KV Srikanth Mar 2022
A new dawn
Invigorating thoughts
For a fresh start
First day today

Renaissance for existence
Last day for apathy
Ended with apathy
Never knew feeling sorry
Gave a high with reasons to cry

A habit needing detoxification
A depressant masquerading as a Stimulant
Hopefully doesn't have withdrawal
Time to search for an ananymous

Faith and hope
Crutches to embrace
Every corner a Chicane
Emphasis is in the Details

Have our events laid out
The day awaits us with its rest
Mimeographs our plans
Or undoes it with its own

A dog with two tails
Feeling the blues
As the day goes by
Destiny will swing by

Horizon of happenstance
We cannot comprehend
What we can comprehend
Not meant to plan and understand

Routine like a few before
Surprises in store like a few before
Both might take a new meaning
In the meaning lies the message

Don't double guess
Just don't guess
Don't try to beat it
Don't withdraw from it

There is no escape route
Plan B will end where Plan A has reached
Flexible and with the flow
No plan required to follow or destiny's pill to swallow
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Sports is never about
Win loose or Draw
It is the commitment
To part of a half that takes part in it all

It is a bedrock that is layed
Heart Soul and Mind cemented
One track mind determined
Power of the will executed

It teaches you the value of effort
Gets you out of the level of comfort
Winning the title is only the dessert
Victory lies in the integrity exhibited

It teaches you respect
The coach who taught
And the coach who wants you beat
The game that makes you sweat
And those who are better at

It nurtures your will
So strong that victory or defeat
Next morning before sunrise
You're back doing your drill


It encourages to dream
Dream of greatness and glory
There is glory in defeat too
You screen your dream
With the entire world as your audience

Wearing heart on the sleeve
Passion a contagious disease
Like it so much
Then its no more work

Burden on becoming Mature
Lies No more with Age
Sport takes the highway
Appropriate behaviour a lot earlier

It instills camaraderie
Only next to the Army
A feeling of oneness amongst many
Is the greatest gift in Triumph or Fall

Conquest brings confidence
Forfeit teaches humility
Winning & Loosing part of any game
Both qualities inculcated simultaneously

Living the sport
Amongst friends and opponents
Congenial rapport built
In harmony with compatible minds

Loosing your identity
With run of the mill mediocrity
Missing out on regular life
Vacations and Barbecues
Sacrifice advance books Podium space

Winning loosing Sports Paradigm
Never teaches the meaning of quitting
Nobody who gave it all
Regret could never waltz

Congrous with the adversary
Willing to **** during game time
Take in like family after
Only Sport gives the opportunity to prove right this theory
An envy which will remain one

Hand shake after a match
Either side of the countdown
You see God in the stands
Regretting that he isn't a Sportsman
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
IS
That which we seek
Need not be
It is within
In all its glory
Remove the veil
Ignorance building a fortress
Knowledge its prisoner
Seeker' s lacking has
Built its own Cell
Keeping in solitary confinement
Blocking his light from shining
The search the searcher the searched the the cover
All are the same
Labryinth posing itself
Inviting you to find your way
Realise that you need not enter
Exit is the same gate
Labryinth vanishes on its own
Gate presents itself alone
Gate becomes a memory
All merge in glory
Glory removes itself
It also an attachment
Self remains
Nothing the same
All in one
One in all
Makes no difference
It knows it is the maker
No ego to divide the two
Oneness with one
Thusness is
That which we seek
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Cannot be purchased or Sold
But can be saved and wasted
Time does time
It knows when
Yours is up
Till then it is a friend
Telling us if we are early or late
Asleep or Awake
It gives us company
It makes you feel lonely
And offers its company
Lest you feel you have a friend
Gives us a dimension
Of everything done
We plan based on it
We accept or reject
On what it takes
Is with you
Giving its undivided attention
On sleepless nights
Telling us to wait till sunshine
Does Its duty
Without being asked
Doesn't fast forward itself
Greatest challenge it has issued
To anyone capable of rewinding it
Theoretically its possible
They keep saying
Time travel is fantasy
Attatched to the harsh reality
Go back in time
When time by itself
Cannot go back in time
Universe Depending on its accuracy
If it were to take a break
To visit an earlier actuality
Devoid of its presence
Will end in catastrophy
Dual existence in timelines
Calculations made by advance science
Time alone heals
World's greatest Psychiatrist
Reduces the trauma caused by pain and hurt
We pass through it gradually
Find ourselves healed eventually
Time warp retro good old days
Indicate its been a pleasant ride
Or else we won't miss the days
Might have been because of people or events
But we always say
We had a good time
Its only a witness
It takes the blame when things go Cross
Events occurring causing us immense sense of loss
Events don't get the blame
Time takes upon itself
As it knows it is the medicine as well
And gets credit for the good as well
Good Bad Ugly and Finally
Time carries us with it constantly
Memory of being lively or ordinary or melancholy
Nothing lasts forever
This too shall pass
Are great philosophies
Time as Its protagonist
Timeless in time
Time is timeless
Time and time again
Time waits for no one
Time is a creation of man
Time is a concept
Conceptual discovery
Carries life and death
Decisions with precision
Expands itself from Seconds which can be further broken down
To decades centuries eras and ages
Its all the same Time
Time doesn't have a twin
To share its burden
Expands and Contracts
For the purpose of human calculations
Fully aware that beyond
The Calculator and a Physics paper
Mankind is Its puppet
Having  no other indicator
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Race decided by lineage
Seeds sown  centuries ago
Different societal norms prevelant
Deep rooted emotions passed through generations

