If rich, you may buy a huge properly,  an island or a mall;

Or a grave illness, perhaps try to stall;

But a smile on a sad face you can't install

LOVE

Loved You I should have, as much as I loved him, perhaps,  even much more;

But we humans have attraction more for things physical, so wrong went my ratio, my score.

Physical attraction won over the abstract one; thus, sadly, the crust won over the core.

With him away, now, my mistake realise I; my love should have been skyward,  not at the level of the floor.

Sorry I am, to transgress; for me to closer come to You, please, O please now open the door.

AWAIT I, FOR YOU TO ENVELOPE ME IN YOUR WARM LIGHT; UPON ME, PLEASE YOUR LOVE POUR.

शुभ दीपावली

इस दिवाली पर,  जब दीप जलाये,  तब दिल का दीप भी अवश्य जलाना;

याद रखके, कोई एक या दो भूखे बुजुर्गो को दो चार रोटी जरूर खिलाना ;

एक या दो बच्चों को, एक जलेबी, लड्डू या पेड़ा जरूर खिलाना

अपने बुजुर्ग मात पिता के चरण स्पर्श कीजिएगा, अपने हाथों से, कोई मिष्ठान खिलाना

दिवाली अपने आप शुभ हो जाएंगी; इस तरह, आप अपनी खुशिया मुफ्त में घर लाना I

अनार की शुभ कामनाएँ स्वीकार कीजिएगा I

BIRTHDAY CANDLES


LET'S NOT BLOW OUT BIRTHDAY CANDLES, even though it's a tradition, pretty old.

All Aryans, fire respect and it consider holy, worthy of reverence; since ages, this we are told

Also, not because it is merely a western ritual; but unhygienic it is very; especially if one has covid or cold.

I  too have done it for years as a child, but since last few years, I  have this decision taken bold.

Just Besides the cake, light a candle;  make your birthday wish; eyes please close n your hands do fold

God most willingly will grant it unto you; because it is to Him, you have, this secretly told.

Amen/ Aedoon Baad/ Tathastu

DEEP DESIRES

Deeply desire I, a surrounding, clean, very green n serene, with scented n colourful flowers, I mean

Imagine roads n railway lines on both sides,  loaded with fruit n flower trees! That's a deeply desired scene !

In the name of development, moving away we are from nature; only concrete jungles all around are seen

Climatic changes n water shortages result, sea levels are dangerously rising, and few to safaris have ever been.

Oxygen levels reducing are; poisonous gases our children harm; need they, an environment clean.

Rain harvesting, if done n artificial lakes created are for our generation future; to them a lot it will mean.

If cotton n jute grown n used is; n reduction in the use of plastics n wood promoted, eco-changes will be seen.

Lord, please o please fulfil this deep burning desire of mine; since long burning deep down my heart it has been.

MOTHERS

Mothers are divine, that's why it is perhaps said, " A mother is a mother, like her, there isn't another"

Of course, Ahura's blessings also come in the form of wonderful fathers, sisters n brothers.

Mum, thanks a million for leaving your spiritual duties n coming down for me, from up above

Ma, I have words sufficient not; for your protection in forming for me, that envelope of love

That loved n secured feeling that I get, that wonderful, comforting, reassuring feeling you give.

May be it's this bond, that's there, right from the time, me, your little baby you did conceive.

Thank you, darling Ma, for requesting Ahura n even leaving aside your heavenly duties for your lil girl.

I am indeed so very thankful for this envelope of love, where, in your arms, I can, so very comfortably curl.

Your  Anar

MEMORIES MAD BUT "MITHHI"

The clock constantly, nonstop, ticks. Sometimes, it even beautifully chimes

It is those which you treasure, cherish, savour; it is indeed those past precious times !

Memories loving, naughty, full of fun, some very cute little trinkets, costing just a few dimes

The food tasty, yummy,  that your mum very lovingly made; its taste you savour lifelong

Those ****** limericks n rhymes you created, still stay with you; so also, your mum's favourite song.

That laughter crazy, those expressions insane, all the silly jokes hang on, until that last gong.

