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
