“Lotus strolling,
Instead of floating.
In garden today,
Feeling happy and gay.”
A mirror
A mirror, a company
A reflection, a journey

Never alone
Since very long I have called myself, one who never gets bored!
Whether ‘lonely’ or ‘alone’ I am in a better company of myself.
सभ्यता / Civilisation

Interpretation:
Let your qualifications make noise
Your actions reveal something else
You will remain an early human in this world of Jungles
Let others care, if you can’t for yourself
Two Men
********
Met along the way, two men—
One is a brainchild,
And the other, an optical illusion!
Childlike curious, bee-like hardworkin’—
One is a creator,
And the other likes designin’!
Men extraordinaire, energetic—
One is practical,
And the other pragmatic!
Visionary, purposeful, men of trust—
One is kind,
And the other, pleasant!
Brave, gentlemen, men of honour—
One is caring,
And the other full of humour!
Rational men, with ability to reason—
One is a question,
And the other, a solution!

My Lotus Friend
A poem for my friend, Padma

You
Identify your talents; that is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
Feelings and Destiny
Feelings, the toys in the hands of destiny!
Destiny—it thinks not, it cares not;
Plays like a gamer, a self-entertainer!
Pleaded it , “Spare me O’ juggler!”
It turned and turned a blind eye.
It laughs; holds the feelings in its fist.
Destiny—so ruthless. Why so insensitive?
Feelings—only a tiny damselfly
—fast, curious and hungry.
O’ Destiny! Be a mother for once!
Let the feelings fly—to find the food of joy.
O’ Destiny! Be a lover for once!
Do you too have emotions?

रास्ते (Roads)
रास्ते कितने बदल चुके हैं हमारे,
फिर किसी रास्ते पर मुलाकात ना होगी।
स्कूल की बेंच पर भी बैठेंगे साथ अगर,
बात करने को कोई बात ना होगी।
———
Our ways have parted,
Never would we meet again.
If we sit on a school bench together,
There would be nothing to chat again.
