Sonnets -Wake Up, Indian Scientists

'Aim for the Moon, ' - my Indian scientists all;
'And get your space-shuttle ready to land, '
'Discover, Invent, '- is Man's clarion-call,
So, grab the Moon-rocks, if need be, by hand!

“Aim for the Stars and you will land in Mars, '
Our poverty will invent many things;
Ambitions must be tall, don't stop with cars;
Your Indianness could make you real Kings.

Your brain has functioned very well till now;
So, make your extra Betz-cells work with zest,
Achievements are decided from above;
Unite; Be patriotic; Do your best.

Nothing around should make you lose your calm;
Nothing should stop a Man of Science perform.

In The Land Of Make Believe

(burt bacharach / hal david)
In the land of make believe
Youre mine tonight
Although you are far away
In the land of make believe
Im holding you tight
The silver moon is shining above
And theres love in your eyes
And Im kissing you
Like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise
Ive been living in the land of make believe
Since youve been gone
I need you so much
That without your love
I must deceive myself
To go on
Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe

You Make Me Glow

You make me glow.
You make my heart stop,
With meaning.

You put the air under my feet,
When I want to reach up,
To the Moon.

You make me glow.
You've got the Sun in me beaming.
You've got me warmed up with heat.
And ready...
To be razzled dazzled too!

You make me glow.
You make my heart stop with meaning.
You put the air under my feet,
When I want to reach up to the Moon.

You make me glow.
When that reach makes me leap,
Over the Moon.

You make me glow.
When that reach,
Makes me...
Jump right over the Moon.

To Leaders of All Nations

Stop putting innocents behind bars;
Encourage cycling than going by cars;
Don’t make the UNO, a farce;
What if there’s some water in Mars?
Stop spending billions in futile wars;
Stop wasting trillions in reaching the stars!

About To Make The Time

Well you walking on the moon
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got ya thinkin' boy
(You) may be better off to stay than to slide
Lucky boy!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
There's nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And you think you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to breathe deep inside
And you say it's in the wheels
God it's stinkin' boy
Well you know that all you said was a lie
Lucky boy!!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
There's nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
Yes I'm about to make the time
Ohhhhhh
I do it
We're gonna do it
Gotta stop and take it slow
You blew it
They're gonna screw it
Gotta stop and steal the show
You count the ways
You stop it!
And you say you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got you thinkin' boy
Maybe better off to stay than to die
Thinkin' boy
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
There's nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
But I'm about to make the time
Ohhhh!!!

Till The Land

till the land, till the land,
plant the seeds, pray for rain.
feed your cows and your pigs,
always stop to give thanks.

close to the earth, the seasons,
to your family, to your heart....
to your neighbors, to your friends, .
do your best, do your part.

till the land, till the land,
plant the seeds, pray for rain.
feed your cows and your chickens,
always stop to give thanks.

from generation to generation,
the traditions handed down.
take care of the land you work,
keep the wheel going 'round.

till the land, till the land,
plant the seeds, pray for rain.
feed your cows and your horses,
always stop to give thanks.

now the times have changed,
you're not needed anymore.
the bank's come to take away
all the things you've stood for.

till the land, till the land,
plant the seeds, pray for rain.
feed your cattle and your family,
always stop to give thanks.

Man's Curiosity Lands on Mars!

Of all the many galaxies,
The Maker chose just planet earth,
The third from sun in Milky Way,
For man to inhabit and thrive!

But man's curiosity didn't stop
By landing upon moon's surface!
One small step of Neil Armstrong meant
A giant leap for mankind's science!

Mars Rover Curiosity
Has touched down upon mars surface,
A feat of engineering skills -
A culmination of efforts!

But why search planets for new life?
Home earth has secrets much concealed;
Why waste money and time so far?
Cannot you develop life on earth?

Though curiosity of man
Is good for scientific research,
All know that earth is best for man,
And yet, they hunt for newer ground!

Kudos to scientists' great efforts!
Man's brain is doing things grandiose;
If only money's spent on earth,
All mankind can live happily!

Mere mankind's pow'rs can't move mountains!
The Omnipotent need to bless;
Man's achievements then bear witness
To Maker's awesome power and love!

Dedicated to all the scientists world-wide!

Sleeper

Sleep,
I call thee sleep,
Heavy to the call of 40 winks,
Sleep,
I call thee sleep

Fighting temptations to fall
Fall into the land of dream
For the land of dream makes me miss,
miss the things i have never seen

Visions so blurry
but i can make out the stars
and as i fall higher to the land of dream
i notice myself falling away from mars

Knowing this is not real
but i am in so deep
I have finally lost my battle
to the one they call sleep

Give Her The Sun

Give her sun and she’ll be happy,
I’d give her the moon and stars too,
Give her sun and she’ll be happy,
But I’m not tall or strong enough to.

