Two Worlds Around Us ✨

 

Chirping Birds ~ Singing Rain,

War for Glory ~ Bleeding Pain;

Rainbow Clouds ~ Morning Dew,

Running Clocks ~ Rushing Crew...

Is there Enough Around,

To the Chorus Sound;

For the Ones who have Found,

A Yogic Life...

Sparkling Stars ~ Honking Cars,

Scenic View ~ a lengthy Queue;

Dancing Flowers ~ Limited Hours,

Twinkling Lights ~ the Rusty Fights... 

Is there Enough Around,

To the Chorus Sound;

For the Ones who have Found,

A Yogic Life...

With a Beautiful Mind ~ a Clever Sight,

With a Command over Our Thinking Kite;

Maybe you may not ~ or you just Might,

Start seeing much Beyond ~ The Horizon..

between Two Worlds Around Us...

Dream - Plan - Strive & Continue...

A smart little boy in school, when the Teacher Questioned,

What do you aspire to be - apart from what is Destined;

Thought much for nights Two,

Peers wanted to become Doctor, Engineer, few wanted to Sue;

Next morning he ran to the Teacher & Said,

I would rather prefer to be a Banker Instead...

When the Teacher asked Why? Asa kasa kay? (“Why So?” in Marathi language)

He said because the Sky is so High;

To earn & be the richest will take me so much Time,

Better I manage to accumulate the rich mens' wind Chime;

Percussion will be theirs tune would be Mine,

I would secure their funds with a thin margin Line...

No wonder what he Became,

Dreams fell in line & Came;

He got a job in an ICMC, (Currency Chest)

Bundles of cash at every glimpse he could See;

Weeks, Months, Couple of Years later,

He realized he had been a Waiter;

He waited for Success to come to Him,

Never did he approach it with a Strong enough Limb;

Nevertheless he changed his Mantra & Dream,

The Road to success is Persistence & a Strong Smart Team...

He started his own Bank,

Very soon built a corporate office from lending over a wooden Plank;

Time made him Realize,

Trust & Service to the customer made him Rise;

While the rest were busy drawing & crying over the target Graph,

He served his customers more than he ever did to his better Half...

The difference between what he Was & what he Is,

Is only the perception through this Iris;

Dreams do not come True,

Without even some efforts Few;

One needs to Dream - Plan - Strive & Continue,

To enjoy success with overall Aerial View...

To Discover or To Adapt – Change !

It all starts with the day we open our eyes,
We see people are already smarter & wise;
The day we take our very first step,
The marble awaits us neat & hep…

The day we utter our very first word,
We see people already understand our absurd;
The day we put up a cute very smile,
The smartphones seem to be clicking from quite a while…

The day we meet some peers around,
We realize they have learnt the same action & sound;
The day we find a companion very cutie,
Very soon we are told about something as Gender & Beauty…

As we grow and are ready to be learning more,
We realize there’s something as a School - already awaiting outdoor;
As we get admitted to the School outdoor,
Teachers await us to assess & score…

As we sit on a bench & wait,
We learn the story of Time & Date;
As we learn to listen & speak,
We learn the concept of Strong & Weak…

For all this while,
We cry & we smile;
We Follow We Adapt to,
The Change given to us…

Here comes the much awaited time,
To assess the value of our own wind chime;
Either continue to Follow and Adapt,
Or let’s Discover our own mighty raft…

Either do we become the Change,
Or keep craving - to be adapting to it;
Either do we write our own Rhyme,
Or keep humming the tunes we heard & sit…

There are roads laid before we wanted to Visit,
There are flights before we ever wanted to Fly;
There are equipment before we ever dreamt of Diving,
Is the Change being discovered or is everyone just striving…

Are we ready to Discover our own Might ?
Let’s better be Early – before dims the Sunlight…

Let’s Be Positive !

Being Positive – Is a dream for Many,
Quite more than a Penny;
Can never be attained by – drowning in a glass of Feni,
Neither can be borrowed from a close friend Any…

It is a Way of Life,
With or without having a Gf or Wife;
Which makes us see through the glasses Tainted,
Enables us to see even a cracked wall – as delicately Painted…

It is like an elevated Line of Metro,
Railing above the traffic & gazing Retro;
Untouched by the rushing – hawking Street,
Making you reach on time – for that very special Treat…

It is like a glimpse of Light,
When nothing is seen On-site;
Which makes you avoid the wrong from Right,
Which brushes off the dark – smudging each patch as White…

It is like that grain of Wheat,
Which you crush & Beat;
After it reaches you surviving the scorching Heat,
Still nourishes you within each bite you Eat…

Let’s recognize the value of thoughts so Wise,
Let’s refine it off the scatter & Flies;
Let’s think about the sun – hiding behind the blanket of Cloud,
Let’s hear our conscience – while we stand among the people so Loud…

The Way we Think,
Determines whether we Float or Sink;
The Way we See,
Determines What will we Be !

