My elder Kin


Knock!! knock!!
Goes the sunbeam
into my eyelids,
breaking my dream....

..............

Splash!!splash!!
went the drops
all over me....
'Stop man!!!"
i shouted,"MUMMY!!!!"

........................
Down i fell,
'Don't! it hurt!'

'Don't shake!
Let the blood stop!'he yelled...
Spot!spot!
went his tear drops
over me....

......................................

Quiver
And shiver
showed up
my fever...

There he swayed
that hand fan...
tired and dead
i lay...

Drip!drip!
went his perpiration
over me....

.....................................................

Wandering
late night
i entered home
Harsh,was his sight..

Dash!dash!
went his cold hands
over my cheeks...
'Leisure or work,
NEVER AFTER DUSK!'
He burst...

...................................................

Oh!Sun Lord!!
why prod me up
from that
world wonder??

You know-
I had in it,
Something alteast
To cherish and ponder
I had
in it,
my brother,
elder..................................

Oh dear!
make those tears and smiles
in my next revival--
not less than
nearer!!!!

My answer to "Why is learning important to you and how has it impacted your life?"

Has anyone imagined how would it be if there is no education at all? I have had first-hand experience and let me give you a virtual-reality experience… There lived a family – mother, father and two kids. The father (henceforth referred to as the ‘hunter’) wakes up right on time to start to work (a sedentary one, of course!). The wife (called ‘attendant’ in the ensuing lines) wakes up early (Nah! She cannot go to work – no one ‘offered’ her education) to attend to all the needs of the family including keeping her husband’s (yes! Coz it’s her duty!) things ready for the day, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes etc. Yet there is no contribution on the other end, just snaps and yells. She tolerates, in fact, feels guilty, that she had not performed her duties right. She feels sad and she regrets for being a bad wife and sometimes, a bad mother (that is how she is induced to infer) …that’s how she has been trained. And that’s the training her girl will get too. The attendant was ‘taug...

Out and about

A rocking song Goes on and on Dancers hopping And bopping With the beats At their feet. Lights flicker And seem to bicker Who is bigger! The air is cool To chill every duel. Shouts and cheers, Sorrows so mere, Pitch up and above… Ah! there goes a scared cow!! ‘Aargh!’ the thunder roars and halts their soar. Out comes The joyous group With their bliss droop. Towering high Was the moon light, With the stars twinkling, At them, winking. The night’s breeze Offers the desired freeze. The song so silent Soothes their tired bend. There was their party Calm and darting In the less felt planet- The nature, the life.

A cry for life…a calm life

She sails as if her sole pains… yet she talks as she walks ‘I shouldn’t disturb my child, I make no sound, not even mild’ With her sweet burden But light at heart, She thinks and admires God’s wonderful art That dwells in her…. As she does so, She is pained To part go With her life, Part of hers, into this universe. Oh! Yes! The little one Knows it too… Just hear him moan! The world hears it And laughs At the lovely kid, Never knowing his weepy bit. His cries Of fear and solitude In this war, so huge, of time, money and par. ‘Ma, why show me this world so bright, my body gets hurt by the false right in light, why can’t it always be GOOD NIGHT!!’
