Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj - My Icon!!!

 It is more than 400 years since you blessed us

Your leadership qualities are life learning lessons for us

A simple lesson, "Follow your dreams", you taught us

Problems are keys to success, you proved to us


The dream of "Swaraj" you envisioned as a young boy

Your chosen "Mavlas" happily sacrificed their toy

Your oath at "Raireshwar" spread waves of joy

Your vision of "Maratha Empire" was a great ploy


"Maa Bhavani" kept her company with you always

"Aai sabeb" was her "swaroop"  mentoring your ways

Learning from the great stalwarts from your childhood days

"The Great Marath Warrior," you became, as history says


"The Gurellia Warfare" surprised your opponents

The strategies and secrecy being its prime components

Success assured as the entire team had high trust quotients

You carefully chose leaders and their team enrollments


The construction of "Forts" as a defense mechanism

Proved to be a perfect warfare strategy and perfectism

Dedicating a few forts on Mavla's name reflected your connectism

Your selfless, dyanmic qualities were based on strong spiritualism


The "Naval Force" you built was another an exemplrary move

Your knowledge of the geography, it went on to prove

You are a "Demi-God" which every Indian unconditionally approve

Waiting for you to come back and lead us, show the path to improve


O Great King, I bow down to you with all respect

My emotions of love for you, these lines reflect

I agree it is impossible to define you, who is perfect

You are our pride, with whom I internally connect


Jai Shivrai!!!

IKIGAI (Book Review)

IKIGAI - A Japanese Secret to Long and Happy Life by Hector Gracia & Fancesc Miralles (translated by Heather Cleary) A very small but an effective book which shows the way for living a long life. The authors have not only stated the definition and other features of the word "IKIGAI" but took pains to travel to the actual place and interview the "CENTENERIANS" and many such stories are published in this book.The entire narrative is simple to understand for an average reader and tips to implement the same is also given. Hailing from the West, the authors have made comparative study of various practices on similar lines and how "IKIGAI" helps people of the Island OKINAWA survive for longer years is put up beautifully. The travel to a smaller village within the island - OGIMI - called as the Village of Longetivity is penned up wonderfully that the reader can actually have a sense of belonging. IKIGAI in English roughly translates to "the happiness of ...

Poison

In the old age days of kings, queens, and chariots ride  Conquering a neighboring kingdom was a matter of pride  A few powerful kings had a charismatic personality  They hardly bothered about the aftermath of the fatality  The tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata are not merely mythological  They carry messages for the modern-day people to be logical  Two characters in each of these tales who hated the heir to the crown  Manthara and Shakuni, for their revenge, turned the tables upside down  They were individually sober people, incompetent to enter into combat physically  Their malafide intentions were unknown to anyone, they were tough mentally  When the moment stuck, they released the venomous poison in the minds they had trained  They were patient enough to wait for years to ensure their enemies were brutally pained  History is proof that neither of these people was wrong in their actions  They played their role to perfect...
