Strive for win-win situation-
Hallmark of justice

Lost Shine
Frost layer covers
Slowdown also in demand…..
Steel loses its glint.

Smell
Chemistry Class
Reaction releases gases…
Simply obnoxious.

Perfectionist
Swirling inside his head
Words jostle for an exit….
Never perfect.

Grownup Child
The child inside him
Dominates despite his growth….
World labels him mad.

Cold Moon
Chilly night….
Cold moon outside my balcony
Smell of mothball on sweater.

Country’s Pride
Bound to country’s pride
Emotions fail to sway him-
Soldier at the front.

Festival
Festival Multi-Cultural, Global Merrymaking, revelry, bonding Inducing sense of hope Commemoration
Reading
Opening a book….
Imagination takes wings
Solace from worries.

Unending
Through the centuries Human endeavour to Expose! Expose!! Scale up the peaks. Tear down forests. Dive into depths. Shoot into space And seek. Seek all that is unknown, Unheard, Mysterious, Let nothing remain a secret From the hungry, inquisitive mind. So the race continues. Everyone seems to be running In their own direction Busy The knowledge gained however Seems to be of no avail. The smaller mysteries- The anguish of a fellow person’s heart The cause of someone’s tear A silent scream Emanating from a grieved heart Its causes not yet deciphered. Neither does the world seem to care On breaking down individual walls. No time to stop and ponder About nature-the silent sufferer. On individual tracks, Cocooned in a world of one’s own creation, Humans keep going, Know not where!
