just a thought...



Twelve gleefully unemployed gentlemen,

held out a mega rally.
On a lazy Sunday pre-noon,
they strengthened the cause of the toiler masses.

Under the fading red banner of,
Jila Parishad Communist Cell.
They made the government re-think its policies,
& felt very pleased about it all...

The Meaning of Life




make a little wish today
& blow it in the wind
open a new window somewhere
see some soul sneak in

close your eyes soft
speak a silent prayer
spend a day with friends
draw a dream with care

enjoy the beauty humble
revere a blade of grass
seek the wonder that is world
let these joys in life amass


life, is not lived in years & in months
in anniversaries & in occasions
not even in money & awards
it is in the little moments that life gets its rewards



breathe & seek
say & see
do & dream
give & forgive
go & grow
hide & seek
know & lead
learn & have fun

do a thousand things more...LIVE

Circle of Life


it starts & it moves

it flows & it flies

it shines & it smiles

it laughs & it cries



never ending

never stopping

always aspiring

always inspiring



it is the circle of life

for the kashmir earthquake victims

looking into her eyes
i saw shock & numbness
of seeing a playground turning into graveyard
of a heaven turned into hell

no more schools
no more playmates
no more family
no more childhood

all that is left
is death & devastation


in his bewildered eyes
i saw the questions of a nation
is there any one in the rubble
has anyone survived

no more villages
no more towns
no more jobs
no more future

all that is left
are ruins & cremation


there is a father in that picture
there is a daughter there too
and someone is tearing inside me
asking what I'll do

what will i do my dear friend
and what will you do
