Interpersonal interactions

Ideological indifference
Ironic intolerance

Imaginary identification

Illusionary intentions
Impulsive indictment

Inevitable injury
Innocence inserted
Inflated I
Initiated impasse

Iternary investigated
Interrupted invaded
Initial interest
Internally incarcerated

Illwill instigated
Insulted irritated
Ignored individual
Improperly interpreted

A sinking ship
The rat makes its trip
First one out of the disaster
An art no one should master

It speaks of character
You have none if you're a ditcher
Liar in every layer
A human being cannot go lower

Snitches get stitches
An adage for ages
Repairing broken bridges
Not an option for these acts of Cowardice


Tattletale another name
Saves his skin in any game
Reveals secrets about the same
Has no self respect or shame

Looks appealing
Playing both sides
Roll of the dice
A matter of time
Before cut to size

Keep away from people
Who play you on the double
Wont blink before letting you scramble
Lifes greatest preamble

Information barter
Seeming benefits to cater
Wanting to be popular
Nature by itself regular
Rewards for being an informer

Caste creed and color
Dont separate man
With life on the line
Those who can
Can of worms not split
Stand apart from the rest

Opposite of loyalty
Anathema to Gratitude
Quality to loathe
Take an oath

Keeping the secret
Builds character
Friend turned foe
Tests your role

Never buy you future
With secrets to offer
Closets in your cupboard
Wont take long to rebound

Rebirth is repaying
Karma the currency
God the banker
When will it end we wonder

Self Realization the answer
Know yourself to ponder
Nothing else to wonder
Become one with the creator

Good and bad
Two sides of the same coin
They never meet
Until entered in the balance sheet

Discard the veil
Fake gives way
Real becomes clear
That nothing is real

The gods will answer
Only one prayer
Seeking relief from Rebirth
This however will be granted
To those who only desire
Is to keep away from other desires

Debt to the Creator
Law of Nature
Unlock the seeker
Rebirth automatically surrenders

Gratitude the first step
Forgiveness towards the other self
Compassion universal
Takes you one step closer

Removal of desires
Searching greener pastures
Momentary and transient
Pleasure seeking impermanent

Sense of doing
Achieving or failure
Taken very personal
Steps taken backward

Life teaches lessons
Answers lie in life
Learning outside life
Come back to live life

Man sacrificed himself
For the sake of mankind
His life his message
Jesus Christ son of Mary and Joseph

My father was a Jewish carpenter
Spread love and tolerance amongst each other
Wanted to change the world order
Carried the Cross for every sinner

Crucified out of fear
The man shed not a tear
What they feared hed become
Hoped by crucifixion hed succumb

The man was no man
Son of god playing a man
Summoned for a mission
Unleashing terror and torture not even a distraction

Forgiveness his essence
Every word carried substance
Recording of every instance
Has helped mankind

A god to his devotees
A friend to a friend
A father to a son
A son to a father

Close your eyes and say a prayer
Say his name with faith and a tear
He will protect you at every layer
With his name on your lips
The demons surrender

With him in your life
As friend Philosopher and guide
Son of god internalized
All roles he will perform
Dont bother to categorize

The only one who will recognize
Even if you curse him and antagonize
Who else can be god but
He who had everyone in his heart

Ignore him and his deeds
He still cares for your creed
Dont have him in your heart
You can never set him apart

Your equation with him
Is of no consequence
His equation with you
Is showering love and affection

Compassion in  thought
Forgiveness in the heart
Purity of the Soul
Jesus Christ's story told

God and son of god
I bow humbly before the cross
Be with me in my path
Take me with you when I depart

Beauty and the beholder
In sync with each other
Skin deep a perception
Not really another dimension

Reality to one
Not necessarily to the other
But reality' s nature
Is nature's reality

Questioning the reality
To make a mockery
Is to hurt emotionally
**** the soul permanently

Unless a seeker
Reality not deeper
Outside in nature
Also part  of law of nature

Difference of opinion
Dividing line in emotion
Superficial in logical
Forgiveness is magical

Decision on information
Intelligent brain function
Bring in the feeling
Change in requirement

Reality changes
Universal progress
To change with change
Is the change less state

Rebirth is repaying
Karma the currency
God the banker
When will it end we wonder

Self Realization the answer
Know yourself to ponder
Nothing else to wonder
Become one with the creator

Good and bad
Two sides of the same coin

Fostered and nurtured like a heiress
Time to part with it a natural process
Destiny of Chacobi written by the man upstairs
Handed over to a new set of parents with similar desires

Grilled and quizzed
Anything goes amiss
Satisfied and confident
That shes found a parent

Tests for eligibility
Tests the hearts purity
Treat them with quality
Equality akin  to fellow humanity

Missed by the rest
Wish her the best
Gods own creation
Will keep it under his protection

Never heard of a couple
Whose lives revolved with multiple
Cats as pets a common fare
Cats as kids   an  unique affair

Question of existence
Most asked question
Questioning the existence
Mans favorite past time

An in between position
A matter if convenience
Prescience or abscence of reverence
Neither present in the person

Different religions add to the confusion
Each having their own interpretation
Give a well packaged presentation
Accepted without asking any questions

If there is a creation
There has to be a Creator
Created and creation are the same
Teaches another contradictory to the former

Good deeds and bad deeds
Form the balance sheet
Does not require any analysis
Place in heaven or hell decided after you've become posthumous

The mind and body
Wrongly identified
Self enquiry needed
To realize otherwise

Karma theory
Enforced fully
Soul finding another body
Capacity decided by the karma theory

Routes to attain
The great lords grace
Cut past to the chase
Paraphrase from texts the easiest way

There is a god in heaven
God is everywhere not in any location
God is in everything
You are god possessing everything

None of this is real
Its fictional fuel
Refusal and ready for a duel
Following of any completely futile

Neutral without angle
Riddle and a puzzle
Answers to these multiple
Not to delve deep keep it simple

Different in ideology
Each a different philosophy
In conjunction apart from morality
Faith and hope only commonality

Messiahs and Saints
For every religion
There for every generation
Spreading their existence the only reason
Showing the path to Realization

Waiting for a miracle
Lifes biggest debacle
Miracle only a minisclue
Part of faith's multitude

Destiny a step brother of theology
Used as a cushion in times of complexity
God in his capacity has already
Decided the path of the journey

Law of Nature or the Order
Terms used to describe the maker
A force superior
Creates and removes the barriers

Spiritual Atheist Deist & Ietsist
More branches straddling between the theist and atheist
Leftist and Communist form another list
Religion every generations zeitgeist

State of Zen
There for every human
Practiced in succession
Contradictory to Zen

Zen is being
Eating while hungry
Drinking while thirsty
Answer for zen remains locked in Silence

Spiritual insight required
For any progress
Egoless state of being
Helps understanding
That when the time comes  it will hitself

Honesty and oneness to an act
When is it considered to be in lack
Quality of work given a back seat or
Some one better at it completing it

Your best output can only be the best you can
Duplicating more successful personality is trash can
Better than you were yesterday
Measure of progress in the best way

A personality to follow
Guided by his principles and dedication
A guideline for action towards the destination
If unable to replicate the action
No harm in changing the traction

Trying to be limitless
Is easier said
Harness the thought process
Progress will lead to more progress

Unable to overcome limitations
By itself not a limitations
Work within your  limitations
End result will be beyond your limitations

