Hellhole

Hellhole is their habitat, they are humans,
Yet they yearn only for meal, give them once,
Their path is along the drains, they traverse it,
As a wanderer walks along rivers, we curse it.

Ubiquitous detritus is the ensign of abhorrence,
Enshrine they eagles and vultures in pretence,
Reeking excreta adorn the ambience here,
Stagnant water is the place to bathe and share.

The arrival of monsoon is the greatest time,
For the mosquitoes and flies to snore their rhyme,
Epidemics are spewed with each raindrop,
Which nestle close to and nourish the weedy crop.

Let me bring you closer to death, or abduct you beyond,
You will strive, struggle through this dark bond,
But will never find this place even in dreams of dreams,
Oh! How vaguely I beam that nobody gleams.

No, let me not carry you to mine shallow depths,
You have nothing to discover but dying breaths,
But lend me a hand to emerge me from myself,
As I keep drowning into this swampy shelf.

We all know the ways to drag them out,
But whence shall you leave to flout,
Do it once thence you will get your fruit,
Elsewhere you accost, now where is your brute? 

And there comes a man who gives them a pedal,
To hit and escape from the strangling girdle,
He makes their work his, it he worships,
He scrapes through death in these stifling strips.

Work of life now becomes the work of a day,
He heaps his health and wealth in this array,
As a servant, a dutiful servant of brothers,
A God in everyone he consequently discovers.

Soon follows him the country in an indestructible hope,
That there will be the rise of the downtrodden through rope,
Of sympathy, empathy, help and forbearance,
What shall not be shaken through unity hence?

If everyone out of you is made up of gold,
What this massive hurdle could do, behold,
Come up, be bold, see through the eyes of your kin,
"The negligence of masses is the greatest national sin."

Redemption

Billions of crimes have you committed,

Trillions of people have you hurt,

Realize the power of one new moment,

Which can trigger the next infinite a moment.

With happiness of penance and satisfaction,

Clemency in disguise pouring down,

Now ignite double the people depressed,

With the spark of new energy.

Do everything in this chance,

You do not know the last day,

Let skies announce the commencement,

Of a new power appearing on Earth.

You have nothing to steal now,

For the only theft left is sorrows,

Rob the people off them,

Throw your good deeds in rivers.

Let you sacrifice your life,

In this penance let there be no compromise,

For you have that energy,

To dissipate for your brothers. 

Camouflage Of Pity

An ocean is ever in flames,
But where is the sky to receive?
There is clemency camouflaged,
When will the heart perceive?

All the world talks about desires,
But where is that one moment of content?
Make your sky porous enough,
And see clouds of pity which relent(desires).

HIS ocean yearns to shower its warmth,
Do an act worth a merciful vapor!
But pleasures swelter you in snow lands,
When will there be an act of valor?

I met a man who lost everything,
But continued to serve the victims of penury,
His lips were in a constant motion,
And look he won the grace of God!

Yet he desired nothing more than arms,
To serve his fellows and see them lively,
When do we find a man like that?
With body smeared with blisters highly.

Whatever you desire to be you will be,
Just do deeds fetching greetings,
Know that you could have been worse,
In the midst of ground of ill-feelings.

Why not give happiness to others,
When you can give it without a frown,
And be in cognizance of that warmth,
Which approaches you and pour it down.

The Indian Sports

So, the IPL is under way finally after plenty of wait and you could have probably expected a better start with tough and tight competition. Anyways, still 50 days to go and the event is a promising one with expectations of good matches to come.
But my attention goes to the other sports which stand nowhere in front of cricket's glitz and extravaganza. It was good to see World Series Hockey in a fervid way. But there too it was a bit lackluster due to the absence of best national players busy for Olympics. And the word 'Olympics' brings me to its attention.
There has been little fever for the biggest sporting event to be held in London. Provided the fact that they take place after 4 years, there is great anticipation from most sportsmen, but not the public it seems.The Olympians seem all geared up as they are working very hard to make a mark. And I have no doubt that when time comes to bid luck to them, the entire country will stand up to see the faces of India's representatives.
So can't there be better infrastructure for all those sports which are held in Olympics or even otherwise. Most of our football grounds have poor drainage system and outfield.. Not enough stadiums for hockey players to carry out training provided that Hockey is a National Sport and needs to be given prime importance as a symbol of respect. Remember it was the first sport to lift the heads of Indians in front of the world. Medals in events such as equestrian look far from Indian reach. More pathetic is the case in that of aquatics, athletics(with less participation), fencing, gymnastics, etc. Therefore, India looks much behind other countries even with a population of 16% of the Earth.
Why is it that we are satisfied with the little no. of medals we get in Olympics? Why can't we give equal importance to other sports other than cricket? Though, I feel good that there is atleast some sport in which India is much ahead.
I believe India can get global exposure mainly through sports. Look in the case of South Africa and see how much they have been under the light due to their world sporting events. We can attract more tourists easily with development in sports and certainly with a huge increase in foreign exchange. The job may not be easy but for the love of country we'll have to do it. There is a big need to push other sports forward and look how SPRINGS of talent deluge India.

