Yourself you shape
Yourself the stone
Yourself the sculptor
Yourself the chisel
Yourself you shape

If you are in an enthusiastic sway
Even an insect will eat you away
If unenthusiastic you choose to stay
Even a volcano will bow before you paving way
If you are in an enthusiastic sway

Buried in The Past
Being
Buried in the past
And
Being devoured
By the sand grains of time
Is
Preferable to
Being
On the surface of the present
Breathelessly suffocating and
Painfully suffering
With the
Realities of today

Indian dawn - Anna Hazare
00.00 hours 15th August 1947
Indian Independence
Was born
But that night dawned
Only on 16th August 2011
After six four years
When *Ralegan Siddhi's sun
Rose over the
Mountenous heaps of
Corruption
Created by the
Indian elected representatives
*Anna Hazare's birth place in Maharashtra

Dawn of the New Year 2009
Dear all
Let the dawn of
New Year 2009
Shower on you
A better revealing light
Comprising
More and beyond the
Traditional seven colours
And let it provide you
An awakening and
Enlightenment into
A wider knowledge base,
A positively oriented attitude and
A set of new productive skills
Helping you
Perform excellently,
Effortlessly and
Enthusiastically for
Common good

Become divine
Each tree a Poetry
In its infinite variety
Each leaf a status
In its food-making process
Each flower a wonder
In its colour, fragrance and splendour
Each fruit a history
In its sweet-storing mystery
Each grass is precious
As in soil-holding it is cautious
Each cactus a marvel
In its tact in survival
Each orchid a sample
As its blossom ever an example
Each garden a universe
As it holds all these, in diverse

Heart fully yell 'There is a hero in me
I heart fully yell
There is a hero in me
Based on my prowess
Skill and experience
I took up this challenge
But, the challenge ahead is
Breathtaking
Demands all the potentials of my strengths
I hold on before it for a while
Assess the challenge-meeting requirements
Try to accomplish
Fail once, twice
And a number of times
Now I know my weaknesses too
I garner all the strengths in me
I harness all my acquired multifaceted skills

Accept The Fact That You Are Only A Frog In A Well
However much learned we are,
However big our possessions are,
However large the kingdom we rule,
However wide our popularity is,
However deep our knowledge is,
However widespread our domain is,
We need to accept that
We are no better than a frog
In a well
Some are in a big well
Some are in a small well
A well, regardless of its size
Will never become an ocean
Ocean is the ultimate truth
Well is the ground reality

The fire of desire
Keep alive
In you
The fire of desire
As it only
Brought you to this
Wonder world
And so many
Other great things
Let it be
Any break-through
In science, art or literature
There was a fire of desire
That caused
The event to occur
Keep alive
In you
The fire of desire
But be on guard
To have good control

Take a Pain and make a Gain
Only if there is a pain
There is a gain
And if there is a gain
There was a pain
Nothing like
Painless gain or
Gainless pain
If there comes a gain
With no perceived pain
Wait, do not worry
Pain is on the way
And if there is pain
With no apparent gain
Wait, do not worry
Gain is on the way
And if you are preparing
