A teacher

Learning is continuous process, a life turner Till the end of life, every person is a learner What to learn, Where to Learn, How much to learn, from whom to learn Depends on the thirst you have, and what the teacher provides in return We can learn from small small incidents we meet everyday Our mistakes, our experiences teach us in many a way One feels its the teacher who teaches a student a lesson on the contrary, its the teacher who learns by observation The mistakes of students, the doubts he raises in the classroom improves the knowledge of teacher and helps him to groom A teacher becomes better by the rich experience gained a student is happy too as gets a teacher who is better trained No teacher can boast to be a master of the subject  for the audience changes and so does the teaching aspect A teacher gains respect from the entire society For he guides the career of many in the city Life of a true teacher is like a candle, burning s

Cricket

A game that needs no introduction, to say the least every Indian enjoys this nothing less than a feast The game is simple, a batsman scores runs during his tenure of stay the purpose of bowler is to limit the score by taking his wicket in any way To make it more interesting, a bowler has support in the ground for fielding placed all over, who not only stop the flow of runs but also do catching and diving Its a fascinating contest between one v/s eleven the players confidence and his mental strength gets even The entire atmosphere is made electrifying by the audience supporting 'their team' cheering and shouting slogans, to motivate them to win This game has taken many people(player) to the pinnacle of success with the rub of the green in his favour, a player performs superbly even under stress 'Never take success to the head and failure to the heart' Also, 'Practice makes man perfect' is well propagated through this art Winning, Loosing, Ho

Devotion...........

Emotions in persons are very different, very odd Devotion is a character blessed only by God The character who has reached heights of fame  - Hanuman is being worshiped today for being staunch devotee of Lord Ram Sant Kabir spoke to people through his 'dohe' Sudama gained prosperity in life by sharing with Lord Krishna some 'pohe' Dyaneshwar, Tukaram, Ramdas -were a few blessed soul preaching their 'enlightenment' through 'abhangs' being their goal So many saints, few known and many unknown, though mortal sang praises of the God merrily and became immortal Being a devotee is not at all easy for he has to obey Master's command selflessly If selfless surrender is difficult, to put one's ego at other's feet is daunting The criticisms from every corner of society will be always mounting A true devotee can gain control of all such mental block For he enjoys the company of his Master at every tick of clock Once the mind is

A journey called Life

We start this journey with or without any previlage Likewise it ends without our knowledge What happens in between is the tale quite different Every one is in a race to nibble his share of bread and hutment If everyone is allowed to share his experience as a game It would be very interesting as no two stories would be same No doubt, the childhood days are the best no tensions, no responsibilities, just play and take rest Playing being a child, teaches many a lesson He learns winning and losing happens in a session The funny part is every child wants to grow up fast Being old, he thinks why did the child within did not last The adolescence is the most difficult phase when he is neither small nor mature to handle his case No sooner he enters the age of marriage His eyes and mind searches for a partner besides a good package He feels his life being settled, with wife and children Praying for success of cubs in 'Jungle' when they get out of the den The

Flex banners

The word 'banner' has spread amongst all like a viral flu Many takers surfacing 'out of the blue' People from different walks of life use this source To scream about their deeds without remorse Remorse for advertising illegally Leave alone the concern morally Even the 'paid' banners are not spared The 'Rulers' put up their banners over it, without being cared It is such a hypocracy that No one wants to pay But want to have their share of say Used mostly to tell when did one bless this world Wishes by followers in new designs and some unconventional word The other extreme end is neither spared, in a sense Everyone join hands to offer their condolence All the functions in between, are displayed irrespective of any age A first birthday, marriage or achievement of any personal mileage The biggest headache, no doubt, comes during election Wherein every candidate have list of deeds to mention Wishes during festive season related to any c

The day 12.12.12 was special for many people in different ways. Many were happy to have survived to this date and felt blessing for being able to enjoy to see this day and had plenty of posts in facebook and other social sites. Some were more precise and posted exactly at 12:12pm on dis date....Wow!!! Some people had  their birthdays on this special date... Further few people recognised that we were a generation who are lucky to see the dates from 1.1.1 to 12.12.12 which may come back after a thousand years only..  What an observation, Hats off!!! But a single saying, overcomes all the euphoria exhibited above - "Even this time will pass away". So what made this day special??? The CNN-IBN had telecasted an award function - 'Indian of the Year' at around 10.00pm. Congratulations to all the deserving winners of the award. Mr.Vishwanathan Anand, was conferred upon the title, which was heartening because of many firsts he had achieved. He was the first per

GOD

The day when i started writing a few lines called poetry one of the wish i had was to describe this intangible factory But what was required to write was less imagination more of experience and importantly lot of devotion GOD can be different for every person in ways as many But he describes HIM the best who could enjoy HIS company The first touch of GOD in a human life could be either through sacred books or word of mouth of a devotee In the beginning everyone thinks some else God is only a 'feel of good' - nothing more, nothing less The 'rationals' argue that is HE is nowhere but sincere devotion makes HIM felt everywhere Having faith in HIM and sharing one's success is way of living Having blind-faith gives chance to few to say adverse about believing GOD is an acronym for Generator, Orderliness and Destroyer You can always be with HIM by chanting daily lines of Prayer.

