Which is a beauty?

Anything that fits your frame of concept

Made in the brain from habits, practice,

Customs, culture or the taste of high-class,

Will appeal to you as ones beautiful.

21.03.2015

Who must be credited?

An actor performs as the director bids him.

A person performs as the God desires him to.

Must the credit go to the performers

Or the ones at whose bids things are done?

21.03.2015

Truth is unwelcome.

Ninety percent population,

Brought up from the frozen mindset,

Will be offended or grow wild

If I speak the truth about God.

18.03.2015

Natural justice denied

Reservation by cast or religion

Would frustrate the bright or the able ones

And weaken the systems’ efficiency,

Adding victims of incompetency.

17.03.2015

Relief is a pleasure

Spring and Autumn are good

But winter is harsh.

Only Spring steals the show;

Autumn gets no red carpet.

Spring is a reliever

Of discomfort of winter.

Relief is more a pleasure.

16.03.2015

The fly and the cow

A fly can sting a cow and makes her wince

But one is only an insect in rank

And the other is a cow still, to note.

It is not to pride itself on its act.

15.03.2015

[Inspired by Samuel Johnson]

Exceptionalism

Necessities make one corrupt.

Competitions make one corrupt.

Fueled ego makes one corrupt.

Exceptionalism comes to resqué.

Exceptionalism is justification

That you or your ground is different

From that of others, and stands as special

With no need to conform to norms or rules.

15.03.2015

Friendships across gender

Which woman has not ended her friendship

With a man because she smelt love in it?

Which lady has not ended her friendship

With a lord because she felt sex in it?

She bears no regrets but get aversion

Towards such person for further contacts.

15.03.2015

The cause changes into the effect. ^

The cause does not produce the effect.

The cause changes into the effect.

Cotton and yarn are the cause and effect.

Cotton changes to yarn, not produce it.

15.03.2015

Transfer of information

Transfer of information is the base

Of evolutionary theory.

It takes place when two gametes meet and join

To form a zygote by passing their genes.

That is why a baby is the copy

Of its parents in behaviors

Attitudes and instinctual actions,

Duly improved by each generation

From the natural selection.

15.03.2015

One sided love

Love is exchange of faith;

Love is exchange of sway.

A sign of loyalty;

Souls insecure seek love.

Love is to influence one

And yield to one’s influence

For a satisfaction

In a secured feeling.

Love one sided gives it half

Like one’s devotion to God.

15.03.2015

Rama and Krishna

 Rama is a character;

Krishna is a character.

They are heroes in Epics.

They aren’t at fault

If they are made Gods

By the descendants.

15.03.2015

The sweetest music

The song that is sweet to listen

grows sweeter to one who sings it

And the sweetest to one who have

It catch on among audience.

15.03.2015

The opposite bank is greener.

Does he seem to be a better husband

Than the one you have had for a decade?

No, you are mistaken; he’d not be so

If he were yours and lived with you for long.

Does she seem to be a sweeter wife

Than the one you have got for some years?

No, you have mistaken; she ‘d not be so

If she were yours and lived with you for long.

14.03.2014

For peace to stay

The Gita teaches about Karma Yoga.

Engaging in action will be Karma.

Detachment to the outcome of action

Is Karma Yoga, told in six tenets.

Do the work fairly, following ethics.

Do it diligently without laxity.

Have eyes on the work, not on the result.

Accept the result whatever it is.

Disown any pride following success.

Be not possessive of such success.

Such Karma Yoga practiced by all

No religion is required to spread peace.

13.03.2015

The brave

The brave one fears not the defeat,

With little to worry about.

He is braver than the one

Who fights to escape defeat.

11.03.2015

Natural selection

Parents are not your choice;

Children are not your choice.

So is your spouse or neighbor.

Teachers and colleagues too;

How good or bad they are

To you is nothing but luck,

Which’s  natural selection.

09.03.2015  

Woman’s rise

‘I no longer cook like my mother

And shall drink like my father’ she said

On an International Woman Day.

Pulling down man is not the way

To uplifting woman, she must know.

She must get freedom from dogmas,

From sexist beliefs, oppression

And chauvinistic approaches.

Don’t you want him to mother your kids;

You cannot replace him for a father.

08.03.2015

A zero and a hollow

If you have no means, you are a zero.

No host and no guest, you would want to be.

You wield no influence with the people

And cannot spread your skills across.

You would be spineless in front of your wife.

Your courage would wilt to exercise your right.

It is like growing crops without water.

If you have no means, you are a hollow.

05.03.2015

Does a woman deserve a rape?

Does a woman stunningly dressed

Invite a rape?

