Do what your heart wants.

Sing a song,
With a beat,
Or out of tune,
In front of people,
Or all alone,
Without fear,
Do what your heart wants.

In the rain,
Or under the shade,
When it is sunny,
Or it is cloudy,
Dance your heart out,
With no shame,
Do what your heart wants.

Travel new places,
Or stay at home,
With your family,
Or all alone,
With full contentment,
Do what your heart wants.

Make new friends,
Or spend time with old ones,
At new hangouts,
Or just that old tea stall,
Without any resentment,
Do what your heart wants.

Play games,
To relax your mind,
Or to energize your body,
With no pressure of tomorrow,
Do what your heart wants.

Celebrate life,
With smile on face,
Come what may,
Do what your heart wants.

All that you want.

That swanky car,
That glittering dress,
That fairy tale weddings,
That enormous bank balance,
Are things that you want.

A roof over their head,
A loaf of bread,
A small piece of cloth,
A  glass of water,
Are things that poor want.

That exotic holidays,
That private islands,
That palatial villa,
That successful career,
Are things that you want.

A peaceful surrounding,
A happy family,
A house filled with laughter,
A life with no miseries,
Are things that poor want.


That private jet,
That beautiful chick,
That romantic getaways,
That seven course meals,
Are things that you want.

A heart filled with love,
A loyal friend,
A long lasting relationship,
A life with no worries,
Are things that everyone wants.

Mindful

Mind is always full,
With thoughts of yesterday,
As well as the plans for next day,
While we forget what day is today.


Mind manipulates,
And plays games,
Of what may happen,
When it might not happen.

Mind controls us,
Makes us anxious,
Makes us fearful,
By recalling the past,
And hindering our growth.


Mind agitates us,
Reminding us painful experiences,
Shutting the bright present,
That is present before us.

Lets be mindful,
Of where we are,
What we are doing,
Bring closure to past,
Welcoming the present.

Lets be mindful,
Of negative reactions,
Those painful experiences,
And what stores in future.

Lets be present,
Solve the current problems,
Stop fretting about 'next'.
And take everything as it comes.

The Ego Cell

The soul is trapped,

Under the layers,

Of apprehensive mind,

Of false judgement,

Of silly misunderstandings,

Of boastful self,

In this wretched ego cell.

Relationships are broken,

Families depart,

Lovers drift,

Friendships are lost,

And soul becomes lonely,

In this wretched ego cell.

Selfishness replaces kindness,

Hatred replaces love,

Head weight replaces giving nature,

Materialistic attitude replaces spirituality.

And negativity takes over,

In this wretched ego cell.

Mind is involved,

In juicy gossips,

In belittling others,

In proving one's worth,

In strategies to bring others down

And everything wrong.

Exaggeration of one's talent,

'I' is more important,

Success becomes obsession,

Everyone becomes problem,

More is less,

And nothing seems good.

When one accepts their flaws,

When one learns to forgive,

When one puts 'us' before 'I',

When  less is more than enough,

Will the soul free itself,

From the wretched ego cell.

Feelings

Feelings can be beautiful,
Like the serene place,
Waiting to be discovered,
As well as provide tranquility,
To everyone and anyone,
Who sets their foot,
On this divine place.

Feelings can be fearful,
Like dark dungeons,
Of enormous cave,
Filled with mystery,
And  hidden risk,
That cause fears,
In our mind.

Feelings can be joyful,
Like the smiley emoticon,
That generates love,
As well as the care,
Happiness and excitement,
And sends message,
To a lost soul,
That 'I will be there for you'.

Feelings can be negative,
Like mighty demon,
Waiting to take his revenge,
Showing off his false ego,
Proving everyone and anyone,
That they are important.

Feelings can be inspiring,
Like the calm spiritual teacher ,
Giving wisdom and lessons,
On life complexities,
And path to liberation,
From mental entanglements

Feelings can be restless,
Like the torrent sea,
Breaking the barriers of land,
Destroying lives and homes,
And bringing disasters,
Wherever it goes. 

Where there is will

Where there is will,
There is way,
There is hope,
There is determination,
And there is resolution.

Where there is will,
There are new ideas,
There is possibility,
There is positivity,
To move ahead.

Where there is will,
There will be doors open,
There will be opportunities,
As well as challenges,
Waiting to be touched.

Where there is  will,
Struggles seems bearable,
Negativity is negligible,
Strength is at peak.

Where there is will,
Mind becomes optimistic,
Levels of energy enhances,
Impossible seems achievable.

Where there is will,
There is way,
Mind blocks disappears,
And road to success is visible.