Mathematically doesn't add up
The unknown factor comes up
The known and unknown sums up
Tye rewards your vibration throws up

Work till you become
One with the work
Work and you inseparable
Work is you and you are work

This done with your skill
Only your boundaries of skill
Knowledge added to the skill
Intelligence and experience adding to the skill

Comparison of ability
To judge its efficiency
Exposes despondency
Filled with inferiority

Requesting others to do your job
Hiding under a person or a pretext while executing your job
Running away being overwhelmed by the nature of the job
Afraid of humiliation and rejection on completion of the job

Cut past to the chase
Come face to face
It can be only your face
Face it eyeballing at the other faces

Nothing to take responsibility
You've done your best already
You did not do someone else's best the accusation
You can only be your integration

Flushing Meadows 91
Jimbo had a last 4 run
Out of tune in the earlier open
Had a wrist surgery done

Approaching his 39th birthday
A few days away
Started his night which went into day
Patrick McEnroe at the other end holding sway

Two sets to love
Three games to love
Love 40
Down in all 3 parameters
Sets Games and Points
A full house crowd
Gently dispersed
Not wanting to see the Legend once fierce
Now in reverse

I got him and the match
Patrick thought but as he said
With Jimbo you never can tell
Till you shake hands at the net
Exactly what happened next
Jimmy turned the match
Third set with his lead diminishing
Jimmy said famously
See you in the 5th
Met him as promised
Shook hands at the net
2 am the next
Winning the match

Many Greats who'd left the stands
Embarrassed to see him play the losers hand
Decided the result before hand
Papers next day had a surprise in hand

They want more drama
Iam gonna give it to them
The Jimmy Connors scream
Tells us that we too can dream

Next on the other side
Michael Schapers
Reached a ranking of 25
Now a qualifier
Had a bad year earlier
Hence put thru the grinder
It was vintage Jimbo
3 sets in the row
Dutchman was a no show

Karel Novacek
The no 1 Czech
Seeded 10 was once 8
Lost in straights
Few games into the first set
Thought Jimbo was easy to get
Made the same mistake
Different story at the net
Shook hands in disbelief
Actually felt a sense of relief
The sold out crowd chanting Jimbo s name
Court converted into a Colloseum all the same
Every point Jimmy lost
Crowd turning hostile representing a lynch mob

September 2nd
39th birthday celebrations
20000 plus audience
Joining the celebrations
Celebrated in his own style
Pre Quarter final on the line

Aaron Krickstein
Standing in between
Jimbo and history
When it comes to glory
No one fights harder than Jimmy

A former world number 6
Had his ambition fixed
He had his tricks
Standing in the midst
Front row seat for Legendary Jimbo grit

Tennis Stadium sounded
Like a football game
No individual sport had garnered such fame
Tempers flying in all directions
Umpires decisions questioned regarding its effectiveness
David Littlefield in the chair
Had a lot of heat to bear
Formed a new vocabulary
Kids of that generation used constantly

One game away from
The match slipping away
2/5 down in the 5th set
Feral instincts intrinsic
Created the birthday magic
Everything he did defied logic
Fans ecstatic

Lost the first set against Paul Haarius
Won three next 3 marching into the Semi
Considered by many to be the greatest point in Tennis history
Time stopped in New York city as people went dizzy

Everything changes
On of the most uses adages
Won the US open 5 times
On all  the 3 different surfaces at different times
Clay Hard and Grass
Including the inaugural win at Flushing Meadows
Going into week no 2 a miracle
Even for a 5 time winner of the title
The story he scripted here biblical
Lost in the last 4 battle to Courier
But won the hearts forever
No sacrifice big enough for immortality
His heart the reason for his enduring popularity
My city and My people as he declared proudly
5 generations of opponents during a 20 year career none could have handled this more Wisely

Playing against him
Is like playing against an army of 40000 fans
Gathered to watch him dance
Every match sold  out in advance
Black market tickets for a 1000 dollars
No seller all buyers
Crowds outside the stadium
Matching those inside
A very rare sight
His mere presence a delight
All his opponents feared the most
As he was always a darling of the crowds
Joke goes around that even the opponents family
Actually roots for Jimmy

This is what they want
This is what they paid for
Said this aloud to the crowd
Established his legacy
and with the fans his intimacy

Greatest fortnight in Tennis
Said most of the games players and  pundits
A wild card entry  given
Their most wise decision

Sailing into the Sunset
Time he will decide
On his own terms
His name is James Scott  Connors

His tagline which he underlines
That follows him at all times
Sums up his Attitude Charisma Fame and Game
IF I EVER ENTER THIS STADIUM IT IS GOING TO ROCK N ROLL

Difference of opinion
On a small issue
policy decision or
Matters in the public domain

Hate without reason
On wrong assumptions
Other compulsions
Yarn weaved to create the emotion

Abhorrence for injustice
The seeker of justice
Must learn to practice
End up as a novice



Forgiving the other
Option is better
Load carried lesser
Mind utilized better

Start an argument
Ignoring an option
Verbal abuse to mention
Faults of the other person

Dig deep into the causation
Emerges the correlation
Ego and pride hurt the reason
Cause of this whole phenomenon

Maintaining the balance
Straddling the silence
With bottled up violence
Rational in abscence

Loathing the being
A reflection of your doing
Positive energy evaporating
Outside world never changing

Hostility to another mortal
Mirrors your downward Spiral
Attempt to change others futile
Forever live in denial

Disregard for others
Splitting image of self
Respect yourself
But naturally respect the rest

Branding them enemy
Unforgiving and Apathy
Filled with despair
Too late to repair

Thinking becomes disoriented
Brain guided by hatred
Ego gets inflated
Soul no more sacred

Relationship gone for a toss
For absolutely nothing at all
Over the years build a wall
Alone and lonely a free fall

Characters that you despised
Continue to lead their life
Your anger makes no difference
Only you remain frustrated and with grievance

Best is to let go
Ignore the issue from the word go
Reversing the relationship a no go
Mind becomes a merry go round

Highest form of maturity
Dont show the enimity
Always show Social decency
From the heart never let them in your freqency

Thoughts facing the opponent
There is no opponent
The word I does not exist
Everything falls in place as it is

Definition of integrity
Treated everyone equally
Possessed every quality
Boon to the student community

First lessons in Punctuality
Never taken lightly
Ingrained in us permanently
Made us better citizens in Society

Ironed shirt and polished shoes
Set the standard and the rules
An example for everyone at school
Never once lost his cool

Baritone voice unmistakable
Knowledge of the language impeccable
Personality and Conduct impressionable
His very presence and demeanor respectable

Treated everyone equally
Showed no signs of partiality
Took his profession seriously
An epitome of integrity

Manners his priority
Would impart it politely
How to conduct yourself with dignity
No one thought it more appropriately

As the subjects got tougher
He became our teacher
Taught English prose and Grammar
Marked everyone including his son without fear or favor

The Schools Assistant Head Master
Entire school had found a mentor
Straddled Education and behavior
Blessing in disguise for every teenager

Calm and Collected
Revered and Respected
Man of benevolence
Epitome of Goodness

Personification of Patience
Listened to every grievance
Kindness his very essence
A blessing even to reminiscence

Seldom a word Spoken
If not required
Every utterance thoughtful
Silence to be understood

Generations to benefit
From his wisdom and wit
Deemed everyone fit
Never threw a rage of fit

I bow to him
Not a day goes by
Without remembering him
Wish he were still with us
I'm sure his spirit is guiding us

A leader among teachers
President s award winner
The award gets the honor
Bestowed upon this Scholar

Respect must be paid
For the relentless efforts he made
In our thoughts and prayers Every single day
The legend Mr A Selvadorai

Taking up the duty
To protect the community
One of the three
Last resort for many

A giant snake with many heads
In the middle of the Oceans bed
His place to rest
His wife the Godess of Wealth

A section of the people
Follow him intensely
Epitome of divinity
Abode for every devotee

Literature about his ideals
Dates back millions of years
Prose Poetry and Sonnets
Whatever you ask he giveth


Every corner of the country
Has temples that house his glory
Has different names originating from a story
Each telling you how much he is worthy

Saints and Sages
Passionately for ages
Wrote transcripts for pages
Has made him ageless

Methods of worship in temples
In his case very different
Particular and perseverant
Pleasing him with dedication.