Does a woman roaming at night

Deserve a rape?

Must a woman meekly submit

To one’s raping?

Must a woman shove the rape-shame

Under the carpet?

‘Yes’ was the answer to these from

A rapist-convict.

Government censored the interview

To Indian Public.

Better to bury bitter news

Was the motto.

Mind set of men in India

Cannot be changed.

05.03.2015

Exit from the world

No colleague will get sorrow

On your superannuation.

The same will be the case

When anyone exits the world.

05.03.2015

Let us fear God

It is a rope and not a snake.

The child took it to be a snake

And behaved with the fear at heart.

It is a stone and not the God.

Man folks took it to be the God

And behaved with the fear at heart.

True or false, fear complex impacts

Human for a good conduct.

04.03.2015

Vibration of energy

Even solid stone is in vibration;

Placid water too is in vibration.

Mater is not solid but really

Is a vibration of energy.

Matter and energy are not different

In terms of movements of molecules.

Conversion from matter to energy

Is from lower to higher vibration.

Life force vibrates all organisms

In addition to the vibration of bodies.

04.03.2015

The brain is the individual.

Eyes replaced, there is no difference

In the perception and reaction.

One’s brain is one’s individuality.

No other part replaced will change one.

04.03.2015

Give meaning to life.

Life is without meaning;

The sense gives it meaning.

Words are without meaning.

Knowledge brings it meaning.

A mouse can be a rodent

Or a device as well.

A crane can be a bird

Or a machine as well.

Give meaning to life

And be distinct from beasts.

03.03.2015

No need of Gym

Muscular man harbours sexist belief.

Man with sexist belief becomes muscular.

They are not in the selection lists

Of modern women who value freedom.

01.03.2015

Death is holy.

 Life and fire exist on combustion.

Their existence is destruction.

Life and fire are held holy yet.

Death puts an end to destruction.

03.03.2015

Love dies before one dies.

 Love starts with parents and shifts to lovers,

Then to a spouse and then to one’s children.

Towards the end it rests on grandchildren.

Then without stake, it dies before one dies.

02.03.2015

Beliefs ruin one.

All the good things come to an end.

All the bad things come to an end.

Springs and winters come to an end.

This stage would change at any stage.

Contentment is easy to get.

It is the key of the happiness.

Between too much and too little

Can you find happiness in life.

Religions promise an after-life.

It is the bait it hooks you with.

Reward for conducts and relief

From pain, religions promise you.

Each one follows one’s instincts

And not intelligence, most of time.

Most of decisions are made

At subconscious, not conscious.

Only at the end of one’s career

Could one realize that how wasteful

One has led one’s life on beliefs

Faiths and hopes, all unfounded.

27.02.2015

Shaivism – a religion

Shaivism revolves around Lord Shiva.

Tantric philosophy gave birth to it.

Kashmir Shaivam is with monastic faith

 While Shaiva Siddandam is dualistic.

Bhairava, Rudhra and Shiva have been

Three forms akin in ferociousness 

To the Wild Bull, the Bull and the Ox.

He and his subjects profess humbleness.

As Shiva, He is potential energy;

As Sakti, He is creative energy.

Conjugation of male and female

Is symbolized by Linga, the idol.

Shiva reminds you of your destination.

Ash is what one would become after death.

He wears ash to remind us of the end

And to live observing austerity.

Followers of Shiva is in firm belief

That they’d get painless death, the Moksha.

Glorious rich life with horrible death

Is a tragedy they want to escape from.

27.02.2015

( I am a Shaivait. My father had insisted on me to devote to Shiva for a death without being bed ridden, and he left his little cash for the village Shiva Temple and died peacefully at my lap at his 93in 2007)

Which is faster?

Many languages will die soon, some predict,

Because of English as the world language.

Human race will die sooner, some predict,

Because of the Sun heat and carbon dust.

27.02.2015

Others’ views kill me.

I must grow such that my parents are proud.

I must stay such that my spouse is proud.

I must move such that my children are proud.

These in mind, I’ve drained my blood all my life.

27.02.2015

Affection dissipating

Brotherly affection is halved

When siblings have got parenthood.

Little affection is retained

Once they’ve got grandparenthood.

No sorrow in depth will engulf

When the co born departs from them,

Thanks, their parents would not be there

To witness the disintegration.

27.02.2015

Unattached observations

To fall is not a disgrace;

Waterfalls are nice to look at.

To stoop is not a disgrace;

Paddy stoops heavy with corns.

Failure is not a disgrace;

Waves ebb with soothing delight.

Blurring is not a disgrace;

Mist is delightful to watch.

To observe things is beauty

Though negative in action.

