Merry Christmas


The birth of Jesus is celebrated as Christmas, since the thirteenth century.

The incarnation of God and redeemer of human race, Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of  Christianity.

He was born to retrieve the world from sin, perfidy and greed.

Jesus was  a heroic  mighty man capable of performing miracles and he had a penchant for the poor and women.

A similar birth is the need of the hour , to resurrect the world from suffering, pain , and treachery.

Let us wish for a divine apparition to save us from political uncertainty, economic turbulence and behavioural turmoil.

Let us hope for an  assured deliverance of  good, cheer , gaiety and prosperity in the year 2009.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

The Fixation


Spinning money , is the latest mania.

Mortals are obsessed with money and its allurements.

Make money , by hook or crook, become rich overnight, wallow in luxury, display  wealth ,are the maxims of the present populace.

Calling a convention, for  obscure  events is the fashion of the day.

Hosting a big party for  insignificant idylls is the way of  today’s life.

Spending extravagantly for short ,irrelevant issues , is the progression of society.

This strange behaviour is absolutely erroneous.  It puts salt into my mouth. It  is an abrupt contempt for society.

It  may  be termed as total disregard for environment.

Environment  pollution is not  only restricted to  surroundings, to noise, to air , to water,but also to behaviour.

This nauseating attitude  contaminates the mind by causing dipleasure and discomfort .

The harm committed thus is grave and serious., leading to mental discomfiture.

Remainder Reminder


Remainder usually remminds us of the original.

The  remainder of the financial gallery is a ghostly reminder.The reminder  is the pale skeleton of the original.There is virtually nothing,. That which cannot be destroyed has been annihilated, has been exhumed.

I go back to my school days, when my Maths teacher would din subtraction and division into our heads.

What is the remainder you derived , when you  divided 66 by 5 ?

We answered  the reminder is 1.

Now what will be the reminder , if you divide 66 by 6?

We shouted , it is 0  (zero.)

Recent economic digressions remind us of this remainder.

The financials  show a net remainder of zero.

No value can be attributed to stocks and products.

Depletion of stock value have cost many a life.

Disappearance of  money invested in hedge funds have led to loss of lives.

Job losses have directed  death.

Wage displacement have moved towards ending life.

The economy melt down has swiftly effaced prosperity and eluded mental equanimity.

The downturn is driving us mad, is provoking us , is presenting a gloom , is spreading despair and forcing us to writhe in anguish.

Life becomes a hallucination, a perception void of stimulus, and transcription devoid of growth.

Stars By Your Side.


What  do the stars foretell?

What are the predictions for this week?

What sign is favourable ?

What colour is lucky ?

Which number  is  propitious?

How many questions  cross the mind? How many issues get stuck by deliberating on such trivia?

Why should we attribute so much importance to such frivolous concepts.?

Our goal, is to progress, to advance in  our pursuits, to earn for our sustenance, to extend love and consideration, and to be a worthy mortal.

These perceptions , do not need astrological endorsements, do not require numerological coherence,  do not insist colour combinations, but forebodes a clear mind and  passion for performance.

An  unabated spirit ,is sufficient to go through most difficult situations, and emerge with robust success .

The stars need not be in your side, but  gritty determination  and honest transparency  in  your mind  will lead  you to eternal  triumph and glory.

Rivers Of India


Yore

Rivers infused faith,

Rivers professed sanctity,

Rivers prompted  worship,

Rivers symbolised purity,

Now,

Rivers emante odour,

Rivers exhibit contamination

Rivers reveal impurity.

Still,

Rivers  aid mortals,

But

Man thwarts River .

The Enthusing Love


Love and let live.

Love thy neighbour as thyself

There are innumerable quotes that speak high of love.

With the complexity and diversity of feelings, love is difficult to be defined.

It is an abstract emotion.

I had to attend a function of one of my relatives, in honour of his sixtieth birthday.

He is a man of limited means, but possesses  lovable grace.

He is shot in stature , but towers above all in  his behaviour.

