PUPPY OF MINE

Happy very I would be, if I had you, in real, little one.

Loving caring you are, just like a daughter or  son

To have you frisking, jumping would be sheer fun

Unconditional love from you is much more than a ton(or gold)

Your faithfulness n love cannot be compared with anyone .

Rich I wish to become,  because I want to possess a PUPPY, sweet one.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

PURPOSE 


Tell me , why oh why was I, on this Earth born?

The purpose unknown, many wonder; a few  scorn. 

wish I, somehow, I could catch the bull, by his horn !


The purpose of life,  Ahura doesn't easily reveal .

At this lack of purpose, one really miserable does feel. 

O Ahura, to give me a clue about this, I plead and to You, appeal. 


When the very  purpose is known or crystal clear;

Fall in place things will, 

And hopefully there will be some cheer. 

Decrease will our anxiety, depression and fear .


O kind Lord of wisdom, You know what is right. 

Help us to resolve this struggle, this internal fight .

May there in my life, be the warmth, glow of Your  light. 


Armin Dutia Motashaw

PURPOSE

Proposes varied there are,  why here we are born.

Why this particular religion   parents or body we adorn

For an answer, between heart n mind we are  torn

Wish know I would, the reason for which I was born !!

Lord,  kindly grant me an insight; I wonder every morn !

At times, confusing it is and in discussions, we are torn

Send me a seer, who explain me can, the reason I was here born.

प्यार में सौदा नहीं

प्यार में कोई सौदा होता नहीं है;

गर कोई कहे है; तो मै कहूं, तो फिर यह प्यार नहीं है

हा, इतना जरूर है, थोड़े से प्यार की अपेक्षा जरूर होती है ।

प्यार मांगने से मिलता नहीं; और जबर्जस्ती से होता नहीं ;

नहीं तो हर इंसान बस प्यार ही मांगता; मै खुद भी ।

प्यार तो बस यूंही हो जाता है; अपना दिल, पल भर में, पराया हो जाता है ।

प्यार पे कहां किसी का ज़ोर चलता है ? मन मस्तिष्क "ना" कहता रह जाता है;

और दिल किसी की सुनता कहां
है, प्रीतम का ही हो जाता है।

प्यार जो करते हैं; वोह सौदा नहीं किया करते;
बस दिल का दिया जलाते हैं ।

प्रीतम की खुशी में, अपनी खुशी ढूंढते रहते है; खुद फना हो जाते हैं ।

किसीने कहा है, आंधी में यह दीप जलाते हैं और पानी में आग लगा देते हैं।

प्यार में सौदा नहीं होता है, जहां सौदा होता है, वहा प्यार नहीं होता है ।

Armin Dutia Motashaw

My Lord, ask You a question, I wish to, today;

Like men,why do You also sometimes Nature flay?

Humans chop off trees, so very many everyday

But can You kindly, not keep these storms at bay?

One storm, and trees many uprooted are from the clay

Your kindness n compassion, pl. spread around, all the way.

Protect our Earth and all of us, each n every day.

Without Your intervention, people, ruthlessly,
trees will slay.

We, forget, here on this very Earth, our progeny will stay.

Bless us with wisdom, so that protect we Nature n a penalty not pay.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

On 8th August 1942

India took a decision bold
The Brits,to quit India were told .
In 1947 achieved this we; which we today behold.

Our soldiers guard Her borders, amidst heat n cold.
Proved they have themselves brave n bold.
Or India, to Her enemies would have been sold.

Now protect Her, love n respect Her, we must, ten-fold.
Treasure Her territories, like one would, treasure gold.
And Her, as Nation one, carefully n painstaking hold.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

QUIT INDIA

In 1942, on this very day, told we the Brits to quit our Mother land.

Oh ! commitment great there was, all around, did this we, hand in hand.

It is August once again, when a big change has recently come.

Hope n pray for our dear India, bring it will positive change some.