The supreme power inate
Devotees liberally donate
All his abodes remain wealthy
He shows his kindness on the weak and needy

His place of dwelling
The biggest blessing
Get his address
Considered self realised

Taken many forms
To teach manking its norm
Ten and counting
Wisdom parted the greatest protection

His forms too worshipped
Depending on the message he carried
Path of life to be followed delivered
World a peaceful place if mankind adhered

Classical Music with lyrics
Singing his praise full of spirit
Devotion to him has not limit
Any wrongdoing his judgement swift

Have him in your heart
He will never part
With him never apart
You are God

Circling around LAX
My heart not taking any rest
Excited about the best
Thing to happen in my life

Visit the United States of America
Heard about it from 20000 miles afar
Seen it in the movies that played in India
Past 30 years that's the thought that caused sleep apnea

Dream remains a dream
Until this day unable to redeem
Seems so easy when it comes to others
I seem to be cought in a web of curse

Pursuing higher studies
In one of the universities
Bad judgment due to lack of clarity
But glad that I tried wholeheartedly

A fixation for decades
Self Actualization made it fade away
To be worthy true for any pursuit
Is that neccessary to go even as a tourist

Sense of competition
Driving force for Realisation
Of the dream into actuality
It existed only in my verbosity

Throwing out challenges
Completely hollow inside
No one takes you seriously
Cant blame them for that's the reality

Influenced only by movies
Come across a complete novice
Ability to go to America
Even did self enquiry to get the formula

First one to Express desire
False step till today I regret
Influenced friends and cousins to aspire
I'm the only one it still remains an aspiration

Kids and newborns
Have already visited
Not even born when it cought my fancy
Half a dozen visits already while for me it still remains a fantasy

Is it not in my Destiny
Am I not worthy
Is it a conspiracy
Are my mistakes so costly

Remains an illusion
For everyone else common
Unsolvable mystery
Decades in quandrary

Woke up from my sleep
Circling around LAX nothing
But a day dream
Wishful thinking years later
How do I answer the Visa officer

How is it easy
For everybody
But am impossibility
Only for me

Have asked many this question
None has the Solution
Many have offered  help
This happens only by self help

Shirley Bassey renders the song With an original score by John Barry
Sean Connery final official outing as James Bond
A great swan song

Looking to duplicate
Personalities alternate
Entire life dedicate
Personality to integrate

Intellect and achievement
Rated high and respected
Succeeded where you failed
On a higher pedestal placed

Leads to a disorder
You become your own reporter
Narrating events like a news reader
Reality is you want them to underwrite your behavior


Seeking ratification
Under the assumption
Of their ability to function
Cause of all the confusion


This is the very foundation
Where acts and thoughts become dependent
On their ratification
Thinking it's the final Solution


Dependency is a disease
Where you are at ease
Responsibility lies with these
Who make your decision making process a breeze


Every major or minor decision
Calling for their attention
Forcing them into a conclusion
Strengthening the equation

Emotional dependence
Two sides of the same weapon
You can never fathom
Life without their wisdom

Without your knowledge
Comes the whole package
Lived life under their tutelage
Own life unable to manage


When not on the same page
You earn their displeasure and rage
When and where did all this oringinate
The day you started becoming their baggage

Updating and hoping
They approve your actions
Laying out future desires
Expecting like minded answers

Asking for advice
Yearning for guidance
Learning a life'llesson
Can be forgiven


Stage of conclusion
Because of your dependence
End up a nuisance
Affecting their existence
Your presence no more a pleasant experience

Unpardonable the act
To keep your life in track
Using ploys to attract
Their time spent in you intact

An addiction by definition
Without any consideration
Operating under the notion
Your lifes quest their only option

Time and Privacy respected
Best way to stay endeared
Time and privacy hindered
Perfect reason to be cornered

Their time taken for granted
The mistake committed
Too late to realise
Your mistake already transcended

A baggage not worth to carry
Your life they need not worry
Get your life in order
Either way it doesn't matter

As with any addiction
Answer lies in detoxification
Celebrate your uniqueness
Learn to live with the consequence

Looking to be funded
Seems like life has ended
Financial dependence paves
For Relationships decadance

Even bread and butter
If unable to muster
Seeking outside a blunder
Die it doesn't matter

Hobbies and collections
Seasonal and flippant
Want to possess them
Bad luck live without them

Continuing for decades the franchise never ceases to impress


M the head of operations
Fredrick Gray the minister for defense
Bernard Lee and Geoffrey Keen
Veterans of the stage
Across the series made to play
Universal exports the cover organization
Money penny the flirty intelligent and harmless assistant
No effort to hide her pining
With Bond often playfully ignoring
Her verbal interplay with Bond
Wonderful chemistry these scenes add value beyond


Every film a roller coaster
Throws in everything including the kitchen sink for entertainment
Its box office appeal to bolster
Each film creating records
Beating the earlier


Ruthless and casual
Knowledge of varied subjects a bonus
Humorous and dangerous
Never loses focus
Every character a pawn
Moves it to get the job done
Saves the world time and again
Next crisis on only to begin


Attempts to **** him lost count
His presence of mind gets him out
Greatest character created in movie history
Etched in people's memory who forever sing their glory


60 th year for the franchise
Longest lasting goes without saying
Foundation laid by Sean Connery
6 films and a decade at the helm
The very sight if him made people melt


George Lazenby was tried for On her Majesty
First Non Connery Bond was Average
The producers knew they couldn't leverage
Opted for another actor
Who had just finished 8 seasons of The Saint
Global hit TV show that brought him international fame
Roger Moore was his name


Filling in the shoes of Sean Connery
Roger Moore carried forward the legacy
Brought in more humor bordering on parody
Suited the role to a T
7 films and 12 years later
Nobody does it better

Einstein had his calculation
Philosophers call it revelation

Stay in the present
Mantra for great achievement
Thought process not defined
Isnt that path also refined ?