A MERE MORTAL

So ordinary,  just a miniscule little creature created I am, by the  greatest of all, all-powerful  Ahura

A spec of dust or a grain of sand,  or perhaps a drop of water, in this universe,  created by mighty Mazda

Wish I to know why, then, we men ordinary,  mere mortals, think so much, n so high about ourselves?

Why do even scholars great, learned men like Ravan fail? How do we correct or control ourselves ?

Why do we have an ego so inflated, when we are, just a bubble? Why in this mere mortal does ego dwell ?

Like a flooded, destructive river or sometimes even like a huge mighty tsunami wave, it does swell

O kind  Lord, help this mere mortal, to this ego problem understand; where stands this thin line between ego n self respect?

Confused, entangled into my own web I get; a mere mortal, my own decision,  I  sometimes suspect.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

SMILE PLEASE, DON'T SMIRK

Whenever you do, always flash a radiant smile;

let it be from within,  then it will reach out far, perhaps a mile.

Even your eyes, it reflects, they speak volumes; when it's a genuine smile;

A smile which is not fake, nor a plastic one, just for style.

A kind tender smile lightens not just your face; it's like the life- giving Nile.

SOOOO FLASH YOUR MILLION DOLLAR SMILE.

LONGING

A longing there is,  to now home, quickly reach ;

For this to You, O Ahura Mazda, I implore, I  beseech

Forgotten, I have the looks of my home, its dimensions, my batting pitch;

Its colourful and fragrant gardens; oh, and also,  was there a beach?

Forgotten I have those beautiful faces of angels, with whom perhaps I did play;

Or in those meadows besides the stream, with friends, where I did lazily lay

Are those gates still huge? Will they, me an entry permit, or keep me at bay?

To those, my dear ones,  who receive me will; I do have so many things to say.

Today on ROZ n MAH FRAVARNDIN, to all revered Ravans, I say a prayer quick;

"Is the flower or fruit ready ? Eagerly waiting, I am; when will You, me pick?"

Half burnt , old, and worn out is the lamp; weak is its overused wick

Now, there is a longing to get home. Perhaps I am homesick.

😥😨😱😥 ACHES

Aches and pains do make us very low feel;

Especially when we, under acute pain, reel

Be it physical or emotional, it takes time to heal

But give up, we must never, nor our pain conceal

Fight it bravely, we need to, however difficult it is to deal.

Remember, troubles and  pain cannot our fate seal.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

मैं तो हूं तेरे भीतर,  तेरे साथ,  तेरे ही आसपास

मत बहा नैनों से निर, तेरे दिल में हूँ, कर ले
तू मेरा विश्वास

चली आ राधे,  छोड़ कर संसार; चल आज फिर एकबार रचाये रास

तेरी तड़प से मैं भी तड़पता हूं, न हो यू निराश

मैं तो हूं तेरे भीतर,  तेरे साथ,  तेरे ही आसपास

BEJAN N MANIJEH (from the  SHAHNAMEH)

A young, immature, emotional,  romantic fool she was

Didn't think she of the dire consequences, a spontaneous action, of course;

Did not realise she, that soon there would be a havoc, a heavy penalty with many a clause

Hence, of lots of trouble, she would, in the future,  be the cause

Manijeh's  immaturity, Bejan's overconfidence n attraction, did trouble cause

Love is spontaneous; but along with it come sacrifices, they didn't think, didn't pause.

Lessons many learn we have to, n before any actions, we definitely need to consider social laws

THAT FATEFUL 23rd JUNE

Some inhuman acts, indiscriminately  done by Satan's sons,  leave an undeniable permanent mark

On this fateful day , our proud Emperor Kanishk,  into the Irish coast,  near Cork, scattered into those seas, deep n dark

Three hundred and twenty-nine lively, excitedly beating hearts, those innocent lives for ever perished

Their dear ones, eagerly awaiting their arrival; would have beautiful memories,  which they could, life long cherish

Instead, disaster struck, there was wailing and crying,  there was mourning; so many relatives were absolutely shattered

We Air Indians, all of us, were shocked beyond words; speechless, helpless, we felt then, truly, words hardly mattered

Even today, I ask myself, will those sons of Satan, by God, ever be forgiven? Why did they,  those innocent lives diminish?

