On the right side

In our story,

there's nothing wrong,

each of the decisions arrives,

with a lot of convictions,

when differences arise,

we enforce opinions, 

for, in our perceptions...

We are, on the side of right. 

Each argument in conversations, 

requires clarity, with explanations,

or emotions overwhelms reasons,

to create contradictory interpretations,

leading to clashes, limited or violent, 

where power decides the narratives, 

identifying sides of good or evil...

In our story. 

And, we see them unfold, 

through centuries, as civilizations molds,

as leaders, ideologies, taking hold,

on the hearts, following discourse, 

with blind faith, committing atrocities, 

to societies, environments, nationalities, 

with satisfaction, glorifying such actions...

And being proud, on the right sides.

Hundred of worries harassing mind

Hundred of worries harassing mind,

Of disappointments, making us blind,

From relations, professions, emotions,

There are problems, we could find,

And we respond deeply. 

These troubles are not welcomed, 

sneaking inside through distractions, 

we fight, endure, eventually surrender, 

making choices, out of desperations, 

something, we might regret later. 

Hundred of worries harassing mind,

we seek support, of someone kind,

acting as refuge, providing solace,

letting us reflect, tackle the issues, 

with preparations and clarity. 

Yet, circumstances create situations, 

we were alone, weathering the storms,

in the seas, sailing through turbulence, 

getting lost, sinking into the darkness, 

losing sight of our desired future. 

Hundred of worries harassing mind,

but one day, we might face the plight,

encountering tragedies, or conditions, 

through misfortunes or consequences, 

of our own mistakes or actions. 

In the depth of despair,

body demands rest, & repair,

nothing would matter anymore,

not the money, fame, or relations,

just recovery, in harmony with body. 

What if, there's no return?

When we snap

When disturbed, in our work,

being interrupted, dimming the spark, 

losing focus and making mistake,

something snaps, in our brain,

And we react sharply... 

The thresholds does vary,

from mental conditions, 

with underlying worries,

and established rapport,

make us endure, not sorry. 

For, we have boundaries, 

there are limited entries, 

those unwanted invasions,

into our personal journey,

are responded firmly. 

Yet, it's sign of immaturity, 

a sense of entitlement within,

when we ignore the responsibilities,

and preserve individual choices, 

letting others bear the burden. 

So, be mindful of your reactions,

find ways for cordial expressions, 

conveying disinterest, or concerns,

without irritations or annoyance, 

growing up with each interaction. 

Unmet needs...

Growing up, in our upbringings, 

there are conditions, shaping personality,

which were above education and peers,

something mundane, but essential, 

steering us to certain directions. 

Unmet needs... 

Not in extremes, but in fractions,

little by little, heap up in layers,

imprinted in subconscious mind, 

changing behaviors with time,

getting anchored, as fundamentals. 

Somewhere aspirations were suppressed, 

others don't receive affections of parents,

being ignored, criticized or abused,

forming unconventional view of world,

affecting opinions and relationships. 

Not many have the patience or zeal,

able to identify, understand and feel,

when they show signs, certain traits,

which were different, from natural state,

indicating some deeper conditioning. 

Unmet needs... 

They are adaptations, for their survival,

against unfair treatment, or environmental, 

wounds that were neglected for long,

when properly addressed, with guidance, 

they learn healthier ways...

Beyond coping mechanisms!

Cooking and forests

Have we ever wondered, 

how our cooking procedures, 

have impacted surroundings, 

putting pressure on forests, 

on trees and wildlifes?

It was a common practice,

people collected fuel wood,

causing death by thousand cuts,

becoming driver of forest degradation. 

As the population grew,

diversity drop, jungles thin out,

when rate of removal exceeded, 

sustainable yield of forest. (ability to regrow)

With advent of LPG,

promoted with government schemes, 

we developed environmental shields,

allowing forests to regenerate covers.

Yet, present global crisis,

bringing back old strategies, 

rural areas reverting to methods, 

of using stoves with firewood.

So, how can we mitigate the risks,

when other systems are unavailable, 

as induction cookers don't function, 

and coal can be temporary buffer...

Are we heading for another wave,

Of deforestation?

 

Dancing to the tune

Dancing to the tune,

a cycle of fortunes & misfortunes, 

being indebted for the directions, 

while rue the missed chances,

as if snatched away from hold. 

This journey, like riding elevator, 

climbing toward the rooftop, 

where fates act as pulley & levers,

lifting me steadily, to my goals. 

And, it's had grand spectacles,

breathtaking beauty, capturing attentions, 

still being anxious, enduring inner turmoils,

when the buttons, were malfunctioning. 

My heart awaits, in the anticipation, 

to reach my floor, for the sensations, 

getting the dues, with the preparations, 

but there are setbacks, causing separation. 

Dancing to the tunes,

my dreams, buried in sand dunes,

while gaze fixed, at distant oasis,

being a mirage, which disappears...

When I try to get closer!