Exist in the present
Future non existent
Past doesn't make sense
Solution for many problems

Anxiety the difference
Between the now and not now
By order you will never know
The point is you need not know

Conditions of the mind
Brain playing its game
Resisting it the biggest bane
Allow it flow and itll seem so lame

Are extremely immature
Punching bag for anybody
Not at all our duty

Self image Actualization
Problem with mankind
Self actualization leads
To honest and true expression

It's only a guide to teach
Resetting the goal
Most sensible approach

Defeat is not real
Unless given reality
A pure state of mind
Be kind to yourself and you'll do just fine

Mind wanders in it's own
Live life moment by moment
Acceptance including non acceptance
Separate thinker automatic disappearance

Zen about the experience
Observe it without judgement
Judging oneself creates a nuisance
Issue solved only by transcendence

Triggered as always
By the unknown in many ways
Found peace in pets
In a million years I wouldn't have bet

State of Zen
Just by talking to them
Staying in the present
Their  life's biggest present

The cats mere presence
Increased their tolerance
Always benevolent
Now without judgement

A couple of varied interests
Indepth knowledge but no vested interest
Pets now their priority
Everything else secondary


A cat in the Apartment
14 floors from the basement
God making a statement
From then on most relevant

Their destiny tied together
There is no other answer
Why should Booch Wander
Simply following Nature's order

2 more added
With love adopted
Siblings of opposite genders
Injured badly by a sadistic offender


Girl named Meimei
Chinese for Sister
Panda her brother
Brother and Sister now together


Love for animals rights
A matter of Spiritual insight
Lumlum the fourth   that lost half  its sight
Its plight strengthened their ties




Parents to new born
That's how they  views their lot
A lot to learn by observing
They always go only to the deserving

Teacher shows up when student is ready
Cats showed up when life  was in quandrary
I can never share their  happiness
But I completely understand the passion


They have 8 more lives
Meditative they made  life
If the theory of rebirth is true
Theyll come back to them  for sure

Passion now turned to devotion
Loving them more than a fellow human
Day to day spent in the presence
Nothing short of a severe penance

One with the self
Self realized
Cats Aiding in the act
Their duty intact

Quest for company
Now an anomaly
The only reality
Peace and tranquility

Day to day transaction

Lockdown created situation
Unique in its regulations
House arrest of a city
Exception given to nobody

Passing each day
Any which way
Time standing still
A lot of time to ****

Fear of the disease
Totally I'll at ease
Focus on every symptom
Relating it to the diaphragm

Home bound and clueless
Add to it fear psychosis
WhatsApp filled with rumors
News channels creating neurosis

Situation so bad
Inability to act
Passively observing
Makes it more frustrating

Place of work closed
Careers dangerously poised
Incomes dwindling no sign of improving
Let alone the future even the present eroding

Inside the hell hole
Inmates in every soul
Only darkness in sight
No one outside to show the light

Loss of near and dear
Cannot even stand by the rear
To much of  burden to bear
Only solution in the tears

Plight of families
In distress with deaths
All alone in this mess
Lockdown  created by the Virus

Images and illusions
Uses as masks
Hiding true objectives
Present in most but relative

Image and Real
Dividing line
Very sublime
Doing fine

Image projected outside
Against self inside
Reality and Creativity battle
Self actualization only way to settle

From the real
Projected the fake
Schizophrenic nature at stake
Correct before it's too late

Mirrored outside totally false
Image actualized the task
Mirror broken image shattered
Motives exposed illusions
Evaporated

Express yourself honestly
Oneness in personality
Delving deeper into the self
Find out more about yourself

True to self
Expressing inner self
Gains self respect
Nothing to detect

True to image
Character gets damaged
People easily read the message
Never too late to carry out the change

Point of Spiritual insight
It will hit itself
By itself
Only the self

A busy lane
Narrow frame
Two cars could not cross
At the same time
Chaos and confusion reigned Supreme

An obscure building
Wouldn't catch your attention
Housed a club premises
Of two varying interests
Table Tennis and Cards

A small door
Along with it the canals odour
Dimly lit indoors
With not a single window

Toilet and a phone
Also housed a carrom zone
4 tables lined in order
Next room housed the card player

Mylapore Gymkhana club
Diminutive in appearance
With a small parking space in the front
A place of historical importance
Produced Champion after Champion

Tables numbered in order
Determined the quality of the player
Senior Junior and Sub Junior
Played with their respective partners

The air filled with Positivity
Sportsmanship and equality
Will to win in every player
Who played at every layer

Ability to play the game
on any given day
Weighed on a justice scale
Determined which table you play

Background never mattered
Wealth and Influence nobody cared
Integrity to the game noticed
Absolutely no prejudice

Play with your peers only rule
Any attempt to spar with a better player met with ridicule
Improvement in game the only consideration
To play with a better paddler
At his dispensation

No Coach present
Learn by being observant
Want to raise in the ranks
Show performance in the match

Legends of the game
Proud to lend their name
Respected their place of practice
From novice all the way to winning the Championship

All tables with players
Learning and playing with each other
Each a ladder to another
Owed a lot to one another

Discipline present
With no one to Discipline
Coached in the game
With no one to Coach
System of competence
Endeared
With no one to judge
Dedication to the game integral
With no one to Enforce

Booked its place
In the history of the sport
A paradox of a place
Which can never be replaced

Visited the club everyday
To see paddlers play
Great opportunity presented to me
For this was what meant to be

7 years from 77
Club was heaven
Watching and learning
Took to the Sport 2 years coming

Thankful to the men
Who gave me attention
Helped shape my character
Life became a lot easier

Became a coach
Of the same Sport
Nostalgia for the club
Reason I got the job

Teaching avid learners
Imparting sporting values
Every player who I watched in action
I dedicate all my success to them with devotion

Each player a personality
I thank each personally
For the love and affection showered
Considering my age I could have easily been ignored

The opportunity to visit the club
Greatest gift God showered
Getting to know players if that calibre
Solely determined my future

Game of Tennis
Followed with Passion
Addiction or Abstenance
Inborn ingredient
Still a teenager
Unaware to decipher
****** into the genre
Of Obsessive Compulsive disorder

Borg and Connors
Superstars of the Sport
Fans of both
Supported them at the very core
Great Personalities with individuality
Each at the other end
Of the behavioral spectrum

Transformed the game
Purely on the popularity of their name
Remained a club Sport
Transformed into arenas
And increased the antenna
Game and person
Seen in unison
Dichotomy in reason
For fans not evident

Endorsements made them Ubiquitous
Every Magazine with their commercials synonymous
Personal life now on the front pages
Looking back today that hasn't one bit dated
Insights into their lives
Provided in detail
Imitation best form of flattery
Their OCD taken very seriously
They considered it reason for their Victory
Works for them will work for me naturally
Every detail loud and clear
Had both their approval
Fans in their minds clear
Anything copied makes you feel near

Borg had his list
So did Connors
Followed the list
In the beginning for fun
Didn't know that the foundation of a disorder had begun
Practicing in the same court
Wearing the same t shirt
Booking the same flight
Sitting on the same seat
Racquet pressure strung together
Lined up in a particular order
Picked from sheer obsessive behavior
Not shaving during the tournament
Hours of sleep determined
Time for a shower
No change to occur
Falling on his knees
Looking up at the sky
Thanking the almighty
with a sigh
Many more to list
I'll write another

Bounces before serving
Connors list beginning
Counting then till felt right
Umpire had to force with all his might
No of racquets no change
Hitting the strings before the game
Route taken from hotel ti stadium always the same
If even one of the above were to change
Willing to even forfeit the game
Shoe laces tied in a particular order
Order of things in the bag did matter
Pointing the racquet after a point
Fist pumping his signature
Was another measure of disorder
Many More to list
I'll write another

Followed these first with ease
Easiest trait to copy
But things turn ugly
Stuck with the OCD sans the trophies
In the Coaching business
Took gigantic proportions
Things to do before a tournament
Took longer than the actual event
Disease by defenition spreading
Personal life no more an exception
Already existing due to all the fan worshipping
Made worse by taking up the profession of training

Same route to work
Even socks chosen has a method
Time of departure never to endanger
List of things done in the same order
Even and Odd counting
Depends on the activity engaged in
Many more to list
I'll write another


Camel in the tent
Mind becoming hell bent
Following the list top priority
Everything else including thinking a rarity
Driving in top gear
Major issues in the rear
Only this matters
OBSSESIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

Missing means lacking
For a fellow human being
Emotional weakness
Projected sadness

Mocking and joking
At people in mourning
Not real but acting
Can be no real suffering

Move on is but natural
Limit to being sentimental
Being very vocal
Unnatural and dramatical

Attitude of mine
Which I defined
A matter of time
The postman rang

Idolized as a teenager
Happenstance much later
Have as an employer
A decade spent together

Last visit home
3 Sundays ago
Had I known before
Would have relished the moments more

Dropped him back
In the car sitting on the back
Driven by my nephew
Who knew?

