A man has to prove his mettle in life, which moves very fast Not only being a child but till the day he breathes his last Being a toddler, parents expect them to perform in front of all including reciting poems, alphabets, numbers right up to juggling with ball When a child moves into a school, the real test is to start The child has to satisfy his peers, teachers and his parents apart No time to enjoy leisure is the story common, of every home No time to nurture their hobbies, No time to play a game Not playing a game is again dangerous for child in many ways as a child never learns to accept 'loss' on those few unlucky days This acceptance of loss makes him strong at heart and the child gets ready to face challenges in life, being smart Some parents put the burden of Expectation to impress others Without understanding that freedom for a child can work wonders Some parent jump to the defense at every problem of the child, even mild Encouraging at times b

Every person has a special time for special people, old and new For the opportunities provided in life are less and at times, few To celebrate success of Heramb, Udaan is an occassion Felicitating meritorious students and also having final year valedictory function Its a way of inspiring students, to achieve better every one present in the first year thinks of improving his marks meter Final year students enjoy by participating in various cultural activity Dancing, singing is common, participating in ramp walk being a priority Even the volunteers who help in arrangement of the program enjoy Everyone works selflessly as a team irrespective of being a girl or a boy Udaan can have different meaning for different mind The official version being 'Unlimited Dreams and Ambitions Nurtured'

Going to sabarimala is a blessed pilgrimage having people of different caste and various age Going alone through dense jungle is not suggested Hence, Joining groups for journey is better opted But, being a part of a group, is more testing people with different mindsets make the journey interesting Some people stubborn to their demands to be met, shout bluntly Being Flexible in a group makes the survival and rapport instantly Everyone may be a king at their individual level For the betterment of group and self, one has to manage his personal ego well All the problem arises because many forget the aim of pilgrimage its not expecting luxuries but facing challenges with courage One tends to forget he has come to get blissful darshan of Lord, without ego who comes as 'Jyothi' year after year as promised decades ago Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa

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

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

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

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

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

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.

'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 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&

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..........

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'

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

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

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

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 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.

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!!!
