  Morning is the Best Time

  Morning is the best time

  The time is so youthful and prime 

  For its charm and splendopur

  Time to walk and ponder

  See the beauty of nature

  Awakening hour for every creature

  The air is so refreshing

  It's morning, it's morning

  See the charm of rising sun

  Watching trees and flowers is fun

  Beauty is to see, not to touch

  There is many to see and to feel so much

  The nature is in best symphony of rhyme

  Morning is the best time

  Walking on the dew cladded glass

  Walking through fields and temple you pass

  Farmers visiting their fields

  Toiling from dawn to dusk to increase yields

  The morning air is so heeling

  The cold breeze is so thrilling

  Enjoy morning, No matter what the season

  Staying in bed and missing, is there any reason

  Throughout the year get-up in the morning

  Get refreshed and forego yawning

  Make a habit of early rising before chime

  Enjoy it, morning is the best time

  Shashikant Nishant Sharma

  {Written during my stay at home suburb at Sonepur, Saran, Bihar in the year 2010 during a morning hour walk through pagdandi (paths created due to walking on a particular bunds) through fields.}

  Two Little Naughty Nephews

  The relations so emotional are few

  The poem dedicated to my nephew

  Two little nephews

  It's my personal views

  Two little kids full of energy

  They have a good synergy

  Talented, they are, I would say

  Always happy, merry making

  Very close they stay

  Like young calves of mother cow

  Remembering the moments now

  Computer games I never liked

  With them I do play

  I feel like child with child

  They do sketching and painting

  With colours, they keep on tainting

  Every piece of paper and wall

  Not every now and then, but I do call

  Talk on phone, during chatting

  Come soon, they keep on insisting

  Eager to show their painting

  Good children are result of good parenting

  They want me to listen

  Their rhymes learnt by rote

  Uttering like trained parrot

  Exiting moments await me

  Full of happiness and glee

  We eat together 

  We bathe together

  Go for evening walk

  For hours, we talk

  On little things

  Things that give pleasure

  Things that we do at leisure

  The moments spent with them

  So memorable and cherishable

  They may forget over time

  But how could I, joys of prime

  With me, the memories will linger

  Like a treasure

  Buried beneath the earth

  Memories full of pleasure

  And undiminishing mirth

  Shashikant Nishant Sharma

  {This was written when I planned to go home after along interval of time after completing bachelor of Planning from School of Planning and Architecture in May 2012.}

  Friendship: In Rhythm of Life

  In rhythm of life

  Full of many strife

  We find ourselves out of tune

  From momentary sorrow and pain

  No man is immune

  Friend is like umbrella in the rain

  The music of nature is in best

  In the company of friends when you rest

  Enjoy the life like a little parody

  Friends are here to provide melody

  Hold true friend with both your hands

  You will feel the bliss of nature in sea and sands

  Don't let go as true friend

  For relations may start and end

  Remember my dear, O my dear

  A true friend sees the first tear

  Catches the second... and stops the third

  Stands with you situation may be absurd

  A friend multiplies happiness and divides sorrow

  A deep friend is like colourful rainbow

  When the perfect amount of happiness and tears r mixed

  All differences big or small is then fixed

  And results in a colorful bridge between two hearts

  A new renovated and rejuvenated journey starts

  Thesis Thesis and Thesis

  Thesis thesis and thesis

  Thinking about it

  Whole day and night

  Do that do this

  The guide keeps on saying

  Change the sheet

  Tomorrow you meet

  You need to improve a lot

  A lot to do and what not

  Thinking about the topic

  Some get excited and some panic

  The whole 

  A month gone

  And nothing done

  I do know this

  Thesis, thesis and thesis

  The drama started

  'Thesis-Fever'

  A few months ago

  Remember remember 

  In the month of december

  We were asked to submit

  Three topics of our choice

  The vacation started

  A time to rejoice

  Two weeks' time gone 

  And nothing done

  Came the January

  We were in hurry

  Searching library

  Reading books

  Searching net

  In night so late

  To find something

  That interest most

  Got nothing but lost

  In the maze of thought

  What the hell 

  This semester brought

  In few days 

  Penned something

  So abstract and haze

  Three topics of our choice

  Listening to inner voice

  Explored the interest

  And topics matching best

  On one sanitation 

  Another on participation

  And the third one

  Delhi's green belt

  The search came to a halt

  On few discussions

  With faculty and friend

  Started elaborations

  On select topics

  And finally dilemma came to an end

  Got selected the topic 

  That came to mind second

  The faculty do your best 

  And leave the rest

  Time was for fun and frolic

  Another week gone

  And nothing much done

  Next review came and gone

  Discussing with guide and freind

  Improved and improved

  The layout and presentation

  The data interpretation

  Doing analysis

  And testing hypothesis

  Giving proposal at our disposal

  Gone is the so colossal

  Can't remember 

  How the semester came to an end

  And now all happy friend

  Time to rejoice and merry making

  Time ahead is just rocking

  Shashikan
t Nishant Sharma

  {Written in the month of April,2012 during the ending of last semester in which students have to complete a thesis on a topic on his/her choice at School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi}

