Streamline your life
Abandon your ego and be useful.
You aren’t then unwanted.
Read or write or enjoy music.
Your mind is then not in turmoil.
Do Hatha Yoga throughout,
You’ll have a feeling of well being.
Then you are not a recluse.

Hatha Yoga
No kind of physical exercise
is superior to Hatha Yoga.
It gives you suppleness and sturdiness
It cleanses systems and stimulates glands
It preserves will-power and reserves energy.
It conserves stamina and retains youthfulness
It expands aura and adds to personality.
Then women can like you at any age.
What more?

Remedies to health
Tired?
Katha Yoga sooths aching muscles.
Wired?
Dhyan rests the warring mind.
Uninspired?
Spontaneous movements in
Dance or play tones the sagging thought.
Mired?
Involvement in arts, music or writing
Unlashes the crippled bodily Instincts.

We are tamed impotent.
Without passion you cannot write about love.
Without lust you cannot write about sex.
All cannot write about love and sex.
All cannot enjoy reading about love and sex.
A half of us are ethic-abiding impotent.

Neglect not meditation
Do exercise; Branches are strong.
Do hatha yoga; Trunk is strong.
Do breathing; Root is strong.
Branch-less, trunk-less,
By root alone too can live a tree.

Yoga In Gita
Gita provides three ways to bliss.
Devotion to God is Bhakti Yoga.
Dedication to work is Karma Yoga.
Meditation on Supreme is Jnana Yoga.
Bhakti Yoga is for sedentary ones.
Karma Yoga is for energetic ones.
Jnana Yoga is for intellectuals.
Bhakti Yoga is for adults.
Karma Yoga is for youths.
Jnana Yoga is for the old.
Mind, you must perform
Karma Yoga, which gives bread,
Besides Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga

Yoga Is As Yoga Does
(words & music by nelson - burch)
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does theres no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or youve blown the scene
I can see lookin at you, you just cant get settled
How can I even move, twistin like a pretzel
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yogas sure to catch you if you come falling down
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)
(yoga is, yoga does)
(theres no in-between)
(your either with it all the way) or youve blown the scene
(or youve blown the scene)

Read and read to learn
To use a word sensibly,
You should come across it
At least a dozen times.
To come across such times,
Hundreds of pages
You have to read.
Vocabulary is learnt
By its usage and
Not by knowing meanings.
Read more and more
With mind set on words.

Lost In The Music
the music you write
makes my mind soar
the music you write
makes me want to dance
the music you write
is like a lullaby
the music you write
makes my heart jump
the music you write
makes me want to hear it again
the music you write
is like a shooting star
the music you write
makes me fall in love with you
the music you write
is like a shower in a drought
the music you write
is like a dream that i don't want to wake up from
i get lost in the music you write

Let Music Embrace
Music is for any emotion
Music can read your mind
Sadness or sorrow
In music you can find
Whatever you are feeling
Let music embrace;
Let the pain run right through you
Let the tears run down your face
Music is your friend
It understands you the best
So when you’re feeling down
Put it to the test
With music there is
No right or wrong,
The lyrics are a story
The music is the song

Poem is good with punch words
You can write poems in two ways.
You can write with stress on rhymes.
You can assert, choosing punch words.
The one pleases and the other hits.

Active time nourishes
You can read books, hear music or watch movies.
In such moments you enjoy passive time.
You can write, draw, sing or play music.
In such moments you enjoy active time..

Jealousy is cruel.
The hero and heroine indulge in love.
We enjoy watching it.
When it is enacted in the neighborhood
We resent and betray it.

Leper
More than an orphan, as abandoned by his family,
Lower than a beggar, as unwanted at anybody’s doorstep,
Poorer than a pauper, as estranged by the society,
Weaker than a handicap, as found repelling the donors,
And lowlier than the once untouchable, as his presence irritaing,
Lives a leper, beaten with the devastating malady.
Coupled with old age, who else can be that much pitiable?

What Music Means To Me
Ive Read Poems On Music Here There And Everywhere
All Of Them Make Me Stop To Stare
Non Of Them Explain How Much Music Means To Me
Why Is It So Hard For Everyone To See?
Music Is My Life, Music Is My Soul
If Anything It Is My One And Only Goal
For Someone To Be Able To See What I Feel
That One And Only Feeling No-one Can Steal
The Feeling As Free As A Flying Dove
The One Special Feeling, The Feeling Of Love
Blindly busy.
You see but look not.
You hear but listen not.
You smell but sense not.
You taste but relish not.
You touch but feel not.
All in hurry-scurry,
You are blindly busy.
Be lazy to enjoy

Old is gold
At dawn do yogasana, midday, have a nap
and at night, enjoy the privacy and in
the rest of time, do what enthuses you,
eat less, drink more, speak truth and
shed fear. Kill the ego. Old is gold.

A strong conviction n
No matter what others infer,
No matter what others gossip,
No matter what others confer,
Or for that even if they stall,
I believe in what I do,
I cannot but love you as true,
I shall not be what I am not
And I assure my love is pure.
You can match me with love
Or can stretch me in blue.
I shall enrich you with love.
My love for you is a recluse.
I love you in an enclave,
A secret only to your know-how.
Let me know that you know
It, which is all that matters now.
No matter how others follow
Or it takes me to gallows
I cannot deny what I am,
I can’t be what I am not.
You may accept me or reject.
I am prepared for a fallout.
I know my love is forever,
Which others can not sever.

Produce rather than consume.
Listen to music.
Watch movies.
Read a classic.
See arts.
Your senses are fed.
Sing a song.
Pen a lyric.
Write a novel.
Craft an art.
Your ego too is fed.
The latter gives
Deeper gratification.

To write is the ego impulse.
Over years, over the centuries,
people are on the run
to write enough materials
not that there was a dearth of books
or by that they could amass.
To be known envied, awed,
and memorialized, they do so.
They pride themselves on writing.

Twenty Zero One
2001 - where do I belong
I got my mind but I dont know where my head has gone
2001 - baby where you been
Its pornographic, internet, traffic on my screen
2001 - shes just a maniac
Its not for me but my baby really needs a crack
2001 - dont want the sex to stop
I took a pill now its killing me to keep it up
2001 - I know whats goin on
You wanna take my soul and change it for another one
2001 - those liquid crystal eyes, they really suit you honey
Let me get them in your size
2001 - by 2032 you can be me, and with a little luck
I can be you
2001 - let me bless you son
Help you believe with my semi-automatic gun
