Ode To Righteousness.


Grand are your ways,

Great are your action,

Glistening in truth,

Glittering in facts,

A significance ahead.

 

Rare  are you to find,

Remote are you to discern,

Revolving round sincerity,

Rotating  around  rationality,

A quality animated.

 

Hard are you to practise,

Honourable are you in stature,

Hustling along  prestige

Hedging along  justice,

A goal  targeted.

 

 

Fine are you in notation,

Friendly are you in connotation.

Flying  at heights,

Flowing in depths,

A spirit recognised.

 

A trait of   force,

An idiom of remark,

A phrase of merit,

An epithet of credit,

Righteousness , I bow to you.

The Begininig Of The End


Begining  takes time.

End comes in no time

Growth requires duration.

Degeneration  sets in quickly.

So ,when the end is drawing near , a winding up is so sudden and so surprising.

This was explicitly felt in Nilgris ,during the heavy rainall that rocked the lovely hilly district Of Tamilnadu, in South india.

The amily of louis , who had gone to sleep in the night , did not wake up, rather there was no remnance of them, the next morning.

The neighbours , who had seen them last evening, could not get a trace of them the next day.

The house was completely buried in the debris. The seven member Louis family also got interred in the soil.

A deadly mourning looms large over the hilly region.

Houses are hanging in mid-air.

Roads are  broken.

Electricity is disrupted.

Land keep  on sliding .

Last week,

Rain was pouring in torrence.

People lay in utter fear and absolute terror.

What is going to happen next?

A deep thinking and a keen look out of the miserable scenario would reveal a disgusting truth.

This debacle is man-made.

It is we ,who have recklessly indulged in building flats, cottages.

The soil in this region does not permit high raised buildings.

But we , out of greed , keep on enhancing the storeys .

The floors ,yield money, filling our coffers.

The land slip would have not occurred  except for this unmindful prologue.

The water would have flown through the channels  freely , if not for irrational constructions.

As usual ,the rich benefit , the mid income group and the lower strata receive the brunt .

It is they who suffer, who get hurt, who lose their lives, who  subdue and diffuse in melancholy.

An Unrelented Horror.


The beautiful hilly country Afghanistan ,is waxing in terrorism.

The Afghan Pathans have lost their relevance.

They have been battered by war and riots .

The infringed retraction has led to a noisy  warfare , which has ravaged the country for more than 30 years.

The Himalayan territory clad in snow is dressed up in blood and poses notoriously  as a terror-struck terrain.

There is absolute  withdrawal of governance.

There is excess corruption.

There is extra poverty.

Thee is no food.

There is no education.

There is no health care.

This nothingness everywhere has driven the people out of their homes.

The fabulous threat to life has  forced a longitudinal exodus to other countries.

We find sorrow, death,  fear , and pale lifelessness  throughout that ranges in high velocity and dwells in strained vibrations .

The sonorous  grunting grudge keeps the habitants in vigil, in gripping terror and in distempered vicissitude.

The discontent, the wrath and the anger have turned into terrorism .

The ruthless, unruly ,unholy strictures have been transformed into derogatory behaviour and transmitted into disruptive ailments .The network of threatenings and warnings have crystallised into an organisation which has been christened as Taliban.

The Taliban’s engage themselves in attacks and in fights ,which has exploited the normal life and rendered a frequency that excites apprehensions .

The constant  fear has equipped the people with detached designations.

Afghanistan needs no war.

 It needs no troops.

It requires funds for rehabilitation.

It wants aid to restore governance.

it insists help to recapture its lost glory.

It wishes to investigate various avenues  in deploying overseas monies in infrastructure and education.

It likes to inculcate an impression of self-sufficiency .

It aspires to reach high standard of education.

A stimulated appeal is submitted to the world panel.

The leaders of the powerul  nations, the world over have to decipher a solution, to save the Himalayan state from devastation.

Will they do?

Appearances Are deceptive.


Again it is a Sunday, I have nothing to do really.

My friend Nalini came home. She is a lovely lady with good cheer, and ever active.

Seeing me ,relaxing in my arm-chair, she chided me being lethargic .

I tried to convince her saying, that  as it is a Sunday, I am taking it easy.

Murmuring to herself, might  be she said in a low tone almost inaudible, that I am always like that.

Well, to keep her in a good humour, I told her about my  thoughts on mosquitoes.

She threw her towels in  disillusionment. “It is mosquitoes . You do not have anything else to think .”

I kept her at bay.

I gave her a long lecture on the appearance of mosquitoes, on the harmful bites, and on the amount of malaise it causes.

The tiny dark insect ,almost 1/8 inches  in size,has created extreme danger to humanity.

The life cycle of mosquito ,is in four stages, eggs, larvae, nymphs and blood sucking adult.

The mosquitoes breed in water-logged areas.

They survive in comfort in the most depleted condition.

The multiply in hundreds.

The male mosquito feeds from plant nectar.

The female adult is the most deadliest  of all insects.

The bite is so stinging , that the most vigorous  one causes a bumps .

The bites mostly lead to serious diseases like malaria and dengue.

The menace is devastating during rainy season.

The fogging by civic authorities will lessen the havoc.

The spraying with pesticides will have a positive effect.

The  application of  chemical repellents also create allergies.

The beat way to eliminate the  rapid breeding is to clear the water-logged muddles and keep the places dry and clean.

Nalini was listening to me in rapt attention. I was happy to note that.