May that unity of 1942 once again in our mind and hearts spring.

May the words Vande Mataram in our entire being ring.

So together, along with me, say let us all, " Vande Mataram"

"Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isayi, Parsi, sub ek hei hum"

JAI HIND

Armin Dutia Motashaw

QUIT INDIA

Quit India was a strong, nation wide, very huge, n massive protest;

Closely knit, united was our entire Nation, at its very best

Because of our unity, with flying colours, we passed this test;

But the Brits digest couldn't this, so divided us they by making us fight

They at us, threw a bone called religion; licked this we, fighting for every bite

Foolishly fell into their trap we did, every dog, trying to hold that English bone tight

Unfortunately so very blind we became with rage, that our common sense use we did not

Quit India they did, but destroyed they our peace; that bone, a problem permanent brought.

Fighting for that bone, which is, in our throat stuck; we in the spider's web are caught.

Reawaken if we using our sense common, perhaps this Motherland will, a super power again become

Self-restraint, discipline, love and understanding we need to use some

O my fellow Indians, come lets get together once again , please together come.

હળખાયલું કૂતરું જોઈને, હર્ધૂત કરે એને બધા.
બિચારું, એ શું કરે ?

ગધેડાનું નસીબ પણ કેવું, બોજો ઉચકે અને ઉપરથી બિચારું દીફા ખાય.

બલડ્યો ચલાવે ગાડી, ખેંચે હળ; માર ખાવો છે એનું નસીબ.

ગાય જેવી ઘરડી થાય, એનો બી બુરો થાય હાલ.
કોઈ બિચારી આં માતાને કરે ન વાહલ.

માનવ ની ફિતરત છે આવી, કામ બી કરાવે અને ધુત્કારે પણ.

A gesture filled with loads of love,  wrapped in colourful threads;

Wishing, my brothers always upon  a flying carpet tred.

Sending you my  RAKHEE,  with lots of love n wishes good

With prayers these,  my love and wishes good,  I send.

May Ahura be with you,  at every stage,  at every bend.

Your everloving sis,

☺️🥰😊

RAKSHA BANDHAN

A rakhee is a  beautiful bond of love,  faith n care

By tying it, a sister, shows  her love and care.

It also is a reminder of the lovely times, siblings share;

Beautiful memories,  love, fights,  squabbles, those a bro n sis share

A simple thread of cotton or silk, enough is, to say, "Bro I care for you"

"Bro. Keep that love throbbing,  irrespective of where I go, I will always love you".

"Bro, may God, you and your family alwayyyyysssss healthy  n happy keep "

"May He protect and guide you; and under His wings,  you safely keep "

From
Your loving sis.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Brother Dearest,

Happy Raksha Bandhan

Tiny beads n delicate strings, yet very strong is the bond.

Tells a sister to her Bro. With this, " of you, I am very fond".

With good wishes beautiful n many, she ties it on his wrist.

Kumkum, rice, flowers, feeding a sweet, indeed long is the list.

A beautiful gesture of appreciation n love,  festival is.

It's practice centuries old, rather thousands of years old is.

May all my brothers alwaysssss very happy stay

Wish you all I do, happy Raksha Bandhan Day.

Your Ever Loving Sis

HAPPY RAMNAVMI
Ram taught us self-discipline n  tolerance ;
He was a living example of obedience.
Promises, how to honour, learn we have to, from him.
Excelled in archery;  n strength he had, that  of Bhim.
A one woman's man, he was, not polygamic by nature.
An ideal human, who composed was; n very mature.
Awaken let us the Ram in us, on this auspicious occasion of RAMNAVMI.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happy Ram Navmi

R... Ram lives within n us and so does Ravan, says Anar;

A...Alongside both dwell; but depends on you, whom will you encourage?

M...Manthras alone won't help; but along with it, our good mentality definitely does.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RAM NAVMI


Whether you believe it or not, or think It's a legend, reality or just another story of strife;

Ramayana is worth following at each and every stage in one's personal life.

