THE RAIN

When the sky is covered with rain clouds,
my heart leaps with happiness and then,
the drops start to fall from the heaven,
takes me to those days of my boyhood.

Still hear the whistling sound from the bushes,
near the pond from the guys an invitation,
to celebrate the monsoon along with water
to swim towards a world of ecstasy.

Herons and storks were waiting patiently,
on the edges of the water filled paddy fields,
shivering in drizzling continue their fishing
dreaming a delightful dinner for the day.

Under the umbrella of the clouds the earth,
would Lie like a lady in her green wet clothes,
then the western wind would blow towards
her to present his diamond laced shawl

Standing at the threshold of my native house,
I would witness their union through the veil,
of the rain, shaking the trees here and there,
he would return from our village with pleasure.

The children would run to pick up the mangoes,
lying scattered under the mango trees, then,
our elder brothers were making their minds,
to serve a monsoon dinner to cherish friendship

Those days are gone away monsoon has come again,
time has changed everything except the rain,
still it is pouring from the heights harmoniously,
presenting me the reward of a sweet childhood.

LOVE MAKES MIRACLES

Which is the most beautiful thing of this world? I think it is difficult to answer this question. Since beauty is relative, it depends on the situations. It varies from minds to minds. We can feel the beauty of this world through our senses. What I like, you don't. Even then, we can feel an equality, if I say in a broad sense, unity in diversity in everything, if we use our senses properly. We decorate a prominent place among all living beings of this earth. Our brain is so strong in decision making, planning, making inventions, exploring the unknowns. But what about our approaches.

      If we have good approaches and selections, the world would not be like this. We spend more time for disputes, never give a chance for adjustments. We are not ready to hear from others. We want to become first always forgetting whether we are merited or not. We want only our children to win the game and do anything for it forgetting the ethics of a healthy competition. We smile, artificially. We don't know the real meaning of an honest smile. We don't know who is our neighbour, for the reason we are busy, perhaps pretends so. It is very easy to blame on time. We make mistakes and want to justify it. We have forgotten to make good relationships. Instead of it, we blame, hurt, separate and kill. We don't know how to love. Selfishness has covered our minds. 

We make walls to part this society. We have grouped ourselves. We have forgotten about that beautiful culture, its essence like the elixir trying to light up our hearts to see this entire world as a single family. We are not aware about it. We are not so broad about it. We work, only for us. We must work for the betterment of this society. We must help others. This world belong to everyone here. Each living being has its own right to live here. What we need is a good mind to understand the real warmth of love. Mother earth has created everything beautifully. We must understand this. Whatever be the cast, religion, nation, never bother about it. Love each other. Only love can make miracles here. We are all brothers and sisters. Never forgot it. We can assemble on this courtyard for a better tomorrow. 

LET US MAKE OUR LIVES BEAUTIFUL...............

One's life is so precious. The journey that connects birth and death, may have ups and downs, bends and twists. Whatever it may be, one should approach each moment so positively. Being positive helps a lot to make the life beautiful.  Never hurt others. Learn the lessons of true love. Always replace hatred by sincere love. Using the elixir of love, strengthen the relations. Be satisfied with what we have and never upset for what we doesn't have. Being patient and humble, by uttering good words. being a good listener, having a mind to help others let us make  our lives beautiful.

Being jealousy and selfish, what will be the reward a man is going to get. I think nothing. Instead keep the right track of virtue. Millions of people are here. Among which we know about, sometimes below hundred. 

Here anyone can do one thing. Can love the hundred people. Can start loving his neighbors. Can offer a helping mind. If each and every person on this earth is doing like this, no doubt, our world may become a paradise of love. There starts the origin of a new world, a world without discrimination. 

We may differ from each other by personality, language, dressing style, complexion, rituals, belief etc., Whatever it may be let us do one thing. Let us discover the heavenly beauty of UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

The differences is only in appearance. But we are all having the same heart. We can fill our heart with essence of love. We can try to see everyone as our brothers and sisters. We can do our best to make this world as like a native house where our beloveds are live in. 

We have freedom. We have the right to select our own life style. But before our selection we must think that we are not alone. We have a family. We have a society. We have someone to protect. WE ARE THE GUARDIAN ANGELS OF SOMEONE. Hence think twice before doing something. Look carefully before each step. A good step, a good decision, a good work, a good word has a good result. Therefore select such a life style, which may light the lamp of goodness. 

LIFE IS LIKE…….

Life is like a precious treasure

Only when we live for making

Others dream a reality.

Life is like a love song

Only when we share our hearts

Without expectations

Life is like an eternal flame

Only when we devote our lives

For the betterment of mankind

Life is like a beautiful rose

Only when we smile for others

To make them always happy

Life is like a heavenly garden

Only when we start walking

Through the path of virtue

Let us say life is beautiful

Only when we try to know 

Others in the name of love

SHADOWS…………….

              The winter lanterns are glowing

              Through the curtain of mist

              The breeze carries white drops of snow

              To paint the evening with silver

              The road goes towards the horizon

              Disappears in the woods where,

              The night stitches her magic gown,

              For her dance with the shadows

              Venus and stars made ornaments

              The moon weaves the veil for her

              The sky braids her hair with clouds

              Gives a lining of silver appliqué

              Long shadows like hags awaits her

              For the show stretches their sharp claws

             Circles and circles like a tornado,

             Welcome her in a mood of delirium.

             The frenzied spirits hide behind the shadows

              Demand for their part in the performance,

              Takes out their magic wands and whirl it

              To mesmerise for coming their side

              When the twilight starts to perch

              In the vestibule of the night

              The long shadows like an octopus

              Covers the land to make their world

              Their sovereignty only last for night,

              When the dawn awakens in the east

              With his golden casket from the sleep

              Drives away those shadows from the sight.

