MY FLIGHT OF IMAGINATION

Imagine how wonderful this world would be, without any terror n fright

If people travel could freely, without visa; just hop on to any flight

With my very own wings to fly, reach I could those Himalayan heights

If hungry, reach an orchard I would, filled with fruits, for a meal nourishing yet light

Spend I would summers in Switzerland or Kashmir, under soft sunlight

Winters in the warm waters of Mauritius or Maldives, would be comfy; n a lovely sight

But with covid all over, all around,  my dreams could crash, sad would be my plight

Hopefully, the situation soon changes, n things soon turn bright

देश के वीरोंको अनार का सलाम

देखता कहाँ है तू , के
तू है हिन्दू , सिख, पारसी, ईसाई या मुसलमान

हर हाल में, तू है बस एक हिंदुस्तानी, और वतन तेरा है, हिंदुस्तान

रखता है तू, तेरी जान पे खेलके, तिरंगा का मान सनमान, उसकी शान

ऐ वीर, देश को हैं तुझपे नाज़, तू ही है हमारे देश की आन बान शान

जब हस कर होता है तू देशके लिए शहीद; सलाम करता है तुझको सारा हिंदुस्तान

मिटाके अपने आप को, हो जाता है तू अमर, तब गाता है वतन तेरे गुणगान

प्यारे देशवासियो, इन देशप्रेमियो के लिए चलो हमभी इकठ्ठा करे कुछ दान

कर्तव्य है हमारा भी कुछ, उनके कुटुंब के लिए, जिनके बेटे हो जाते हैं हस्ते हस्ते कुर्बान

गर हर हिंदुस्तानी करे दस रुपियों का दान, और अमीरो करे ज्यादा दान

तो व्यर्थ होगा हर शाहीदके कुटुंब का, देश के लिए दिया हुआ बलिदान ।

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY

May our beloved Tiranga, our Indian National flag, always, for ever fly very very high;

Higher than the great Himalayan heights, in independent India's, wide open sky

Accept my salute, my respect, as you, our revered Tiranga, rise into an azure blue sky, to fly.

Our soldiers with their blood protect you at the cost of their life; no one can you, ever buy

A soldier's brave parents, wife, siblings, children soberly accept n don't even openly cry;

When our brave hearts sacrifice themselves; when for Bharat Mata, our shaheeds die.

Wrapped they come stately in this Tiranga grand, as they quietly in their coffins lie

We owe a lot to this Tiranga; on this Republic Day let's pray forever the Tiranga flies high

JAI HIND, JAI HIND KI SENA.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETAJI

Lucky was India to have great leaders, when she was for her independence struggling

It was an era when Her worthy sons, for their Mother, their Bharat Mata were struggling hard

Encouraged many youth Subhash did; requesting them, to join him in the movement

Asked them he to sacrifice their all, to attain this much needed independence

Let's learn this dedication from Netaji n pray Bharat Mata is blessed with many more such worthy sons.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETAJI

For OUR SELVES N OUR CHILDREN......

Closer to Nature we must try and live, in a concrete jungle, a corner green build

As huge trees chopped off are, my heart in pain reels

There is so much plastic all around us, can we make OUR BOMBAY N COUNTRY MORE BEAUTIFUL N GREENER

Making holes at the base of plastic containers n bottles, let us grow small plants, put them on our balconies, on staircases n request our young ones to them water.

Bamboo, Money plants grow in water, just change the water every week.

Waste water from Aqua guard R/O can be used this way.

Please involve our children n grandchildren, so that they  come close to Nature and enjoy a sense of pride when they see a life taking shape

Please try and help God, by helping Nature.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWAMIJI

Years ago, together a young enlightened yogi and Jamshedji Tata, a new India shaped, whilst on board a ship

On a voyage in 1893, on the Empress, shaped was the destiny of Bharat Mata; it was an important flip.

Trying I am, to this narrate this extraordinary event in words simple, without pictures any, or a video clip

Together both these patriots, these all time greats, these true sons of our soil, had a discussion deep

His lecture at Chicago, changed the way foreigners thought about our Country; a sense of pride, in us he instilled in heaps

In a short span of 39 years, imparted he so much knowledge, to narrate it is a task impossible; but for this loss India weeps.

I FEEL SO VERY LUCKY TO SHARE YOUR BIRTHDAY.
MAY YOU FROM HEAVEN BLESS OUR COUNTRY N THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH YOUR WISDOM DIVINE.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Live you may, anywhere, in any part of the world, but home is always, where your heart is.

It is where you have ties, sentiments attached; where your stress you can release

It's definitely that place, where your heart, mind and body are relaxed n at ease.

Not necessarily a place posh, overflowing with wealth, it's where you can your tensions release

Where music of your choice, you can hear, or just read whatever you please

We all need materialistic comforts, gadgets too; certainly buy you may these;

But that little comfy place, where your heart yearns to be; actually your home is.

If with me you agree about this, let me know your views please.