Today, this if we had followed well; n blindly not the western world;

Things different would be in our modern India; if His principles, we didn't hurl

May we follow Ram's footsteps, irrespective of our religion or religious beliefs

May Ram's ancient Bharat again lead the world; let's please turn on a new leaf.

May once again Bharat Mata shine and lead other nations towards prosperity n peace

This beautiful country is not just mere land; it is our rich heritage, don't slice it into many a piece.

Best Wishes to enliven the Ram, that lives within each of us.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

****

Her spirit they brutally batter,

Her clothes they tear apart  and tatter

Then forget they about all her agony n pain

At times,  they even try to prove her insane

Then issues they raise over her body dead

Poor parents n siblings this horrible deed dread;

But helpless are,  in the eyes of justice n law

That system which is  corrupt most,  full of flaw.

Public speeches are given, TV readers cry hoarse;

Then conveniently all is forgotten; time takes its coarse.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

When someone towards you, shows hate;

For his/her deed, you may leave him/her to fate;

But to flash a kind smile upon them, don't be late.

Anar

REALISATION

When truth strikes, it often shatters n deeply hurts us.

Our eyes moist become; n people may think it's fuss.

Or from a shock some may suffer, unable to reconcile

Before they can digest n accept, it takes a while.

Stabbed is our heart brutally  n deeply pains our mind;

When discover we, it's our own, whom later, guilty we find.

The mind almost accepts this fact; but the heart reluctant is.

Why is that your own try to hurt you;   why is this on an increase?

Answers the mind, " money, power and social status".

To relationships sever or reduce; different are the apparatus.

Think I, people today suffer from  diseases like indifference n hatered

Often it's our very own, who are shunned, disrespected or betrayed.

Earlier warmth there was in a family, along with togetherness.

Today this is taken over by indifference, ego n utter selfishness.

The earlier we realize this, the better it is for us all;

Into the trap of wicked Ahreman-devil, let's not as a prey fall.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Know you must reality, today the world is very very busy;
It moves at a speeeed, that makes one unstable n dizzy.
Ae dil, learn you must, to accept n not expect; just take it easy.

If n when need you they; time people have in plenty.
Some people, depending on their need may even gift you a Bentley.
But once you matter not to them, you are worth only RS twenty.

Chair n power is what they respect; don't you, anything expect.
It's not personally you, who they so willingly accept;
It's your utility, ability to give them something, that they respect.

So once again I tell you "Ae Dil", to take it easy.
Remember, now you are that drink carbonated, no longer fizzy.
Treated you will be, by them, as if you are a dangerous bear, grizzly.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

REAL V/S REEL

A big difference there is in real life n that of reel

Misled are young ones,  watching it a thrill they feel.

Sadly,  following a life wrong,  REALITY they seal.

Confused they are how to, with an actual reality deal.

Only if someone tell them could,  the difference between a mountain n a mole-hill.

There is no Snowwhite  nor dwarfs; that's  why fall Jack n Jill.

Harsh is a real life, with grinding stone and a grinding mill;

Allows life does not us to relax and take a chill pill.

Live we have to a life,  much against our wishes,  as per His will.

Hope some guidance is available to keep them closer to a life real.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O kind Lord
What is the reason of life, of  birth?
Why send you, humans
To this Earth ?
To  some you grant plenty
And keep some absolutely empty.
Why oh why, please tell me why ?

REASON

Request You I, to kindly tell me, or explain the real or hidden reason;

Reason why every few months,  changes a  season.

Reason why time continuously ticks; n a day,  night's fusion;

Complicated it is all, perplexed I am, there is a lot of confusion.

There's happiness less, n sadness more; what  is the reason?

We commonly see wicked n evil winning over truth, leaving a painful lesion.

People few understand the REASON for one's birth, one's mission;

If granted us you have power to reason, then why this utter confusion?