We Should !
We Need To !
We Will !
We Want To – Change ! – Let’s Be Positive !

What do we need ?

From the sudden Dawn,
To the delayed Dusk;
From the Queue for spoons,
To the Quick tea dips in rusk…

We feel so anxious to chase a target,
Keep running through to lead the market;
We get soaked into the ocean called volume,
By EOD get banished almost like a smoked fume…

Given a chance to pursue your heart,
Leaving the strained routines apart;
Gifted an Extra Leave or two,
Let’s think what New would we do…

Apart from gazing at the TV within four walls,
Apart from keeping busy updating posts – attending calls;
Apart from lazing on the beloved bed,
Or visiting our HomeTown instead…

Is there something which we love to do,
Some hobby undiscovered – Some interest which we never knew;
Is there something more loved than Sleep,
Shall we dig into ourselves down deep…

Let’s pursue what we Never paid a heed to know,
Let’s get a Direction – instead of just being a part of the gushing flow;
Let’s discover Ourselves before it gets too late to know,
Let’s Cultivate our minds before it starts to snow…

Repair the Trend...

The trends that we wear,

The friends that we care;

The things very rare,

We think before we tear...

All the money that we own,

Each of our muscle & our bone;

The blood within that flows,

The fact that each of us knows;

Is here not to stay,

Will soon vanish in some way;

Few may sustain a bit longer,

The ones a bit stronger...

So eager are we to dream of things,

So high up we want to fly without wings;

So soon do we forget what we got,

So early do we think of next what not...

A thing or two we use,

We love them & also abuse;

With us does it run for a while,

Someday it suddenly stops with a smile...

Most often we do think to get the new,

Quite rare do we wish to renew;

Is there anything money can't buy,

We have enough to spend than to wait why...

No we are busy to check our phone,

Having a thousand friends we are still alone;

We have so many to click that like,

No we can’t even run without wearing a nike...

Can we not think before we dispose,

Can we fix it suppose;

Can we not invest sometime to repair,

Like the relationships we fight but still care...

It's time to think before we throw,

Even though we earn riches & we grow;

Can we not step up towards the unknown,

To try & learn things about the worn...

Trust me it would take a day, a week or a month or so,

Will make you learn much beyond what you already know;

Will make you change the way you see things around,

Will teach you the power of attempt you never found...

& then we keep talking about Go Green,

Do we just say or do we actually Mean;

The change needs to come from Within,

No victory without a fight is declared as Win…

Are we Ready to Change the Trend ?

Mind It ... !

Diamonds lying in your pocket,
Property filed in your docket;
Now you may see thieves all around,
Oh ! You might even feel afraid, within this huge walled compound...

The one who steals,
Sees cops everywhere;
The one who is guilty,
Gets conscious of every stare...

The modern royal prince,
Sees a slave in each man;
The one being a pauper says,
There's nothing what he can...

A student questions the world across,
A teacher teaches each one;
A wealthy becomes so averse to loss,
A struggler loses out all the fun...

An employee rated high,
Feels on top of the seventh sky;
An employee rated low,
Loses all his cheerful glow...

A human in pain,
Feels there's nothing left to gain;
A human with a smile,
Feels awaited all the while...

A suffering with a man,
Holds him back from what he can;
A medal around his neck,
Makes him cheer so loud on the deck...

We fear what we see as tough,
We jump into the shallow seen pool;
We fear the path which seems to be rough,
We jump off a high wall, just to bunk our school...

We fear the dark forest within a dense night,
We enjoy the same in Sun;
The leopards & the tigers are the same both time,
Think ! It might prove to be quite some fun...

Let's now question what we learn:

We think - What we see ?
OR We see - What we think ?

A Miss. ..

Miss the time to be shared,

Miss the family to be cared;

Miss the confession to be made,
Miss the foundation to be laid...

Miss the campaign I never led,

Miss the words I never said;

Miss the needy I never fed,

Miss the mistakes instead... 

Miss the moment together,
Miss the mist & the weather;
Miss the bird with the feather,
Miss the Internet to tether...

Miss the team to belong,
Miss the friend who was along;
Miss the group one small,
Miss the eyes which said it all...

Miss the gushing river,

Miss the breezy shiver;

Miss the so dry rain,

Miss the heat & pain...

Miss the toys to play,
Miss the kulfi in a pot of clay;

Miss the bench-mate who copied,
Miss the roommate who stole;
Miss the life I didn't live,
Miss the story & my role...

Do we need a second life to recollect this ?
Or can we grab this 'was' from the present 'is' ?
