Children mischiefs

Children mischiefs, they are sweet,

making us smiles, a lovely treat

the innocent acts, capricious feet,

being impulsive, with their curiosity. 

Trying to grab, feel the things,

mouth them, or had a pinch,

experience with their senses, 

learning about their surroundings. 

Still, they need monitoring, 

keep from away, from dangers,

encourage acts, with surveillance, 

as they gain skills & confidence. 

Yet, we sometimes forget,

teaching them manners & respect,

creating boundaries, in interactions, 

with the persons or natural world. 

For, they don’t understand the gravity,

of harm committed, under their capacity,

to lesser lives, weak & fragile,

being vulnerable, to their playfulness. 

Children mischiefs... 

Let them remain sweet,

and not become misbehavior, 

turning into something evil,

for us, or the environment. 

Give credit, where it's due

Give credit, where it's due,

have space, for other's view,

an open communication guides,

when we need sincere review. 

For, it's not in the domination,

wisdom lies in the reflections,

between minds, having conversations, 

not our pride, making opinions. 

Children quarrel over belongings, 

adult are responsible, allow sharing, 

there's imperfections & shortcomings, 

but amicable solutions, are receptive. 

Unless, you have vested intentions, 

stopping from making concessions, 

playing game, of holding possession, 

having control, over the narrations. 

But remember, it has consequence, 

there's a limit, in faking confidence, 

your actions, have grave repercussions, 

depending on your power and positions! 

So, give credit, where it's due,

if your purpose, are genuine,

with goodwill, for your surrounding, 

nurture respect, empathy and compassion. 

Do we hear them snap

Do we hear them snap,

Crack,

cRack,

  crAck,

    craCk,

      cracK,

formed in social fabrics,

as relationships crashed...

Slowly, steadily, falling apart,

as each day, we would depart,

from values, which we inherited, 

once treasured, in our hearts! 

Did we let fissures develop,

with gloom, slowly envelop,

affecting economy, and relations,

making it difficult, maintain status quos...

And it hampers, future prospects,

facing extortion, in every aspect,

putting pressures in our lives,

mentally, socially, financially...

Till we surrender or escape! 

Can we hear, the bubbling rage,

Drop,

dRop,

   drOp,

     droP,

ready to burst open,

like an incoming storm,

taking away the stability,

a false sense of control...

Random incidents having pattern,

flowing towards specific direction,

breaking rules and regulations, 

bringing chaos, destroying harmony. 

Could we see the signs,

of moral, and ethical decline,

out of greed, hatred, lust or pride,

desperations, thinning the line...

For, we witness, a rise in crimes,

people disillusioned, with their lives,

humanity suffers, slowly resigns,

as we rebel, against nature's design!

Insurance

Insurance... 

It's a safety net,

that help us prevent,

any untoward events, 

leading us into despair. 

For, life is uncertain, 

a journey of twists and turns,

we have to weather the storms,

facing hardships, difficult challenges. 

So, we seek protection, 

investing in precautions, 

mitigating risks and concerns,

safeguarding personal interests. 

And it gives us assurance,

from small price, paid in advance, 

instilling confidence, we could embark,

in life's journey, with peace in heart. 

Insurance... 

It's a wonderful concept,

if the terms were transparent, 

letting us contribute our share,

without any guilt or regrets. 

Of providing assistance,

rather than debts!

Dear Lord Ganesha

Dear Lord Ganesha, 

welcome to our hearts,

in our homes, schools, professions, 

as we chant in prayers, your glory,

and wish, for divine blessings. 

Buddhi and Siddhi, your consort,

signify the gifts, as devotees forte,

invoking your name, and lessons,

gaining the clarity, with wisdom.

Dear Lord Ganesha,

beloved child of Shiva-Parvati,

first among people & deities, 

please keep your kind gaze,

among us ignorant & inexperienced. 

Vighnaharta, remover of obstacles, 

illuminate our lives with knowledge, 

as we adopt virtues and qualities, 

for attaining successes & prosperity.

Dear Lord Ganesha,

we celebrate your arrival,

with offerings of our devotions,

as fruits, sweets and flowers,

and favorites, Modak & Laddoo.

Let there be joy and smiles,

and teachings, inspiring intelligence, 

we worship, books, pen & workspace,

as embodiment of your presence. 

I have collections, my dear...

I have collections, my dear...

Being made, specially for you,

accumulated over the time, 

from the dreams, I pursued. 

In the phases, of my life,

I brought, following a drive, 

with enthusiasm, and delights,

waiting for a chance to invite. 

I have collections, my dear...

Hidden from the peering eyes,

containing wishes of my hearts,

to share interests, things I love. 

Some forgotten, faded from memories,

others too close, becoming part of me,

seeking an understanding and support, 

from the one, I truly feel connected. 

I have collections, my dear...

Made sacrifices, hold them near,

still, I am concerned, and I fear,

facing rejections, falling in despair... 

When my efforts, were ignored, 

I might suffer, from disappointments, 

losing the very spark, that excites,

when I gathered, for future time.

From my window

From my window,

I watched outside, 

looking at them play,

with broad smile,

So, I let out a sigh... 