19.02.2015

The cost of people

Harvests can be manifold

Of seeds sown in the field.

To earn love and affection

From the people chosen,

One has to sow many folds

Of favours and efforts.

Decide whether it is worth

Having friends and relations.

18.02.2015

To segregate selfishness

It’s very hard for one to navigate

Between selfishness and selflessness.

To exist is to live on other organisms.

Which itself would amount to selfishness,

16.02.2015

To segregate selfishness

It’s very hard for one to navigate

Between selfishness and selflessness.

To exist is to live on other organisms.

Which itself would amount to selfishness,

16.02.2015

Abundance of choice

Mate selection has now become easy.

Barriers of caste and religion are cut.

Men and women study or work together.

Abundance of choice afflicts selections.

What if I commit and someone better

Come along later? A boy is worried.

What if someone far better come along

After I am married? A girl is worried.

Every woman waits for a prince;

Every man waits for a princess.

They exhaust their age and spirit of love

And find a mate to be dissatisfied with.

Tendency to skip marriage commitment

And settle in live-in relationships

Seems handy for the pair independent.

Abundance of choice means discontentment.

15.02.2015

Cleaning is shifting.

People being clean, their houses are dirty.

Houses being clean, their yards are dirty.

Their yards being clean, their areas are dirty.

Dirt is only shifted by cleaning it.

15.02.2015

Animals’ love

Love is reckless, reasons not.

Reason will seek a profit.

Love is aimless; no purpose;

Purpose will seek benefit.

Animals have no reasons.

They love truly unlike man.

15.02.2015

No revenge

Grass takes no revenge on cows;

Cows take no revenge on lions.

Slaves take no revenge on masters.

Masters take no revenge on beasts.

To eat and to be eaten is life.

Revenge breeds within the species.

14.02.2015

Love and jealousy

When you love, you cannot be jealous.

When you are jealous, you cannot love.

Man and woman are hardly jealous

Of each other , due to sexual pulls.

14.02.2015

Man’s wants from woman in bed

What is man’s mind when he’s on woman in bed?

Manicure and pedicure are irrelevant.

Draperies and jewelries are immaterial.

Lipsticks and eyes kohl are inconsistent.

He likes her more when she is fresh from bath.

He wants her eyes when in a half shut mood

And her hand holding the pillow or his trunk.

The climax is when she takes him in her palm.

Plum figure is not a disgrace to his eyes.

A little flesh in the belly is welcome.

The dark skin is not a deterrent one.

Shyness against invasion is welcome.

It is a waste of money and the time

For a woman to decorate herself

With all that the ultra fashion demands.

Her participation keeps him with him.

13.02.2015

Woman is helpless.

Fully draped, yet woman is helpless.

Curves, contours and shapes would betray her.

Her face and hair are enough to strike a man.

To skip man’s searching eyes, she is helpless.

13.02.2015

The endless pit

Greed is an endless pit.

It exhausts a person

In his endless efforts

To fill it to the brim

With satisfactions.

13.02.2015

Man’s drive is five fold.

Survival, breeding, domination

And territory are the four domains

Where all organisms get their drives.

Man’s drive is for after-death name also.

12.02.2015

A movement

More ignorant than me must you be

To be my disciple or servant.

Duller than me be or vacate the place.

The bright and not the weak shall be weeded.

11.02.2015

Love is not gift.

Be it love that makes the lovers flutter

With joie de vivre in their pursuit of love.

Be it not the gift that makes the lovers flutter.

The expensive gift need not bring results.

 Be a gift you give, a token of love,

And not to sound as a bribe or a bait

To the partner, which will dampen her love.

Intimacy and transparency will do.

Empathy and identity will do.

Must there be chemistry to strike the deal.

10.02.2015

The creation theory

The creation theory says

That God has made the world

With all its diversities.

The evolution theory says

That random chance creates the world,

With chemicals changing into genes

And genes into living things

With varieties over millions of years

From natural selection

And mutation under compulsion.

The people who had invented

The creation theory, would not have done

Had they been born after Charles Darwin.

08.02.2015

Focus on luck.

Find where your luck lies and not where talents.

Be your search for the luck, and not talents.

You do one thing well but not the other.

If the luck favours the latter, grab it.

08.02.2015.

Where lies vacuum?

One’s death creates a vacuum

Only in one’s children’s hearts

And grand-kids to an extent.

It would not be found elsewhere.

08.02.2015

Giving and receiving

Is giving good or receiving?

Is giver noble or receiver?

In giving, ego gets a boost

And sets to lead to arrogance.

In receiving, ego gets a beat

And bleeds to humiliation.

Feeling insecure, one gives.