He is thorough in our rituals and practices, very affable, very helpful and no gossip monger.

He moves about unobtrusively , and a call brings him to the spot.

His sixteeth birthday function drew a large crowd.  People associated with him , relatives , friends , took part in the celebration with a full heart and extended their well wishes  in good faith.

The feast that followed was excellent. The small thoughtful gift , he gave was simple but beautiful.

The function was devoid of pomp and splendour, of ostentation and display of wealth.

Instead , it was one  that revealed that Love  without riches can perform, Love without glamour  can  emerge victorious.

It showed that Love conjoined with modesty and simplicity  would result in unnerving friendship and inimitable sublimity.

Indian Synergy


The jaguar deal of the Tatas is making much noise.

The Tatas are inclined to inject tens of millions of pounds immediately into Jaguar.

The British Raj  enslaved India .They  ruled imperiously, behaved atrociously,  decimated India’s wealth , bifurcated the country, and left the nation  after debasing and degrading the economy, the culture, and the mental make up.

Jaguar land Rover , is the key contributor to U.K. economy.Its bankruptcy will affect the industry.

The U. K government is deliberating  on  the bail out for  jaguar .

Tata Motors infusion of  funds is a great sign of relief for the British government.We are witnessing a poetic irony.

What  an amazing turn of events.

The once powerful  ruler Britain , gets funds from one of its erstwhile colonies, India

Trees in a Garden


Lovely trees in a garden,

reveal  a sensuous delight

Huge trees in  a garden,

project a shady canopy.

Fruit trees in  a garden,

provide a grand feed.

Leafy trees in the garden,

present a greenish hue.

Flowery trees in the garden,

Portray  a pictorial galore.

Cluster of  trees  in  a garden,

propel   surplus  downpour.

Vibrancy of trees in a garden.

intensifies celestial sublimity.

Plastic Everywhere.


Here a plastic, there a plastic,

Everywhere a plastic, plastic ,plastic,-goes the modern rhyme.

There was a convention in my neighbourhood.  The gathering were a batch of local environmental experts . The speakers were delivering speeches of how to prevent environmental damage.

Many reporters were jotting the main points , related to the issue.

My mind was raving about,as I had never been a proper listener. My eyes got stuck on the plastic podium, the plastic table with a plastic  vase adorned by plastic flowers. The table was covered by a plastic sheet.  Mineral water in plastic bottles were distributed to the  delegates to wet their throat.

The talk was going on,and speaker after speaker decried the use of plastic. I was amused. The situation and the core subject were  contradictory.

 We dispersed for lunch. They had arranged a buffet. Hot soup was offered in a plastic cup. Plastic plates were  handed over to all of us.  We managed to push food with plastic spoons and forks. Then we moved to the wash basin to have a quick wash. Lo ! the  tap was a colourful one., made of plastic.

The afternoon session began, again there was a harangue about the demeaning qualities of plastic.

I could not control my laughter this time.


The message of  the convention  was lost. Talking one thing and doing the other.

My countenance changed into  plastic. My thoughts got stuck up like plastic.Plastic is overwhelming, as it is stepping beyond the approval limits.

The environment is the butt of such unmindful transgression.

Make others happy


A day begins with the rising sun.

The dawn brings cheer and liveliness.

As it advances, it proceeds to work, and the dusk brings rest and retirement.

As the sunrise, we have to radiate happiness around us.

We have to start the day with a smile, greet the fellow humans with grace, be it a milk vendor, newspaper boy, the gardener, and your neighbour.

This little gesture adds  life and good sense

While at work, be pleasant to superiors, and  be kind to  sub ordinates.

Show extreme attention to the customers, take care of their problems,and give a positive reply to their enquiries.

Back at home,  converse  cordially with  spouse,  extend affection to  children,and spend time with them ,throwing out work burden, and other pursuits.

These tiny acts and good turns  will bear a refreshing exuberance .

Happiness eludes materialism and emotional possession. To attain it we should extinguish craving and aversion.

Strive to spread happiness.It is an exclusive quality of life.