I love your fingertips,
The way you touched me on my face and my lips,
Those dimples you have on your back,
Amaze me because I got dimples like that,
A smile that could make people stop and stare,
A smile at me to let me know that you care,
That you’re happy, that you’re glad,
Don’t ever stop smiling because I might think you’re sad.

Give her sun and she’ll be happy,
I’d give her the moon and stars too,
Give her sun and she’ll be happy,
But I’m not tall or strong enough to.

But all good things come to an end,
You weren’t happy and no longer could you pretend,
Sticks and stones can break my bones,
But those words you said really killed me,
My heart spilled enough blood to flood,
Flood my throat enough to choke,
Enough to soak this lad with nothing for brains.

Circling Around The Moon

There may come a day when you grow weary
Troubled waters stain the paper cup
From other venues other voices carry
Slipped dreams soaking into thirsty dust
Maybe then and there youll find another
Lover with a blank and empty heart
Filled with breath and old cells to discover
Strenght to push the seas apart
Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon
There may come a day when you feel anger
China cracked and glued by clumsy hand
Veins of memory touching only hunger
The heart devours what it cannot understand
Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon
Maybe it whas then I saw my future
Saw it as a shadow on the ground
Beneath the earth old nails to discover
Strenght to hold my body down
Chorus:
On the day we met
I began to want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon
On the day we met
I began to want you, want you
On the day we met
I began to lose you too
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon
Both of us circling around the moon

Words and music by freddie mercury
Tonight Im gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So dont stop me now dont stop me

Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
Im a racing car passing by like lady godiva

Thats why they call me mister fahrenheit
Im travling at the speed of light

If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Dont stop me now (cause Im havin a good time)
Dont stop me now (yes Im havin a good time)
I dont want to stop at all
Im a rocket ship on my way to mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite Im out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
Im burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
Thats why they call me mister fahrenheit
Im travling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Key Board Love Affair

Our river flowed so sweetly it seemed;
small waves and wonderful eddies,
ripples that ran to the edge of forever,
then a soft careen toward infinity.
Then, more pointed they were
elbowing comments made
hurtful words once said
could not be unsaid.
And at the rapids,
cross purpose
maneuverings
and, finally
full stop.

Stars in the night

Stars in the night,
Shining so bright,
Accompanying a moon,
Which always seems so alone,

Why can't we be like that,
And cut the cobwebs that,
Weakens the human bond,
Makes us feel alone is strong,

Arrogance and ego,
Negligence or so,
Are the cobwebs around,
Pathetic as they sound,

But this true,
For all of us,
We follow them all,
No matter dawn or dusk,

We join the stars,
With imaginary lines,
But can’t join our hearts,
With emotional signs,

A shooting star naturally leaves the sky,
Saying goodbye to all,
And fulfilling our wishes nice,

But we forcefully kick out our stars,
Our Mom and Dad,
Out of the house,
‘Coz spending few bucks on them,
Seems too bad,

We even make our friends,
Using our brain and not heart,
Don’t even mind breaking relationships,
For our good sake and part,

We see the sun,
Giving moon it’s light,
So that we see in the dark,
And moon looks beautiful and bright,

But this way,
We’ll never be,
‘Coz we kick a man downstairs,
So that “he’ll never be as high as me”,

We also grab somebody’s light,
So that we can shine more bright,
And give others darkness of failure,
‘Coz, for us,
Hard work was never an option better,

We see the moon in the dark night,
But never see the reasons behind its beauty and light,
The stars make it look flawlessly white,
‘Coz even it has holes,
If you have a close sight,

So promise yourself to be like these stars,
The sun,
Always helping others to stand,
And even making your own position,
Behave like human,
And not machines,
Make connections with heart and not brain,
And understand each other’s feelings….

Sandstorm

I've got a sandstorm blowin' in my head,
I'm seein' many colours but the only one
That's coming through is red,
And it's stoppin' me dead tryin' to make some tracks
But my feet are feeling like lead,
Stop being blead, stop being blead
Oh my things aren't the same,
Anyone could see that if I stayed much longer,
I'd be tamed
We stopped playing games
I'm not pointing fingers but I'm not gonna take the blame
Playin' all your games, taking all your blames
I said oh no, I don't even care,
I guess I'll be seein' you,
I guess I'll be leaving you today,
We're just not a pair,
I know you've been trying but I just can't bear to tell a lie'
Stop tellin' me all your lies
Stop tellin' me all your lies
Let me take you by the hand,
Try to understand, walk me to a land,
Try to understand,
But I ain't nothing but a man
I've got a sandstorm blowin' in my head,
I'm seein' many colours but the only one
That's coming through Is red,
You know how we feel, we can't go on pretending,
And we've just got to fix the deal,
Gotta make it real
Gotta make it real

Sixtieth Independence Day Celebrations of India (a)

We plan to put a man on moon!
And this could happen pretty soon:
If Indians will stay united,
Our dreams can lift off, ignited!