Deep inside myself
Void ballooning itself
Phone calls daily
About movies we both were crazy

His presence replaced
By photos in place
Does not offer Solace
Answer in Gods grace

Time will heal
It always does
Works by default
Not by design

Memory is time
Captured in a roll
The brain cells hold
For the better or worse

The show must go on
Time to remain strong
The only real balm are in
The lyrics of any poets song

Voluntary Action
Required no reason
Aware of its function
Never paid attention

An act as easy
Inhale and Exhale duly
An exercise to remain healthy
No reason or cause for worry

Peace and Prosperity
Seldom present globally
Pandemic presiding universally
Doomsday Prophets claim victory

Nuclear warheads
And Defence budgets
Countries readying to protect Borders
Apocalypse awaited
Through armed forces

Wars and Battles predicted
Entire population anhilated
Most prepared rewarded
Powerful nations listed

Times of distress
Breath easy to reduce stress
Breath easy now the stress
Cause of all distress


Not a shot fired
No knives drawn
Hand combat no impact
Expect the unexpected an ignored fact

Who would have thought
That what was never taught
Will now become a law
Punished if done with a flaw

Humanities greatest calamity
The easiest act makes people crazy
The world in a state of dizzy
Breath easy and end up at the cemetery

Tanks and Warheads
Seem like Kindergarten kids
Billion spent to stay ahead
Sneeze and take as many lives

Simple now complicated
Complicated now not rated
Act as simple as breathing
Effect on Mankind devastating

No warfare to engage
The only way to manage
To safeguard the human race
Is to simply cover half your face

Contradiction its weapon
Attacks the pulmonary system
Claimed its every victim
Only breather Is the symptom

Not in human form
Not designed by any norm
Nameless and faceless
Always active and never rests

An enemy everywhere
Residing nowhere
Traveling through thin air
No life to spare

Nothing to fight
Except ones own death
What causes the death
Not even a suspect

Unable to cage
Inability to gauge
The Pandemic's rage
Now on every research page

Loosing lives everyday
Watching it on the news night and day
What a way to spend away
Reduced to counting death rates everyday


So far only a name
Nothing else remains the same
Human intelligence put to shame
People's life not a game


Water and Oxygen a commodity for consumption
Now forced into mass production
Compass pointing present situation
There will be a Solution
But for the millions lost souls
Where will we get Absolution

Is it politics and economics
Pharmaceutical tactics
Money making motives
Putting lives at risk

No Answers found to combat
Till then follow and format
Solitary confinement
The delivered judgement

Self given punishment
No human interaction
Alone and lonely against this predicament
Neither alone or lonely
One of seven billion

Sunday evening
No good movie showing
Not heard of anything
At the theaters playing

Recognized a face
In a poster on the daily paper
Played a role years earlier
In a Martial arts rollercoaster

Name was synonyms
With the character he played
Bolo real and reel name
Now in a film with Van Damne

Bloodsport the film
Declared a huge hit
Tickets sold out
Black market no go

Not too interested
But still disappointed
Taken for granted
Full house never expected

Riding my bike
Friend seated Pillion
Bereft of any decision
Home bound only option

Crossed another theater
Saw the poster and decided
It was not worth it
A man with 2 tickets offered it


Dragged our feet inside
Saw the film's stills outside
2 names above the title
Mattered so very little

Strolled into our seats
Close our eyes and go to sleep
A sold out audience
Awaiting the films inception

Had seen the trailer
While watching another picture
One more in the action genre
Nothing new to offer
The film released as a one week filler
Between 2 other
Weekend over
No chance to recover
5 more days to endure
Tide turned over
Word of mouth the do'er
People flocked together
To watch this blockbuster
Never ending run in the theater
A pilgrimage for every moviegoer


Title card said Bruce Willis
Thought he was a novice
Only to be proved the opposite
Made me sit up in my Aisle seat

Aged nineteen
Influenced by his smoking
Flips his wrists
Doesn't pick it with his fist
Dangling between his lips
Zippo lighter added to the list
Held it between his thumb
Pulled it in from the edge of his mouth
Rings of smoke magical when he blew it out

Dialogue delivered new the way it sounded
Never heard before where every word was modulated
Riveting action film in front of my eyes unfolded
Greatest movie experience ever experienced

Never seen anyone with more style
Nuances added made him stand out by a mile
Entire film screen time by himself
Very difficult unless confidence in self

Definition of a man
Dictionary cannot define
Set the benchmark for generations before and after
Emulating him was the sole objective hereafter

Chain Smokin Binge Drinkin
Hard Swearin Wisecrackin
Self talkin and in times of extreme stress just laughin

International Superstar
Born before my eyes
Forever in the hearts
Magic of Die Hard

Balancing the equation
Villain with a great reputation
Veteran of the stage
In his debut he plays
Hans Gruber
The ruthless killer
Hired hands by the dozen
Each character important

Alan Rickman from London
Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts Vice Chairman
Playing a role of a person with German origin
Greatest villain of all time
Says the viewing audience

Matching in Style and Skill
The picture in my head still
German accent went for the ****
Anyone matching histrionic prowess, till today nil

The entire movie played
Hero and Villain interplay
Only a couple of scenes together
Made them memorable forever

Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman
Greatest on screen combination
Together made the movie a sensation
Yin and Yang provided the wholesome phenomenon

Watched the Magic
A born again film fanatic
Redifined every notion
Of motion picture appreciation

Changed my life
Became my lifestyle
Repeated viewing
Make it more appealing

Best Action movie
Best Action Superstar
Best Villain Star
Tops every list
Deserves every bit
Every frame a lesson
Watch closely and Listen

Unwittingly went in
Came out haloed within
40 Stories of sheer adventure
Admiration only increased 30 years after

Darkness keeps its date
Sunlight completely erased City lights  bright
Nightime security
Street lights stands alone with all its beauty

The vibrations of the night
Does  give you a fright
Night makes you a different man
A lot more time in your hands

Silence of the night
Darkness in sight
Not logical
Street light does it
Making it magical

Moon and his friend
Moon spreading its glow
Street Lights adding to it from below
Perched on a post inherent in its flow

Romancing the night
Its light shining bright
Pavement dwellers delight
Lone traveller paths  highlight

Poor mans best friend
Unable to continue education
Homeless without a roof
Row of lights stand proof
Sharing its soul
Future failure proof

Do their duty
Equanimity their quality
Differentiates nobody
Shines on all equally

