CHAMELEON

Change colours people, even more often than a chameleon would ;

Thought the chameleon, many times I wonder, how easily a human, ever do that could

Infact the chameleon itself wondered, how come these guys are faster n better;

A passer-by somehow the chameleon's thoughts guessed; n told it, "a man is a go-getter"

"Aww.... may be, may be", said the chameleon, "but humans shouldn't so selfish be"

Said the man, "do this you, to yourself save, from your enemy; so that it cannot, you see;"

"But a man, knowingly immediately colour changes to suit his selfish motives n needs"

"Infact many times an innocent human he entangles, blames, or even outright, him weeds"

"Never must you mess with a human, because guess you cannot what goes on, in his head"

Most scheming he is; and can easily, an innocent one harm; if wishes he, in a moment, you will be dead".

With a sigh of relief, said the chameleon, "people sometimes, a blood-sucker call me;"

"But bro, as you truly say, now onwards, of a human, I too very careful will now have to be".

Vada-Paav, in Aamchi Mumbai, or Maharashtra entire, is definitely the most popular inexpensive dish.

But according to the circumstances that prevail here at  Bombay, been it should have Bhel-puri, I do wish.

There are Maharashtrians, Gujjus, South Indians, Sikhs, Bongs etc. and us Parsis, though very miniscule  

Similarly Bhel has sev, mamra, chevda, puris, onions, potatoes, coriander, chillies, chutneys, you can add more, there is no rule

Just like the ingredients of Bhel, the population mingles, mixes, blends, whatever you can call it,  to be called Bombayites

But but but!!! wait and watch, when they board a suburban local train, just watch their many big & small fights.

To see the Bhel Puri, in this city cosmopolitan, encounter you have to the fisher folk, giving "shivya, our popular Maushi baai"

In our Bhel-Puri population, there are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, Parsis; but in Bombay they are lovingly addressed, Bhau n Taai.

Hope you liked my BHEL-PURI, please do taste and comment.

A FEW MINUTES OF INSANITY

Sometimes, just a moment or two of insanity request You I, to grant me, O my kind Lord.

Sorry about this request, but I am asking you this dreadful thing, like a patient, on my own accord

When the pain searing n unbearable becomes, to forget things, this moment I need

Blank may become my mind, devoid of all turmoils, thoughts n pain, please concede.

Help me to undergo thru' these painful torturing times, I sincerely request.

How do so many others go through this period, quite normally, will always be my quest !

Lord, grant me daily, some peaceful sleep; like a Mother's loving lap, for moments few, Yours give me.

I think I am going insane, so, O my Lord dear, do what's best for me; that which I can't really see.

માડી ઓ મારી મીઠી માડી

હવે તો બસ બધું ભૂલીને, સુઈ જવું છે મને તારે ખોળે, મારી મીઠી માડી

આં બેકદર દુનિયામાં હારીને, થાકીને, થઈ ગઈ છું હું તો સાવ ગાંડી.

આં દુનિયા છે નિર્દયી, તારો ખોળો હૂંફાળો અને સુંવાળો; સુઈ જવા દે હવે મને માડી

ભૂલી જવી છે એ રાત ભયાનક અને બિહામણી, કાળી

ભૂલી જવું છે દુઃખ બધું, ભૂલી જવા છે ઝખ્મો બધા, જે આપે છે, પીડા ભારી

તું, બસ તું અને તું જ, હવે કરી શકશે દૂર, આં અસહય પીડા મારી

It's a lie, or you are cheating yourself, if you say, "you don't have time "

If you don't take out a few minutes for your near n dear ones,  it's a crime.

Remember this well,  if you truly love, respect and for someone care ;

However busy, a few minutes with them, you will willingly n happily share.

SHOW YOUR LOVE N CARE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

हर कोई वक्त के आधीन

हर कोई, इंसान हो या पंखी-प्राणी, सब है वक्त की चलती सुइयोंके आधीन

किसीने कहा, "पर तु, चिंता मत कर, वक्त होता नहीं एक समान, बदलेगा वो ज़रूर, एक दिन"

पर वक्त होता है बहुत शक्तिशाली, पल भर में कर जाता है सब छीन भिन्

छीन गया मेरा जीवन साथी, "अब सीख रही हु जीना अकेला मैं, तुझ बिन"

वक्त तो ज़रूर बदलेगा, पर लाएगा नही वो मेरे लिए, मेरा वो बिछड़ा हुआ मीत;

वो वर्ष, वो घड़ी अब गयी है बदल, सुने है साज़, सुने पड गए मेरे गीत

सुना था, वक्त बिछड़ोको मिलाता है, लेकिन वो ला न सकेगा मेरा बिछड़ा हुआ मीत

जो गुज़र जाता है, वो आता नही; स्वीकारनी पड़ेगी मुझे भी संसारकी यह रीत

मौत एक ऐसी स्थिति है, जिसके सामने, वक्त भी जाता है बुरी तरह से हार

रात के बाद यहाँ दिन नहीं आता, बदल जाते हैं लोक, बदल जाते है हालात, पूरा संसार।

यूह तो सूरज रोज़ निकलेगा, सवेरा भी रोज़ होगा, पर नज़र मेरी, ढूंढती रहेगी उसे, आर पार

क्यों कि जो चला गया, वो लौटेगा कभी नहीं, लाख कर लूँ मैं उसका इंतजार
