Man of SteelWeekends with my grandpa were always full of fun,Started with tables and hide and seek in the sun!He wasn’t a preacher or a bag of advice,He was silent, strong and wise.

Weekends with my grandpa were always full of fun,Started with tables and a walk to the bakery for some hot bun!He lived in his own world of honesty and passion,But we still shared a silent bond of friendship and compassion.

Weekends with my grandpa were always full of fun,Started with tables and card games that my grandma always won!The only lesson that he made me rehearse,Was that no individual is bigger than the universe.

Weekends with my grandpa were always full of fun,Started with tables and merriment till the day was done!His strength and determination overawed me,Even in his toughest times, he continued silently.

I will always miss the weekends with my grandpa,Oh what fun, what fun, what fun!

Guru Ravidas’s Birthday

Swami Dayanand Saraswati Jayanthi

A New World

As I trudge these dreary ways,Monotonous, bleary - each day

a heavy burdenThese cement monsters, these screeching,

honking beastsA mind desperate - trapped within,

Searching for a new world...Well, that was yesterday.

There’s swept a magic wandBrushed my life in rainbow washes,the sky is now a canvas stretched,

scudding clouds in zinc white etchedThe city is a palette new

I walk in and out of colour pencils of every hueThe trees, the bridges, the concrete forests tooSwatches of crimson, ochre, viridian and blue

I have found a wondrous new world within meWhere my mind flies across new skies-carefree!

The Early Bird

A bright sky where the Sun and Moon glowDeep within the forests where the streams flow

Blooming flowers and swimming fishAll say a thing to know

Life is a challenge day and nightAnd to survive, we fight

Almighty with us, we lose some and win someAnd they all teach the same

Night, however dark, leads to dayThe early bird has it’s “pray”

Longing…

Busy through the day and nightWe forget to look within our hearts

We have been given the way and lightWe forget to follow our paths

We compete, beat and get beatenLife teaches lessons, and we have to soften

Whatever you may achieve, stay humble ‘Coz, whoever you are, we yearn for the same

It may look simple and lameBut all we want in future, is

Peace of mind, and A quite life amidst the nature

— Dr Chethan B

Open minds

When the mind is closed

The inside has no light

Lurking in the gloomy rooms

Are fears and worries unbright

Open mind can see the beauty

Colours, music and nature mighty

The veil to the world of art is thin

The music flows from within

WaterI am water

Always treated badly,Thrown around, wasted and abused

My value never realizedBut when you are in trouble,

Nothing can replace meI become very important then

Be warned I won’t be there foreverStart treating me well

Remember...You are because I am!

Paper Boats

Childhood days, where have they gone!Play with winds and fly the kites

Play with rains and hot potato bitesPlay with mud and smell of Earth

Play with bud and plants all worth Childhood days, where have they gone!

Rains would bring down tiny streamsPaper boats everywhere, the floating dreams

Wet with water, but never would sinkHas a lesson for all to think

Weight or light, wet or dry, we all shall sailStrength over weakness shall prevail

Childhood days, where have they gone...They are with us, till the child is in us

A Game of Bridge

Ages have crossedFrom child to old

Yet not seen enough of the world it seemsBetween these aged wrinkles

Shines the miseries of growing ageWe still hope and long to see the life afresh once again

We may be old from head to toeYet dreams are young and new

We hold on to the lost lifeWorries are few

May god give us yet long stretched lifeSo we could see the world

No maps no barriers could divideWe are linked with love and pride.