We have the skills and brains as well;
Let’s persevere always like hell;
Our country vast has problems much;
Our leaders can give ‘magic-touch’!

More Indian brains are being drained;
Our ties with neighbors are quite strained;
Let’s weed the terror-menace out;
Our motherland is great, sans doubt!

With more women at India’s helm,
So nigh is economic boom;
Let’s hit accord in nuclear club,
Avoiding global friction, rub.

If selection is through merit,
The nation will sure, benefit;
Let Indians work with diligence,
From Sixtieth Independence.

Let’s build more shelters for homeless;
Let’s treat the sick with love, kindness;
Let’s guard our children and women;
Let’s turn our motherland, Heaven!

Let’s wipe out poverty ’mongst us;
Let’s clothe our people with good dress;
Let’s feed the hungry millions well,
By concerted efforts, that tell.

Let ryots farm the Indian way;
Let scientists give the final say;
Let’s share with poor all excess lands;
The future lies in our own hands.

Let’s tend sick elderly persons;
Let’s not give excuses, reasons;
Let’s hoist the Tricolor atop
All Indian homes and every shop!

When Bhudia Singh had run long- miles!
And Sania beat top tennis-seeds;
When Shashi fought for UN seat,
And Manmohan clinched nuclear deal…

When Ash turned beauty queen of world,
And Kalam was fine President;
When Chawla flew in Space Shuttle,
And AIDS and Bird-Flu couldn’t us scare…

When Indian rivers can be linked,
And ‘Sethu Samudhram’ work’s on;
When Indians vie for Booker prize,
And cell-phones unite Indians fast…

When Bollywood’s like Hollywood,
And Indians get records galore;
We can all rise higher, surely,
If we can do things, sincerely…

When Indians can buy shares abroad,
Skilled Indians do set new records;
No matter where you are, Indians,
Be loyal to your Motherland.

We’ll aim to make the world better;
No more, we shall be in fetter;
The blood of freedom-fighters all,
Still goads us on, with clarion call.

Our people have much laurels won;
Our scientists are second to none;
Our country is the best, I see;
With beauty, peace, integrity!

The future is so promising,
If Indians be enterprising;
We’d done quite well so far, but then,
We ought to be more Indian!

Let’s sing our nation’s anthem loud;
Let’s feel as Indians, truly proud;
Let’s labor hard, fervently pray,
On Sixtieth Independence Day!

Dont Stop The Music

On the street, in the park on the floor anywhere you are
Something fresh, something wild, take it up like a shooting star
Cause I never found anyone like you
And you are the beat in my heart
Come on take my higher
Dont stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Dont fight the feeling
Now that were falling in love
Take a trip to the stars, make a wish, rocket to the moon,
There you are between venus and mars, now youre in the groove
Cause I see the passion thats in your eyes
And you lift me up to the sky
Come on take me higher
Dont stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Dont fight the feeling
When the feelings good, when the feelings right
Dont stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Dont fight the feeling
Now that were falling in love
Dont stop the music baby
Let the rhythm drive you crazy
Dont fight the feeling baby
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Dont stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Dont fight the feeling
When the feelings good, when the feelings right
Dont stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Dont fight the feeling
When the feeling is good, when the feeling is strong

Gain Using Brain

Think carefully thrice
Throw decisions' dice
On the fine brain-floor
Success will knock at your door

You must be brave
Do not think about the grave
Surely from worry-fever
You will soon recover

The World you must leave
But before leaving, you must leave
Principles for ambitious youth
Living in East, West, North and south

Make cowardice face death
For this stop fear's breath
Valuable thoughts you must contribute
Forever then the World will pay tribute

If thought -fertilizers are scant
How can grow brain-plant?
Let brain make the right move
Then only obstacles you can remove

Wonderful plans brain can easily invent
Any hardship it can surely circumvent
A sharp brain is hard-work's gift
For coming up in life, it is the lift

Man has developed great cultures
Remain the same all other creatures
The obvious reason is brain
Thinking is to the brain grain

Life-river when you cross
Hindrances will come across
So skilfully construct the brain-bridge
Keep guiding thought-boards in the edge

If brain remains dull and negative
How can actions become superlative?
Brain is the basic root
That gives sweet success-fruit

If life-land is arid
Sweat can help get rid
Of aridity which is a success -killer
Provided brain becomes an expert-tiller.