Prescense adds beauty
To the roads and the city
Rainy night it adds glory
Presents a picture perfect story

Removes the sorrow
Hope's for a better morrow
Street light stands like the Sphinx
Living under it soon to break your jinx

Death s second try
To ****** Chandra Away
Failed first time
Tried again

Surgery gone wrong
Knocking at deaths door
Beat it with willpower
Legends stay on forever

Corona the demon
Spewing all its venom
His next opponent in this round
Finally captured its crown


Double jeopardy on life
By that logic he cant die
Gave his best to survive
None can have his drive

Champion on the table
Champion in the hearts of the people
Game yet to see a player
Of such high calibre

Your fame is immortal
You are no mere mortal
The game has lost
Legend in his time
The spirit of the game Carries your name

Life is finite
Nothing is certaint
Your presence
We will reminisce

Left us today
Your heart with us always will stay
You were taken away
A loss for the game and the way it is played

There is only one mantra
For every aspiring Table Tennis star
Table Tennis is Chandra
Chandra is Table Tennis

No words accurate
To describe the death rate
Human lives at stake
Even breathing a grave mistake

Quarantine the patient
14 day isolation
Only available Solution
Even if jab taken

Rules dont apply
To Doctors on duty
They too have a family
For them now secondary


The Nurses on call
Give it their all
Service to humanity
Epitome of sanctity

Frontline worker
Knocking on deaths door
Care their very core
Clarity in every pore

Nameless and faceless
Sacrifice their bonafide
Price of their servitude
Mankind not big enough to measure its magnitude

Worship and Celebrate
Their quality innate
Put themselves behind all
To treat a Pandemic on front of all

Work done by them
Expecting nothing in return
Environment of calamity
Doing their calling calmly

Immortal status achieved
For only one reason
Future generations must know of their contribution
By Example they showed
Stopping death at its door

Spouse and children
Of no relevance
Safety of fellow humans
Engulfs their hearts and minds

Fear and uncertainty
Existing universally
Balancing it wonderfully
Rest living peacefully

Bow our heads
Heart soul and rest
Words or actions
Cannot define our indebtedness


The study of theology
Questions solved permanently
Fictional or reality
He bows his head willingly
In you he sees Divinity

All of us are kin
Color of the skin
First differences begin
Cancerous not benign


Nature of the act
Decides on the fact
Right and Wrong
Deeply entrenched and strong


Wrongful to society
Words of variety
Prefix added to amplify
Deeds done by everybody

Black market Black Mail
Black Day Blacklist
Prefix decides the fate
Any other other color  meaning wouldn't change


Country ' s policy
Color decides authority
Countries of prejudice
Have no sense of justice


Skin color
Nothing inferior
Judging based on color
Man made blunder


Ownership of another man
Price paid for possession of human
Slave trading an act of crime
Prevelant for a long time

Wars fought to establish
Skin color not to distinguish
Nobel won for trying to abolish
Humanity since stands embellished

White and Black
Not each others opposites
At harmony with each other
Together make a whole

Black and White signifies
Anything plain and simple
Used as an adage
Sends the wrong message

What do you do
When there's nothing to do
Ask yourself the question
Is it because of you

It always is
True to yourself
Interrogate the self
It reveals itself

Next on the tick box
Choices as answers
You know the answer
You still need s choice to make you ponder

Are you alone
Are you lonely
Alone and lonely
Alone not lonely
None of the above

Data Analysis question
All seem alike
Know it at the source
Or you are playing the wrong course

Unlike during the test
Time unlimited
Test to prove to the outside
This has everything to do on the inside

Option available need not be the answer
That option is there in the question
Tick the last box
Then this whole enquiry needless

If answer in the paper
An honest truth seeker
Answer will present itself
You just have to be present

Alone a Philosophers abode
Lonely a humans inferior quality
Alone not lonely a Saints pedestal
Alone and lonely have a lot of work to do on yourself

Is it just a feeling
Or reality presenting for you to see
Dream like Mirage can mislead
Playing for the wrong side in the field

Enquiry answers the query
A one man jury sees things in totality
Purity the quality the jurors inquiry
Judgement delivered with equanimity and honesty

Playing this game compulsory
For spiritual advancement answers necessary
Question and Answer everything secondary
Actualizing yourself and not the your image is Primary

Actualized once the question ceases
Along with it the choices
Judge and jury are the same the mind realizes
Knowledge of this after the search started
Start and end the same when realized you are a Zen Master

Lack of emotional content
Is the very root of sadness
Loneliness the biggest cause
Nobody there to share your sorrow and Joys

Anger is the tool
Mind puts to full use
Stays on forever
Fooling us into believing
That we are angry with the other

There is no other
Anger is self inflicted pain
Blinding us for all there is to gain
Anger inflicted wounds forever remain

Anger a suicide mission
Drinking poison hoping for others detriment
Even while manifesting outside
It ends up hurting our inside

Content realizes the
Spiritual power within
Awareness its first lesson
Living in the moment in fusion

Feeling the emotions
Keeps you within
It remains one
Peace prevails

Anger remains within
Moves you away
Makes you alone
Rest of the life atone

Living in the moment
Caused by awareness
Awakens inner power
Anger and Sadness cannot enter

Cut it at its source
Before anger takes its course
To find out the source
Dont think but feel

Walk on from temper
Sadness its neighbor
Splits our nature
Transcend the only answer

American Dream
Sequential in nature
Remained forever
Time of the day
Did not matter

Procedure to go
Learnt from those who went before
At the gates of the consulate
Always on time never late


4 years of graduation
A requirement for higher education
Had only three
Was in a hurry

Emulating without example
Course of study not ready
Reason to go a comedy
Reality break there's no remedy

Evidenced many
Following the dream
Never occurred consciously
Not doing the same


Lifestyle influenced by Hollywood
Fanatical about Western Rock Groups
Influenced my decision
Pursue an education

Analytical ability nil
Already proven by my
Decision making skill
Passionste about
Movies and music
Logical next step is not education

Pushing ******* the procedure
Will make me easily enter
Nothing else does matter
Except get the papers in order

Two tests to be taken
Schools base their decision
Regarding your admittance
Self evident levels of competence

Aware it was for compulsory
Purchased guides to do what's necessary
Could not progress beyond a point
Never occurred that's the whole point

Application process
Step by step reduces
Qualification prowess
Into the University campus

Marking process unaware
Out of 800 only aware
Percentile a new term
My standing it confirmed

Yet to get a grasp
Still harbored thoughts
Any university that admits
Has deemed me fit

Money no taught
Spending it all for naught
Not a flinch to part
For I earned it not

Dollars spent in Rupees
All for realizing my dreams
Dreaming healthy
Hallucinating misery

College without reputation
Granted conditional admission
Should have brought clarity to the situation
Interpreted it backwards thought it was a ratification

Went for my Visa
Addressed a lady as Sir
My nervousness now clear
Presented their questionnaire

Graduation percentage
Admission tests Percentile
Not even a second to decide
Thrown in the dustbin aside

Winning combination
Do not change
Loosing Combination
Followed the same


Procedure followed
As was told
Nearing the gates
Only to be closed in my face


Same events repeated
Nothing to be surprised
Many times rejected
Dream now realized

Completes the theme
Pages to remember
Delivered proper
Audience understanding clear
One step near of becoming an Actor

Lessons at workshops
Drama schools and universities
Intern at Playhouses
Understudy for the Leads
Years in the wings
Waiting for the doors to open
In real time life ticks on
Food for the family
Purely on the ability
To do work of quality
In regularity
The probability
Known only by the Almighty