Look at them go,

jumping over the road,

playing games on whims,

or holding hands on sides,

enjoying the season's rise... 

The streets are lively,

and food looks delicious, 

those clothes are gorgeous,

oh, some going for adventures, 

travelling to wonderful places... 

They seem so fortunate,

to attain things I desired,

being brave, taking those risks,

experiencing the highs of adrenaline,

without fears, breaking their will! 

From the windows, 

I would watch outside,

grooming self, with a pride,

feeling secure and comfortable, 

in this cage, I built inside... 

And I wondered what I am yearning ?

Economics of relations

Understand the economics,

of relations we have carved,

to be mindful of our ways,

and not fall into the traps,

letting our bond, falling apart! 

For every mistake we make,

all the anger, discontent bred,

spewing poison through throats,

building hatred, in our thoughts,

for the feeling, of being vindicated. 

It might have been justified,

having evidences of the lapses,

while frustrations keeps building,

for, their actions are incorrigible, 

failing to reform, or repent. 

Yet, we might not realize,

they're too small of a price,

to be paid, for the stability,

and peace, of their mind,

for a happy, & healthy relationship. 

So, understand the economics,

have discussions, convey our sides,

but never disrespect, or abuse,

in the promotion, of our cause,

forming fissures, in cordial relations! 

And, we should ask ourselves...

Could we afford that price?

Don't show me dreams

Don't show me dreams,

I have muffled the screams,

of once soaring ambitions,

to reach heights of creation. 

I have relinquished the claim,

on the glittery world of fame,

for, I seek deeper connections,

away from the routine interactions. 

Forgive me, I might be passive,

never too eager, for being decisive,

it would frustrate, sway intentions, 

discouraging efforts, becoming disillusioned. 

I get stubborn, overthinking situations,

just a cynic, wearing the realist mask,

yet, there's truth, even in my denials,

seeking the path, of things eternal. 

Don't show me the dreams,

if you aren't committed fully,

after deliberating, pros & cons,

convincing, with your reasons. 

And, I will surrender,

conquered by your assurance,

opening doors of my heart,

allowing the bliss....

Of dreaming again!

Choose your elixir

Pick your poison, they say,

forcing us with difficult choices,

and we comply, ready to abide,

caught between rock & a hard place... 

For, we have missed the boat,

there's nothing left to salvage,

having to go through the motions,

after being boxed into a corner. 

But, I would like to defer,

let these challenges not deter,

as they are blessings in disguise, 

if we could weather the storm. 

Know which way, the wind blows,

and get the show, on the roads,

keep trying, come rain or shines, 

every cloud, has a silver lining. 

So, choose your elixir... 

Put your best foot forward,

and rise, to the occasion, 

to pass with flying colors,

then, sky is the limit!

Nature is resilient

Nature is resilient,

thriving in challenging places,

if they remain untouched,

from human interferences... 

In the deepest of oceans,

to tallest of the mountains,

and extremes of the temperatures,

won't deter their presence. 

We have seen many examples,

in lands remote, being abandoned, 

where vegetations take over,

building their ecosystems. 

Even in the site of disasters,

atmosphere poisoned with chemicals, 

being contaminated with radiations,

killing everyone within the radius. 

Still, species have rebounded,

surviving sickness and mutations,

having developed genetic adaptations, 

evolving through natural selections. 

For, nature is resilient, 

waiting for conductive environment,

where impact of humanity is minimal,

letting biodiversity flourish, for generations. 

An empty chair

An empty chair... 

It still remembers, 

holding your reflections, 

there's voice, in the silence, 

it's not just unconscious projections,

but a deeper connection... 

It speaks of bygone days,

filled with colorful moments, 

spending time in your company, 

listening to countless stories, 

from your treasured collections. 

They say, that spirit dwells,

in such places, and objects,

when there's love so deep,

making our bond transcends, 

the boundaries of realities. 

It might be wishful thinking,

stemmed out of our longings, 

still recovering from the loss,

finding solace, reminiscing close,

tracing fragments of your soul. 

An empty chair... 

It might be few notes,

fading whispers of our world, 

that resonates, and still echoes, 

in chambers, of our heart,

finding your presence...

Even in the absence!

Feeling good

Most of us crave,

streams of positive waves,

flowing through our body,

giving us required energy,

to stay motivated. 

Feeling good... 

What does it need,

to sustain this feeling,

radiating the liveliness, 

promoting our wellbeing? 

For, it's subjective,

some seek it in pleasures,

others, in peace & contentment, 

nurturing gratitude towards life,

and optimism, for our future. 

Feeling good... 

It's a play of neurotransmitters, 

Dopamine, released with the rewards,

Serotonin, regulating mood & sleep,

And Endorphin, with its euphorias. 

While some hormone, like oxytocin,

playing role in our social bondings,

a complex interplay of chemicals,

together influences our emotions! 

Feeling good... 

We can choose our ways,

by caring physical & mental health,

with love & support of our families, 

we could engage in activities,

for emotional regulations. 

To finally achieve...

A state of bliss, feeling good!