Why didn't those cowards attack those they had an issue with? Why do they let them rest n comfortably sit in their niche ?

How I wish, fight their battles bravely n directly they would, with the people whom they have these indifference, these issues

The world, a peaceful, secure, and safer place will become for people, once directly sensibly dealt are, these issues.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Reading a book, relaxing lazily I was on my hammock

A sqeal I heard; on peeping out, I got a real shock

Standing a little away, was an Elly small n a giraffe tall

Luckily they were both outside the compound wall

They looked cute, this Elly plump n Twigaa, majestic n tall

Frehan, who was in the resort, at Twigaa threw a ball;

This, for our four legged cutie pies, was a game; a play-call

The Elly caught it in his trunk, because it was about to fall

Now I kept my book aside, enjoying all this I was, from my hammock

When came the ball straight on to me, which Elly from his trunk, did unlock

Caught it I, n threw it back to Twigaa, who returned the ball;

Between the Twigaa and Elly, they didn't allow the ball to fall

Watching this all, was Zoish the animal lover, our cute little doll;

Besides her was standing Frehan handsome n tall, who wouldn't let the ball fall.

A video if made, would be a life time memory to this episode recall.

Always stood up for truth n justice my Dad, tho' a legal legend, you were, with us, so simple n plain

With those great values, we match cannot; but many, we imbibe n have retained

May Mom n You, in heaven, to higher realms continue to progress, rise to higher plains.

MILES TO GO

Many, many more miles to go, trudge on dearie,  sometimes with tears, n sometimes with smiles.

Come in life ours will, many more difficulties,  tests, tribulations and trials

Rocks first, then hillocks perhaps, many hills n dales too. Oh, it's gonna be miles!

Face we will have to, hills n mountains too,  before our ravaans/souls, absolutely purified get

Many a deed, from our "Karma," bank-balance  fulfil we will have to, before we are all set.

Reincarnate to lessons learn many more, each time in a way different; it's not an easy bet!

Ahura  n our angels help n guide us will; n know I for sure, succeed one day, we definitely will

Prepare us O Daadaar Ahura Mazda; for cross we'll have to miles; it's gonna be a tough drill.

"Anar" pleads, help and guide us O Parverdegar, to successfully go through this grill

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM, NOW, FAR AWAY FROM ME, IN HEAVEN

I remember gifting  you a soft  baby pink sari, on your birthday in 1978, the first one, after I got married and came to Ahmedabad.  You were everyone's Jer Masi; but I couldn't stop myself from calling you Mummy. From that moment,  you were and will always be,  my dearest darling Jer Mummy.
You meant a world to all 3 of us.  You were the Sun and we, your planets.
Wherever you are, we love you,  and send this divine love to you.  Vispi is perhaps lucky enough to be able to reach you and wish you in person. Though far away, (in fact, don't even know really where!!!) But you are in our hearts.  Miss you very much, I DO, my friend, philosopher and guide,  my angel divine, who fills my heart with her unconditional love. Who took a frightened little girl in her loving arms and kept her there forever.
Love you  Ma n miss you.
Waiting to unite.
Yours

પણ તેં તો લઈ લીધી વિદાય...  હવે હું શું કરું.....

હવે રડું છું તો પણ આંસુ વહયાં જાય છે, ગાળો ભીંજાઈ જાય, પણ કોઇ લૂછનાર નથી, તેં તો લઈ લીધી વિદાય,....
હવે હું શું કરું....

સદા સાથ નિભાવી શકાતો નથી, એ તો હું પણ જાણું છું, તારે જવુંજ પડયું, એ પણ હું માનું છું;...
પણ હવે હું શું કરું....

દીલ દુભાય છે, આંસુ વહે છે, સિસ્કીયો પણ કદાચ તને સંભળાય છે; જેમને હું રોકી શકતી નથી; ....
કાંઈક તો બોલ, હવે હું શું કરું
....

સ્મિત મારું, શું કદી પાછું આવશે; ખોવાઈ ગયેલાં ગીત, સંગીત શું પાછા આવશે? ....
તું જ કહે; હવે હું શું કરું?

HAPPY WALA BIRTHDAY.......

