Diwali a walk from smoke to light

From the safest shell of love,
Into the woeful pitiable world
From the sweet shadow of empathy
Into the soulless and lifeless earth.

It slowly tried to open its eyes...
It couldn't though,
The malignant sky was raging black,
Day and night were lost in smoke
All went dark and sun lost its path.
Fumes through its eyes
And its vision gave away

Slowly trying to listen around...
It couldn't though,
The pandemonium around
Curbed its senses,
The clatter around,
disturbedits nerves
The little life couldn't contain the uproar,
It's ears gave away..

Slowly trying catch a breath....

It couldn't though,

the venomous air chocked
The little heart.

It tried hard to grip a gasp
But couldn't hold any longer...
It's heart gave away..

Losing to life before It could fight,
Sadly, fate ahead seems unjust,
Miserable to term the state of future!

Should we add to the woes?
or should we be the change?

Let’s lend a hand ahead,
for the life of generations ahead...

This Diwali let us light up,
our lives with happiness and not crackers.
Let's celebrate Diwali in the way it's meant to be.

Happy Deepavali!!  #Saynotocrackers #pollutionfreediwali

India@70

Standing in the white khadi,

In between 6-7 guards

He pridely boasted about our nation,

His so called contributions to the country!!

While behind all the rush she,

With her little fingers picked up

All the waste to earn for a bite!

Her life never knew the freedom.

Coming out of a luxurious ancestral home,

The woman in her sparkling gown,

Expressed how her hard work

Gifted her fame and prosperity in this nation.

While far from there

The voice villagers allured to

Couldn't reach the ears of the metropolitan's,

The guy travelled daily,

Village to the unknown city,

But no one heard his voice...

His voice never knew freedom.

Dressed in the color of drab 

The officer boasted

His team ensured safety for all,

But just the street besides,

The young lady still fears

Each night returning late from her office...

She feared being a victim,

To assault, to rape, theft or death even

Her fear never knew freedom!

Success is achieved by hardwork,

Said the man who ruled the showbiz

The man and his lady far in the farms,

Toiled each day each night,

But they could never earn well

So they gave up on life hanging on ropes..

Their toil never knew freedom.

The world applauded India's success,

In space,

Our Satellites reached space and back!

But,

Electricity in our nation couldn't reach

Into the deepest villages!!

Their darkness never knew freedom!

We achieved milestone's one after another but we ignored the miseries within ourself on the other side.

This Independence day let's embark upon such miseries and let us together spread the feeling of Independence!!

She Knew Her Brother

She knew her brother...

She knew he would smile back late,
As he always did,
She knew he had another toffee hidden
As he always had,
She knew he would come back and gift a hug,
As he always did
She knew he would lift her and push ahead,
As he always did
She knew all these as she knew he loved her little sister,
He cared for her, and she knew she was an angel for him..
She knew she was his first love and best friend..
She knew it all...
She knew her brother so well!!

He walked far from home for a penny,
She missed him and his hug daily,
She texted him daily,
Saying brother I miss you,
And he always texted back
'what do you want this time?'
As always....
She bought a thread of love,
She knew he would be there
For his little brat,
She waited for her brother
With a thread of love and trust
In her hand,
She waited for his tightest hug,
She knew the value of the thread
The value of the bonding shared,
She knew the world's far evil,
But she knew in his arms
She's in her impregnable fort of love!

Yes, she knew her Brother!

Friendship

Friendship

Friendship 

Today is just like another day,

Just a day where firms market things,.in the name of friendship,

And kids go crazy over it....

It was different all together years back.

Years back friendship was different,

It was more eternal than external

It wasn't just about the fun together,

But about the life together....

Sailing through life facing hurdles,

Storms, and waves

A boat may fail but not a mighty ship,

A ship powered by trust, love and care

Of friends.

Not many but only a few can sail together,

Those who lend a hand to pull you

While the world pushes you down,

Those who walk in when the world sprints off...

Friendship is pushing dreams together,

Erasing failures,

And laughing through days together

It is a feeling of Hope,

In the shallow water of failures.

It is the rope of faith 

Tied firm atop success....

Know those who you sail along with,

Today just let them know you gave them a thought,

That's enough to know 

It's deeper than any bands on hands,

Or any names on your clothes..

That's a lovely sense of affection and togetherness 

We claim that as friendship!

A Soldier's Adieu

He punched the air with a breathe of success,

She smiled with a pinch of worry across her eyes...

Each day he worked hard with excitement and happiness, 

And each day her agitation grew,

He got suit up to leave with pride,

She didn't take her eyes off him a bit,

He bent down for her blessings to succeed,

She placed her hands and prayed in her heart,

He hugged everyone and waved a good bye,

Her tears  called him back times again,

As he pulled his hands off hers and left...


Days and months passed flew by,

She was all ears for the phone to ring,

And all eyes for post to arrive,

Her heart trembled with fright,

And her mind got drenched in thoughts,

For it was her life fighting for his nation,


Days went by without a call ,

She stared at the phone if but it rang,

She looked through the window if someone's coming....


Suddenly, the phone rang, she pulled it up,

And hello she yelled in joy,

But the voice otherside wasn't familiar,

She couldn't swallow all she heard, 

She tried to breathe as hard as she could,

She couldn't stand so she held on to everything around..


Early the morning next,

He came back not alone but,

All in uniform, all heads held up with pride,

They left him for her to see, 

And saluted him in unison...


She cried and hugged him tightly 

Asking him to wake and speak,

He didn't ...


It was always the coffin she feared 

From the day he punched the air in joy,

It was this silence of the coffin she feared from the beginning,

But little did she thought,

It was only the TRI-COLOUR above,

He could see.

It was this TRI COLOUR,

For which he waited his entire life,

And now he left the world 

Hugged and covered by the TRI-COLOUR


He was silent but still his face was bright,

He didn't breathe but his chest was still

Held with pride ...

Yes he smiled as he waved a goodbye....

When will I be free?

Please let them free,
That Is all I plea.
Now, years have gone by,
Tears have gone dry,
To fly high in the sky so clear,
They wish, but are drenched in fear.
You fenced them,
 as they took a leap,
Childhood dreams you yelled,
As they sat to weep..

Time flew by, and now a teen,
They wished to follow interest of their choice so keen.
To walk ahead and buy,
Some time, some moments,
Some adventure, some risks
Some stories they could live or pen about...
But you belted them with force,
Without any reason to close,
Tender age to lose one’s paths you said,
And they sat aside to weep...

They wish to sail the world,
Dance through their paths,
Frame out their captures,
Sing their voice atop,
Climb their fears,

Dive into their deep dreams,
Fly across the vast blues,
And so many more dreams
Held tight throughout the years,
In the fist closed tightly
And the hearts which wept daily..

So many dreams, so many hopes
All still after ages stay behind the fences,
Crying and begging loud,
Asking the same always,
When will I be free?
But in these closed doors ,
Their voice fades away......

But still in the wake of a day
When will I be free???

Be the source of happiness.
