GODS WILL

No soulmate to share your joys and sorrows ,

Drown your sorrows in your own  tears ,

Swim alone happily  in your joys ,

Make the best of your life ,

You have no choice.

This life is gods gift to you ,

Listen closely to his voice .

You came here alone , you will go back alone 

May God give you enough  courage and strength ,

To endear this life's  waves to any length .

Have faith in God's  will ,

It will give you divine bliss .

He will show you the path to happiness .

A SAFE COUNTRY FOR WOMEN

When will the day come  in  my country ,

When women will live without fear,

Travel alone  with full courage any place far or near .

Have faith in our guardians of law and order ,

So that uncouth citizens fear to cross the descent  border .

When will the day come in my country ,

When no girl child will be sacrificed before or after birth,

The men will realize the women's real worth ,

They will treat them with respect and equality in all fields of life ,

Wether she is a student , working woman or a housewife

When will the day come in my country ,

When girls are safe given the same liberty like  boys ,

Wether its in their education ,what they wear  or what they voice ,

Their freedom like boys does not create public noise.

They are allowed to live their life as per their choice .

When will the day come in my country ,

Where  goddesses are worshipped and offered prayer,

But the women are mentally and physically  abused without any care ,

To give them their birthright demands  ,same as the men share ,

So that they get equal opportunities ,to do what they dare .

The day will come ,when we all awaken our inner souls,

Unite , act and raise our  voices enough to reach our  set goals .

FLIGHT TO HEAVEN

Oh ! what a cold breezy morning it was,

The wind was blowing with all its might ,

There seemed enough reason for me to pause,

Suddenly the strong wind lifted me up in flight ,

it steered me up and up into the clear blue sky ,

Lo and behold ,defying  gravity  I began to fly .

A girl flying like a bird was  just unheard ,

First I made friends with the chirpy birds,

They taught me how to keep my arms furled,

Lovingly ,they hovered   around me in herds ,

They flew in disciplined formations to the west ,

While I kept soaring up and up to view the rest .

Scaling more heights I reached fairyland ,

The beauty around was a sight to see,

The fairies welcomed me playing a music band ,

The fairy queen bowed to me in great glee,

She then waved her golden star wand towards me ,

We sang and danced together  ,feeling very free .

A lovely decorated carriage came my way ,

I jumped on it and it took me to heaven ,

Heaven was lighted ,shining and gay,

 I spotted happiness and satisfaction within ,

 Closely  followed by love , faith and trust,

 No signs  suggestive  of anger or lust.

 Ego ,violence ,hate and jealousy were  dead ,

 Peace ,and love were rejoicing  on their demise ,

Joy  had been elected as heavens ruling head ,

Forgiveness and apology  were honored with a prize.

Equality and respect never left their side ,

They all looked so pure ,with nothing to hide.

Looking down ,I could hardly see the ground ,

I prayed "God make heaven my new abode,"

Life here is  full of divine bliss around ,

Oh ! how difficult it will be to switch to earth mode ,

My heart desires love ,joy and peace ,

Heaven is  where I will get all this with great ease .

REMEMBERING THE DAYS WE DIDN'T TALK

Remembering the days  we didn't talk to each other ,

 I knew you always loved me more then yourself,

Despite that we often fought  amongst ourselves,

With those  hot and cold wars life spiced up by itself .

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

My sulking at not taking me to my favorite movie,

Despite my pleading "you will like it ,it's really groovy"

You  got absorbed in your book ,saying "I am are very choosy"

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

I was busy preparing for my  conference presentation,

Having no time to cook dinner as per your temptation,

You expressed regrets at marrying me with full frustration .

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

You forgot to take the children for dinner to the club,

I was busy in the hospital,the children had ,had no grub,

My busy work schedule ,many a times you snubbed.

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

The day you scheduled your departmental dinner meeting,

You had no time even to wish me a happy birthday greeting,

I cried and cried myself to sleep without even eating !!

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

We had made all plans during our vacation  to visit a hill station,

Suddenly our plans were cancelled  as you forgo your vacation ,

Saying it was in the interest of maintaining a good colleague relation .

Remembering  the days we didn't talk  to each other,

Despite all this , we always made up with each other .

We knew we couldn't stay long  apart with such cold vibes,

To make up ,sometimes  we even had to use  sweet and loving bribes !!! 

Today ,remembering  all this  brings  a smile on my face,

Something's were so silly , my mind just can't erase .

FIRST DATE

Those days were  really great ,

Our first real date ,

Walking together keeping a distance,

Trying hard to  keep it consistent.

Wishing our destination would  never come ,

So that we could go on walking  together keeping mum,

But in no time we reached the coffee cafe,

In our hearts we said "why wasn't it still far away".

Sitting together we both felt abashed ,

With my awkward movements the coffee cup crashed,

It was a disaster when it spilled on his lovely shirt ,

"I'm  extremely sorry ",  was all I  could blurt .

He smiled in return and caught my hand ,

And teasingly said "so this is what you had planned!"

"We will have to now come back  for coffee once again ".

"I will always cherish and keep this love stain ".

We silently walked back to my hostel , hand in hand,

On reaching  he said " thanks,can we go out together again"

We knew we were in love ,I spontaneously asked "when?"

We gave each other a passionate loving stare then .

Those days were really great ,

My love ,my best friend ,my soulmate .

A. REPUBLIC DAY MESSAGE

26th January 1950 the first Republic day of India,

On this day was formulated the constitution of India ,

In our country with the worlds largest democracy ,

Our  constitution had no place for  bureaucracy ,

Neither was there any mention  of autocracy .

Over the years we  struggled to achieve our goals ,

But  as time went by  the public lost its controls,

Because many a  politicians and bureaucrats  had sold their souls .

Our tricolor flag  gives us great messages to encourage ,

Saffron  a holy color,  symbol of sacrifice and courage .

White a color depicting truth, peace and purity ,

Green  the color of our plants on the  farms ,the nations  prosperity ,

The blue Ashoka chakra in the middle with its 24 spokes in clarity ,

 Is the wheel of the law of dharma for our benefits and solidarity,

Reminding us that truth and virtue are to be practiced in all sincerity ,

How we all wish that we follow these teachings in utmost regularity .

But it is indeed a sad scene that we see on the move ,

The saffron  renunciation  ,majority don't approve ,

Violence has replaced peace ,though most of us  disapprove,

The green farmers plight  is continuously being charred,

They are striving very hard  ,still most of them are scarred ,

Corruption has become the national symbol  of the day,

Truth ,sincerity and good virtues have been given a holiday ,

Life is cheap,values are lost,  greed  and lust are rampant  everyday ,

The  common man is fighting continuously to avoid his doomsday .

Who can save us form this hell created in our very own  holy land?

Arise oh sleeping citizens from your slumber and give forth your hand ,

Let us all unite and  destroy these demons of  greed ,violence and lust,

To live a life free of fear and full of freedom this task is a must.

To prosper as a nation we cannot sacrifice our virtues and morality ,

We all need to pledge to stay away  from such vices  in all practicality,

And to have enough courage to expose such demons to keep up our  glorious nationality.

दुआएँ  सब  की  लेती  जा  बिटिया  रानी,

ससुराल  में  घुल  जाना  जैसे  शकर  में  पानी । 

जब   आया   हमारे  जाने  का  समय ,

बहुत   बुरा   लगा  ,रोने   लगा  ह्रदय ,

अब  फिर  सब  से  बिछड़  रहे  थे  हम,

जाने  कब  परदेस  से    िफर  आ  सकेंगे  हम ।
