Beginning is the End!

You cannot hold in your hand
Thousands of flowers.
But you can hold a seed
That can produce thousands of flowers.

Awareness is the seed.
Morals, good deeds are the flowers.
Don’t pick up the flowers.
Care the seed.

Get engaged.
You are away from yourself.
Be free from all doings.
You are yourself.

While people sleep
With opened eyes,
You can be awake
Even in sleep.

Find all.
Still you are a beggar.
Find yourself.
You are a billionaire.

When will it rain?
You cannot decide.
When you will flower
Is so.

Blow your ego.
Bigger and bigger.
It will burst one day
To make your delivery.

Thinker is the thought.
Searcher is the searched.
Treasure is the seeker.
Runner is the destination.

Be Happy to be happy!

While a boy, I cried for toy.
I thought it would give me joy.

I fried myself and tried for distinction in study.
I thought, it was my sole goal for whole joy.

I boiled myself burning the midnight oil to be the Man of soil with govt.job
I thought, the professional Sun would shine for my joy even after retirement.

I lost myself, found only the half and searched for the other half.
I thought, my dear better half would turn my bitter half a better half.

I was first mild, then wild for a child.
I thought, the little angel would drop me in the seventh heaven.

My desires boomed and zoomed for a home.
I thought, it would build and shower stable pleasures into my soul.

I fought a financial war and won a high class car.
I thought, I would travel beyond the miseries of  middle class.

On a snowy evening,
I cooled myself and felt,
Time fooled me.

My child laughed for no reasons.
I laughed at myself for more reasons.
Someone whispered in me -
"Be Happy to be happy."

I’m prepared and Secured!

I’m prepared
I bought groceries for a month.
I got one extra gas cylinder.
No worries about food.
I’m prepared.

I insured my life.
I insured my bike and car.
My better half won’t suffer.
I’m prepared.

I’m prepared!
I raised my bank balance.
I got ICSE admission for my kids.
I bought houses
One for us, one for my son, one for my daughter.
Who knows? They may go jobless.
They may go beggars;
Or turn handicapped;
Or go insane.
Or the same may happen to me.
I’m prepared.

I’m prepared.
I have spares in everything.
Extra pen for exam.
Extra tyre in my car for emergency.
Extra power – ups for home.
Extra dresses for my wetting kids.
Extra money in purse for the unexpected.
My wife’s sister is also at home.
Spare means “being prepared”.
I’m prepared.

I sweated and obtained
Death certificate for my father,
Birth certificate for my kids,
Marriage certificate for me,
Community certificate for my siblings.
And I have,
Ration card, voter id, aadhaar card.
I’m prepared.

To be prepared means to be secured!
I have an alphanumeric password
For my internet banking.
For my e-mail account.
For my mobile, my another better half.
I have CCTV camera.
My house is secured.
My office is secured.
I have salaried securities as well.
You know, I’m fully secured.

Oh Ignorant Bird! Oh Helpless Fish!
You can’t think like me ahead of time.
You don’t have my sixth sense
And my secured future.
I’m prepared and secured.

“Who is there knocking at my door?”
Asked I.
“Are you prepared? It’s time to go.”
An Unknown Voice Heard.

A satire on knowledge

Knowledge is ugly.
Children who have no knowledge
Are beautiful.
We love them, their each word, each movement,
Their each question, their each joyful play,
Soaked with innocence, and zero knowledge.
Knowledge stole that beauty from us.
Knowledge is UGLY.

Knowledge is evil.
How many sins, How many times!
Knowledge tempted me.
Showed me better ways
To go astray.
Knowledge is EVIL.

Knowledge is an obstacle.
The ego of “I Know”
Stole my interest to learn.
Stole my interest to listen.
Raised a Wall against my Intuition.
Knowledge is an OBSTACLE.


Knowledge is not power.
Knowledge is my weakness,
The feast of My Ego,
The soul of my chattering mind,
The shadow of my past and hence
The source of my woes.
The enemy of my consciousness.

Knowledge is a Cheat.
The knowledge that
“Knowledge is power”
Cheated me
And made me thirsty.
Knowledge is a CHEAT.
