Waterless the world has become
with almost no rains for three months
around the equator and tropics
the rivers have dried up
the water sources are empty
the man, the animals and birds
appear thirsty all through
the plants and trees look paltry
withered and dry with no green leaves
a sight horrible to see
a season terrible to experience.

To Remain Silent.
Writing is not everybody’s forte
talking is neither every one’s strength
silence is not all in common
there is a skill for each
going by the word in write
accompanied by the eloquence
followed by the quietness.
All cannot aspire to become a writer
nor could they be an orator
but they could at least be a spectator
which in a specific sense
kindles a great response and appreciation
as unlimited talk turns offensive
the monotonous dialogue converts itself to a boredom..
Amusing to note silence is a technique
many forget that they have two ears
that tell us to listen more
talk less and be watchful
which in turn becomes a difficulty
unnecessary talk leads to chaos
that disrupts peace and tranquillity

The Missed Rhythm
The rituals and procedures
that go about in a marriage
sends an awe and at times frightening
where there is no importance to that is apparent
where there is a claim for the unseen or abstract
The faith in astrology is great in India
star and planets govern with authority
the other rally behind this cohesiveness
many alliance get detained by the expertise
which they call a science of great strength.
Astrology does command a respect
that depends on the person who practises
as many unlearned try to read the lines
that sound not exact but misleading
breaking many prospects in weddings.
Each event has to take place in appropriate time
when the stars and tithis are favourable
when the horai and kuligai lie specifies
while rahu kala and emakandam are not found
the good bodings go off in a spree.
India is ancient and traditional
still hangs on to the age-old customs
those that were seen in broad perceptions earlier
have narrowed done to strict forfeitures
that permeate all over with a movement not forward.
