  Shifting from a village to city, the modern man has paid huge cost Though he has lots of amenities, he finds himself totally lost   Having luxuries all around, he still searches for happiness Sacrificing all that was available, he always lands into unhappiness   Selling off huge acres of land, he squeezes into a few square feet Leaving the joint family system, the nucleus family makes him feel complete   Lying on the rope cot, he wove many a dreams of being successful The soft mattress today drove away his sleep, which he always had felt peaceful   The purity in the air, the taste of the food, the selfless love he got are gone He now consumes toxic air, and junk food, the people around lazy and withdrawn   Bottles of sugary drinks replaced the fun of Ice water, and extinct became the sweet candy Missing are those friends and family who at difficult times were always handy   The cowdung smeared floors got replaced by sparkling and shining tiles Th

  The moment she finished her presentation Punching the air she vented her frustration After years of hard work, she enjoyed this elevation He quietly noticed a higher dose of aggression   During regular office hours, he kept a watch on her She had now become a professional from amateur Hardly was there any work, she did defer Earning her accolades and recognition on offer   Amongst the goodness, she seemed lost in her world There were times she would weep and stay curled No counseling helped her as she never unfurled She was caught in a prison of thoughts without a word   From a few instances, the occurrences increased rapidly His presence of mind made him realize his responsibility Counseling her, he encouraged to break her captivity Reluctantly she tried because it affected her productivity   After several bouts with failure, she gave up the fight The strong support besides her, he gave the advice right Both approached a psychologist for h

As the Sun went into oblivion, with fading light Meena and Rani saw the swing and smiled with delight The two friends enjoyed the swing reaching great height The debate was who would swing as it was nearing to the night  Neither of the friends were ready to sacrifice Both were mentally ready to pay any price Except this, they were the best friends otherwise  None of them even wanted to agree, though both were wise The two argued as a true claimant of the swing game Best friends become worst enemies as darkest secrets when shared brings shame Both argued and disagreed not compromising as their age was same Other children around, now tried to catch the swing, making a silent claim The two smart friends realised their mistake Meena whispered to Rani an ideal step both should take Rani agreed instantly as their playtime was at stake  Meena sat, Rani stood behind, enjoying the swing near the temple lake

A beautiful girl with a big career aspiration Her supportive parents were her daily inspiration No compromise throughout her formal education After graduation, she planned to pursue post-graduation As said, love is blind, cannot see what’s in store She fell for an uneducated guy, staying next door Daily exchanging of glares left them wanting more The teenage mind got them committed for life to explore They met, promised to stand by each other The parents were shocked at this uncover Totally chocked, they could not even move over It was a difficult pill to swallow, after the discover The girls’ family was hurt beyond imagination They cut off their social contacts, remained in isolation They cursed themselves for life’s unexpected deviation Unsure of the results of their daughter’s experimentation Even the society disapproved the new relation Staying together, the couple exhibited strong determination The girl’s education was her biggest asset, and motivation Her hard work, s

Whenever I land on this Land of Charminar, I land into problems. Actually, problems welcome me with open arms and seem to never get enough of me here. The first such instance was the September of 2006 when the young boy within me was lured by the shadi ka ladoo and the rest is history.  For the world, I tied three knots but today I literally felt squeezed between those three knots. Aah!! Cut down... Today as I entered the General stores, I saw a white beared chacha sitting at the corner of the shop with a fractured hand. I thought to myself "what pains to the poor chap at this age?" His hoarse voice, " Bolo kya chaiye" brought me back to my senses and I searched for the list of items to be purchased. I had been handed over a list of small items to be brought for a mega family function. Mega function not in terms of volume or people, but in terms of achievement for sure.  On his 70th birthday, my Father in law was being felicitated by conducting 'Bhimarathashanti

28th May marks birth anniversary of the Veer Savarkar A fierce revolutionary, also a staunch Hindutva supporter Many opinions in favour and against still linger around this historical figure  Even through many of his acts, controversies he would trigger While being imprisoned at the Cellular Jail As per his brother's testimony, his health started to fail This is the time when he wrote letters seeking bail These letters gave power to the opposition to upper their tail Presumed to be written by the revolutionary seeking Amnesty  The opposition blamed it as an act of cowardice, not grounds of humanity The supporters argued it was a 'Prisoner's Right' to fight against the brutality To add, they said those requests were for all prisoners, not for himself in totality Only the history knows what happened those days  Every person today interprets the same story in his own ways  Five decades passed, still someone stirs the controversial craze Rather than respect the revolutionar

“Sorry for being late” is an excuse people use regularly One always reaches on time he actually plans internally It may be a delayed time for the external world It’s actually the time to reach one had preferred The time that’s decided for the work to begin Is the contributing factor to make his plan win This factor though important is always controllable Ignoring the same leads to situations uncontrollable Keeping a buffer to reach the destination helps in many ways For there may be unseen stoppages and blockages always Moving ahead, helps to keep the momentum going The unwanted negative thoughts uprooted helps growing Being late every time is a negative trait Acceptance and improvement needed to change the fate Being late never means one is destined to fail For it only means, success is a delayed tale Once the journey begins, it’s necessary to move Reaching the destination is a matter only to prove On time or a bit late, depends on many more factors The success of the jour

  Every ignited mind is a match-stick Ready to fire at the slightest flick A boon as fire spreads all around quick A bane when used by mind that is sick   The success of revolutionary movements Largely belonged to the gang of students Those who voluntarily joined without judgments Gave everything with full commitments   Mother India has experienced it all The flame of freedom lit and gave a call Many sons of the soil joined, big or small They kept arising after every fall   Many match-sticks did became useless Losing their own spark, they became juiceless Some tamed by Britishers making them toothless Others falling prey to offers being clueless   A few of the match-sticks though fought brilliantly They sacrificed their lives, kindled the fire consistently Freedom is the result of that fire burning persistently Those young matchsticks held the flame resiliently   A match-stick is a perfect example of controlled aggression While it can

