Who Else Other Than Me Know What I Am Thinking
I think mainly based
On my impressions on
The happenings around
Likely and very much likely
None other's impression
Will be similar
Hence, none other thinks
The way I think about an event
My level of understanding or otherwise
My level of value additing or otherwise
My level of experience to an earlier similar event
Are unique to me
And no one can make out
The thoughts processed in me
Based on these
I know some evolved people appreciate

Let in you be there a great self
On this Diwali day
Let crackers play
Let new dresses sway
Let sweets be shared
Let great wishes exchange
At the same time
From this day onwards
Let in you be there an awakening
Let in you be there an enlightenment
Let in you be there a bliss
Let in you be there a fire for progress
Let in you be there a kindness to all
Let in you be there a broader understanding
Let in you be there a feel for cohesive co-existence
Let in you be there a love for nature
Let in you be there a self-actualization
Let in you be there a balanced outlook
Let in you be there a fairness in all your dealings
Let in you be there a clarity for all your doubts
Let in you be there a touch of divine

IDo Not Say I Love You
I do not say I love you
Because I really love you
I do not say I care for you
Because I really care for you
I do not say I understand you
Because I really understood you
I do not say I respect you
Because I really respect you
I do not say I will be with you whenever you need me
Because I am already and always with you
I do not say I need you
Because I really need you
I do not say I will meet you
Because I never leave you
I do not say I miss you
Because I know you are ever with me
I do not say I share your concern
Because I take your concerns as mine
I do not say I will give everything for you
Because I have nothing except you as mine

Why this date each year
The dawn of this date
The eighteenth March
Drowns me in sadness
As on this day in the year nineteen sixty
My mother, in her early thirties
Left us for heavenly abode
Making me and my sister
Suffer all these years
The lack of mother's love
I did not know that day
How much I missed her
But, as I became a parent
And as I started observing
The demonstration of love
By my wife to our children
I realised that
This day marks the heaviest loss
I could suffer
How I wish that every one
Here on earth

Cries of a Politician
She is innocent
People with intentions decent
Know this instant
As she is magnificent
Communal fire
Ignoble desire
Laden rich atmosphere
Created this scene entire
It was all a plot against simplicity
A war against integrity
A mud slinging on sincerity
And a caste biased atrocity
She, a model of aged old tradition
Stayed away from audition
To media exposition
She cannot be of this edition

Grace the world with your glow of happiness
Do not chase happiness
Search within you
There are lot many things
Inside you
Which have reasons
To make you happy
You pursuit or search for happiness outside
Does not take you anywhere
As what seemingly has a stock of happiness
Once you reach or achieve it
You realize that happiness
Lies further ahead somewhere
And you hunt for happiness
Takes a new turn
And this goes on and on
Only to make you understand
That you are back in square one
Devoid of happiness, your original search
Happiness, thus, cannot be anywhere else
But within you

Age considers, youth ventures
Age considers, youth ventures
Age visualizes, youth dreams
Age makes theories, youth experiments
Age loves, youth longs
Age sees people, youth sees places
Age knows belongings, youth discovers them
Age pains to gain, youth gains to others' pain
Age has heart, youth has mind
Age is thoughtful, youth is tactful
Age ponders, youth wonders

Make each day Valentine's Day and create a heaven of earth
We all know
That we are here
On this earth
Because of love
And we are sustaining
Because of love
Generations ahead
Depend on the love
We are going to demonstrate
We have been advancing
Our ways of living
And enhancing our levels of comforts
In the process we lost sight
Of the above fact
And we need a day’s celebration
To keep us reminded
Of the above universal truth
It looks

The me in me
The me in me
The me in me
Feels, sees, hears, touches, speaks
And does all that I do
At the same time
The me in me
Becomes joyful or otherwise
Pleased or otherwise
Enthused or otherwise
Depending on its assessment
Of the event occurred
Or the situation in which I am
The me in me
Is my friend and my enemy too
It consoles me when I feel I am in trouble
And cajoles me when I am hesitant
It cheers me up and jeers me as well
It judges on people, things and happenings

Let my God be not there
The God in me
Was planted by
My parents and caretakers
And I have grown with
Certain believes and faiths
Which have struck
Deep roots in me
It is difficult and
Just impossible for me
To disown these
Faiths and philosophies
And probably in me
There is a potential
For growth of a
Destructive power
Similar to what
The world had been