If endeavour we need to,  why surrender we must to fate, why this submission?

Laws of  Karma, sadly, show do not; thugs, scoundrels, rapists, there is treason!

O  Ahura kind,  O the wisest one, please clear my confusion;

Explain please, why do we have to surrender our will; why this submission?

PLEASE TELL ME THE REASON.

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.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RE-CREATE

Come let us all together

Be it good or bad weather

Re-create let us, that glory of the past

But hurry up we must; please make it fast.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REFLECTION

Our parents alwaysssss, for ever live in our heart.

After all, of them, we are an important physical n emotional part.

Love us they unconditionally, whether we are dumb or smart;

Irrespective of our colour, brains or the looks we cart.

If hurt we are, leaving everything aside, towards us they dart.

Being a parent, is a difficult task, of good Parenthood, it's a part.

Of my parents, let me, a reflection be, after all, I am their very part.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REJUVENATING

Suddenly stopped has the crazy rat race;

Slowed down tremendously has our pace

Our Earth is rejuvenating, its interior n surface.

Braked at last has that power-crazy creature,  in the race .

Considerably reduce must have in the air,  CO2's trace.

Nature is rejuvenating our worn out Earth's face.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REKINDLE

Rekindle that lost faith in us,  O Ahura Mazda kind.

Please help; into our religious fabric, us strongly bind.

Help us, especially our children, to firm faith in You find.

Today life is difficult,  busy very, it's a never ending grind.

People some, towards us, are often rude, selfish n unkind.

In the rat race, some try to forge forward, leaving us  behind.

Then wavers this belief in prayers, the young change their mind.

Perhaps our faith is not strong enough, or we have a weak mind.

Rekindle this much required faith in us O Mazda kind.

Into our beautiful religious fabric, help us to weave and bind .

Aedoon Baad.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RELATIONSHIPS

About it, when say people, it is bad;
Then I really do feel very low and sad;
But immediately think I, of my Mom and Dad.

Ask some people, " why do you think with your heart"
Say I, because relationships, in my life, are an important part.
Say they," but in this commercial world, that's not a way smart".

Relationships together keep you; they are like deep roots.
But unfortunately in today's world, about it, people care two hoots.
People behave, as if everyone is just out, to things loot.

Taught us Mom n Dad, " to respect n love, be it your family or friend.
It is this love and respect that will stay with you, till the very end".
So I believe in relationships; and for everyone a message send;
FORGIVE ME, IF YOU, I  EVER DID OFFEND.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Relationships true are those, during a crisis, which forward come;

For you, a shoulder to cry on, a solid support become.

Anar

Even if rich ; of relations take care
Happiness n sorrow with them share
With them,  your assets don't compare
This lead may to jealousy, poisoning the air.

Suspicion n ego make a deadly pair
Your misunderstandigs sit down n share.
Clear your doubts giving a chance fair
Relations are more important than money, DO TAKE CARE.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

RELATIONSHIPS

Your ties for reasons small, do not ever sever

To this do, don't support your ego ever;

Do not think by doing this,  you are doing something clever

To destroy a relationship, just to your ego pamper, should  be done never.

Today a person insignificant,  you may tomorrow rever

To  maintain everlasting relationships one should always endeavour.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RELAX

Learn to relax we must all, including me.
In things little, try to, happiness seek n see.
Relax for a moment, before accepting the strife;
Know we must, tensions are very much a part of life.
Relax, breathe deeply each time, before you worry;
Don't always be anxious or always in a hurry.
Money important is, but not more than your health.
Health and peace of mind are one's real wealth.
Need we to relax deeply; learn how to do so, we must all.
An overworked mind n body will be responsible for our fall.
So care not about things that trouble you.
Relax; give your mind n body, the respect deserved n due.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RELAXING

We cannot have all we wish for, so a few minutes for yourself take;

Imagine you are by the seaside, riverside or a serene lake;

Listening to your favourite music and relishing tea with cake.

