A Tribute to a universal icon - a legend - Roger Federer

 I can cry as well as him,but I wish I could play as well as him.-Andy Murry

Was it your forehand groundstrokes,

Or was it your backhand crosscourt

Was it your aces

Or was it your dropshots

You had us all mesmerized

 

Was it your aura on the court

Or your charisma off it

You had us all astonished.

 

Was it your cries,

Or was it your smiles

Was it your defeats

Or was it your victories

You had us all stunned.

 

You do not inspire a generation

You do not inspire a nation

You inspire an octa generation (eight Generations)

You inspire an entire universe

 

You taught us more than our teachers

You taught us never to say die until its really over.

You taught us to fight till the end.

You taught us to cry uninhibitedly ,unashamedly and unapologetically

Roger Federer you always gave a breadth of fresh air.

Hellish World

Those that have an attitude of service towards others are the beauty of society. - Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

Everyone here comes and recites ”Amma Amma Amma”
Some glossy,some through heartfelt devotion.

Though each one here claims to be a devotee.

Many smile, some from within,many a plastic
Some cry instantaneously in her arms,relieving their burden.

Though each one here claims to be a devotee.
 
Few sensible,innumerable fools 
Some with deep pain,some artificial
some fake tears, all find a way in.

Though each one here claims to be a devotee.

Some come in search of happiness,some to bury their sorrow.

Few are compassionate here,many egoistic.

Though each one here claims to be a devotee.

Some praise,some hurl abuses,some shed tears,some smile
Many are selfless,few selfish.
Though the mantra here seems to be DONATIONS, DONATIONS and more DONATIONS.

Though each one here claims to be a devotee.

She consoles each one,
whether rich or poor,
knowledgable or ignorant,
whether selfish or selfless
with same ounce of love and compassion.

For her,each one is her devotee ,her child.

When will my time come…

“There are no mistakes, only opportunities." – Tina Fey

When will the sun shine

When will the moon soothe back

When will the stars twinkle bright

Are the flowers going to bloom

When are the winds going to blow

When are  the rivers going to flow

When will the waves comfort

When will the thunder strike again 

When will the lightening light again

When will the ocean sing back

When will the nature preserve

Will the birds chirp again

Will the elephant trumpet

Will the lions roar again

When will I start to fly

When will my opportunity come

When will I get to show my work,

When will I be in the media in their Prime Time

When will Indians start looking up to me

When will the World turn up towards me.

                                     

When will my time come…

Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

Hey maa tujhe pukaaru main

I blame you for my miseries

I blame you for my sorrows
I blame you for my misfortune
I blame you for my suffering

I blame you for my illness

I blame you for my downtroddeness

I blame you for my hopelessness 

Hey maa tujhe pukaru main

Hey maa will you forget

Hey maa will you forgive

Hey maa will you uplift

Hey maa will you cure

Hey maa will you listen to my plea…

A tribute to Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam- "LIKE HIM"

                               "All Birds find shelter during a rain.

                   But Eagle avoids rain by flying above the Clouds." 

             Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference!!!
                                        - APJ Abdul Kalam

Will there ever be anyone like him,

Will anybody have an audacity to make us dream like him

Will there ever be an igniting mind like him

Will anyone come to ignite us like him

Will we ever have any extraordinary leader like him

Will anyone ever lead us like him

Will you continue to inspire us like no one has,

Will you continue to motivate us like no one has

Will the future ever believe there lived a great human being like you

Will there ever be a bharat ratn like him in the world ,I wonder.

Who will teach us now,

Who will guide us now.

Who will light our path now

Who will dispel the darkness

Who will show us the path

Who will fill the void,now

Who will make us dream

Who will make us fly

Who will dare us to act beyond our boundaries

Will there ever be anyone like him

Will there ever be anyone like him

Tere bin jiya jaye naa

When did you say you are leaving?

You never said a Good bye ,

When did you  say you would leave me alone

You never said either a good bye neither wave your hand.

You left me alone in crisis and went away

Why did you leave me alone ?

Why did you leave me alone ?

The room was filled with darkness,

I was waiting for you, to light the lamp of brightness,

You went back, the way you came in,

i never wanted you to go

I never wanted you to go

I never knew of your leaving neither your arrival

Why did you leave?

Why did you leave?

I wanted you not to  go, but for me to come to you

Why did you go?

Why did you go?

Did you not have enough power to fight the world

And Come back for me

And Come back for me

I have lots of things to share and speak about.

Come back
Come back.

Consciousness

Krishna Consciousness establishes the most opulent ,the most powerful,the most influential and the most effective culture

Let all our decisions be made by consciousness
 not corrupted by mind, intellect or body

Let our reponse to situations be of kuruna.

 Let not anger ,greed ,lust corrupt our minds.

Like a mirror once broken has  to be replaced,
consciousness once lost cannot be replaced.

So let our thoughts , words and actions
reflect consciousness rather than hollowness .

Let all our decisions  reflect  fundamentals  of consciousness
and not motivated by  personal profits.

FARMER SUICIDES

Everyday I hear farmers commiting suicide

Each time I hear, I wonder why ?

Is it the drought?

Is it the unpaid loans?

Is it the scruples moneylenders?

Is it the hunger?

Is the esteem?

Is it the pride?  I wonder...

I am sure there is a solution for all...

Is it the loans that the government waives of at each election

And other times they are left to fend for themselves.

Some places I see lots of grains,lying,unutilised,rotting

Can’t they be distributed ,I wonder.

They say they don’t have cold storages,

As if cold storages have to be brought form Mars.

And every time government forms committee after committee

And report after reports

But still farmers go  on a suicide spree.