Missing Deva aka Mehta sir.... :-(

'We are born alone, we leave this world alone'...says a common saying. But when we think back, this is not actually true.... we are born with lots of relations.. blood relations, a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a grandfather, a grandmother, many uncles, many aunts, and so many other relations which one may not even know and may have not even seen through his life time but are relatives and the fact is that we really do not have a choice as to choosing any of this relations. We have to accept them as they are, without raising any voice, even though they are good or bad, from any view point but the golden lining is after birth we have a right to choose one companion, one person whom we call our own, 'a friend'. A friend is generally a idiot, the person whom we think we should avoid the most but end up telling the most important and heart kept secrets easily. Those secrets which we either fear or feel ashamed of talking with anyone else in this world. The mo

The Artist

The person who works on an art either in full or in part whether average or very smart  hitting the outskirts or bulls-eye in a dart keeping all his emotions in the inner rings without letting the people know many things ready to display his creations at all times being happy or sad rarely affects his frames but the creation does reflect his mind because the flow of air is always with wind The limit of this community is not the people who display their masterpiece but every individual who works for stability and peace An actor, a singer, a dramatist, a cinematographer a poet, a writer, a painter, a story teller, a chartered, a lawyer, a secretary, a teacher a priest, a doctor, a preacher a pilot, a driver, a sailor a plumber, an electrician, a hair dresser, a tailor whatever u do for your survival in practice you are an artist in this game of cat and mice through these few words, a tribute by this host to this community of creativity called 'artist&

Strange but true....

There are many things we see and want it without fail knowing for sure that everything around is not for sale An interesting fact though is we thrive for it till the end and this is really a way one has to mend Unfortunately, we still put it all the efforts to gain not once but again and again For some it is a positive way of achievement to boast as it becomes a target of life to achieve at any cost but thinking practically it only adds to the existing burden leading us nowhere in this life but heaven we get ourselves so involved in achieving that thing that we forget that we are actually destroy our present being Strange but true..........

The only 'Human Tiger'

To describe any person is very difficult in few words and more so, when He is a legend, an armor of swords He was a person who could not ever be ignored Being in his company seldom one was bored Always linked with the grass root worker Making them feel that he was their family member He stood by a common man in every fight raking up administrative issues, wrong or right He lived upto the expectation of all being a large-hearted figure standing tall A political cartoonist, a warrior to the core a fierce roaring tiger and people expecting more The person settled who all his equations right at the end of the day He is none other than our own revered - 'Bala Saheb Thackrey'

Vishusir's Mind: Good and Evil Co-Exist

When there is a night, it is followed by a day negatives can becomes positives soon as many say If there is black, there is white Darkness is often vanished with small ray of light Sadness or happiness follow each other in the game of dice after every fight, both the parties agree for compromise  A sportsman enjoys both stardom and a lean patch He has to remember that a form remains remain only for a match One person is neither good nor bad forever it is the time which makes him behave in that manner When leaves of a trees fades, new ones are also born A Rose is always enjoyed by taking care of the thorn This is the beauty of the nature's mist That good and evil always co-exist

Raja - the king

Dedicated to all Ganesh Mandals in Mumbai :- In ancient times,  there was a king -Raja who took care of his followers, the people - praja but with changing times, the kings lost their property and with them disappeared their dynasty But HE cannot watch the restlessness of praja and to bless the world today, we have 'Lalbaug cha Raja' Alas, this time, in modern world...he did not find the common man as his follower Instead the word 'Raja' followed him everywhere Through this few phrases, i humbly request all the mandals, our only purpose to keep Ganesha is to serve HIM in the pandals The name 'Raja' should be spared only for the best as we stand no where in HIS comparison in this test Today every mandal have started using this word for illusion Better we keep only one 'Raja' for visitors to reach Lalbaug without confusion Let us surrender ourselves to the Almighty selflessly and lead a devoted life by seeking his blessings continuous

