The time bound relevance

  The grandfather’s death anniversary

  Was observed by my father till he lived.

  Now it’s no more emotional to us.

  So is the Independence Day to us now.

  Rely On You.

  While you play a game, you don’t pray to God.

  While you play a sport, you don’t think of Him.

  While you play, you play to your potential.

  Your life is your play; must you spend in God?

  No Time To Serve

  Entertainments extract most time.

  Sports and games exhaust energy.

  Manpower is spent without growth.

  Man has no time for fellow men.

  Freedom to India

  Freedom to the people

  Who lack strength to support

  Or defend it outright

  Is perilous to them.

  Freedom of the adult

  Is not fit to the child.

  Vincent Churchill was against

  Granting freedom to India.

  Should I say he is right,

  I am not a patriot.

  One’s Loftiness

  One buys or spends to impress others liked

  Or to not impress those who are disliked.

  To buy or spend for one’s personal taste

  Comes only next and thus comes one’s loftiness.

  Causes Of Divorces

  Growing with siblings toughens tolerance.

  Bringing up children strengthens one’s patience.

  As a lone child from the family planning,

  People are sensitive to break relations.

  The Smooth Transition

  .

  Grant me loss, but sustainably.

  Cause me pains, but tolerably.

  Give me shocks but bearably.

  Take me, Lord, being unaware.

  Give me blows, not violently.

  Send me down, not abruptly.

  Wear me out, not drastically.

  Take me, Lord, without any clue.

  The Secret About The Secret

  A secret is a burden to carry.

  To keep it under a seal is a worry.

  Share a secret that is much disturbing,

  With someone discrete and understanding.

  Burry a secret of who matters you,

  If it is harmful in revelation.

  Hide not a secret from one close to you,

  Even if it can harm relationships

  As learning it from someone can harm more

  Especially when it is deductible.

  Hold a secret about an insult you got.

  Hold a secret about others’ weakness.

  A man of secret would maroon himself.

  A woman of secret would seclude herself.

  The Mother Superior

  The mother, whose love is for you,

  Will never leave you

  Because there are many reasons

  To give up,

  But will find, somehow, one reason

  To hold on.

  An orphan.

  Observe, Instead Of Musing.

  On your way when you are idle,

  Don’t spend your time in just thinking,

  Which might land you in anxieties.

  Instead, indulge in observation

  Of what would be around you there,

  By which you learn new things unseen

  And keeps you in tranquility.

  To observe is to concentrate.

  Be Not Below A Beggar.

  Don’t sell service; don’t sell information.

  Don’t sell knowledge if you have other means.

  If you do, you’ll earn only bitterness

  And place yourself lower than a beggar.

  Heads And Tails

  A head has more options to choose from

  And more loads to carry, also with risks.

  A tail has a few options, less loads.

  To lead without any load is man’s wish.

  To evolve without efforts is man’s wish.

  He wants choices without confusions.

  Be a head or a tail as it suits

  Rather than as you wish to become.

  Heads fan egos and tails sleep safely.

  Bear With Children.

  Don’t curse your children for their negligence

  Be Fair Yet.

  To expect one to be fair to you

  Because you are fair to the one is

  To expect a dog not to bite you

  Because you don’t intend to bite it.

  Lives consist of preys and predators.

  Be fair yet and be cautious as well.

  Woes Of The old Continue.

  Desires shrinking, fear looming,

  The old ones are left to themselves.

  The old are not heard when they moan

  Unlike children whose cries are answered.

  Isolation tortures the old.

  Humiliations maim the old.

  Neglects are borne without murmur.

  Body-pains are borne without anger.

  I did not know till I grew old

  How my grandpa felt his old age

  And how my parents felt their woes.

  No Way Is Ever Good.

  And landed in the tooth decay.

  Don’t Count Before Hatching.

  Who would be there to help me in the end?

  When would be those fatal days for my end?

  Not to take chances, I extra pleased them:

  Aunts and uncles; brothers and sisters;

  Sons and daughters; more their children.

  Even nieces and nephews were not spared.

  Friends and neighbours were picked to add in the list.

  I did not harvest any seeds I’d sown

  As either they left me or I left them.

  I pass my end alone in an asylum.

  Exercises Wasteful

  To convey in dances

  The plays of the gods

  He played for himself; he used his best skills.

  He amazed huge wealth; he stuck to the game

  By getting a long rope from the selectors,

  And at last quit it quite unwillingly.

  He is the youngest to receive the crown

  And the first sports person to receive it.

  He is not to blame. Then who is to blame?

  He has been conferred the highest honour.