Request Nature n the  Almighty to these things for  you create, make

I try  to dream of my Cooper Mansion,  by the riverside or lake;

Breeze cool blowing, the Moon shining n I, snoozing, half awake;

Enjoying beautiful lilting old songs, (not loud screechy ones for Heaven's sake.)

It will help you to relax, even if it  is imaginary,  or in reality, fake.

Try to relax, a few  deep breaths of perfumed essential oils please take.

A most wanted change in your lives,  this imagination will make.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REMEMBER

Small may be your home,  but keep your heart big;

Scanty may your hair be,  your own don't mind seeing you without a wig.

Keep people dear  to you, close to your heart;

Where there's love,  adjust one can living in a small corner or part.

Love,  care and trust important are in relationship any.

A millionaire may not be a good host;  have he may, rooms n servants many.

Better is a host, with a house small, but a heart large n attitude caring.

Remember where there's love and care,  there's automatically sharing.

GIVE LOVE,  GET LOVE SHOULD BE THE FUNDA

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REMEMBER

Let ego, wealth, differences, into a relationship, come not

Into these, followed by a verbal war, do not get caught

Difficult very it is, to re-establish relations, once you have fought

very dangerous is this web; into it, do not ever get caught.

Remember, our relationships  cannot be, with money bought.

They are as vital as oxygen, with care great, them we must sought.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Very selfish is man, loves he to pamper his own ego & it inflate;

Cares he doesn't about the poor, about animals; isn't this a sad state???

Request him to educate at least 1 poor child; or in his own kids, values inculcate;

But to this do, bother he will not; why change someone else's fate; why not, my own!!!

When this reality we see,  remember, good, healthy seeds, we haven't sown !

Instead our ego we have pampered, satiated & it, out of proportion streched; & overblown.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Republic Day Greetings To You...

Because our Armed Forces guard our land, soundly we can sleep.
Thank you for this I earnestly do, with gratitude deep.

Brave, hardworking, courageous and dedicated to the core,
To protect Mother India all the time you are at the fore.

Salute you, Armed Forces, with respect deep, I do.
About your monetary and living conditions, I often rue.

On Republic Day, greetings unto each one of you I send.
On Shaheed Day, my hands I fold in prayer and my head I bend.

Jai Hind. Happy Indian Republic Day!

- Armin Dutia Motashaw.

Resolve

Relationships, very  often highs and lows see .
if discuss matters we, problems resolved can be.
In times these, of competition, of rat race;
most relationships some problems face .
It's in hands our to amicably matters sort.
Instead today, people away run or them abort.
patience, understanding, a wee bit of letting go;
Can wonderful results bring; avoid it will many a foe.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A love letter for his lady love.....

RESTRICTIONS

Restrictions we all have; exist they in every human's life;

Also know we that life is full of complications n  strife.

Feel I, rather  than be a gentleman, it is better to be an elf;

But the one most difficult  is, restraining myself.

Unable I am to speak to you, of my love for you ;

Neither can I hide it from everyone; what should I do?

Know I also, of your absolute indifference towards ìt;

But because of this restriction die I  daily, bit by bit.

Self restraint, restriction whatever it you may call;

Is difficult to practise and definitely takes a big toll.

"My sweetheart,  my lady love, I love you is all I wish to you tell"

But this world and its ways weird; not to say so, me compel.

"Hope I to tell you this my darling before I, this world leave "

"Open my arms, I wish to, n to your heart beats, acceleration give ".

Your Lover Boy.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RETIREMENT

This word scares many people,  but please afraid be not.

By now tired you may be,  of the many battles you  have fought.

Seen you must have  ups n downs, illnesses;  n hardships lot

Now is the right time, to  relax, enjoy and  fulfill your many dreams.

Go out on tours, picnics,  movies; wine, dine n eat ice creams.