When a cute son to Yasi was born; who she generously said, I could share;

So, we played a lot, even danced n sang and some really good times we did share

Now this little boy big is; he  now showers love upon us; and shows me,  he does care.

Here is wishing this cute son Burjis for all, Fariz for me, A VERY VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HERE'S WISHING YOU ALL THE VERY BEST, ALWAYS.

Love you loads.

IT'S MAHARASHTRA/GUJARAT DAY TODAY

Bombay Presidency was divided by the then politicians, those so called experienced n wise;

It would have been a huge big united and prosperous   state, otherwise.

This togetherness would have brought about a feeling of unity, prosperity, oneness.

I think, may be then, the rate of farmers, committing suicide would perhaps be a little less.

Divisions further divides people; they create not just physical separation, they create separation in the hearts n minds too.

A divided India, weaker will become; with language, caste, religion and many other such barriers; remember please, states will further divide me, from you.

It's Earth Day.... A few lines straight from my heart....

ABOUT OUR EARTH; DO WE BOTHER???

Our Earth is burning, scorching, but who is  bothered; why bother; do we really care???

We discuss, argue, hold summits; but then mostly things are forgotten; do we really care???

Forests are cleared, trees chopped off in urban areas for construction of buildings; do we really care???

Polution increases, rain decreases, water shortage is acute; but there's hardly any action; do we really bother???

Sea levels are increasing, glaciers melting and decreasing; but how does it concern us; do we really bother???

Our grandchildren may have to carry portable oxygen; but that's really not our concern; about this, do we really bother???

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, LET'S PLANT ATLEAST ONE TREE OR A FEW POTTED PLANTS.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

IF WE CARE

In this world busy, If for someone we truly and really love and care;

Without the slightest hesitation, however busy, for them, time we will certainly spare

In their many joys, people will join in; but if we care, their sorrow we will share

Help them in their hour of need; help them to difficulties face n sorrows bear;

Help them we will to cheer them up, in whatever way we can, because we care.

Love, kindness and care are the sweetest feelings; they are beyond compare.

MANGO, THE KING OF FRUITS & HAFOOS/ALPHANSO  IS THE EMPEROR.

Sweet as sugar,  luscious, with a mouth watering taste n flavour; are insufficient words, to a Mango describe;

Sometimes tangy, sometimes sour, but when ripe, often sweet as sugar; can't describe a Mango aptly, this scribe.

As kids, we were often, this offered, as a reward/award or you may say, a lucrative bribe.

Summers scare most of us in the tropics; but jackfruit and mangoes lure us beyond this unbearable heat;

With "Aam panna, Baflo, lassi, chhash, nimbu-pani,"  one can somewhat, the summer heat beat.

If we have many many more Mango trees, an "Aambawadi", is actually a wonderful, a truly good retreat.

So let's not just enjoy the fruit, let's also plant its seed.

THIS SUMMER... JUST NOW...

1)) The summer is now really really hot.
The Sun is burning our Earth.
Can we please please please reuse water from our RO s and AC s to give water to the thirsty birds, animals and water our plants.
All this takes just a few minutes. Let's bring some mirth.

2)) Please have some plants that give out oxygen at night, in your bedrooms.
ACs are on and the oxygen level drops; plants like snake plant, spider plant etc give out oxygen; doing this is really, our efforts worth.

TAKU THE LOVING DAKU


This cute little Daku, our Taku, is shiny, jet black, slim, lithe and swift too

If she wants to cuddle, hug and shower her love, seriously, God help you!

And if annoyed or irritated, we may have to warn the guy, "run, run, God save you "

Shoes, chappals, my colours, paint brushes etc. when destroyed, I often rue;

Besides her mischief, this little Daku, very sensitive is; even tries to talk to you.

Her love extremely genuine is, n is straight from the heart, warm n true.

God bless you n Brandana, you are both our darlings, we love, both of you.

SEPTUAGENARIAN

Seems just the other day,  I was seven, hopping, skipping, jumping; it was so exciting!

