"There is plan B to activate
for my final journey"

Grand father told us
He went to hospital for final
Check up

He told doctor to give him form for ***** donation

Doctor said
"There is no use of your old
and torn organs
They will not work for any

Now you will take my body
To my birth place Jind

Where I spent my golden days
In a large joint family
Till age ten not aware
Who was my real mother

Where I stole butter
Hidden from my eyes

I kept alive fire at fire place
To produce hukka to my father in winter days

I came running to get
Rope and tools
When asked by father in fields

My duty was to carry bunddle of grass on head
To feed our hungry cows

I was never given hard work
As my rest six brothers were stout

Where we celebrated
all fervor together

Where my mother took her last breath
I want to sleep in her lap
on my mother land
Today
Watching stars
In a dark clear starry night
Waiting for a shooting star
To wish for a wish
To bring you in my life
That I know
You were student
I was teacher
In the same school
On the same way

I was math teacher
Teaching in higher classes
You were a cute kid in primary classes

I may not remember all
But I must went in your classes
As a substitute teacher

Must had not seen in your eyes
But must went through the scent of your persona

Many incidents teachers pass through
But these are the students who could recall those stories
they went through

The seeds of your cuteness
Left impression in that invisible world of existence

Almost after twenty five years
Fine roots of those personalities get entangled
To complete the circle of timeless time

That I remembered in a crystal clear way
How did you call me "ma"
respectfully
In those few conversations

I proud to see you
Wearing a crown
Embedded with diamonds
Of many successes

Thank you for calling
Math teacher of your school
You are very polite
As light as feathers

You have ability to bear
As deep as maire

You hold happiness and sorrow with same reaction

Keep on working with same passion

You believe in spirituality
This shows your modality
I don't want
Let my tears dry
Not for cry
To let love flow and spread easily
ma
Smiles to see you smiling
Feels light to see you laughing
Love to see you playing
Croons to see you singing
Sending
Unending blessings
Most beautiful gift
"ma"
In head, heart and soul
 Sep 23 Aniruddha
Valentine
serve me a slice of pie
with a knife and two forks
and a side of stolen looks

we'll split our piece
equally discreet
severed, yet even and clean

quietly savoring the saccharine saliva
as our tongues linger over
a bite of shared sin
Drawing teacher
Gave human figure to draw
On a sheet in artistic way

Many creative figures of arts were displayed

In between a sheet was found
A human figure was drawn
in a clumsy way

Drawing teacher asked annoyingly
"This is what I taught?
I taught you to draw so many human figures neatly.

What is this? "

Child answered innocently

"My grand father is lying on the bed
I am sleeping peacefully on his chest"

Teacher became unanswered

Wrote a remark
Most artistic human figure I have seen"
A girl from class third
Went to the washroom

Came back running
The face was red
Sweat drops were dripping

I asked
"What had happened to your face? "

She answered
"Sun rays have done makeup"
