Pettily honest is the big cheat.
First you build up your credibility.
Then what you say or do are accepted.
Treacherous men started as honest men.
Don’t believe them for what they have been.

Up and down
The accepted are rejected
And the rejected are accepted
In due course. Curse not
If you are not now accepted.

Sexes are not equal
Many cups to sip from,
Many beds to sleep on,
It is accepted.
One cup for many and
One bed for many to use,
It is resented.
A woman bears with a man
Who has other women.
It is not vice versa..
Where’s sex equality?

Honestly poor
An honest man and a chaste woman
Are so, as they have weak spine
To brave the onslaught of their people.

Adhere to reality
A cock chases a hen.
Whose fault is it?
I am in pursuit of you.
Whose fault is it?
Accept reality
And admit an honest entry.

Give allowance to the path.
For a teacher, to be honest is easy;
He walks on the stable ground.
Can it be that easy for a trader?
He is on a slippery wicket.
As a leader, he is often a failure.
It is like walking on the rope.
To walk upright rests on paths taken.
A butcher is not the great killer.

It's funny; we never had anything like credibility. Even though we all have some sort of punk-rock background, but so what? I really don't care about that. What's credibility anyway? Who has credibility?

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
I crawl pinning in my bed.

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.

Way to Heaven
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.

Choose companions
Woman, appear with women,
Les fair than you,
Or duller than you.
Then you are in focus.

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..

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

Being cheated is beyond us
Every one wanted to be vigilant
And at the end somehow they’re cheated.
They believe others as per the past
Which others had amended fast.

Scale overturns
I hate one who is a womanizer
But not myself who hunted many.
In him, I find contemptible lust.
In me, it is something chivalrous.

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

Heroines appear beautiful.
Youthfulness is there; so is the figure.
Beautician is there; so is the photographer.
Perverted audience is every where.
Heroines are less than what they seem

Your place is your heaven.
Be in the woods, to be a tree;
Be in the grove, to be a pear.
Be in the field, to be a corn.
Be there where you belong to.

Gossip, outlet for hatred
Gossip, it seems to me,
No one can dispense with,
As it is the safe outlet
To release one’s hatred
For the one spoken about.

Passion fruit
Shy fruits are far sweeter
As they are hard to sight at.
Search for shy women
In whom passion is untapped

Beauty, race bound
A peacock is so beautiful
A peahen is not so.
It is your version.
Ask peacocks about peahens?
Beauty is coloured by the sex
