On this journey of life
Travelling the path on my own
To search the way of real success
By meeting the other travellers on my way
I got to know the paths of success are different
Some are travelling through shortcut
And getting name and fame instantly
Without thinking about direction as right or wrong one
Are these bunch of travellers the successful ones?
Or the ones who check the path before travelling
To safeguard the interests of the people who accompany them
And assure the stay of success will be longer for sure
Are these bunch of travellers the most successful ones?
Success does not need standards to validate it’s existence
Nor the perception of societal opinions can determine it
It’s only your mindset which define the meaning of success for you
Just take care the shortcuts do not deprive some one from achieving their milestone
And the longest paths do not make you short of time
So choose your path wisely and effectively
And enjoy the stay of success happily

“O Dear, Please Forbear”
O dear, I see fear
In those conceited eyes,
Beholding selfish dreams,
Cold as ice.
O dear, I can hear
The harsh voice turning brittle,
Boasting of power and might,
With empathy so little.
O dear, I feel you tremble
Beneath the sombre sky,
Where you deceived the Creator,
You could never answer why.
O dear, it’s time you listened
To what Mother Nature is whispering,
Her unhealed soul is piercing clouds,
Her patience is now withering .
O dear, please forbear
The trees and mountains must thrive ,
Live and let live other life forms ,
So harmony may survive.
O dear, now that you’re here
Find your breath to contemplate ,
Mother Nature seeks a kinder you ,
Her love shall then resonate .

TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY
Cloudburst after cloudburst
Triggering flash floods
Disrupted essential services, manage and adjust.
Causing havoc, devastation and destruction
Of life and property all over.
Tragedy caused unbearable and unbelievable pain
Due to choked bridges, rivers, nallas and drains.
Tragedy after tragedy befalls
No man made mistakes called for.
Why? A solution to save all
All must understand across.
Rivers and nallas will take revenge
And reclaim their territory
Captured by humans a sort of avenge.
Ignore not the nature
Disturb it not .
And ignore not God
Commit avoidable mistakes not.
Rivers and nallas will reclaim their territory
Forcing government to issue advisory after advisory
Such advisories will be of no avail
Provided good sense among the masses prevails.
God bless all
Allow tragedy not to befall.
Tragedy after tragedy reminds us all
To mend our ways and behave all
A clarion call for the benefit of all.
