Strive for success
Success is refraction

Refraction is mirage
Mirage in desert
Desert of desires

Run for desires
Desires after desires

No rest from desires
No water for ******
In mirage of desires

Nothing for rest
Rest for body
Peace in mind
Love for soul
In the world of desires

Sit in the solace
Of your soul
To free from mirage
Mirage of desires

You are very polite
As light as feathers

You have ability to bear
As deep as maire

You hold happiness and sorrow with same reaction

Keep on working with same passion

You believe in spirituality
This shows your modality

Three girls of same age group were sitting in front of me

One of them tall and fair sitting in the middle looked just once at me
And started laughing
Tried very hard to stop
Not to laugh
Kept her hand and pressed her mouth
But could not stop

The other two girls from left and right looked at her
Now all were laughing together
Whole room filled with their laughter
Made the moments filled with joy
When I asked why are you laughing?
They felt embarassed
As they don't have any apparent reason

I too enjoyed and hold the moment in me
It was also laughing seizure for me
I too could not stop laughing

Daily single boiled food
In one unshaped bowl
No other utensil is accepted
One old mug with broken holder
Left unused by children
is used to take liquids
When eat his food
No single grain is left
Cleaned as if washed

Wrap in single lower cloth
During all summers

Do most of his work
Without taking much help
No money he accepts for his help

Croons his prayers
to soften his old age pains

Wish to extend his life
For his son to give him time
to serve him
So that he should not have
guilt
Could not serve as he was mostly out for work
Live like a monk
is my father in law by luck

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

Two days were left
For my marriage
Every one was busy

Relatives were talking
They were joking

Some were cooking
Ready for feeding

Dustbin was full
I took the bin
Went to clear the tin

Suddenly I stopped
One life was breathing
On the heap of dumping

Too weak to walk
In state of gasping

I went back running
Brought a basket of canning
With a cotton clothing

To give cushion
To a young puppy

My relatives disagreed  for keeping
If it died
It might bring misfortune
"Throw it out
From where you brought"

My mother said nothing
I fed the life drop by drop
With a dropper

Till evening to our surprise
It came out from basket
It was moving

At night
It went to its bamboo house
We covered it with soft piece of cotton dhoti
To keep it warm
In that winter night

I checked twice
During that night
It was sleeping right

At early morning
I tried to take it out
But it was motion less
And breathing less

Every one told
To dump the body in dumping place

But how could I?
I was mother for one day

We buried not in hurried
In the soil
With few prayers
To make soul free
To rest in peace

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.

I live in a universe of my kind
Which is ruled by me
Ruled for me

No one can enter without
my permission

Monk like vibrations create
A new world of imagination

Make the place well cordinated
With the other thoughts in harmony

Some evil thoughts
de-vibrate ,collide, derail
the smooth functioning of
the brain

A constant war between these two

Every one's brain is it's own
Kind of universe

Give strength to the concept of multiple universes

My
Soul is the mirror
Which shows me every particle of dirt on the face of my mind
Sometimes I ignore
But could not ignore for long

Then with the good deeds of face wash
I try to remove the dirt of those thoughts which makes it dark

On weekends I give services
to God like father
With face cream of his blessings I try to make face of  my mind glow.

With scent of his smile
I carry the fragrance to offer
in the feet  of my prabhu.

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

I was on round in school
to check the activities of the  annual function to run smoothly

On the way I found a boy of class three
Who dropped himself on the ground
Took three, four rolls

I surprised and asked loudly
"Hey what are you doing?

See you have spoiled all your uniform
Your face too is painted with dusty earth
I am unable to recognize you"

He stood straight and answered innocently

"Mam I am practicing the roll of terrorist in play
I am protecting myself from Indian Army "

I hold the hand and sent him to clean his face

I was amused by the sincerity of the child by which he played his roll.

Road of my life split

Stopped and amazed

In fear to get a longer way

But in the cries of most travelled
I lost my ways

Rain of destruction
Rain of unending cries and pain
Rain of flesh and blood
Radio active clouds demonstrating explosive

Destructive missiles

Never cured

Every body cried for

Chaired by

Initiated grass root movement for survivors

Cheered and cried
On receiving

Dedicated their lives to

It will force the world

Any one
Not discussed to dear ones
When pyramid of my dreams
Fell like the pyramid of cards
I lost faith in myself
I lost faith of all
Might be I was wrong somewhere
As I strongly believe
Neither of we were wrong
Things may went wrong
Might be God wished liked that
Neither of we were wrong
This my eyes sees
This my heart speaks
This my soul feel
These are the threads woven to grow into
an unnamed canvas

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"

Create a poem
Best in your creations
Which takes me to my beloved standing on horizon

From there sending me vibrations to come near
Showing me His glimpses
and get disappear
Playing a game of hide and seek

The more I go towards Him
More it seems move away

His reflections call me again and again

Now I am sitting here on the bench of time
Sent my vibrations to Him
I am tired and thirsty
You come if you love me
Otherwise
Let me sit here till infinity
I will wait for you

On
The way to school in the nascent morning
Where tall palm tree are
standing in meditation

Orange sun is peeping through the palm trees in
enthusiasm to see who are
passing by

Sunrays are flowing in rhythm with the waterfall

Kissing and spreading the
colours of rainbow on its face

Every drop of waterfall entice to winking sunrays

Dripping love of waterfall
cuts every stone at the bottom of heart

Flowing,dancing and enjoying to make it its own part

On the floor of washroom
made me scare
I looked and checked
What it was?