Creates many lines
Superior Inferior Mediocre
Based on DNA
Judged on these parameters

Paradox in search of answers
Qualities acquired can add layers
Race Cast Creed decided already
No act to acquire these neccasary

Rating man within mankind
Putting in a pedestal or kicking him off
Not his acquired sensibities
But a different eras identity politics

A man should never be judged
If at all one does
Its the goodness within himself &   Respect given outside of the self

Generous to a fault
Honesty fills his talk
Living life for others
Trust his better half

A man who possesses
The above as his character
Is not superior or inferior
But a needle pointing to understand human behaviour

Humanity lacking human beings
Lying their tool for bargaining
Divisive of people based on immeasurable
Is Society's most dangerous criminal

If you want to divide
Divide the prosperity
If you want to multiply
Multiply the generosity by paying it forward
If you want to add
Add value systems to society
If you want to subtract
Please delete this race caste creed permanently

We are all one
Borders are only for geography lessons
History should be remembered and forgotten
A twin edged sword

Life life in harmony
With every member of society
When you are alone and needy
You'll understand the value of your own hypocrisy
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Mastery gained by learning
A philosophy or Ideology
To your understanding
Most in tune with your personality
Getting recognised by society

Read teachings and explanations
Or learnt it step by step
Hearing discourses
A lifetime commitment
To learning what lies within

Everyone had a conviction
They have adapted themselves to
Feel very strongly about the lessons

Has helped in their progression
The change it has
Caused in you
That you credit your doctrine
Is not decided by the opinion
Of anyone outside of self

How much has it altered
Is decided not by
Proving that your learning
Is better than the rest
Its popularity versus another
Comparing the Masters who espoused them

Catalyst of reform
Is judged by none of the above forms
There is no norm
Each has the right to a place to belong

Integrity to yourself
How much you implement
Areas you cannot help
Combination of action and faith

How honest you are
In your gains and flaws
The status quo's you wanted to change
But so far could not

Seeking ratification from
Others whoever it is
Will lead to heart aches
Something so dear but they may have another take


Best way to know
If there is a flow
Is not in giving back
Insults or wisecracks

Thrown of balance
How quickly you recover
Emotions played with
Anger replaced by composure


Clarity in the fact
It is not victory or defeat
It is honest expression
Without hurting any sentiment

When insulted or cornered
Untie the knot and release the boat
A fight to prove superiority
You have already lost the fight

No philosophy or master
Asks you to be a fool
People will throw darts
Be unapologetic about your chosen path

Hurt  and react
Emotions and Thoughts
How quickly you
Are able to move to the next task
Forgetting this happened at all

Walking on ahead
Leaving this behind
Not even aware of its source
You are flowing in the right course
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
WHO
Don't get lost
In the tough path
Knowing who you are
Identity crisis may last
Are you the successful person
Who sets targets achieves his goals
Are you feeling inferior because your goals were wrong
And plans didn't work
Defined by the clothes you wear
Are you the popular one or the one no-one misses at all
Are you with friends and family
Or alone and lonely
Two sides of a coin
Choices to be answered
By questions raised daily
Cultivate natural behaviour
Trust your instincts
Be sure of not aping others
Deep down at the core
You will one day know
Who you are
Your real identity
Answer coming from inside
Never be wrong or right
It will be
So just be