Your passions,  hobbies follow - sing, dance, roam, jog, swim.

Dread retirement do not, with your grandchildren qualify time spend

Keep in touch with  the old ones; or  make new friends at every bend.

Grow plants,  water them, and then, them as gifts to others send.

Teach  poor children, educate them to good humans become

In reading, writing, creativity, drawing,  painting,  time spend some.

Yoga do daily, n some  of the things above; fantastic will be the outcome.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Changed a meeting, between Vivekananda n Tata, the future of our country.
Great minds, where ever they are, even during a travel, never remain sedentary.
Tata steel born was as the after effects of this meeting.
This Industrial revolution, self sufficiency gave Brits a beating.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A Good Deed Daily

Thousands of containers are used daily to deliver food.

All one needs to do is to make a hole at the bottom, a handful of soil n a seed or a twig to grow small plants and help the Earth to rejuvenate.

Money plants can very easily be grown this way. Why not satisfy our soul this way.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

RIGHT AWAY, LET'S SAY, " I WILL...."

Before filling my plate with food, I will first, it taste.

Make it a point I will, not to heap food, and it waste.

I will respect my food and won't gobble it in haste.

To improve my health, I will chew it to form a fine  paste.

Remember I will, that my stomach is not a bag to dump waste.

TO SAVE WATER, I WILL....

Only take a little drinking water at a time, so that  waste it, I won't.

If there is extra water in my glass, plants I will water. Waste it I won't.

Whilst brushing, bathing or Washing, keep the tap running, I won't.

Reuse waste water from RO and AC plants; waste it I won't.

Tons of water from washing machines can be reused to flush toilets, waste water I won't.

ઓ  વહલાઓ મારાં , રાખે દાદાર તમને એમની પાસ્બાની માં

તમારાં અશો રવાન કરે  ખુબ પ્રગતિ, છોડી દુનિયા આં ફાની

આપજો અમને તમારા આશિષ અને સુઝાદ્જો રાહ નેક

પારસીપણુ જાલવિયે અમે; જીવીએ અમે, રાખી  ટેક

રાખજે અમારા વાહલાં ઓ ને, તારી પ્રેમભરી  નેગેહ્બાની માં

સદા ખુશ રહે એ લોક, તમારી ઔલોકિક  પાસબાની માં.

Little Rolly and Polly,

Sat on a toy trolley

And went to see their friend Dolly.

Travelling on a toy trolley,
was pretty much a folly;

But a fall was ok with these two darlings, jolly.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ROOTS
Roots, so very important are, to grow a luxuriant tree

from these shackles, a tree does not ever try to itself free.

The trunk however strong, does not survive, if it's roots are rotten;
                                    
same truth holds for our roots; we will perish, if they are forgotten
                                              
Today “multi-culture” is in fashion, hence to our roots, properly we tend not.

Just to marry out of the fold, many  wars are often  fought.

When in a “bhel-puri” situation, a child lives n grows

religious values different, often confuse him; that's  why, them, out he  throws.
                                              
Weak grow his roots, sadly, from the very beginning of life !

As he grows up, alongside grow his confusion and he lives in strife.

Strengthen our ROOTS we must; passing it on to generation next.
                                                    
Only if we know the Avesta, can we strengthen our children's future,  with this text.

ROSE BUD

Happy Roj nu Birthday....

A beautiful, fragrant Rose bud gifted I was, from Ahura

Plump, fair, with eyes grey, came this gift, from Mazda.

Nurgesh Aunty gave me this adorable little angel, my bundle of joy !!!

Who is very loving, cute n cuddlesome; my own toy.

She was the first baby in our entire family; truly precious most.

Her eyes grey, volumes spoke; holding her, I would almost boast

ROSES

May our lives be full of beautiful roses

Scattered in between with colourful poses;

May this sweet scent fill out noses.

Filled with joy; and laughter filled doses.

Most importantly may God grant us the wisdom of Moses.