               

THE TRAIN

              This train comes always slow

              But goes very fast,

              Have many destinations,

              But never stops for a moment,

              No guard, no signals

              Red and green has nothing to do

              Easy to predict its arrival

              Nothing can say about the end.

              Never obeys orders,

              For keeping a time schedule,

              It comes from very farther

              Going towards unknown future

              Who will be a way farer?

              The destiny makes it clear.

              Comforts of the journey,

              The works decide it well.

              Anyone will be on board,

              At any time from anywhere

              It is not on one’s wish

              It is the driver who decide

              While looking out beyond time

              One may feel three phases of time,

              The events with which he attached

              Determines always the results

              May have permission to play a game,

              May be honoured with a reward,

              One may feel as in heaven or hell,

              Depending how the rules he obeyed

              To get a seat of contentment,

              One should have some blessings,

              Love and patience value for this,

              Have it by a pure mind.

LIVE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

To where this world is going on today. To where the time is leading us. Are we losing our morals? Love and kindness is giving sideway to hatred and revenge. A peaceful life on this earth becomes a dream. Everybody is longing for a peaceful life. Does it mean violence and the sequence of bomb blasts? The minds are burning here for unknown reasons. Especially of the youth. Everybody is having their own justifications. But the truth is hidden somewhere else. To whom we should blame for all these. The awakening of a new era will bring back the serenity. Let’s wait.

              Don’t cry my child:

              How can I give you solace?

              Someone will be there in this world,

              Only for to love you.

              Seeing tears on your cheeks

              My heart is paining oh dear,

              There will be a day of hope

              A day of love and peace

              Stars are shining in the sky

              Where is the guiding star?

              To show the birth of a prophet

              May he come to sing a song of love?

The people here are grouped into several compartments. Cast, color, creed, religion and other social factors which influence this segregation. The man made boundaries and walls cause social discriminations.  When the hearts are filled with selfishness, the minds become very narrow and it is easy to sow the evil seeds of communalism, racialism, terrorism and it will negatively affect the healthy growth of a society. Never allow for it. To make this world beautiful we should act sincerely. Love is a powerful weapon to make every body link together. Why should we forget this? To light a lamp in the darkness and a deed of kindness have better results.  One should understand this and to walk towards the light of virtue.

              Singing a song for you,

              And you sing with me too,

              A song for the day,

              A song for tomorrow           

             

              The raging minds search an evil spirit

              Pervades everywhere its evil powers,

              The bells of death are ringing

              Breaking the silence of peace.

              Wake up my world from your sleep

              It is the time for good deeds

              Do something special always

              To block the storm of hatred

Everybody has the same right to live here. Nobody is superior or inferior to each other. Even then we are sowing the seeds of hatred here. Friendship and relationship has become meaningless. Why is it so? Secessionism and the state of anarchy may lead to the total destruction of human race. We must be very careful about this. To take a harvest of love, we should saw the seeds of love. Love makes lives meaningful. Love and patience can heal the wounds of the minds. We must love each other. We must share good thoughts and feelings and thus help our community to cherish.

              Waiting for the spring

              To write a lovely song

              To tell you not that way

              Come on this way of love

              They, those veterans made here

              Trails leading to heaven,

              Someone is making here

              Paths lead to hell.

              Follow the paths of our ancestors

              Sustain the tranquility on earth.

              See a friend everywhere

              Never an enemy to hate

              Burry those trifle things of jealousy

              That makes you uneasy for ever

              Here are the flags of peace

              Makes this land a paradise.

Imperialism and colonization had made this world to suffer a lot. The time witnessed for two great wars. Thousands were died and thousands became orphans.  The brutality of wars wiped out precious souls from here. Always the helpless losses a lot. Never support wars, support peace and love. Hundreds of countries are here. Each one is having their own culture and civilization. We should respect each other. We should love our neighbors. Our ancient civilization and heredity clearly reveals the success of truth and love. One must be truthful to his consciousness, to his society, to his nation and to the world. As like little drops of water makes the mighty ocean, each individual makes a society. As like we love our families, we must love this entire world. We must try to see the whole world as a compound family.

              Once again he will come

              To take us to a new dawn

              To teach us the lessons of love

              To make our lives beautiful

              As a guiding star he will lead us

              To a world of ecstasy 

              To a world of serenity

              To a world without discriminations

              To a world filled with fragrance of love

              You may ask about his existence

              Whether he is a mere imagination of the mind

              Whatever, he is on his way

              To spell a word to our fingers

              The precious word of love

              Since we have become deaf and dumb

Man is a social being. We can not live here without depending others. We should love our neighbors. We must have a heart to listen the problems of others. Nobody born here as culprits. It is his backgrounds or situations that make him as it is. All the problems are originated due to certain causes. Once the causes are cleared there are no questions of problems.  Without expecting anything we should help others. Never do anything harmful to others. Instead starts to wipe out the tears of the needy, heal the wounds of this world using love as a medicine. If we start loving our neighbors, no doubt the world will change into heaven of love.

              Rise brothers the apt time to act has come,

              The world is seeking your presence

              To heal the wounds with love

              To mould her for a better tomorrow

              Stretch your hands for the needy one

              A helping hand for the scared

              To lighten their souls free of fear

              To make them your own friends

              Allow them to share a smile with you

              Give them your heart to forget sorrows

              Bring back those repenting souls for,

              Being taken a birth on this earth

              To your own world as one among you.