How the camera captures
Not in the hands of the actors
Cameras own decision making process
It disowns the player
then no use of acting prowess
One more layer
For a successful acting career

Self Realisation
Easier in comparison
Success in the show business
Holy grail with Christs grace
Easier to trace
Than the name and fame that begets an Actors face

I achieved overnight
Superstardom
After 30 years of struggle
To become an actor

Oxymoron used frequently
Two words juxtaposing
Containing the opposite meaning
Etymology derived from Greek
Oxus and Moros
Sharp and stupid
Also an oxymoron

Commonly usage is unintentional
Appears paradoxical
Which Is a logical contradiction
A puzzle
Something to think on
Oxymoron is a figure of speech doesn't linger but gone

Used on people
To describe their characteristic
Cannot be used to describe a person
As it does not make sense

Used in quotes
Purpose to reflect
On purpose
As in not to neglect

Used in Advanced Science
Innovations with names that in English does not make sense
Virtual Reality
Is it a fallacy or advanced technology
Thin line to draw
Explanation difficult notoriously

Used in quotes
By great men like
Mark Twain.
Genius like Wodehouse
Visionary like Henry Ford
Mockingly by Bing Crosby
To Add Drama by Yogi Berra
Flavour to speech like Churchill
Unintended by Movie Moghuls

Lacking in knowledge critics will say
Percieved Comically
Some make you laugh hysterically
Adds fun to life
Usage An entertainment
No harm done

Act Naturally
Small Crowd
Clearly confused
Amazingly Awful
Only Choice
Farewell Reception
Commonly used
Not to get confused
Depends how much exposed
You are
To understand the context
In which it Is told

Tried my best
Leave the rest
To accept or not accept
To the person
At whose behest
I wrote this on request

Does this make me
A Smart idiot
Or a Stupid genius
For I shall be the happiest man alive
Even if I could drop dead
To get the approval
Even if it is negative
For everything is absolutely relative

Samurai warrior
Met a Zen master
The gates of heaven and hell
The path I need to know please tell
A warrior but look a beggar
Said the teacher with laughter
Angry the Samurai removed
The sword from its sheath
Master replied Removal was the gates of hell
Realizing was the gates of Heaven

Banks of a river
A boy asked a Master
Standing on the opposite bank
The other side how do I land
Kindly lend me a hand
You are already on the other side
Be aware before you decide

Kings asks his teacher
Enlightened Master
What happens to a realized soul
Who's time has come to part this world
I don't know replied the monk
Realised you are hence I asked
Realised I dont know dead defenitely not the master said

Learned man in quest
Met a Master with a request
Realization and Delusion
Games played by the mind
Giving and Recieving are figments of our thinking
Truth is Emptiness and Nothingness
Master listened with interest
Took out a Bamboo stick
Struck hard with intent
Man got up with rage
Calmly replied the stage
If nothing is the source
When met with force
From where did spring your anger and remorse

A great master
Teaching his disciples
Jealous of his fame
From afar a man came
Challenged him to a debate
Started off with haste
The Buddha's power
Could stand with a brush
On one side of the river
On the other bank the paper
He could still paint a picture
What is your power ?
Master quipped the only power I possess
I drink when I'm thirsty
I eat when I'm hungry

Keen on acquiring the skills
To be a great Martial Artist
A student asked the teacher
How long will it take to completely master
Ten years was the answer
Written on a paper
I want it earlier
I'm willing work harder
Now what's your answer
20 years he wrote on the paper

Flag fluttering in the blowing wind
2 observing men questioned
Wind is moving said one Its the Flag said the other
Walked by a Zen Master
Neither are moving and it doesn't matter
It's your mind that's moving causing the flutter

A pupil and his master
Walking along the banks of a river
The master observed the fish in the water
Complimented on their happy nature
You're no fish to know the reality
You are not me
To know that I don't know
Replied the master

Only possession a horse
Galloped one day away and far
Bad luck said the townsfolk
Maybe answered this gentle soul

Horse came back
Three more in tow
Now you have four
Nothing more to fear for
Said the townsfolk
Maybe replied this gentle soul

Son tried his hand
Horse riding a life long fan
Broke his leg after a fall
Didn't have the the wherewithal
Sorry about your sons fate
Old enough not to play games
Townsfolk gathered
Time not right said it with might
Maybe replied this gently

War is announced
Army marches unannounced
As many to fight the enemy
Recruiting able boys
Townspeople had no choice
Broken leg declared unfit boy escapes draft
Lucky you said the folks
Maybe replied the farmer gently

Pupil and master
Cross a river
Woman drowning finding it hard to recover
Master Carries her on his shoulder
Leaves her on the banks of the river
Walking into the forests
The pupil protests
Touching a woman out of order
I left her at the other side of the river
Why are you still carrying her
Said the master

Students at a monastery
Unable to gain mastery
Teachers methods unsatisfactory
Questioned his ability
Life in 2 words asks the senior
Everything changes replied the Master

King visits a Master
Teach me the art of Zen
Issues an order
Hours later
King in rage
Not a word did the monk utter
Teacher left his chair
King said this is unfair
Been here a day
You had not a word to say
You came here to learn zen
Unfortunately you didn't pay attention

Crossing finish line
Life at its end
Thought at that time
Where do I begin

His life and his safety
Or my insecurity
Sad about his state
Or with reference to me

Money in future
Matter to ponder
Him not in the scene
How will I fulfill my dreams

Love for him
Or need for him
Miss him period
Or miss him for a period

Replaced my father
All duties in order
My mother silent Spectator
Did his due more than required

Got me into school
College and a job to do
Helped my enterprise
Sharing his office space

Grateful forever
Such an elder brother
Never seen another
Made him my lifes  special  feature


Many aspects of life
Made it his quest
To see me fulfilled
Happy and tranquil

Did so from birth
Till date no dearth
Expectations fulfilled
For nothing I did

Put him on a pedestal
He was my role model
Emulating him my goal
From the bottom of my soul

Across the dark side
Is making me sweat
Missing him from the heart
I'm unable to tell apart
Left stranded on this side
Scared rest of my life

Selfishness aside
Everything brush aside
His presence a better bargain
Abscence all will go in vain

Commercial or Emotional
Beneficial or detrimental
Safe or Sorry
Reality or Worry

Differences many
Regarded him as a bully
Took me to the cleaners
Everytime I made a blunder

Uncensored words
Treating me like a ****
Questioned my emotions
Lack of genuineness

Put me down
Not worth a dime
Ambitions down the pipeline
Being born a crime

Every behavior mocked
Opposed and joked
Gestures ridiculed
Just to prove that he could

Cause of misery
Education and wedlock
Second fiddle to spouse
Not a good quality to espouse

Directly affected
By his wife and her methods
Joined the brigade
My faults to parade

Like him or dislike him
Always the split
Severe internal struggle
Pendulum in the middle

Weigh the both
Traders we are not
Value to emotion
Not a human notion

Fight for his stature
When insulted for his nature
Act mature or immature
Never know even in the future

Entire gamut covered
The good the bad and the ugly
Weighing machine cannot weigh
Had only 2 to sway

He lies in the hospital
My feeling not clear
His life I hold dear
Do I hold him near ?

50 years life led
Straight and complex
Feelings mixed
Or am I fooling  myself???

