Namaste And Salaam


hamsa-damayanthiIt is namaste that greets me
wherever I go around the world
seeing me in saree that looks different
in my own country where saree being the national dress
as women move about in pants and T-shirts
and my bindi which is another incongruity
largely round in my forehead shining red
which too has become obsolete in my country
where women go with no marks on the forehead
or the bare minimum being a tiny dot
that is not visible from a distance long
but could be noted in close quarters
with a salaam I an shown a place not at the back
but given to take a prominent position
right in the front among the very important
granting me great respect and warmth
which others in modern attire do not get
Proud to be in my own attire with the saree
draped around with pleets and folds
a perfect dress in which I feel at home
whilst the other modern attires seem something out-of-place
very much alien to me while I wonder
how people move about in such forms
that get tight and strain the muscle
forsaking the comforts of the loose
almost an enviable six yard cloth
that needs no stitching and requires no fittings.
Like my sari namaste is also so loving to me
keeping me at home at any part of the world
as I tend to wander all over the world
while a salaam chooses a precious
salutations that make me know that I am being
acknowledged by my Muslim brothers as well
Namaste ans salaam are an integral part of my life.

Oust The Opponent.


Thinking in line to outbeat
very concentrated on the overthrow
went he ahead in a measured flow.
Keeping silent for a time
then moving discreetly on time
he entered the spree very specifically
sending messages to the opponent’s friends
pretending to be noncommittal in his trends
then he slowly encroached the much guarded fray
getting across with a smooth dash in a swayAoust
that being the plan he had thought so long
got it finally to a proper form
forcing the exit of the opponent
and paving the path soft for his denouement.

The Present Century Man


The liberties of man are at question.
Th security of man is at stake,
The financials of man are at nadir.
The thoughts of man are at lowest ebb.
The feelings of man are prosaic.
The work of man is not illustrative.
The portrait of man on the whole
looks grim, glum and hapless.
He being tossed up by the circumstances
He being thrown out in the eternity.
Seemingly he looks sad and melancholic
very worn out and exhausted.
A stature of this century
lacks lustre and grace
much different from what he was
some centuries back
when he was ebullient and enthusiastic
when he was an embodiment of creativity.mummy-chasing-man-clipart

Rules And Freedom


The concepts and prescriptions get you tied up.
The themes and traditions restrict your approach.
A free flow with an enlarges sway keeps you on the move.
That which falls under any code lends a boundary.
That which follows the rules suppresses your creativity.
The well-kept garden is a lovely scenario.
The forest in its naturel growth is a fascination.
Therein comes the difference of rules and freedom.
Let the imagination go up and down in its own extension
let it grow sideways too with an elaboration
nothing wrong in doing so as there arises an infinitive
something great would descend from somewhere unassuming
with a fantasy and delight hl2_concept_81keeping us in great stride.

The Old Gives Way


There is a change in attitude
Families steeped in tradition
taking on to conservatism
following the traditions
have now shed their inhibitions
as the new generationconcept01
wish to get away from the age-old customs
try to inculcate new codes
that of participation and equality in everything
not heeding to the elders
not accepting the seniors decision
where there ushers a straight say
and a straighter play and access
taking the rule in the hand
giving importance to individuality
creating a new trend and frontier
where everyone could raise the voice
and where all wish to be heard.
With the acceptance that change
brings in a new way of life
and lively interaction
the old gives way to the new

Making Money


A specialist settled in a faraway land
came from moderate background
with a degree not with distinction
but quite an ordinary pass out
he was neither outstanding in studies
nor excelled in practice
but made lot of money
claiming that he is high valued
and people back home believed that so
without getting into the core.
He made money in millions
bought a house worth millions
and his wife not so bright back home
became a realtor of great means
the family flourished and prospered
Knowing fully well of their skills
many sat gaping at their success
and if any suspect their progress people at home
would conclude that it is jealousy that did so.
A few years after, their prosperity dwindled
then came in stories of their erstwhile dealings
very clandestine and very much deviated from the norms
illustrating Let-s-make-money-like-there-is-a-tomorrow-1817-530x330 very well that the rightful earnings
get ahead and stand the test of times
however much they are subjected to consequences
and improvisation very much troublesome.

Fingers Cross The Economy.


Keeping the fingers crossed
and saying it is
bolt from the blue
the governance is trying
to pass over the woes
unscrupulously to the people
raising taxes direct and indirect
banning imports of gold
restricting certain benefits
borrowing heavily fingers crossedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y3h7w4poKofrom other countries
putting the people to hardship.
The citizens have done no harm
but elected these politicians
as their representatives
who did represent the electorate
in a way most contemptuous
as of going illegal
by means of enhancing their wealth
depositing huge amounts in distant lands
standing before the parliament
as helpless as they could pose
accusing the predecessor for the despair.
Well, do such persons have a conscience?
Could they come out from the depth of their heart
and say that they are clean and blameless.
They talk absolute blasphemy
and act rot leading the country to hell.

Interruptions.


An interruption in the life style
deviating from the recorded track
takes one out of gear
that too when there is exhaustion
it is but a break down
both to the spirit and body
there being a large amount of
exertion and disturbance
not required at the junctureinterruptions
bringing in a loss of temper
and an untold hatred
for what and when not being known
but do creep in unwontedly
making the days miserable
allowing not one to live in peace.

An Exaltation.


The musical melody came through
from where I knew not
it did not rush in with force
but came through in a flow
like a breeze blowing soft could I say
or like a the tides rising gentle
could I attribute with plausibility
They entered through with such ease
rendering a great exaltation
Leaving everything as it is
sat near the window specifically
listening to the musical delight
Well a good time passed in a trance
taking me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4FUQxn4CnY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lqAZlByoLkragas across to the portals
not in a dive but in a drive
an experience beyond comprehension.

The Weekends In A Round.


There comes the week-end
with expectations more
while the other days go in speed
these two days stay on with a length
When the anticipations turn to nothing
there arises a disappointment great
The feel leads to a pull out
setting in a sobriety sans joy.
These days pass on like any other
even harder than week days.
As such every day is the same
when the day breaks there is hope
and when it sets down there goes the hope
yet another day dawns with a revival
settling with a retreat and denial
that is the way the world moves on
round and round with not much weekends significance
