YOU CAN ENJOY!

To be successful, happy, enjoy and peaceful in life, it’s very much accepted that money, status and owning at least a piece of land, jewelry and other materials are essential.

However cool breeze, sun rise and sun set, cloud patterns in the sky, waves in the sea, waterfalls and such things are enjoyed without owning them at all.

Look at celebrities. They are all VIPs. Though they clamor for huge fan following, the same fans following will become irritants when they are not able to enjoy the simple thing like a walk in their neighborhood!

We have lately equating success with monetary value of one’s possessions. However we are successful every moment we are able to inhale after that last exhalation! If not succeeding, we are definitely moving up on the stepping stone to success!

Spare a thought for all those accused in the spot fixing scam. They had everything – bagful of money, VIP status, owned quite a lot of materialistic comforts. Alas! They were not ethical and hence lost all peace!!!

So, here is a small poem which captures these thoughts;

YOU CAN ENJOY

YOU CAN ENJOY

WITHOUT OWNING ANYTHING

YOU CAN BE HAPPY

YOU CAN BE HAPPY

WITHOUT BEING A VIP

YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL

YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL

EVEN THOUGH MONEY IS NOT BAG FULL

YOU CAN BE PEACEFUL

YOU CAN BE PEACEFUL

ONLY IF YOU ARE ETHICAL!!!

PARTING

Parting is a 

Part of life

Every time we

Part

From one stage 

Of life 

Do not think you are

Apart

But

A part of next stage

Of life

Then life is a continuous

Partying.

YOU ARE MY VALENTINE

Though it is a small grain
Oyster suffers with immense pain
But Oyster treats the grain as its valentine
So that we can present the pearls to our valentine

Scorching Sun evaporates the Ocean
Nevertheless
Ocean treats the Sun as its valentine
Resulting in cloud and rain
So that with our valentine, we can reach the cloud nine

We think, the people of other caste, colour and creed
Bring upon immense pain
We think, the people of other language, region and religion
Are pushing our culture into the ravine

Is it not the nature that nourishes all
Has many things in different proportion?
Teaching us to make everyone as our valentine
So that we can enjoy being on cloud nine
It’s rain of pearls even on the way down
And the resulting rainbow, bridging the ravine!
You are my Valentine!!!

Teacher And The Stick

Good teachers hold the stick

But never uses it to beat the student who does not work 

Taps it on the floor, board and bench

To garner the attention of every student 

Uses it as a support to lean on And shows the different emotions 

Points out the rights and wrongs committed 

And directs towards the path To which the student is destined 

Even the little push made now and then 

encourage the student to fly over the moon 

Good teachers hold the stick Only as a magic wand 

To turn every student Into an 'anmol' Diamond. ____________________________________________________________

The Sunset

The Sunset

The beautiful golden color sun
Getting ready to descend down the horizon
Through the tall trees that were green
An artistic experiment was going on
On the nearby and far off clouds
Which was divine

The blue sky was the grand canvas
With innumerable color combination
When the sun finally descended down

Even the dark clouds were shining with silver line
Reminding us of the coming bright sun shine
At the end of the darkness that was rushing in