Worshipped him
Feared him
Hated him
Fought him
Ignored him
Forgave him

Violence inherent
Quality of Silence
Tests Endurance
Of real Emotions

Causes interpretations
Never stands evidence
Delivered judgements
Polarized due to providence

Present in Abscence
Abscence in Presence
Logical even in Paradox
Healing and Toxic unorthodox

Silence of the mind
Lifetime of blessing
Imposed on words
Disguised and ambiguous


Real and fake
What one makes
Often misunderstood
What the other takes

Ignore and respect
Silence at ones behest
Both roles perfect
Functional Duality
Questions our Morality
Interpretations infinity

First word learnt
At home and class
Reaches target
Perspective forget

Brings with it Quiet
Along with self respect
Double edged sword
Cuts without a word

Blows the ear
Loud and clear
Silence with it words
Unspoken but heard

Sounds and Words
Spoken and heard
Fights with Silence
Looses patience

Silence brings Silence
Sounds noises as pillions
For it to bring meaning
Add an honest emotion

Equality its quality
Time gives us sanity
Straddling as friend and enemy
Brings in its duality

Real or a concept
Know or transcend
Philosophers have the answer
Only it seems to matter

Fills many life's
Empties the rest
Static for some
Memories for most

Sets standards
Punchality its first
Defines humans
Communicates to Animals

Timely describes right
Untimely the wrong
Timing explores both
Time simply the watch

Good and Bad time
Essence of life
Time up
Essence of its end

Time doesnt end
It stops its  existence
Only With reference
Plays its role to perfection

Time used as a balm
Non believer in God
Atheists and Rationalists
Non believer in time
Not existant  as its backed by science

Hope and faith
Subdidaries of time
Signifying a change
Not specifying a frame

Time unable to replace
Time replaces time
Existing in every tick
Seconds needle brings with it

Is it good or bad
Brings in routine
Free or busy
Time the answer
Delivers correctly

Time up
End time
Time not ending
End of the line

Timeless in time
Immortality signified
Very few managed
To live after time

Greatest quality
Medicinal beauty
Heals the heart
Thank you to the Clock

Yearning to grow up
Emulating the elders
Dominating out thoughts
Future security sought

Concept of sharing
Under the sun everything
Developing the spirit
For you to learn it

Future arrived
Miss the past
God gave you all
Grateful that we have memories to fall

Men worked hard
Women sacrificed for what
Your life in their heart
No one set apart

Newspaper and Washroom
All in one bedroom
Emotional connect
Most important in life

Didn't realise it then
One in a million
A chance to grow
In that household
Where oneness was the foundation
Happiness the highest education

Seeking outside
Biggest mistake
For some to make
What's given no choice but to take

Family the essence
Filled with everyone's presence
Taking into account preference
Satisfying every member
Each act a penance

South  west bound
Driving through the backroads
Blemishes skill
Holding the steering

Alternating

Alike in thought

Mothers greater buddies
From the same family
Thanks to the Grannies
Siblings to each

Pedal to the metal
Ripping through the South
No one on your trail
Just got a mission at stake

Forget the brakes
Push the pedal
Keep the diesel flowing
Put that  foot down and give it a go

Rubbers burning
Gears changing

Scrape the ground

Rotate the shaft
Increase the torque
Roads at a fork
Taxi down to a fault

Racers not ricers
Taxiing on the highway
Jetting past the speedway
No one in the way
Sound of the engine
Boeing in take off position

Enjoyed the ride
Driving skill a matter of pride
Driving and Navigation
An art worth celebration

Remains moment after moment

Read in books
Heard in lectures
Nothing outside
Everything inside

Fear a lifestyle
Decisions and Actions
Fear filled mind
Faculty denied

Incidents and persons
Cause for confusion
Blaming the outside
Futile lay it wayside

Genesis and basis
Go deep to explore
Cause of Anxiety
With you for posterity

Reason for neurosis
Every day a crisis
Living life by conducting
Rehearsal for dying

Not one but many
Events and humans
Daily resonance
Woven into your 6th sense

Living in a bubble
Pleasing the other
Who not so subtle
While returning the favor


Fake it and make it
Sound way to do it
Aping the brave
Foundation laid

Feeling the fear
Gets you near
Where lies the real answer
Is it going to take a lifetime
To figure ?

Another of Whiskey
Combination deadly
Weak or mighty
Takes you on a dizzy

Drink of the century
Called Ginskey

Opening the minds vault
Add some 70 s rock

Lustrate the Spirit
Pay paradise a visit
Mind on it's own tour
Cleanse your Soul

Take your Swigs
Match it to the Rhythm beats
The Band is on
Waltz along with its song

Sense of time
A matter of time
Time erases time
For a period of time

Only time is the time
Pink Floyd wrote this time
Dark side of the Moon
Creating it's own universe
Magic of its music and verse

Recreating the cocktail
Inside your head playing wonders
Outside hands doing it by the numbers
Body mind coordinated
Only gin and whiskey concentrated

Orchestrated music
Blowing of the record
Grateful Dead again and again
Miracle for ticket denied
Board hanging around the neck
Miracle not when the Dead are hot

Quaffing the dual
Whiskey and gin
Engaged in a duel
Energy and fuel
Seeing things multiple

Hearing sounds
Clearing doubts
Happens on it's own
Heart and Music glued
To the magic of  The Doors Roadhouse blues

From the Bottle
Making it simple
Running wild
Feeling connected with thinking

On the background of

Focussed orientation
Clapton  Cream  tear the air's
Disraeli Gears plays say goodbye  to despair

Katzenjammer awaiting the arrival
Amethyst not rivaled
on the Greeks prevailed
Forever in this trip
No need for a catalyst
To counter music and the bottle
Magic results caused by magic
On a bus of Magic
The Who playing
Its last tune

Woven into a lullaby
Back after reaching the skies
Eyes stop to wander
Implosive musical wonder
Experience Nuclear
Which ever way the word
You want to decipher

Good night
Old cowboy
Saddled against the wind
All along life
Saddle with the wind
Music Gin Whiskey
Providing company
Till life and its key
Cant restart the ticking

A subject that
Sent shivers down the spine
Not sure for others
But definitely mine

Tuition classes attended
Only goal intended
Extra hours in the table
Would make me able

Fabian Sebastian
A mathematician
Teacher by profession
Friendly disposition


Early morning
Started with the training
Sun on the Horizon
Subject mind bending


Step by step
Those days used to the best
Periodically weekly test
Taken with the zest

Classes higher
Subject tougher
Logical and Complex
Oxymoron in nature

Endless wait
Subject never ending phase
Cannot runaway from yourself
Same rule applied to Math

Addition and Subtraction
Problem till age seven
Multiplication and Division
Added to the problem

Numerator and Denominator
Only made it tougher
Profit and loss
Always at a loss

Theorem and Ryder
Too much to remember
Missed it in Class 5
Never catch up in life

Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry
Together in class 10
Complexities in it lay
Nightmare during the day

Weight of Math
Balances the other 9
Halfway through the well
Academic year living hell

Matrix and indices
Reconciling process
Analytical ability not for us
Looking for a chance
To jump off the bus

Already feeling inferior
Only brought laughter
Half the class aiming to master
Their only aim
Centum on this paper

Math like Karma
Finds your address
One of its arsenal
Manifests as an original

Survival to excellence
Math the very essence
Lacking in application
Devotion to the savior
Hopefully gets you ashore
