Anything that I think
Emanates from the deep sink
Anything that I read
Gives me a royal brainy feed
Anything that I speak
Classifies me as a geek
Anything that I see
Squeezes soul out of me
Anything that I hear
Sometimes makes me shiver
Anything that I need
Reaches in effortless ease
Anything that I want
I end up only with a taunt
Anything that I write
Comes straight from the heart
Anything that I know
Pushes me only to bow
Anything that I do
Becomes my life of undo
Anything that I ask
Has no selfishness to accuse
Anything that I demand
Keeps me not in the forefront
That’s why
Anything that I pray
Fructifies soon in the day

Happy Diwali
I buy plenty of dresses
But the excitement is missing
I make a lot of sweets
But my mother’s touch is missing
I see crackers on the television
But my father’s mischievous smile is missing
I don’t fight for my share any more
But my brother & sisters are missing
I want to hug Mothi when he shivers for every cracker sound
But his loving presence is missing
Where are those innocent days gone
I am searching and searching
Never to return to them
Still my only wish is………..
Let there be only light everywhere
Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya
Happy Diwali!

A chat between Mind and Heart
[A solitary writer sits near the window gazing at the sky. As he watches the birds flying high, he could hear a dialogue between his mind and heart. Come, let us hear what they talk]
Hey, Heart! How are you?
Going on
I wanted to meet you for a long time
Is it so? Why?
About a question that eats me
Go ahead
Why do you want to write? For glittering name?
No
For ever lasting fame?
No
To accumulate money?
No
To walk with pride?
No
To rule the stage?
No
To cheat others that you are too good?
NEVER
To impress others posing you are great?
No
To imitate other poets & writers?
Not necessary for me
To quench your literary thirst?
It was before, not now
To improve your language skills?
Not interested any more
To expand your knowledge?
I don’t understand this question
To develop thinking power?
Not my cup of tea
To attempt creativity?
Don’t joke around please
To oblige requests?
May be
To etch out pains & pleasures?
May be
To express your love & concern?
May be
To pour open your feelings & emotions?
May be
To record your life?
Is my life really worth?
To play with words?
Sometimes
So do you derive intellectual pleasure?
I can’t say
To expose others?
Why should I? It is not my concern
To preach others?
Me ??????? Never
To be a role model?
I am not one
To compensate your silence?
To a certain extent
To improve your personality?
Yes, but this alone won’t help
What do you want actually?
Nothing
How can you be satisfied?
I am always full
Do you have any demands?
No
Do you like to command?
No
Are you too docile and polite?
Ask others
Do you mar other lives?
Why do you ask me about your job?
Hahaha! Shall I teach you something?
No need
You will look like a clown
Never mind
People will trample on your feelings
I know
They will think and look cheap about you
Let them think
You want to treasure your works
Not very particular
Shall we become friends?
I have no problems
I may influence you
Let me see
I may ruin your life
How can a friend do that?
I am impressed with you
Thanks
Shall we become man and wife?
Hahaha! How can that be?
Why not? I like you very much now
You are fickle and may throw me out
Are you scared of me?
No, I am not smart enough to match you
What if I become so naïve like you?
Fine, I have no problems then
Oh God! You can’t be like this?
Why?
You will be taken for a ride
Let it be. I can’t change
Sorry. I withdraw my proposal. I can’t live with you
Thanks
You are a gone case
I told you earlier itself
You are not sad about this
Thanks for your sentiments
What if I backtalk about you?
What else can I do?
I am in love with you really now
Why do you change stands?
I don’t know why
Think and let me know
Till such time what will you do?
I shall wait patiently
Will you write about me too?
I am suspending all works for sometime
Why?
Please don’t ask me
Is it painful?
Yes, very much
When will you resume?
I don’t know
OK. Take care and I shall be back soon
Sure. You too take care
Bye
Bye