Fervently doing I was, my kasti, soon after my Navjot, my Avesta prayers religiously reciting

Also, remember I,  climbing trees, and without washing fruits, directly into them, biting

When and how the burdens of a mundane life gradually took over me, actually remember I do not;

In duties and responsibilities, one slowly gets entangled, like a spider in his own web is caught!

Teenage to youth, adulthood, parenthood,   then grandparents, n now of course what age has brought on

I have just turned into a septuagenaian; quickly changed, have things, as time slipped off, years have gone ;

It was a beautiful dawn,  bright n shining; but, I now see dusk, the shadows, night slowly but certainly coming on.

Lord kind,  let me grow old gracefully,  accepting the change that comes gradually

Help me  bear the oncoming aches and pains; and the body organs slowing down eventually

To almost any and every septuagenaian, this is bound to happen. Come it is going to,  perpetually.

पर भाए अधिक मोहे हरा और लाल, और उससे ज्यादा, सबसे प्यारा लगे मोहे गुलाल

चुनरिया अब मोरी कोरी है, तू रंगबे रंगी रंगो से भर दे उसे; रंग दे उसे लाल

कान्हा होली खेलने आ भी जा, इतना न तरसा मोहे; असवन से भर गए हैं मोरे गोरे गोरे गाल।

मीरा तरसे, राधिका तड़पे, गोपियों की अखियों से जल बरसे; मोहन, बुरा है हमरा हाल ।

तुझ बीन वृंदावन सूना, तेरे चरण  स्पर्श करने के लिए जमुना का नीर अधीर, बुला रही है तुझे अनार, और कदमकी की हर
डाल

जो इस साल भी आ सके न तू, तो किसिके हाथ चुटकी भर रंग भिजवाना, हे घनश्याम, हओ मेरे गोपाल।

TALE OF A TREE

Bare I was, because shed I had to, n that's what I sadly did; I shed off most of my leaves

But worry one must not, when in God, Nature, and humanity one firmly believes.

A kind little boy,  his water bottle emptied daily on me, as home he went from school

For him, watering me and another nearby plant was a passion; it almost became a rule

It worried him,  soon, his exams would start, followed by a summer vacation; n I was still bare.

He prayed to  Ahura; "it will soon be Navrooz, may I request You,  to both trees revive; I really about them care"

Look up he would daily, eagerly awaiting to see new, fresh little leaves, with a prayer on his lips

Just days 5 away from Navrooz we are, he thought, as he, his school left; filling his bottle, n taking a few sips.

Wow, lo behold !  what did he just see ! I had tiny little leaves bursting on my branches; all over me !

He looked Heavenward n was thrilled to this see; me, wearing a new garb; this glint of happiness in his little eyes; I loved to see !

ऐसे तो कहते है औरत को शक्ति, पर सच में मानते नहीं, देते नहीं उसे सम्मान ।

बहुत से मर्द, उसी शक्ति के उपर, शक्ति जताना, समझते है अपनी शान ।

औरत की सुंदरता पर, वही, शक्ति की युवानी पर, खो देते हैं अपना आपा और ईमान ।

कभी कभी तो बन के दानव, उसे छिनभीन करने के बाद, ले लेते है उसकी जान।

औरत कहो, या नाम दो उसे शक्ति, उसकी मासूमतामें ही, बसती है उसकी इज्जत और आन।

हर लड़की को आदर से देखने का, उसे सम्मान देने का, हर मर्द को भगवान से मिला है फरमान ।

🤵‍♀️🤼‍♀👯👭

WOMEN'S DAY

Everyone,  including me, is about this talking n discussing, it's all over in media n print

Discussing n women praising; how liberated ! n how much money, she does mint

But sadly,  even today,  many of them live a life, in utter poverty, a fact bitter it is

My maids n their kids, I try to teach; teach them to read n write; but they are really not at ease

Savings, I compel them to make; in a piggy bank; a small amount they have to mandatorily keep

Into details, many other, like anaemia,  sanitation, etc. I would like you to take a peep

A lot more needs to be done; celebrations we educated, perhaps afford, can;

But in reality,  in life actual, should we celebrate this day? Please put yourself there; just be that woman !

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Spew venom please do not; after all, you are not a snake;

Treat everyone alike, for your  creator's, for your God's sake .