Good and Evil Co-Exist

There is always light at the end of tunnel There is always happiness after struggle There is always a day after dark night We find darkness just beneath light Nothing is permanent in this nature There is success, there is failure There is optimism, so is pessimism But with negative thoughts also resides positivism In a remote, there is a stop, there is a pause and play some watch the show live while others like replay With time, has changed the pattern of television This was possible only with a vision Even a good mind has  an evil thought For thinking, we have a brain and even a heart However, the decisions that come out are vital Where one is emotional, other is practical The simple message in a gist, Good and Evil always Co-exist

Exception

There is a Rule, there is an Exception No one can ignore this world wide perception The existence of exception is important because it is useful to prove a rule, past and present All great scientist use this theory of exception to prove to this world their work of innovation Often this word 'except' is confused with 'expect' but actually there lies a world between the two subject In an invoice, we have E & O E printed which means Errors and Omissions Excepted If one reads it 'Errors & Omissions Expected' then the existence of that invoice is violated Exception is also used to describe a person or a thing which is better than the best in the lot to cling The theme of this poem is as per expectation and E-Series is launched without an Exception!!!

The E-Series

The moment when you read this title what comes to your mind is a brand name well settled But this theme was suggested by my good friend who is interested in writings of mine and external trend i was surprised to note that many words started with alphabet 'E' and here is a list of what we are going to see Entry, Exit, Expectation, , Entertainment Existence, Education, Enjoyment Efforts, Errors, Establishment EMI, Economics, Efficiency, Engagement Wow!!! So many meaningful words plugged in together like a shield with two swords The question that kept arising in my mind throughout was how to arrange so many things in few lines thought Next came an idea was to compose separate poem for each and give it a name E-Series for people to reach But before any of the individual compositions begun This is an introduction for poems to welcome and have fun.

Prirorities

Change is the most constant aspect one should follow this rule to gain respect Change occurs far off as well as near and a person has lots of pain to bear as the person changes who is so dear may even bring his eyes to tear for one should make his priorities clear Priorities changes with times that change one's habit, choices changes including the price range one who does not accept this feels it strange and he has to learn to list his priorities to manage else this may bring about his mind and health to damage What was more important in the past may not be relevant today aghast The wishlist of every person is vast and prioritizing the order from first to last is the biggest challenge in this life, which is moving very fast A man breaks down instantly and starts behaving insanely when His Near and Dear ones replace Him just like a mobile phone or a new sim Priroritize things not people!!!

Impermanence

Impermanence just says 'Nothing is permanent' The simple truth of life ignored by majority of a cent There is nothing which can be permanent forever Exception to this rule is 'Nature' which is always a Giver There is no human who is a success or failure always the tide of time turns upside down as game of  maze The examples of instant success and disappearance are so many,  so is the case of a successful venture gone dismay instantly The winning of Congress in Centre in 2004 was unexpected The Rise of Republic of China in Olympic games though perfected The winning of Trinamool Congress in West Bengal  The qualification in the Football World Cup by Senegal The failure of Indian Hockey in Olympics  are illustrations of the see-saw of this flick So the fact to be accepted is simple things perish but not the relationship of a pal Cultivate people in your hay days unegoistically  who help you survive the hammer of adversity

A poet and a poem

Writing a poem is an art Enjoyed by all those who feel its integral part Every topic reflects the poet's thoughts Every word of the poem is what has been taught to the poet either in the present or in distant past from a teacher or by his experience which can be vast Even a poem is incomplete in many a ways The arrangement of words shows what a poet says the knowledge of poet can be partial or reflect his need he describes the theme in what he has got to read some other times he may describes from what he has heard sometimes he has no opinions and simply follows the herd Timing of writing a poem has also a deep impact on the writing pad being happy brings out cheerfulness else words are gloomy when he is sad The theme of a poem can be quite different for people of various batch the thinking of the poet and understanding of the reader may not match Its like an elephant being defined by Six Blind People, who imagine the big animal, from the part which they got hol

Friend ship

A friend in need is a friend indeed just like a tree grows out of small seed no one is big, none is small no one is short, none is tall no friend is rich, none is poor every friend is really dear no expectations, no compulsion this relation is without any tension having a good friend besides till death is the result of your good work at length. Happy friendship day to all enjoy at home or goin to the mall :-)

Being in Love

Every feeling of a person can be felt on the face when life shows him different shades it can be of being shy, happy or very joyous but being in love is the most special of all cases a person who is in love can be singled out, even when he walks in a crowd he is in his own planet who smiles sheepingly, without being bothered He hardly recognises a person in the crowd -  be it relative or friends who later enquire as to justifications of the actions of face and hands This idiot again gets caught and has to pay a heavy price because he tries to avoid the enquiries and moves to some other place The seeds of doubts get sown in the mind by his mannerism and further gets confirmed by his sheer ignorance and euphorism When the world is busy pointing fingers at him for doing wrong He himself feels that others words are tune of a wonderful song By objecting to his being in love and making him a joke Hardly does he understand that every person who has made a poke is a rich garde