But ,when I called her “Nalini, Nalini”, she did not respond. Then ,after shaking her, she woke up as if  from a reverie,and mumbled” yes, yes,  what do you want?

My heart sank.

Truly appearances are deceptive, as the  little mosquitoes show their might, and as Nalini drowns herself in sleep., with eyes wide open.

Sound Of Rain


Tut , tut

falls the rain,

on the roof top.

  

Thud ,thud ,

falls the rain,

On the garden path.

  

  

Drop, drop,

falls  the rain

from the trees.

  

Drip, drip,

falls the rain,

from the  houses.

  

Lap ,lap

falls the rain

over the  hill

 

Grunt , grunt,

falls the rain ,

over the  sea.

Ugh, ugh,

falls the rain ,

from the sky.

 

Hush, hush,

the rain pours,

keep vigil.

Hedging Wealth


Hedging funds have actually hedged wealth.

Galleon has come to the forefront as  a fraudulent company,

How many similar funds go unscathed?

How many influential persons have escaped attention, because of their  rapport with the governing politicians.?

Such kind of Galleon’s exposition is possible in U.S.

But in India and other developing countries frauds multiply, like mosquitoes breed in damp climate.

The regulatory forum is itself corrupt.

The insider trading is an old trick followed by the so-called tycoons.

They make money, pay the brokers heavily, and revel in high living and posh external manifestations.

It is these top placed business men, who come out with philanthropic deals, funding this , adopting that.

India , is known for nurturing the nourished, caring the most cared, and pampering the existing splendour.

The Indian way of freebies, is spoiling the already spoilt  poor.

The exact process of making them independent financially, physically and in relation to mental stability is absolutely floundered by the  government.

Today they give a colour T.V.

Tomorrow they provide a Gas cylinder for cooking.

Day after they extend health care.

Yesterday they allowed  free electricity.

Provision is distributed. The usage is not scrutinised.

The free bies  reward the needy.

They also shell out handsome kick backs to the intermediaries and politicians.The administration settles in for a brand which sends out high  pay off, in the manner of commission.The brokerage is proportioned according to the scale of position.

As the government is busy scheduling all these resolutions, a far serious regulation is overseen.

The over sightedness in  containing the loopholes drives a big hole in the transactions.

 In and Out the hedge fund managers, with their high-profile, and excess money, bag purchases, trap the bureaucrats.

The out come of such irrational, wicked directions, is a collection of materials in a big shopping bag.

This monetary accrual ,most times  are so overwhelming, that they bulge and tear the container in which they are stored.

The truth unobtrusively pops out.

It is again the people,who  are cheated. They unwittingly relish on  a few thousand free  bies while their co habitants glorify in millions and billions.

Well , that is a way o life.

The world survives in cheat , slander, and stealing

.The hedge fund  back drops are exhibits of great theft.

The Beast in Man.


 

Goodness in you,

If turned away

If pushed below,

Capacitates the beast in you.

 

Kindness in you,

If  tossed away,

If rejected  through,

Enables the beast in you.

 

Love in you,

If deviated away,

If blown blue,

Enforces the beast in you.

 

Mercy in you,

If   diverted away,

If bade adieu,

Evolves the beast in You.

 

The beatitude in you.

If  held in sway,

If  expressed true,

Preserves the angel in you.

Cats And Dogs.


“Raining cats and dogs “is the common saying.

An incessant rain is given this fitting tribute.

Why did rain gets associated with cats and dogs of all animals.?

I wonder. 

Today , being a sunday, and as I have nothing to do, (as if I perform on the week days,) my introspection runs riot.

Yes , why cats ?and why dogs?

Cats are known for their stealthiness

Dogs  are acclaimed for their faithfulness.

Cats cheat .

Dogs keep vigil.

Cats are cunning.

Dogs are  trustworthy.

Cats purr  noiselessly.

Dogs  bark loudly.

Cats scratch.

Dogs bite.

Cats climb.

Dogs run.

These animals with  the pronounced  dissimilarities  are seemingly used to portray incessant down pour.

  

The past four days, I have been watching heavy rains, medium down pour and slight drizzle.The activity is continuous without intervals.

The sky is overworking, as the Sun  shone with great force and power a week back.

Nature is labouring round the clock.

Well. what about the  phrase , raining cats and dogs.

Deliberating the whole afternoon has not yielded any significant interpretation.

My City


Narrow roads  cross,

Small lanes overlap,

Dead ends  collide.

Cars move on,

Carts go on,

Autos jump on,

Buses drive on,

Lorries hold on.

Men walk stately,

Cattle loiter royally,

Vendors sell merrily,

Hawkers cry loudly,

Police overlook  steadily,

Trespassers overwhelm boldly,

Loud speakers blare noisily,

Divine chants emanate  soberly,

Chaos  in  excellent preserve,

Noise in wonderful reserve,

Happiness in fabulous deserve,

Do you like my city?

Infosys Story.


Nandan Nilekani  quit his job and became the Chairperson of Unique Identification Authority Of India on July /9/2009.

It was a surprising decision.

Last week Narayanamurthy sold .13% of his stake for 143 crores.

Yesterday , Sudha Murthy,disposed 2%  of the shares for 430 crores.

In a week, Akshata will  shell out her holdings.

A few days from thereafter Rohan will dispose his equity.

Off, the Muthy’s will set afloat in a Catamaran., as they make hay when  the sun shines