Essence Of Smile

Some days back in gloom,
I was in the shade of dismay,
Everything perturbed me, frustrated,
Even my heart seemed to betray.

I continued to be stick-in-the-mud,
Dormant as an inactive volcano,
Suddenly a gust of wind struck me,
And my indolence was under the snow.

That gust was a great whim,
It was when I remembered myself laughing,
That laugh which shows teeth,
White or yellow, either deserving grin or slapping.

Well, laugh has got something unusual in it, isn't it,
For once, at least a moment, you forget sorrow,
That's where you have to hold the string,
And climb it, you have only smiles to borrow(from yourself).

Let me tell you which kind of laugh that was,
The smile in which you laugh so hard,
That you try to make sound, but it bursts completely,
Can shake the walls. Yet unheard, when the breath sparred.

That ultrasound can touch the heart,
It is an expression uncontrollable,
And all faces in the room light up,
Regardless of character, and is laudable.

So good is that, even when you tickle,
There is more closure of eyes than annoyance,
And look, you can't help it,
It goes on even when urine drains in effluence!

A baby's smile, aloof from guile,
A boy's laugh, a man's grin,
Your parent's lovely expression,
Or the one when one is pricked with pin.

Sorry but I cannot define this in words,
That feeling is so rejuvenating,
And when you get that anytime,
Do share with everyone, no harm in making.

Keep Smiling! Regardless of any cause. What's the harm in smiling!

                                    

Enslaved..

Sometimes making a decision becomes a fuss...
In fact it becomes a noose which tightens as the time comes closer. When too many people enter the arena, we can't defeat our dilemma. This discourages us of discernment. When our aim is held high, the friends influence us, and we go with them. But then as if parents come and spill milk.. You feel smothered by the expectations and too much buzz. But you don't know that's where a leader is born..
The leader has the ability to take the right decision at the right time. Only he can be a leader who can think of serving people at the cost of himself. Why fear when making decisions for yourself? You know what is right and wrong for you. Meet yourself every night to discover the gem in you and have an interview with an unseen hero.
While people will have their claims in for their desires, it is no wrong to choose for yourself when that choice can help another million people get their life. That's why it is said be SELFLESS.You can hardly make mistakes  if you have the intelligence with selflessness.
Parents, friends will push you away. But your politeness shall pull them. Have the power to convince with sweet words. It can be difficult...
But you have the courage don't you? Or are you flies waiting to fly just before someone stomps on you. Then take the decision which is going to be right for not only you but everyone. Parents can only help us, but they can't be in our place at all times. We are a different entity, and we have the freedom to make our decisions.
Therefore don't be afraid when people intimidate, you follow the right thing.

The Spring

The time has come,
To look up to your goal and stare it,
Whereafter you have to live with it,
Drink with it, sleep with it, dream with it.


You have walked great miles,
The time has come to touch the milestone,
Convert iron to gold with Philosopher's Stone,
Wherein you have to dissolve, and with content drone.


For when an itinerant person finds the spring,
He has no place to go, he can sigh, a new breeze blows,
He can plunge into it, swallow it, it mellows,
True happiness after forlorn days it bestows.


Where the wet trails take you, follow,
For you have the faith, selflessness and gallant,
That when stones pester you will be a rock valiant,
And when you will persist will walk the torrent.


Amidst that spring you'll know only springs,
Even when autumns, winters, and summers trespass,
Even in droughts, even in floods, peace will encompass,
Even after the perpetuation of hurricanes of humongous mass.


For Lord Krishna says those who are selfless,
Those who are imperturbable and those who don't perturb,
Those who work for the destitute, and gloom they curb,
Whose eyes are unto me, will find me, this I promise.
Him nothing can disturb.