Being Mobile

Today is the world of Being Mobile!!! Everybody from a school going child to old age grandpa use mobile. But is this modern gift of science worth using it??? Even after understanding the ill-effects of radiation, no one is really bothered.... On a more serious note, what is the use of a mobile for a school going child? Parents defend by saying it helps to track down their position but then 'do children reply honestly' and many would agree that the answer is negative. The next most dangerous trend which is catching up is to impress others... if 'A' brings mobile of Rs.10,000 then 'B' must afford atleast a model costing Rs.15,000 to maintain status. We have never grown from being monkeys (at least while imitating)... Further, with a latest handset in the pocket, students who already have poor concentration for lectures, get further distracted and keep checking if there are any updates in their facebook account or for that matter any social network

Joker

A pack of cards had fifty two cards of different case Four kings, queens, jacks & tens to ace Four different varieties based on two colours black cards are spade and flowers red cards are diamonds and heart everyone try their luck believing their fate these cards are used to play many a game rammie, flash, teen patti are few to name a game of rammie has players of any number where thirteen cards are given to each member the first player draws one card from the pack  the next palyer distributes cards to others back to back this card drawn by the first player is the joker which changes from game to game like that of a poker this joker is so important that every player prays to get that card in that game he plays a joker who is till the game continues, is a hero in the next game, has value not more than a zero a joker remains a joker with a smile useful only till the time it is worthwhile the person who has lots of jokers does not like it and

The Horizon

The place where sky meets the earth seeks no reservations for a berth the place which can be seen from a far off as light has nothing as such when u reach the actual site you understand one theory of life which is often told "all that glitters is not gold" we feel the grass is always greener on the other side come to actual terms and you realise its the same your beside the positive aspect of trying to reach the horizon is the motivation it builds to run towards the desitnation we must understand that success is a journey of life which goes on its not a destination for which you are actually born once you reach the target, you set higher goals and again get bogged down with a new set role this journey continues as the clock ticks everyday, every night without holding back any sticks you get merrier by the achievement you made but again it makes you realise your responsibility by your higher grade so what, where and why are you running for? was this target

An Olympic Dream

When i got up this morning, and switched on my television i came across the news that gagan narang was india's new son he had won bronze medal in 10m air rifle shooting when the whole of india had abhinav bhindra cheering i just thought for myself how much pressure is created on the minds of those athletes who had participated so much expectations, so much hype around a hero and if he fails to perform, immediately make him a zero when abhinav bhindra rose to fame hardly anyone knew his name earlier he had said that all preparations for his gold achievement was made all by himself at his residence basement no help from any government nor any charity work the sole reason of his success was his commitment and hardwork now the olympic dream of india rests on young shoulders of  saina and she has proved her metal in the games played earlier against china so many avenues but so less participation from indian members and smaller nations of the world participates in  larg

Balancing life

This life is so complicated, so much to balance Never do we understand what is more and what is less Actually both situations are troublesome Giving a hint of what is going to come If one has less, there is a problem of scarcity This person is always prepared to fight necessity Sacrifice becomes the mantra of his life and he passes this habit to his child and wife The relationship among them has a big strain where everyone fights to get his share of grain It is very difficult to assess who is correct or wrong Life for them is more of a sad song But one thing is for sure they learn to live contended with what they get and seldom they give This is practically true without any mystery but alas people fail to understand their misery if this is one side of the coin, and man regrets the other side is more dangerous with many secrets The problem with more is the problem of surplus this side has more plus and less minuses a poor person thinks the grass  on the other side  

My first poem - Nature

Nature was the word given to me which got involved my mind like a honey bee Being such a simple word, so many meanings one could get i thought and even i could have a bet but different as always, truth was what at a different level no one could tell me the meaning which my mind could settle i asked my mom, i asked my dad so confused were they, this made me further sad i could learn one simple lesson defining simple things was a much bigger mission so here are a few things that i myself tried sitting beneath a tree whose leaves were dried not that these leaves are useless i jst felt that they are 'used - less' Trees are always man's best friend but today, man has many ways to mend the thinking of masses must change else the world would become a big drainage the nature of Nature is to bring peace and happiness but man is losing this beauty out of sheer laziness Nature is scenic, nature is smart spreading greenery in every part Nature is in every color p