It was the shadow of
cobweb hanging from the ceiling of washroom

Looked me
Like the painful past
Whose shadow in present
Creates an uneasiness in life

Loved you deep as sea
Found myself in missing sky

Found you in core of my heart
But was missing love art

You were from my soul
But I was not your mate soul

To see pain in your eyes
to get free from my love

As you fumbled in saying
It was one sided love of mine

I let you go
Gave you way silently

To find a place
Which I never wanted

Don't know whether you
found your face
But I am still in pain

Bird of my relationship was
flying and gliding
freely

Lightening in the sky
burnt my wings
and crashed me on land

Gathered all my strength
and revived like Phoenix
With the beautiful wings
of friendship
With no expectation
Only concern and care

Saw her name on screen
Thought what to do?
Again same question
"What should I Do? "
Which I cannot solve?
She fell in one sided love
Her cries made me feel bad
Urge me to do something
How can I make him to feel love for her?
It's not a material
Which I could get for her
She cries in front of me
All the times lost in her imagination
Wants him to talk with her
Wants him to give her a look
Wants him to listen her
Searching  a person
Who can get his love for her
But how?
No one can bring feelings of love from him to her
She complains
He didn't reply to her morning wish
Didn't answer to his missed calls
Didn't reply her msgs
She kept on telling

Suddenly door bell rings
I told her" Oh! My tution kids are here"

She ended her call with no solution from my side
which can satisfy her
I could not find solution of  one of my very young friend

"There is plan B to activate
for my final journey"

Grand father told us
He went to hospital for final
Check up

He told doctor to give him form for ***** donation

Doctor said
"There is no use of your old
and torn organs
They will not work for any

Now you will take my body
To my birth place Jind

Where I spent my golden days
In a large joint family
Till age ten not aware
Who was my real mother

Where I stole butter
Hidden from my eyes

I kept alive fire at fire place
To produce hukka to my father in winter days

I came running to get
Rope and tools
When asked by father in fields

My duty was to carry bunddle of grass on head
To feed our hungry cows

I was never given hard work
As my rest six brothers were stout

Where we celebrated
all fervor together

Where my mother took her last breath
I want to sleep in her lap
on my mother land

A flower for my beloved
Searched it on reaching the place where we decided to meet

I found it no where
Must have dropped it some
where
Turned back to my way
To look the place
Where I dropped by mistake

I reached the place from where it was plucked
I found it there
But alas!
It was thumped by some one

It could not be given
Before I turned back
I heard it's painful cry
My tear fell on it
I took it with me and
kept in my book of love to dry
To create a piece of art for my beloved

I find a poem in playing children
On the slide of garden
And poetry in their talk

I find the rhythm of poem
in  two trees embracing their roots to reach their hearts

I hear a love song singing by the breaths of young couple
sitting on the bench of park

I read a poetry of young days on the faces of old couple holding hands and talking together

I see moon writing a love poem for white Jasmine flowers bloomed full on the tree and sending their fragrance for him

I am stuck
With the beauty of
Pole Star
In the northern sky

Gazing for hours
Wish
I could bring it on my land

But this is a special star
Magnificent and brightest

I forget for some time
It is fixed for special cause

For celestial navigation
To show path to
Lost travellers and sailors

Who lost their way
In this crowdy and noisy place

Very religiously

Posted very far from home
Cover almost thousand Km

They celebrate like  a festival

Salute to those people

Sitting in dark
To see the light
Beyond the life
Sitting under the dense banyan tree
To see happenings inside me
To find peace from crowd
But monkey of thoughts
Making me afraid and not letting
me get the diamonds from peaceful mind
Suddenly a monkey came and sat with me
I was looking to him
He was looking to me
Fear made me statue
He plucked a branch from tree
Plucking each leaf and keeping in my lap
and disappeared
Gave me msg
"work on your problems one by one."

Just after marriage
He took me to the roof of his house
Situated at the foothills of Shivalik

It was dark and clear night
Stars were twinkling in the sky

He showed me light coming from the houses on the hills

They looked like sparkling diamonds on the ring

He said"That is Kasauli looking like a beautiful lady wearing a glittering sari.

This is place full of scenic beauty with lush greenery.

We both will go on tracks to enjoy the life"

I smiled and nodded

Still Waiting for his promise to ment

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