  Every login has a password Some logical, some absurd Alpha, number, symbol always preferred Such combination makes one a perfect nerd A strong password is a boon A security at morning, night or noon A bane for those who forget it soon Creates a panic situation, making him behave like a cartoon This modern world promotes this unlocking feature Like or dislike it cannot be skipped by any creature Though there is an escape route for every forgetful teacher To click ‘Forgot Password’ and follow given procedure Easier the password, it is easier to guess the same Many keep a simple password using their first name Such passwords have a high risk of losing the game When attacked, the user feels helpless and lame Oldies are still not convinced in this password regime The login system doesn’t suit their nature, it may seem The digitalization era is outside their wildest dream They still believe and trust, only the power of Supreme The younger generation is fast and enjoys this system Crea

 The yesteryear’s love was cute and harmless Just watching his beloved added to the cheerfulness The blushing when eyes met eyes was a beautiful sight Meeting the sweetheart privately was scaling newer height   The modern day love birds are so different They measure their love with gifts equivalent   The bigger the volume of the gift, higher the love quotient Isn’t the journey of intangible to tangible quite prominent?   Everyone applauds the success of students scoring high grades Seldom do they know the efforts put in by the young brigades   A possibility of student riding high by such tangible results Did he acknowledge the sacrifice, blessings of his parents?   The food and nourishment provided by mother during study hours The challenges and struggles of family, with his smile the father covers   The winning of tangibles is important to display power to the world Though there are many intangibles deeds which needs to be unfurled   A man s

*A man's late realisation* On a breezy night, as he walked on the beach all alone Observing the moonlit sea the man saw the water sparkled and shone With the breeze hitting the face, he felt the happiness of company unknown He felt sad, he was unable to capture this beauty on his mobile phone. "This is so romantic," he said to his mind He shouted "You set the tone for a wonderful time having hearts kind"  "It is not me, it's the moon to be credit," the sea opined "The rays of the moon makes me sparkled and shined" Hearing this conversation, the moon felt over the moon "Thank you dear sea, but then light I throw I get as a boon" My source is the Earth with whom I share a fine tune Rotating around the axis I recieve my fortune Smilingly earth accepted the gratitude of his friend I hope you all know I'm not the source where this story will end Sun, the big star is my source from where the energies descend He will rise at the da

  The Desert Storm The day 22 nd April, 1998, the fans expected a strong reaction Against the Aussies, the Indian batting failed in action But, one man stood between the Aussies and their win He took the onus on self, became the center of attraction   He faced with grit, the pace bowling as well their attack of spin Losing partners at other end, he did not let negativity set in The Master blaster ensured the Indian team reached the final An innings which earned him the title ‘Desert Storm’ akin   Not only did he contribute for Indian team’s survival He played a scintillating innings in finals against the same rival The team won the title; he was applauded for his cricketing brain His innings showcased the mighty Aussies as trivial   Was it a match between one v/s eleven was difficult to explain? Though the team fought, it was a single man controlling the chain The mighty Aussies agreed, even the dust storm failed to contain That day, the true batt

Arjun was born with a silver spoon. He had all the luxuries one could ever imagine since childhood. He was the 3rdchild of the family with 2 elder brothers and 2 younger brothers. The five brothers formed a strong army amongst themselves and the entire neighbourhood feared them the most. Each brother had his specialization. Arjun specialized in the field of Information Technology, he was a tech wizard. While others just operated high-end mobiles, Arjun would learn the insights of the configuration of the mobiles, he would find out the grey areas in the upcoming technology and used basic handset for his requirements. He knew that every high-end mobile was susceptible to hacking. He trained himself to be an ethical hacker. He spent hours specializing in his art of hacking. He was regularly called by the Cyber-crime police to solve high profile cases. The only weakness Arjun had was his madness for the online games. He would lose money on online bets initially but to make good the loss, h

Thank you Vilas Shete sir for teaching me the ABC of Accountancy.... This Friday prompt was #reflection at #Didyouwritetoday forum.... This poem is dedicated to you Shete sir  It was two decades ago, I still vaguely remember When I took the stage as a young vibrant and excited teacher Teaching a practical question stating an accounting concept  I went into trance explaining the deep logic and theory When suddenly there was a murmur among the students  Brought me back to senses and my curious mind wanted to know why? Fearing rejection, I asked a few of them the reasons for their murmur To my surprise, they replied, "You are a reflection of your teacher" My heart swelled with pride as it was my moment of glory I could not hold back my tears, nor could I express my emotions directly That day  I reflected the man whom I idolised all my life  Unknowingly I even picked up his manners, lines, and style Years passed, I moved ahead sharing the baton of love for accountancy In the mean

  The year 2075 “Reservoir” as he was fondly called, Guru Debendranath was an exemplary model reflecting bundle of energy. His face radiated the energy within and all his disciples were just in awe of his mere sight. The “Guru” had an aura of attracting disciplines with every sermon and the list scaled with each passing day. The national headlines had always a positive snippet to share on his charisma. Hailing from rural Bengal, Guru had settled down on the outskirts of Nashik in Maharashtra. Everyday several activities of social relevance were carried out by the disciples and the Guru’s backing ensured it was a huge success. Lately, the Ashram celebrated its Guru’s 150 th birthday!!! The secret to these glorious 150 years was the pearly necklace adorned by Debendranath. Each pearl had been curated with precision and immense positivity. It was a legacy passed down to generations of able gurus. Each pearl in the necklace had to be refilled with energies beaming from happiness, gr
