The Sixth journey
The journey of sixth
I thought, it’s a myth
I cried and cried
I bide
I m in forth
Still in the same north
Then a hand came
Who taught, you aren’t same
It was the hand of my teacher
Who was not just a teacher but an educator
It was a journey which removed the prickliness
And brought the flower beds of softness
Thanks mam
For making me calm

“Ode to the fallen soldier”
He was just eighteen when the war broke out
He dared to defend his country without any doubt
He volunteered to go but his family denied
He firmly insisted for the sake of his nation’s pride
He grew up listening fascinating tales of WW2
Footsteps of his grandfather he wanted to pursue
With teary eyes and prayers on her lips
Mother packed his bag as the day dips
As the Russian military convoys inched towards his land
He picked up Kalashnikov to save his motherland
While guarding Kyiv bridge with handful of other men
He wrote a letter to his beloved grabbing a pen
He mentioned that he might not survive this war zone
He may never return to his sweet home
‘War is an inevitable evil…my love’ he quoted
‘Enemy tanks are approaching’ his fellow shouted
Despite being outnumbered he still chose to fight
He fought with exemplary courage that night
Hit by a mortar shell on his chest
The young Soldier was finally laid to rest.

Peace- an eternal quest
Where’s the Peace…. Where’s the Peace?
An echo of unended search crowded in the brain- heart crease.
As an exploited runner; we knocks every unease, untruthful, busy, materialistic piece All opened their doors with a deep void common in all designated as …PEACE
Beautiful human’s mind tangled in a chaos to win the race of touching the ‘COSMOS’ without the will of inner esteem of a living rease
Solving every riddle except `serenity’ whose solution lies in our ‘PRANA’ showering blessings of every positive breath breeze
Along with it, Nature’s chorus also comes up with many best clues to acquire the solace
But because of prison’s lock named `satisfaction’; we won’t be able to reach ‘tranquility’
In a wealthy run, devoid of wellbeing, we search the key for the lock in a delusion room but all in vain
Life satisfaction doesn’t exist in owning big projects, wallets stuffed with rupees, roaming in a Earth’s orbit, trashing mountains for sophisticated highways etc
In true sense, we sidelined ourselves and therefore, won’t be able to appreciate the message addressed as ‘gratification; that’s why ‘Peace doesn’t suit humans’
Above all, some lucky ones get the fittest blocks for preparing the ‘key to the inner lock’
Hear inner instinct, forgiveness, strength, inspiration, optimism, realizing facts, a regular meet with ourselves, move-on, no revenge, balance, always trying to extract happiness and spirituality
All these shining, pearls beautify our souls and whisper all the hints to solve ‘a trending puzzle’ titled as ‘Where’s the Peace’
Puzzle- PEACE???
Solution- It is actually how much we enjoy our inner uniqueness not how much we have.
