A girl student at age 15
Gave me a child look and
Asked

"Mam
Can I marry a boy in twenty?

Will it be a sin?

Will I do a wrong thing?

Should I say yes to him? "

Looked to me in doubt and fear

I tapped her back
Held her hand softly
Took her for a stroll

I told her
"This is not right time
First complete your studies
Get a good job
Till then tell him to wait if he loves you"

Otherwise you will waste your time
You will spoil your future.

I lost my father recently
So you might have approached me in empathy

You showed your concern and care

Loneliness is created in me due to this great loss

Must have made me think like this
You love me

Is it my mistake?
This is experienced by one of my young friend.
I wish she come out from this situation soon

Don't judge people
By listening from others

Don't spread rumour
If someone is passing in your ear

Be a good listener
When other is in fright

Be a good motivator
If one is looking towards your eyes

Hold someone's hand
When there is emotional breakdown.

Embrace someone
When one needs love and care

Namibia and Zimbabwe government
Took strange decision for food supplement

They decided to cull elephants
For their betterment

They want to feed their hungry people
To make wild life *******

Wild life need protection
Where is love and affection?

It is friction between man and animal
They think they are fantastical

Situation is alarming
We are destroying our food chain rapidly

Global warming is increasing
Ozone layer is depleting

This is going unending
What if no wild animal  is left?

Man will eat man
Man will become maneater
Then starts a reverse food reaction

He was taking out petrol
From his scooter tank
In a transparent small bottle blank

He asked a person seems to his boss
Standing near the cross
In white collar dross

"I filled 3/4 bottle
Would you please allow me
to fill rest from your car"

He shouted
"You poor
How can you dare?
Am I getting free petrol from office mare "

I looked at him
He left the place

I asked him
"Why do you need petrol"

He answered
"Grass is tall
I need to fill in grass cutting machine

Office will take time to sanction
Children will play in ground
After the school is over

There is fear of insect or snake bite
I want to finish work today
So that they can play  
In peaceful way"

I forced to think
Who is rich

A white collar man in his glossy dress
Or
A man in old torn stinking dress

Rakhi
Festival of brother and sister
It honours the bond between siblings

When sisters tie beautiful
Sacred threads on her brother's wrist with lot of good wishes

Today both brother and sister
Ready for this fervour

She tied rakhi and asked for gift

He picked another beautiful thread
Fixed on her wrist

We both will take care of each other
Care when in need
Will support indeed
Protect each other from all problems

I promise you
I will be honest on my part

One and one will become eleven
If you stand parallel to me

You are not timid and weak
You are as strong as me

I take you to gym
To teach you safety skills

I teach you math
To make your calculations strong

I teach you English
To give wings of expression

I teach you science
To understand  the chemistry of life

I teach you bio
To understand the function of Xylem and Phloem
To train
which emotions you have to send in Xylem
Which in phloem

Come my dear sister
Stand with me
We together will nurture
Our family

As I stepped out of my house
A kitten was crying fiercely

Frightened and scared
Calling it's mother loudly

Making so much noise
Displaying defensive postures
Situation was really horrifying

A dog was trying to pound
To make kitten in  its bound

Suddenly I saw
A female monkey jumped from tree
Standing in front of predator

In spurr of moment
She picked up kitten

Climbed up tree
Embraced it in her lap
Holding  near her chest
Soothing and comforting

It was breathtaking

Motherly love in her
Played a great role

Role model for us
Who were standing around
Few were watching
Few were busy in making reel.
