Know your skill first,
To know that you know
And to know that you do not know
Make you learn.
Not to know that you know
And not to know that you do not know
Make you unlearn.
Often, examine yourself.

Allot a day for unlearning
Allot a day for unlearning
We have been learning
From the day we were born
We have become wise
And some of us learned
With all the information
We have been assimilating
With the help of our sense organs
We learn and make use of the
Knowledge for progressing
And some of us
Proved a point and some
Left behind their impacts on us
This learning, we all know,
Is for our advancement in life
And for ensuring a
Happy and harmonious living
With the people around
And for synchronized existence
With the environment we are in
At the same time
We might have noticed
That there used to be some learning,
Information, interpretation
And our action based on the above
Are not matching well with the aim
Of happy and harmonious existence
But leaving us in the mud of
Emotional disturbance
Such a knowledge and
Practice thereupon
Needs to be unlearned
So that we create and stay happily
In a nicely tuned environ
It would be vital
That we mark a day
Only to unlearn these
And go ahead with
Living in a better manner
In South India there is a tradition
Of marking a day each year
When we do not attempt to
Learn anything new
This falls on the ninth day
From the new moon day
in the sixth month of traditional calendar
15th Sep to 16 Oct for ready understanding
My understanding is that
Probably, this day was earmarked
To unlearn and get rid of
Such knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP)
Which have potential
For jeopardizing
Our progress
And well meant growth
So it will be wise
To examine your knowledge base
Attitude package and
Activity chart
And allot a day,
If possible, at a better frequency than yearly once
To unlearn them

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

The relation
It is your brothers and sisters
Next to it, the cousins,
Who make you bitter
By their progress or
Happier by their failures.
You want them to compare.
That is why the relation exists.

Sturdy hip, a binding grip
I marvel at your foot prints
That you make in wet soil
When you walk across, the heel
Being more hollow by the heaviness
Of your hip and the flatness of the belly.

Music is happiness
Music tans your rawness
And awakens your awareness.
Learn it or listen to it
Lack of it takes half of your happiness.

Rhythm is music
Bhyav, swar, ragh and tal,
When in tune,
Make any vocal be in rhythm.
Tone adds colour.
Beats support base.
Steps produce dance.
Your eardrum enjoys the harmony.

Dance, more than an exercise
Girl, you must learn dance
And practice it,
To feel high in spirit,
To attain grace in moves,
To shed stress, fat and cholesterol,
To trim muscles and bones,
To learn balance,
To grow in agility
And to gain pain reducing effect.
You stay longer young;
You feel youthful;
You are evergreen.
Otherwise, who will long?

Examination
Abolish examination.
And who are you to take examination?
Do you know whom to examine
And how to examine?
If you are so keen to take examination
Examine yourself first.
It is not easy to examine self
And pass the examination
scoring top.
Examine self while alone
Alone at night
Alone at bed.
Dare not examine others and
Dare not examine especially children.

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.

Ears are sensuous.
Ears are as much a part
In sexual stimuli
Of a woman’s facial beauty.
Who cares?
Even poets underplay them.
Lobes with no jewels on
Make women look barren.
Observe
Ears play hidden kicks.
Ear ornaments are the first pick
For a woman to be bejeweled.
Give a kiss on her ears’ back.
It is more than one on her lips.

What Do I Want From You?
i do not want you in the past
neither shall i desire to meet you in the future
do not be mistaken
there is nothing too to make you mine
even today
i have made the choice
just myself sitting at night in the park
the post unlighted
the air is cold
i keep the fire burning in my heart
learning to live my way through
this darkness
there is so much to learn
and so many things to accept
there is so much to unlearn
recall and then forever forget.

Don't Make Me
Don't make me angry,
Don't make me sad.
You'll regret,
Doing it.
Don't make me bad,
Don't make me afraid,
You'll regret,
Doing it.
Don't make me nice,
Don't make me good,
You'llk regret,
Doing it.
Don't make me happy,
Don't make me laugh,
You'll regret,
Doing it.
Don't make me learn,
Don't make me run.
You'll regret,
Doing it.
Don't make me mad,
Don't make me aggrevated,
Or I'll,
Kill you...

Commenting your weakness.
Those who praise you in front
And those who criticize behind
Do so from their cowardliness.
The strong one does neither of them..

Weigh you before you strike.
With right and might,
You can fight
With right and no might,
You can weep.
With no right nor might,
You had better sleep.
You’ll have landed safe.

The result of love failure
With all freshness after bath
When you go at night to bed
With a man whom you have wed
You are not to know how bad

He showed them the way to Rome
They learnt it and went to tell others,
Who in turn said to others, thus the process
Went on, with no one having really gone.

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
