I was climbing in hurry
As I was in worry

I was on the gate of Cardio department
Few steps away from heart land

My father in law was in pain
I want no time to go vain

In the middle of gate
Met an innocent girl with her mate

Must underwent a surgery
Singing a poem from nursery

She was blowing off soap bubbles
She had no sign of trouble

I looked at her
She smiled at me

As if saying
"Blow off your worries
Do same as I do"

Stop sitting on table
Where they fabricate fable

They speak evil about others
First they talk like brothers

When you get up
Next moment they break up

Then they make you their topic
Start making your persona toxic

Kids came back from school
I was late in cooking food

Swiftly
I washed grapes
Served to my children sitting on bed

I switched on TV
As they enjoy Tom and Jerry

Sharing grapes and making fun

Soon my son realised
Someone strange sitting next to them

Sharing grapes and watching TV

Both became statue
Fear and tear in eyes

On the verge to cry
Could not understood what to try

I whispered
Leave room slowly
Leave room quietly

Both were holding me tightly

I took a sigh of relief
To see my children safe

It was huge male monkey
An uninvited guest!

We destroyed their jungle
Which made their life mingle

It made their life miserable
Can't we make it reversible?

A small neem plant was grown
by an old man in his late eighties
Outside the boundry wall of his house

He looked after  it everyday
He grew some cactus for its safety

Neem plant was growing into a tree
Old man was becoming more elderly

Old man took few leaves every day
To keep himself fit

After few more years
Old man was unable to come down
From first floor to ground floor

One day I saw old man was talking to tree
"Now you are too strong
But I am too weak to walk"

I saw neem tree grew in more height
It increased its branches to reach the railing of old man's house

To my surprise one day
Old man was plucking the leaves
From first floor of his house

Neem tree was showing its gratitude
By offering its leaves to its saviour.

Grand father knows
His end is near
But he has no fear

He prepared his will
Taught me few skills

When I die
Don't cry
Take me to PGI

Donate my body
My liver is right
My kidneys are bright
My eyes have sight

Don't waste time
If organs not chime

Still it will be good for research
How this old man go for long life search

When they return my body
Take me for electric cremation

I don't want to cut down any tree
To make my body free

If I were a time traveller
I would not go to correct the mistakes I did

I can do it without being discoverer
Not required to be a time traveller

No one can change the past
But can change the future
By not repeating the same error

If you believe in God
There is no question to be stuck
Between the people who don't want to see you ahead

See yourself carefully
You are in hands of God

You only are watching
The footprints in rear mirror

Mistaken those footprints of people
Who wants you to keep behind

But these are footprints of God
Who came running to embrace you in your time of need

Exam! Exam! Exam!
There is pin drop silence!

Some are tensed and some are worried

School children think

Good morning sir
Thank you for morning flowers every day

Without forgetting a single day

What it might be
Happiness or sadness
Good day Or bad day
Meeting or parting

Send your wishes gladly
This is your own way

To keep everyone standing
And make everyone smiling

He was sitting on wheel chair
He was with his heir

On the way to become a skeleton
With very low Keratin

Looking here and there with dim eyes
Holding his chair tight

His son was standing at back
Giving him soft tap

His grandson was standing behind his father's back

It gave a sight
"This is how a life cycle rise"

Exam was over
A boy from junior class
Asked
"Are exams invented by
Mr. Revision? "

Before I could answer
"I will go in past and **** him"
And ran away
As his bus driver was calling loudly

A big question in mind
Should not our education system kind?

Raise yourself from the clouds of problems
Raise yourself from the clouds of sadness

Take out yourself from the hollowness of inferiority

Don't let these emotions you to swallow
Which keeps you hurting
Which keeps you bleeding
Which keeps you crying

Come on
Look towards sky
Rays of hope are smiling

You become fire ball in anger
Which gives pains and burns
Feel like ferns

You forget and come again
To feel sorry you did
With wet eyes indeed

But the person who went through all pains and burns

Will not be in a position to hear
To see in your eyes to give ears

Wonderful to see
An old man
Swinging and singing
Must be reviving
His childhood days
Let not get your childhood
Go away.

