Face to face with me

Still, I have many points to talk to myself Many reasons to quarrel with me Many tears to shed in front of me. Still, I fail to make friendship with me Fail to sulk with me Fail to live in peace with me without escaping the rest, Yet to bloom the flowers of my self-confidence, Yet to walk on a firm footing, Still to pat on my back, thank, love and inspire me. Still, I need to know and understand…

When the bright sun cannot invade the thick leaves of the banyan tree, the pure air shows his smiling face. So the shepherd sleeps in peace under the tree. So does the cow sleeping next to him and his flute. The air conditioning machine cools Off my body in a multi-storey house But, tires me with its poisonous  air I dream a day-dream- As if I have become a shepherd Returning home after…

The address of the right time

  I know you keep lying – That you love me Still, why I felt so forgotten? Why I felt so ignored? I am the time. Why not work on time, Leave all your jobs half-done? Why do you forget all the plans? At the end of the day Mountains of work accumulate at the desk; You are afraid of heavy work! The moon in the sky peeks into the canopy of palm trees, Sways in the air and plays hide and seek; The…

I know you will come when a sad day ends; I know you will come To apply balm On my wound the battle of life causes.   As I am in my wits’ end and fear grips me In times of crisis, Soon after, you’ll come To break my fear and To clear my confusion.   When I can’t find The rhythm of language in the land of poetry, I am hopeful, You will come to my help.   I know you will come, So I hope and wait…

I don’t want to change As I am perfect So I don’t want to change, But I expect others to change. I don’t understand you, But I expect you to understand me. I know I hide the facts, Yet I expect you not to do so. I know I love you with some conditions But, I expect you love me with no conditions. I have blurred vision- I know Still, I expect your clear vision. I don’t want to balance and…

Inner dialogues with my body and mind

Inner dialogues happen to us each day. How and what happened to me today is given below. After a long time, I straighten my spine, sit cross-legged, closed my eyes and start focussing on how I inhale and exhale air through my nose. Next few minutes, I can not make out what is happening inside me. I hear some voice. Then  I try to understand who is speaking to me. Finally, I can feel that my body…

Why improve your skill and self-esteem

Skill brings success. Self-esteem brings confidence. Why improve your skill and self-esteem? Let me tell you why. My younger son used to talk about his examination results in a unique way. Let me explain it here. As usual, we, the parents, were very much eager to know his score soon.

Mind can do everything

“Enjoy Sunday.” Yesterday one of my friends sent this WhatsApp message.  Every day is Sunday for me as I have retired from service. The day whether it’s Sunday or any other day, becomes beautiful when you spend it beautifully. It does not matter whether it’s sunny, gloomy,  cold,  hot or rainy.  In other words, the quality of life is in your hands. Let me explain it here. It’s in your hands how…

Can you tell me who is a good person? Can you see His vision? Do you know his mission? So how do you identify him? Do you know what he thinks in his mind, When he is alone,? When he speaks out What words Does he pick out? Don’t you see his smiles on his faces all the time, Don’t you feel how his heart trembles in love if you dive into his mind I am sure you will lose hope to find no traces of…

Lord, accept my gift

  Lotuses are in the water. When they bloom together The water reservoir looks like one vase of flowers.   As I know You stay In my mind So I love you.

Let’s meditate and pray

Thoughts of mine move in a chain- with an even pace, And so they don’t come out from my chest, Thus, they make whirling pain. If I had let them out, I would have become thoughtless, As well as painless. Once pains gone I will be at ease- Ease with my life. Still, It’s not so easy to be at ease. The easy way out is to meditate and pray. So let’s meditate and pray, To keep thoughts at bay. This act…

If I could know what makes you love I would have told others. If I could know what makes you help others I would have told others. What makes you kind enough I don’t know. What makes you pray to God I don’t know. How you do so I don’t know. If I could know What makes you do so I would have told others. If I could do so I would become a touchstone That makes better persons. The world then would…

For you, I can hold your hand So that you don’t slip But can walk on the ground For you, I can give you my shoulder and chest Where you can place your head for rest I can dig the earth for you So that you can quench your thirst From water that comes out from the pit You can not imagine What I can do for you To keep you well and fine. You are the heart and soul of mine, You are my dearest son.
