Disappointed,

In efforts to see me without shadow

You switch lights off.

Now you can’t see me,

Nor can I see you.

Please accept me with my shadow

My darker side ……