Being insecure, one gets.

In giving, possessiveness dilutes.

In receiving, greediness consolidates.

Willingness to give to someone

Who is in utter need to get

Is the wise giving and receiving.

Giving is good; receiver is noble.

03.02.2015

Mother knows her child.

He reads less and plays more.

He writes less and colours well.

He loathes arithmetic

And do manual works.

The teacher wrote him of.

His mother kept him up.

03.02.2015

Man is rational.

With his sixth sense, man can discriminate

The right and the wrong, and pick the wrong.

Only man makes laws, police, courts and jails.

Only he holds governments and universities.

02.02.2015

Victims of media

Heroines romance in scanty clothes,

That they’d not dare to wear in public.

Modals exhibit revealing clothes,

That they feel shy wearing in public.

Media is selling; must we be buying?

Media is fooling; must we be fooled?

02.02.2015

Adornments

Paddy crops adorn the field.

Lotus plants adorn the pond.

Modesty adorns woman.

Composure adorns man.

02.02.2015

Be a poet, not a poetry writer.

A poet is more than a poetry writer.

He writes a lot and adheres to a form

Of convention or a standard he’s set.

He abstracts for universal appeals.

It is from outside that a poet works,

Taking a step back for observation.

He writes to unburden himself in verses,

And make readers unburden themselves.

01.02.2015

To chase and to escape

Laws are amended to combat the might.

The might find a way to overcome it.

Drugs are upgraded to combat germs.

The germs find a way to resist attacks.

Leopard and dear learn running fast.

Each one is at war to hunt and to flee.

01.02.2015

Travelers are we.

If God has created the Universe,

Who had created the God as the first?

There’s always a problem with a beginning-

A puzzle human minds cannot solve.

The science discovers how the Universe works.

The religions conceptualize why it works.

Scientists emerge and prophets emerge.

Many more inventions and revelations.

We are caught in between in the voyage

Like ones who travel between two stations

In a train that goes without a known

Destination and without a time schedule.

01.02.2015

People progress

I was promoted to the next standard

To occupy that class vacated by students

And to leave the class for upcoming ones,

Like one who moves in a queue to reach.

01.02.2015

Nonviolence includes violence.

Nonviolence includes violence too

If it as a duty prevents violence

Or as a norm helps win the justice

Or as a form kills the less important.

Police use violence to control the mob.

Army wage war to guard the territory.

A child is rescued at a cost of a beast.

Violence was expected from Arjuna,

Who had run away from obligatory

Task of defense in the Epic War

For fear of violence he might cause

To his kin and gurus in the battle.

Lord Krishna bid him to rise to fight

As a warrior to do his duty,

With a series of dialogue known as Gita.

Nonviolence includes violence too

In minimal dose to a higher result.

30.01.2015

Fear of the society

Fear of being lynched rather than the law

Prevents sexual crimes in a society.

Stigma attached to adultery, not laws,

Secures fidelity in the society.

Otherwise, the society has decayed.

30.01.2015

To identify Hindu gods

Lord Rama with a bow;

Lord Krishna with a flute;

Lord Muruga with a spear;

Lord Siva with a snake.

Goddess Parvathi with a trident;

Goddess Lakshmi with a lotus;

Goddess Sarasvathi with a yarp;

God and goddess have

No faces of their own.

They are identified

With fixed accessories.

30.01.2015

The actor and the witness

In each of us live

An actor and a witness.

When you respond

You become an actor.

When you don’t respond

You are a witness.

Some are intentional

And some are incidental.

A witness has more peace

Than an actor gets.

28.01.2015

Possessive of God

A woman occupying all the time

A man’s thought, he is possessive of her.

A God’s name occupying all the time

A man’s mind, is he possessive of God?

28.01.2015

In a way all are slaves.

A slave does as his master bids.

I’m provoked as you provoke me.

I’m moved as you instigate me.

Am I different from a slave?

28.01.2015

To vent anger

When you get hunger, you address yourself.

When you get anger, you want to fix someone.

Let that someone be a nonliving thing

So that you are safe from retaliation.

27.01.2015

Fate, Free Will and God

The world is beyond one’s comprehension.

We have no clue to many of happenings.

We discover how things are performing

With no answer as to why they do so.

Why must the sun burn, the earth revolve

And rotate and living things come into being?

We are, therefore, left to perceive the world

Only through a frame of references.

Fate, Free Will and God are the chief three frames

Through which we see all manifestations.

We are left no choice but to withdraw

To our constructed realities

With inherent limitation explained

Away by myth and Mythology.

No wonder, we believe the mythology

As we do in Fate, Free Will and God.

24.01.2015
