Shimmering Water

On the banks of River Rhine
Under the morning sun
And the blue sky shining
The gentle breeze rustled

Along the silvery water
Wooden boats sailed slowly
Accompanied by choir of bee
Which sounds melodious and sweet

The beautiful little flowers grow
Whiter than fur than snow
Full of smiles, looking at
Gold fishes that are playing

The wonderful rotating cloud
Which is the natural grace
Singing love songs in Spring
To the leaves are greenish

Lost Forest's Ancient Chant

(dedicated to Mr.Esa-Pekka Salonen, a gifted conductor)

frozen zephyrs blow softly
grey leaves sway tenderly
dark flowers whisper suavely

frozen rains pour continuously
grey cypresses shake gently
dark thorns grasp suddenly
anguished howls sing sadly

lost spirits
scream helplessly
lost feelings
scratch lonely memory

lost desires
mock at saviors
lost souls

A Tale of Bhimbetka

Bhim-bait-ka
Bheem sat on these rocks
the name is derived from
Sanskrit epic Mahabharata

largest collection of prehistoric art
discovered and explored
by Dr.V.S.Wakankar
a great archaeologist

from train he noticed caves
dotting the hills in distance
he cut through deep forest
climbed up to the caves

surrounded by northern fringe
of the Vindhyan ranges
lies 46 km south of Bhopal
in State of Madhya Pradesh