It's about control

It's about control, 

that you desired,

not building relationship,

that we required... 

You have conditions, 

already set in your mind,

disregarding other's situations, 

to enrich your life. 

It's about control,

enforcing your rights,

while avoiding responsibility, 

by fabricating lies. 

Self-centered, you are blind,

of the concerns, their plights, 

where perceived struggles,

makes your actions justified. 

It's about control,

becoming your primal drive,

using various manipulations,

to subdue your type. 

And then wondered,

Why didn't it lasted...

I know it's virtual

"I know, it's virtual..."

"At least, there are no betrayals!" 

He spoke with passion,

conveying deeper intentions,

of protecting sensitive side,

in a world of increasing disturbance. 

For, feelings were not valued,

comes with various conditions, 

shortcomings being emphasized,

causing clashes of opinions. 

So, he withdrew, from meetings,

interactions that brought sufferings, 

some say, he was coward to escape,

for him, it's about avoiding conflicts. 

Still, heart yearned, seeking connections, 

someone who listens, understand emotions,

letting him experience, tender moments,

after facing, life's difficult situations. 

And he discovers, find refuge in channels,

flashing from screens, yet genuine communication, 

no judgment, demands or expectations, 

just companionship, away from social conventions.

Your words drip nectar

Your words drip nectar,

while carrying poison inside,

and I, fall into addiction,

losing reason, of my mind. 

The allure of your beauty,

draws hidden feelings inside,

each motion is enchanting,

grabbing attention of eyes. 

My bashful demeanor, 

weakened even further,

with each interaction, 

lowering guards of heart. 

And I, allow advancements, 

with desires, find enhancements, 

while letting passion ignite,

in those moments, we confide. 

Your words drip nectar, 

I wasn't wary of the dangers,

as your whispers incites,

stealing, peace of my mind. 

And I fall, due to indulgence, 

momentary lapse of my judgment, 

losing my treasured connections, 

as you corrupt, surrounding environment. 

Science fictions

In the world of stories, 

there are many genres,

but nothing impact civilizations, 

more than science fictions. 

Science fictions... 

They are scientific concepts,

often set in futuristic settings,

where ideas, imagination converge, 

to present an advanced society. 

Fictional, yet grounded in reality, 

having basis in scientific plausibility, 

carry common themes & elements, 

of exploring futuristic inventory. 

There are robots, artificial intelligence, 

genetic engineering, space travels,

visits from aliens, or time travels,

or tales of utopian, dystopian societies. 

Science fictions... 

Acting as a mirror and a window,

offering glimpses of what future holds,

influencing naive, intellectual minds alike,

bringing innovations into human lives... 

For, they are the inspirations,

resulting in scientific discoveries!

The one I knew

The one I knew,

for long who grew,

into something important,

creating a space,

a tender embrace,

deep within my heart. 

The one I knew,

was like sunshine, 

illuminating my life,

flowing like fresh breeze,

blossomed into springs,

unfurling positivity. 

The one I knew,

nurtured feelings new,

into beautiful dream,

giving encouragement, 

allow vulnerable moments,

redefining my desires. 

The one I knew,

whom I valued,

changed with time,

that gentle demeanor, 

got obscured in haze,

of prior engagements. 

The one I knew,

was never true,

only glimpses of fragments,

and I wondered, 

was it just pretend, 

waiting to be replaced, forever...

Nuclear proliferation

It's a mess,

drawback of progress,

putting our lives in jeopardy,

and nations, distressed. 

From the discoveries of atoms, 

and research, on nuclear chain reactions,

it was only pursued by militaries, 

with an intent, for maximum destructions. 

With the arrival of power plants,

there was hope for peaceful citizens, 

gaining access to unlimited energy,

acting as engine for development. 

Still fear lurked in the shadows,

as nations treat others with suspicions, 

lacking commitments on disarmament, 

continued secretly with modifications. 

While many rogue powers grew,

illegally testing for gaining positions, 

using excuses, or genuine concerns, 

being threatened, of imminent invasions. 

Nuclear proliferation... 

Using loopholes and ambiguities, 

they are used for status, or deterrence, 

in the absence of central authorities, 

to strongly implement universal adherence... 

Pushing our present world, 

Into the brink of extinction! 

P.S : It's really worrying about the world when superpowers blatantly project nuclear arsenals. 

Sea Otters

Sea Otters... 

They are the floaters

cuddling their babies,

or holding the paws,

rafting with others. 

They are so cute,

holding those rocks,

for breaking shells,

of clams & mussels. 

Sea Otters...

They are playful creatures, 

living in coastal waters,

cleaning & fluffing furs

between hunting, or slumber. 

They are so charming,

with flippers, short tails,

wrestling, rolling, chasing,

or grooming each other. 

Sea Otters...

Keystone species of ecosystem,

their presence is vital to world,

still, were close to extinction,

due to human activities...

Of pollution & habitat destructions!