Sometimes the government prods itself saying ,

This year the no. of deaths are less than the last year

But isn’t a single death shameful.

Should I helplessly watch ,I wonder

Shall I tell them  STOP,DON’T,PLEASE

There is a solution for everything.
Can I give them an ounce of hope,I wonder?
Will they listen to my words,I wonder?
Will they understand and respond to my words,I wonder?

Can I bring back some happiness and smiles,I wonder...?

Can I empower them to a respectable and healthy life,I wonder...?

My Lifeline:Trains

The chaos of the trains,

the excitement of getting in

Or of  getting out that excites one  I wonder

The people all ready, some going westward, some eastward

All going some “ward.

Some getting down  from the train

Some wanting to get in

Some at the roofs ,

Some at the doors

All having a destination to go

The train accommodates them all without any complains

You are witness to some callings everyday ,everytime

Everyone is a hero here ,some local ranjikants

Who  stand at the doors and rooftops and show their stunts

And I must say they make you scary , at times a loud squeal escapes you

But must say they give even Bollywood a run for its money.

Whether it is the mornings,

the energetic faces fresh after a night’s sleep looking forward to their today

Or the evenings  where the faces show no emotion, tired and wanting to retire.

All trying to make ends meet, some ticketless, some with them

One one thing is common they all take THE TRAIN.

Where are you

Tears have stopped rolling,

Eyes have dried

They do say blank

Don't know what  happiness is
Don't know where I can find it
Don't know if I can buy it 

The crickets cricking

Makes me fear

Makes my heart crumble

If something may happen to you.

Every tomorrow is a yesterday night spent in fear

The dogs at the gates bark,sends my mind racing of what is to happen now.

Every tomorrow is seen more with despair than optimisim.

My heart calls out loud

Where r u

Where r u

I search for you in every passing girl

I search for you in every passing moment

I search for you every passing day

Is it divine play or devils play?

Why did you not call...

When you left

Why did you not tell,

When you came

Why did you not tell,

When I asked ,

Why did you not tell

When I asked repeatedly,

Even then you did not tell

Its 1 paisa per second these days

Nobody told,not a single soul

Neither my divinity,nor the rains

Not even NDTV.

The sun did arise ,so did marie kom

But i was kept in darkness

Why did you not tell.

I tried to find

I tried to ask

But nobody responded.

I did say ”I wait I wait”  a few months back

If only you had called once.

Should i curse destiny or mankind,i donot know

Definitely though ,fuck xxxxx – a school of bastards.

If only you had called once

If only you had called once

AND

If only i had known

If only I had known.

Children

Children you are a marvel

Children you are the jewel

Children you are the smile that makes me smile

Children you are the hope that can move despair

Children you are the strength that move the fears apart

Children you are the light that dispels the darkness

Children you are the happiness that dispels the sorrows,

Children you are the  smiles that  dispels the cries

Children you are the gems that stand and wether  the storms

Children you are the skies  that move the mountains

Children you are the knowledge that blaze the  gloom of ignorance

Children you are the fire that ignites thousand minds

Children you are the flame that ignites the world

Children you are the one with HIM

Children you are the one with HIM.

Dreams

Dreams you are heavenly angels

Dreams if you were absent this place would have been lifeless.

Dreams you provide me an ignition for creation.

Dreams you provide me with joy in the most difficult times

Dreams you are like bundles of energy and bundles of joy

Dreams you make me smile

Dreams you are my innocence, you are my enthusiasm

Dreams you are my drive,you are my patience

Dreams you are a source of bliss

Dreams you make me feel good even in darker skies and flowing volcanoes

Dreams you can move mountains and flowing rivers in a desert

Dreams help me find a beautiful angel even in Antartica

Dreams help in see greener grasses in Vidarbha

Dreams you help to see a beautiful world

Dreams you help to see a better tomorrow

Dreams help to see a better India.

Dreams you are what India is all about.

Breakups...

Breakup ke baad in 1962

The Breeze has stopped blowing
The sunshine has gone
The winds are dry
The sun sets by  the horizon,an uneasy gloom desends in to the room....
There is only darkness ,darkness and more darkness
The tears in the eyes have frozen,
they do not come anymore.


but then there are memories of you which i cherish and
there are moments of you that remain in my mind.
These moments keep me awake ,
these moments make make live on.....
Are these special....or are these heartbreaking?


If you had to go why did you come
if you had to come why did you go
When you were
I was happy
when you are not
I am not



Breakup in 2012

The Mcvegis have lost its charm,so do the Mgcrills
The strawberry milkshake have lost its sweetness,
So have  the chocobars


The nightpubs seems a den of darkness
No longer the girls with big assets make you stare,
Neither the girls with shorter shirts make your head tilt
niether does a poonam panday  excite you

Shah Rukh khan movies look from prehistoric times
The office gossip seem to be a pravachan of the gita....

The eyes dont seems to see anything
but total darkness, darkness and more darkness.

When she is not I am not

My best friend

You are my sole.
You are my Jaan
You are my little heart.
You are a part of my life

A life without you is unimaginable

Every moment spent without you,seems an eternity.
Every hour with you a second

You are my sweetheart--
--My best friend !!!

Intoxication

Is it her darker eyes or

Is it her eye lashes

Is it her slender body or

Is it her long hair

Is it her lips or

Is it the smile in between them

Her curves are a beauty

Her carasses smooth

I long for her

I long for her caresses

My thoughts occupied by her,

My mind in absorbed in her.

Even a drop of tears in her eyes, makes me tear the world apart.

Each droplet making me red with anger

I am intoxicated about her

I am intoxicated with her

What should I do?

What should I ask?

What should I tell?

I do not know?

I do not know?