At your work place
At your home
Keep yourself ready
For relay race

Baton is given
Start your mission

Not to bother
Previous is slower

Not to worry
Who will be winner
Become a flight responder

Life is a relay race
Put all your efforts
At your best pace

Many races of life have been won
Many races of life have been lost
By the quality of baton to  post

Yes, I am rejected
I am a picture which doesn't fit in their frame

Sometime people in merit are not to be selected

This is what I was told

May be having 30 years of experience
And over all incharge of many events

But
You are not as smart as your junior

Might be having very good interpersonal relationships
With students and parents

Might have spent 30 years with full dedication

What can we do if you are a silent worker?

Indeed you are strong pillar of our school
Still we can't select you as principal

SORRY

I feel bad
Whenever see word disabled

They should be called specially abled
With love and care

One experience
Our family went through years

My father's left part paralyzed
Which made him crippled

He lived with metal pipe in his food pipe
After a tough surgery type

We passed through many experiences
Of hate and financial crisis

Many erratic question marks
On the faces of others
For his daughters

She called me there
Told me to sit on chair

She made me sit as an observer
As she had no trust on other

She showed her counselling register
This made other a splitter

Both exchanged hot discussion
Trying to put other in friction

They stopped discussion
Without any solution

Next day tried to repair the situation

They called me again on chair
They tried each other to scare

In between

Madam asked me for verification
As the person tried to put her in tough situation

I verified and said
"Madam this you said about her daughter"

Madam showed me anger look
How can I brought her in book

"You disappointed much
should give favour to me"

I was surprised
"Why I was made an observer"

I was standing near the school gate
On afternoon duty in tired state

After the school was over
Group of three girls came near

Very young of nearly 10 years age

Laughing and giggling
Shining and smiling

Faces of them were glowing
Like the fresh dew drops in the morning

Their innocence made me attracted

I went near to them to take some fresh air

I asked with interest
"Girls what is going on
Give me also some drops from your happiness"

One answered
'Today is her birthday'

Her father promised her
"He will arrange a nice party for his nanhi pari"

She surprisingly told me
"My father also call me his pari"

B'day girl hold my hand
softly with her both hands

Mam "May I ask you one question? "
Yes, please

"Are you also pari to your father? "

I astonished, could not reply
Tears  rolled down from my eyes.

Yes, definately
Girls are fairies with invisible magic wand

When I enter in school
A huge big  Peepal tree
Seems to welcome

Welcome by waving
its leaves which are shining

By reflecting the morning light
From perfect smooth height

It will be great!
If angle of incidence becomes
Equal to angle of reflection in LIFE

One morning
My son asked me
"Mummy would you like to drive bullet "

I looked at him surprisingly
What a question?

"Are you kidding? "
Making fun of me

No mom
"I am sure"

"Who will teach me? "
He answered"I"

But how?

Same as you did in my childhood
You held my cycle
Never let me tumble
Kept on running
No matter huffing
Till I told  you to stop

"Today
I will hold motor cycle
Sitting behind you
You will drive
You will enjoy

Come hold my hand
Don't get afraid
I am strong
I will not let you fall"

He was looking at me in doubt
I was quiet and feeling proud

It is umbrella
Off white shining from outside
Colourful from inside

Having beautiful handle
Easy to hold
Easy to carry

When will be opened
Protect from rain of pain
Protect you from hot sun rays of strain

It is there to keep you cool
Keeps you fresh and ready to move

It covers you and other
who is near

Its  umbrella of love

I met
An auto driver in metro city Delhi
He drove me to sister's house

He was light hearted
Smiling and talking lightly

In between
He kept on giving suggestion
Way to reduce pollution
Pollution of air
Pollution of water
Pollution of mind

I started taking interest
As it was a long jam

I couldn't hurry
No use of worry
Had to withstand
Hot waves and hot conversations of jam

I asked him about his family

He answered
He had three daughters
Proudly told me

They were going to school
I wanted them to stand their own

I asked another question
"Do you live here with your wife"

He told me
"I am never married"

It could not stop me asking another question
"But how do you have three daughters? "

He showed me his both amputated legs

His family met a major accident
His brother and wife died
Left their three daughters behind

My legs were cut
To keep my life must

After I recovered from
that drastic change
I found three daughters were sent to orphanage

I cried a lot for them

I decided
"I will beg but
I will bring them back"

I changed their diapers
I cooked their food
I sent them to school

"I am happy
I am blessed with three daughters

Now they are grown up
They cook food for me
Whatever I earn till evening
They welcome me with silver smiling"

I thought
"We are so called educated
Lost ourselves in mad race
Definately in rat race"
