Happy Ganesh Chaturthi

Here is wishing all of you, my dear friends....

દુનિયા આખી, દુખોથી ગઈ છે ઘેરાઈ, આવો ઓ વિઘ્નહર્તા આવો

સર્વનો ત્રાસ દૂર કરવા વિનંતી કરીયે, આવો શિવ-પાર્વતીના સંતાન આવો

દુખીઓના આંસુ લુસવા આવ્યા વિઘ્નહર્તા, આવ્યા ગણપતિ બાપ્પા આવ્યા

મોદક ભાવે, લાડવા ભાવે; જલ્દી આરતી ઉતારો, બાપ્પા આવ્યા, બાપ્પા આવ્યા !

હાર-તોરણ લાવો, સાજ- શીંગાર કરો, રે લોકો બધાં મળી... મંગલ ગીત ગાવો

આરતી ઉતારો, મોદક, લાડવા પેંડા વેહચો બધાંને પ્રસાદ તરીકે, બાપ્પાને વધાવો

જોજો લોકો, બાપ્પા હોય માટીના, અથવા માવા કે ચોકલેટના; સાચવજો નદીના નીર

જીવન છે મુશ્કેલીઓથી ઘેરાયેલું, ઓ સુખકર્તા- દુઃખહર્તા, આવીને દૂર કરજો લોકોની પીડ.

THE VICTIM

They ***** her, destroying her physically, mentally; and her spirit n soul severely crushed n injured;

Injured it permanently, tattered and battered it, with their action cruel; these monsters most weird.

As a mother protects her daughters; she should also her sons to respect every woman teach

Men decent, never ill treat a woman, be she young or old, feeble or strong; they will never let her screech.

A **** is the worst crime against a woman, something unpardonable, a sin extremely grave

Severely, with an iron hand punished should be those men, who, for these inhuman ways crave

Lord, O my kind Lord,  protect every single woman; be she a child or an adult, against a ****

Whatever be the reason, no man should, without a woman's willingness, her undrape.

The last we held hands and cried together, was a year ago (tomorrow)

I don't show it openly, but I am still drowned in this sorrow

Your words in my ears constantly ring, "I  don't want to die, I want to live for you "

I  told you to fight it (death); but I guess, death overpowered you.

Dearest, stay blessed in Heaven;  and may you, to realms higher rise

From there, guide us please and constantly give us your advise.

No one knows when reunions take place; no one knows that date;

But, I hope it is soon time for me to join all of you, I eagerly that day await.

PROMISE OURSELVES, LET US TODAY

Freedom at midnight we received, not in the Asian way, when the morning Sun rose,

Then came the Jammu & Kashmir war n d partition civil war; soon began our days of woe.

The Brits squeezed our mental, emotional n physical wealth; they destroyed our professional skill

To bring about our decline, the Gurukul system abolished was; slowly but firmly destroyed, much against our will

If lessons sufficient we have learned from our past, let's unite n like the Phoenix, once again rise

Not crumble n divide because of ***** politicis; let's be judicious, broad minded n wise

Nationalists n Industrialists like Tatas support India; let us them patronise, with all our heart

Let us, as far as possible; of this important mission, "BE INDIAN BUY INDIAN" be a part.

ON THE EVE OF OUR 75TH INDEPENDENCE DAY

As India celebrates Her 75TH year of INDEPENDENCE; I wish my respected Motherland all the very best

May She rise n shine; like a river, meander finding a path n with flying colours, pass every test.

May all Her children, come together and unitedly live n prosper, in a cosy  cushy nest.

May years of Independence n prosperity be ours. May everyday be a fest.

My Mithra

Value your own words, do not make promises, you cannot keep

Hold your own word's respect, or think people will, you are cheap

Every word you use; use it carefully, pause a sec, n think a deep

Why pride take, in abusing? This way, Negativity within us will seep.

From today let's think n good speak; let's take this important leap.