  Freedom Does Mean

  Freedom doesn't mean

  You are free to do anything

  But it does mean

  You can do anything

  In your own fashion

  Provided your action

  Doesn't lead to reaction

  Doesn't encroach others right

  Freedom doesn't give you right

  Right to use you might

  To do what you think is right

  Freedom seeks from you

  You to be just in your action

  Unprejudiced in your view

  Freedom gives opportunity

  To capitalise your ability

  Freedom does demand responsibility

  From you

  To take freedom in right sense

  And don't do non-sense

  And become a nuisance

  To your society

  To your community

  To your country

  Freedom does mean

  You are not mean

  It seeks from you

  Respect others right

  Without duty no right

  Recipe for Friendship

  Take a cup of love

  A pinch of tolerance

  Add some enjoyment

  Pour a glass of affection

  And stir the solution

  With spoon of action

  Cook on the oven of interaction

  And after a time

  And you will your recipe

  Well cooked and ripe

  On testing the taste

  You will find the best

  Best of the all

  That is friendship

  Way of Thinking...

  We always see

  See things

  Through two lenses

  Positive view

  Or negative review

  Falling leaves

  Drying leaves

  Flying leaves

  All around us

  In the season of autumn

  A common view everywhere

  Here and there

  Falling leaves

  Can be seen

  Seen as the end of happiness

  The death of liveliness

  Or can be seen

  As the dawn of new season

  With good valid reason

  Time to rejoice

  Opportunity of choice

  To fall and die

  To fall and lie

  On the ground

  Remain composed

  And get decomposed

  To become

  Manure for new sapling

  New life in the spring

  Shashikant Nishant Sharma

  Falling Leaves...

  Falling leaves

  Drying of twigs

  Turning green trees

  Into standing still alone

  Like dead hanging skeleton

  Bed of dead leaves

  Creating manure for supplant

  For future plant

  For the tender sampling

  Waiting for rain

  To set alive again

  We can learn

  Learn from them

  Art of survival

  The mode of revival

  Shedding up off

  Unnecessary burden

  Making both ends meet

  With little of resource

  To join the marching fleet

  Taking rest at source

  To serve future

  Follow the rule of nature

  Learn from other's lives

  Like falling leaves

  Osho the Great Spiritual and Moral Leader of the World

  Osho the Great

  Osho the Great he is called

  High esteem he does command

  Among millions of followers

  Among great gurus and philosophers

  A man so brilliant and clever

  The humanity has witnessed ever

  One could hardly imagine

  A man existed without vice and sin

  With his philosophy of life

  He erased enmity and strife

  He relieved the mankind

  From scores of sufferings

  Lived life so simple

  To set an example

  For people to adopt and adapt

  He was worldly wise and heavenly apt

  Created a new culture, a way of life in the world

  Synthesizing invaluable and infallible ideas new and old

  Osho the Great he is called. . .

  Brought out the gold out of the coal of ignorance

  With knowledge and intelligence not by any chance

  To tap the untapped potential of mind

  Through his discourses and teachings

  One among the many preachers

  He presented his thinking with rationality

  He is best of the teachers

  Understands the mind’s criticality

  Presented great thoughts in simple stories

  People enjoyed listening to him forgetting worries

  A man who moved humanity with his rationality

  Crossing the geographic and thinking with rationality

  A man who threatened a mighty nation

  Not with force but due devotion

  Shook the very base of governance and economics

  His thoughts spread like epidemics

  Transforming man from materialism to spirituality

  Shedding the cladding of individuality

  The oneness of thought and inherent emotion

  Setting humanity in a new direction and motion

  Greatest of the debater and thinker

  He tried to transform and not tinker

  The adulterated mentality of thinking about quantity

  To thinking for reasons and the best of every quality

  Spoke out what he thought being bold

  Unfolding the mysteries of the world

  Osho the Great he is called. . .

  {Written in April, 2012 during my stay with Brajeshji, a stern follower of Osho and highly impressed by his due diligence to learn and adopt the teachings of Osho the Great. I have been privileged to have read and head his discourses}

  Lively Logics of Life

  Make peace with your past

  That it doesn't spoil your present

  What others think let them think

  Pen your ideas on paper with ink

  Let the knowledge in your heart sink

  Everything has a strong link

  Time heals almost everything

  Forget sorrow start to sing

  No one is the reason of your happiness

  You yourself make it more or less

  Don't compare your life with others

  You have No idea what their Journeys

  Remember it by dear brothers

  Knowledge alone can quench your queries

  Smile, you don't own all the problems in the World

  Manifest your thoughts some new and some old

  Life is not bed of roses

  But a path strewn with thorns

  Take laughter as regular doses

  Life is transient enjoy like popcorns
