Don’t be a waste
It is a must that you must get
Wealth, skill or knowledge adequate,
To deliver to mass around
Else, you are left as a waste

Kill or Skill?
Spain had a skill.
South Korea had the kill
They played, clashed
In the Korean Soil,
In front of forty thousands
Spectators, in the Quarter
Final of 2002 World Cup
Foot Ball tournament.
Korea beat Spain
By penalty kick.
Kill is stronger than skill

Deliver Me
deliver me...
from the fury, the noise,
and the roar of the wheel...
deliver me...
from my own insecurities,
my unconscious greed,
and my self driven fears.
deliver me...
from my conceptual understanding,
my limited knowledge,
and my worship of knowledge.
deliver me...
from all anger and hatred
in whatever disguise...
deliver me...
from being driven by
mouth and stomach unchecked,
from what i think i need.
deliver me..
from my countless mistakes,
and the excuses i make!
deliver me...
from any kind of pride
that closes the open hand!
deliver me...
from any sense of self
that would seperate and divide.
deliver me...
from laziness and tiredness,
from bitterness and lonliness.
deliver me...
from all forms of apathy,
and the want to possess...
deliver me...
and bring me to realize myself!

Safety is peace
Acquire skill. Acquire knowledge.
You are not robbed.
Acquire wealth. Acquire power.
You are robbed.
Peace comes where safety rules.

Being away is the sweet.
All my beloved remain
As my sweet dreams
As I know them less
And with them I remained less.
The more the knowledge is
The less the liking is

Wealth is not the tool of love.
With wealth,
You can buy a dog,
With it, can you, its tail?
Showing wealth,
Woo not a woman.
It makes her poor.
Mind,
If you adjust to a set
You cannot adjust it.
If you move to bend to one
You cannot bend the one.
See,
You find a way
Or you make a way,
Otherwise, sooner
You are out of way.
Recall,
Only for two things
Do you worry:
To get is the one.
To get rid of, the other.

You are gone after you.
However great he or she was
Today they are forgotten.
Tomorrow, you too will be.
Don’t waste time and energy
To make an impression
At the cost of your convenience

Want-less is richness
Richness is in fewness of wants.
Richness is in paucity of wants.
Massiveness of wealth is not the scale.
Richer is a hermit than a king.

Earn more women to brood on
You can reminisce on your past,
The wealth earned, the issues begotten,
The power wielded, the battles won,
The skills employed, the good done.
None is at par with the reminiscence
Of women whose hearts you had won.

Education, whatever else it should or should not be, must be an inoculation against the poisons of life and an adequate equipment in knowledge and skill for meeting the chances of life.

Don’t live for the posterity.
William Shakespeare did not think
That his works would be handed
Over to generations, world over,
The English becoming
The world language.
He is not there to know it.
Then what is the use for him?
If you are not known
When you are alive knowing
There is no use of being known.
Don’t waste yourself for the posterity.

Welcome the changes
I lived in many places.
Each I entered with an aversion
And each I left with a commotion
Joy could be brought as many times.

Involvement makes you happy
Absence of unhappiness is the peace
Peace itself is not the happiness.
To involve is the happiness;
To withdraw is the peace.
Love, marry, deliver, toil, rear and serve.
You will have found your happiness.

The society- incorrigible
Truth: the most respected,
But the least cared for
.
Wealth: the least appreciated,
But the most sought after
.
Brothel: the most condemned
But the vast practiced.
Adultery: the most sinful
But the most eventful.
Do you have any cord
Between your deed and word?
Ego builds up the society;
Instincts disrupt it.

No light means no shadow
It is true
That I lost many fortunes,
That I missed many chances
And that I left many ambitions.
It must be true
That I was saved of many misfortunes,
That I was spared of many pitfalls
And that I was left of many traps
That would have interfered with them
Had I succeeded to get them.

Love is everlasting.
Wonder, venture, adventure,
Sports, play, games,
Comedy, humor, satire,
Detective, Violence and on,
I had left one by one
In reading materials,
In all my span of life.
But, I had not left
Love, romance and sex,
Which are immortal to the mortal.

Don’t waste time and energy.
When a thing is hard to get,
You set out to get it.
When such things go aplenty,
At your door steps,
To it, you turn your back
And, then turn repulsive.
Woman of glamour and
Woman of beauty do this,
Fed up with swarming men.
Don’t waste your time and energy.

Nun and monk
A nun is born to blush unseen
And waste her sweetness in the desert.
A monk is born to beam unseen
And lose his shower in the ocean.
Both are ill born to wither unseen
And miss the other half in the wilderness.
Who is the cause, the God or His sons?

Love demands corporal presence
Is not it a fallacy,
If an uprooted stake thought
That the orphaned vine
In its place would never seek
Any stake nearby?
Your beloved ceases to be so
Once you have left the venue.

Holy dip in love pool
To feel that I might be admired
Put me in moisture.
To feel that it is from you, a woman,
Left me fully wet.
When I confirmed it from hearsay,
It bathed you long.
When you yourself showed it
It immersed me total.
‘I can’t forget you. You’re more than
Any.’ Beena told me over phone
After our sojourn was over.
It sank me in the love pool
I was never awake from.
