Alankar(Decor) -87

A Recipe(Uneven Couplet) -
The uneven couplet is paired lines of different length
rhymed or unrhymed, metered or unmetered.


A Recipe

That you would relish I'm sure
This recipe try it with pleasure

Clean the insight in time sufficient
Wash off anger, enmity and hate

Put the mind on the burning heart
Put in the thoughts all to melt

Ladle in between a large of intellect
Stir in hope a heapful amount

Let all blend with a bliss intent
Until valour and courage result

Throw meantime in the flaming heart
Burnt to ashes filth and lust

Fervid heart now isn't violent
Mind is calm and tranquil incessant

Mix in now gently prayers and spirit
Still more gently the gods to let meditate

Season with peace and harmony pleasant
Garnish with joy and cheer concordant

Serve in the bowl of soul consonant
Enjoy with love consistent

Try and taste this recipe carefully
Tell me 'delicious, delicious' finally

The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise, and tariff taxes were allowed.

The Recipe Of Loser

There is no absolute recipe to become a winner
But there is a certain recipe to be a loser:
Just give up!

What Happiness Is

happiness
is bliss

happiness,
is when you get a new puppy
happiness,
is when you get married
happiness,
is when you go on you first date
happiness,
is making your own decisions
happiness,
is graduating
happiness,
is getting you first job
happiness,
is falling in love
happiness
is being proud of who you are

happiness
is bliss

happiness,
is glowing
happiness,
is fun
happiness,
is an amazing feeling
happiness,
is when you smile all day
happiness,
is giving someone a hug just because you can
happiness,
is that light in your eyes
happiness,
is what makes the world go around

happiness,
is bliss

A touch of happiness

Could I ever have the happiness
of those who cannot walk
having a first step even if small?

Could I ever have the happiness
of those unsighted feeling
shadows for the first time?

Could I have the happiness
of music heard by one who
hear no sound?

Could I have the happiness
of the hungry parent
able to feed a child?

Could I have the happiness
of ones who after hard falls
finds no more holes?

......................................... ...........................


Did we forgot how to appreciate what we have, the small things, have we forgotten our priorities? ..Do we really need to gain a big loss for the chance to touch happiness?
What
IS
Happiness? ?

The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person's belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others.

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed recipe.

The Recipe In Her Kitchen

she had the keys to motherhood
four times she used them for her own...
and the circles she gave a start
now ripple concentric waves
into lives she will never know

she cooked her recipe
with simple love
just the basic ingredients - well spiced with humor
and a code of behavior
covering all situations with the grace
only those who give wisdom it's awesome scope
can define

I loved her
she was me aunt - my mentor
my scale for a constant conscience

those noisy kitchen table talks
sunsets over the ocean we both loved to watch
and all such like things
so easliy shared...

I feel so empty
now that she is gone

but the recipe-
the recipe....is still cooking

Recipe Of Joy

Open your eyes with joy in them
For joys and happiness always hem
Your day with the stitches of hope
And protects you from being in mope

And spend your noon with smiles
For smile shares your trouble's pile
And returns to shine on you
And brings with it fain that is true

And when hours of evening start
Then try to practice your learnt art
And come forward to occupy joy's seat
For happiness works on busy feet

And lastly throughout the night
Dream of things that are bright
For it will finally end on a pray
With the recipe of joy for your day.