Happy Vijaydashami

Let the piousness thrive,

Let the light of hope strike,

For the naive souls,

Fighting their inner demons

In form of anxiety, depression and fears.

Let the strength prevail,

Let the calmness set,

For the naive souls,

Fighting their inner battles,

In form of negative emotions, frustration and despair.

Let the truth rise,

Let the lies burn,

Let the battles end,

For the naive souls,

Fighting their never ending struggles,

In form of egos, addiction and habits.

Let the miracles happen,

Let belief in goodness bloom,

For the naive souls,

Fighting their inner conflicts,

In form of heartbreaks, peer pressure and  life choices.

Let the sanity set in,

Let the arrogance melt,

For the naive souls,

Fighting their stubborn ego,

In form of haughtiness, boastful self and false pride.

On this holy day of Dussehra,

Let the good win over evil,

Let the impurity within us,

Get washed away,

By the sound and sight,

Of holy name of Lord. 

My mom's lap

My mom's lap,
Soft and comfortable,
A heaven on earth,
A place I can call home.

My mom's lap,
Removes distress,
Vanishes my worries,
Gives me hope,
Boosts up my worth.

Her tender caressing,
My broad forehead,
That's always thinking,
About uncertain future,
And irreversible past.

Her gentle brushing,
My disheveled hair,
Giving me confidence,
A symbol of hope,
That everything will be okay.

My mom's lap,
A place of love,
Affection and compassion,
A place I can call home.

Glories to Lord Krishna

His sweet smile,
His wide lotus eyes,
His curly dark hair,
His blue soft skin,
Enchanted everyone in Gokula,
when he arrived.

His wisdom words,
His stern advises,
His holy name,
His stories,
Can eradicate darkness,
And spread joy.

A loyal friend,
A great teacher,
A wise philosopher,
A loving son,
But nothing can compare,
His love for his devotees

The evening sky

The sun sets,
Slowly dissolving and melting,
Letting the moon to replace,
It's place and shine.

The day is over,
The night begins,
The birds fly,
Back to their chicks,
And dwelling faraway.

The skies are no longer blue,
It's orange sometimes,
It's violet sometimes,
And suddenly turns completely dark.

The stars begin to shine,
The weather is calm,
Pleasant and serene,
With momentary breeze.

Krishna's Meera

To the world,

she was someone's wife,

she was someone's daughter,

she was Rajput royal,

but to her,

she was only Krishna's Meera

She was a child,

naive and curious,

asked her mother,

"who will be my groom?",

her mother smiled,

pointing at Krishna's idol,

saying, "he's the one"

Little did her mother knew,

what she said as a jest,

would be  taken seriously,

her daughter's love,

grew leaps and bound,

as years passed by

Precious gems,

Sparkling ornaments,

Elegant clothes,

nothing attracted her,

more than Lord's name

Every day,

Every minute,

Every second,

she was immersed

in Krishna's name

She was tested,

every walks of her life,

Her in laws conspired,

to execute her,

but nothing stopped her,

from being Krishna's Meera

Writer's Block

Blank spaces,

Empty pages,

Lost words,

Clogged mind,

Unsure where to start or end

Many stories in mind,

Many sagas to unfold,

Many poems to share,

Many thoughts to inspire,

Unsure where to start or end

Pen in hand,

Thoughts in mind,

Staring at the emptiness,

Unsure where to start or end

Let's teach our child

Let's teach our child,

to love themselves,

completely and unconditionally,

accepting their flaws,

forgetting what world wants them to be

Let teach our child,

to make mistakes,

and learn from them,

the lessons of life,

and never repeat them again.

Let's teach our child,

to be patient and calm,

waiting for their time,

with more focus and determination,

and never give up attitude

Let's  teach our child,

their life is beyond,

marks and grades,

expectation of societies,

and career and success

Let's teach our child,

to think and ponder,

to create and build,

to question the rules,

not just follow the norms

Let's teach our child,

to live life to the fullest,

to be brave and courageous,

to accept their special talents,

to be themselves.

Stay strong

Stay strong,
Things may go wrong,
But life must go on,
Don't stop,
Move on.

Stay focused,
Don't look back,
Past can't be changed,
But present can be modified.

Stay patient,
Dreams will be true,
Your time will come,
But now is not too late,
Or too early.

Stay happy,
Spread joy,
Smiles are precious,
So are the good memories.

Stay grounded,
Fly as far as you can,
But don't forget your roots,
Every bird returns to its nests,
Once the sun sets.

Stay determined,
Don't let the world,
The failures and disappointments,
wash your confidence.

Fight back,
Aim higher,
Don't give up
Keep going.

The Rain

The sun shies behind the clouds,
hiding its brightness,
diminishing its heat,
to make way for the rain.

The clouds join together,
negatives ones as well as positive ones,
filled with water droplets,
collected from the ground.

The lightening strikes,
the thunder roars,
the temperature falls,
the sky darkens,
to signify the arrival of the rain.

One drop falls,
Another falls,
and several falls together,
within few minutes,
wetting the cities and towns.

While everyone runs,
to escape the wrath,
the plants spread their leaves,
to accept God's blessings.

The soil enriches,
the flowers blooms,
the droplets form on leaves,
several lives are reborn,
due to the rain. 

Surrendering

Ego vanishes,

Anger disappears,

Frustration thwarts,

Miseries reduces,

when one surrender completely to Lord.

Devotion is utmost,

Vision focused,

Mind is at trance,

Peaceful and tranquility surrounds us,

when one surrenders completely to Lord.

One becomes non reactive,

to negativity and illness,

to hatred and despair,

to fear and anxiety,

when one surrenders completely to Lord

Winter Yearnings

I yearn for cold winds blowing over my face,

I yearn for thick sweaters covering my skin,

I yearn for cloudy sky,

I yearn for momentary gloomy days,

I yearn for chilly nights,

I yearn for hot chocolate and warm soup,

I yearn for feel of shiver under my skin,

I yearn goosebumps formation all over my body,

I yearn for cozy blankets making me feel like a zombie,

I yearn making snowman, playing snowball and everything snow,

I yearn for snowflakes falling from the sky,

I yearn for winter season 

I heart you my darling

His chocolaty brown eyes,

His large hands ,

His warm childlike smile,

His strong shoulders,

His sweet voice ,

makes me love him even more 

I heart you my darling 

Red chilli in the Tadka

The ghee heats,

sending intoxicating aroma,

propelling the hunger,

causing mouth to water,

waiting for the ingredients,

to dance in it.

First, the Red Chilli,

enters the simmering heat,

dancing and withering,

causing nostrils to flare

Next the garlic steps in,

aware of it's consequence,

turning golden,

and blending with the ghee.

As Tadka is ready,

the Dal awaits patiently,

for the new comers,

to bring the change,

and enhance the taste

Cheer up !

There are days
when sunshine within us,
loses its brightness,
Cheer up and move on !

There are times
when we frown,
while world smiles,
Cheer up and smile at the world's joy!

There are years,
when we try, try and try hard,
but our efforts fails
Cheer up and continue!

There are times,
when we feel our prayers,
don't reach God,
Cheer up ! God is with us.

There are experiences
that make us low,
miserable and inferior,
Cheer up and forget them all!

There are days,
when we are free as wind,
and want to be grounded,
and there are times,
when we are busy as a bee,
and want to rest,
Cheer up and enjoy every moment!

The Love Poem

Love with full heart,
Love not half
Love completely,
Love not partially

Love oneself,
as well as others
Love selflessly,
Love not selfishly

Love purely,
Love not obsessively
Love wholeheartedly,
Love not hesitantly


Love one's soul,
not just their body
Love one's flaws.
not just their perfection

My mother's garden flowers

The red roses,

The honeydew hibiscus,

The white jasmine,

The tiny shuli flowers,

The orange marigold,

ornate my mother's garden,

like precious jewels adorn,

by gorgeous amazon.

Their sweet smell,

attract swarming bees,

in hunt for nectar,

and some pollen seeds

Their colourful sights,

are mother's pride,

and her eyes delight,

making passerbys stop,

and revel it's beauty

The bright sunshine,

The fertile soil,

The plentiful water,

The rain Gods blessings,

is what they all need

My mother glows,

at fruits of her work,

with tiny pinch of patience,

and large portion of nature's rewards


                                           

The Love life cycle

At the age of tots and toddler,

the innocent heart,

the curious mind,

the sweet smile,

that melts everyone,

that believes in fairy tales,

and everything magical,

knows how to love,

but unaware what is love

As we grow up,

the mind learns,

the senses wake up,

the hormones fluctuates,

the adrenaline rushes,

the confusion happens

while we mistaken forever love

for temporary lust,

breaking hearts and relationships,

becoming crazy mad lovers

As we mature,

life becomes race,

winning is essential,

but stability is important,

as well as companionship,

and long lasting love

At age of elderliness,

the memories are remembered,

the past is regretted,

the guilt sinks in,

the heart longs for love,

but doesn't know how,

when it knows what is love.

and keep some goodness
