Dear Ministers!
Because you pinpoint the
wrong of someone,
You are not absolved of
the grave charges
He has leveled against
you with a base.
It’ll rather strengthen
his and weaken yours.
21.10.2012
Negotiate the works.
Worry-less, one walks
down a road.
With worry, one climbs
down the cliff.
Worry comes in expecting
a fall.
Worry comes in fearing a
fall.
One thinks of fall
rather than
Negotiates his steps
there.
Fear takes away one’s
attention
From the task one is
going through
And diverts it to
worrying.
20.102012
Know your mother.
A cow knows which her
calf is.
A calf knows which its
cow is.
God knows me who see not
Him.
Instead, I know my
mother.
20.102012
Epics are stories.
A hero in the Epic is
exalted,
Justified and defended
for his acts
By the wit of the writer
to the taste
Of the readers. Read epics
for a taste.
20.10.2012
Hope of the old
The daughters and the
son of my son!
I am around you, serving
and pleasing
At the cost of my pride
and convenience.
It’s an investment for
the mercy to accrue;
The mercy of you and
your parents
To feed me when I go
invalid,
To nurse me when I am
bed ridden,
And to see me off in a
smooth sailing.
You may fail but I’ve no
alternative.
This is the fate of every
human
18.10.2012
Men of vision worry a lot.
A hen’s sight is short;
so are hers worries.
A wolf’s sight is long;
so are his worries.
Long sighted ones see
ahead to worry.
Short sighted men see
the life as it comes.
18.10.2012
The result is from luck.
Excess force breaks an
object.
Inadequate force goes
waste.
The fine line is hard to
find.
Fate determines your
results.
18.10.2012
Male is restless.
Man comes out of woman
And woman, out of woman.
Neither comes out of
man.
Man seeks woman for
love.
Man seeks woman for
shade.
Man’s restless to reach
her.
Can he win over her?
Can he be in her good
book?
Will she take him as
man?
He is restless for an
answer.
In merging with female,
Male becomes feminine
And sheds its
restlessness.

Soul speaks mother-tongue
He read English books
and write English poems
Throughout his carrier
and yet heart in heart
He enjoys hearing and
singing songs in Tamil.
He shouts in Tamil and
cries in Tamil.
The inner self speaks
only in mother tongue.
One feels at ease only
in mother tongue.
17.10.2012Anger is stoppable.
A cat stole your fish; a
street dog bit you.
You lost your wallet;
you fell from a slip.
You didn’t show anger at
them but swallowed.
You show at men for you
can affect them.
15.10.2012.
His death shamed his sons.
That was his birth day;
he was ninety two.
His eldest son asked him
what his wish was.
‘To die the very next
day.’ bitterly said he.
He died the next day.
His death shamed his sons.
15.10.2012
Live not being bothered.
Mice cannot live where
cats will not enter.
Mice do not abandon
feeding and mating
Because there’s a threat
from the predators.
Let me live my life, not
being bothered.
15.10.2012
Sacrifices give pleasure
Interest removes pain.
Possessiveness breeds
interests.
Attachments bring
possessiveness.
Sacrifices are done
willingly.
15.10.2012
Heads, hands and legs
Some are over-driven,
ambitious.
Some are duly driven,
complacent.
Some are under-driven,
lax and content.
Society needs them as
heads, hands and legs.
15.10.2012
The coffee break
Insert a moment or two
in a day.
You can anticipate it,
focus on it
And derive the
anticipated pleasure
When those moments
actually have arrived.
The rest of the day will
seem a build up
For those moments kept
in the focus
And will roll out easily
without bore.
If you don’t have one,
create such moments.
Lunch and dinner are my
two moments
Which I anticipate for
the pleasure
Of smoking cigarettes, a
constraint imposed.
To some even a coffee
break will do.
15.10.2012
Where woman lacks importance
Delivered and moulded by
my mother,
I was identified with my
father,
Who, delivered and
moulded by mother,
Was identified with his
father.
I go with my son; wife
is an onlooker.
The son of my daughter
I’ve no claim on.
In each generation,
mother is removed
From the memory line of
the family.
Let my name carry the
name of mother
And of father behind it
to the world.
Let me have the names of
the grand mothers
And grandfathers on both
sides in record.
14.10.2012
The seeds of the garden
I grew a garden with
seeds brought from some.
I alone know from where
I got those seeds.
I do not know to which
gardens have gone
The seeds of mine for
growing plants of theirs.
13.10.2012
It is their fate
Scientists say with
proofs; preachers say with faith.
Some believe both; some believe
either.
It’s their choice as to
which they should believe.
They realize when they
reap the harvest.
13.10.2012
The old are the waste cotton
As cotton, I was dear to
the farmer,
And then to the spinner.
Becoming yarn,
To the weaver and as cloth
to the user.
I was dear in care for
the rest of time.
Worn out, I was sent to
be as waste cotton.
Torn out, I was thrown
to disintegrate.
As old, everyone would
be thrown out.
13.10.2012
Don’t lose gratitude.
You get importance when
someone seeks you.
If you show him air and
belittle him
You embitter him and he
values you cheap.
Your helps to him earn
you no gratitude.
12.10.2012
Priests and doctors are privileged.
There is a tag to wipe
your sin.
There is a tag to earn
you bliss.
There is a tag to cure
your ills.
There is a tag to keep
off ills.
Priests and doctors get
their fees.
You pay them without
guarantees.
12.10.2012
Man struggles with men.
Punishment is to spend
the anger
And is not to set right
the victim.
Laws are to augment the
ruler
And is not to serve the
subjects.
Man struggles with men
to exist.
12.10.2012
The faulty judgment
Two daughters of mine
had a fight.
I heard both; both
altered the truth.
I couldn’t shave off the
untruth
And felt guilty of my
judgment.
12.10.2012
Myth about the self
What is self? Which is
self? Who know?
The accumulated thought
is self.
Thought lost, the sense
of self is lost.
Thought is memory’s
expression.
Thought is conditioned
by dogmas,
Convictions, customs and
habits,
Also by experience and
knowledge.
Thought lost, memory
lost, self is lost.
Self must be an ugly
product.
It wants to surge ahead
in streams.
It wants to go ahead on
road.
Selfishness is its
character.
It’s self that makes
divisions
Among people, faiths and
nations.
Self is the cause all
clashes.
Self cannot be dislodged
from heart.
Self is not the
wholeness of life.
One’s life is inclusive
of self.
Life is the string of
creation.
Creation exists without
self.
Death terminates one’s
life and self.
Death does not liberate
the self.
Keep the self under the
control
More with the brain than
with the heart.
12.10.2012
He is an idiot.
There are circumstances
Where presence is a
disturbance,
Helps a nuisance, gifts
a waste
And advice an intrusion.
One is an idiot not to
know this.
11.10.2012
Fact is a mystery.
‘Misbehaved’, she
alleged.
‘Misconduct’, he
accused.
The later has dismissed
the former.
Truth is a mystery to
outsiders.
11.10.2012
Pseudo patriarchy system
The bride leaves her
parental home
And adopts as hers the
groom’s home.
Patriarchy system is not
in play.
Woman’s interest is
behind the play.
Woman is much possessive
of her son
Who she wants to be with
her on marriage.
She lets her daughter go
away instead
As the tree lets its
seeds go on dispersal.
11.10.2012

Let great men’s children get food.
There were great men by
whom the society
Has immensely benefited
and yet
It utterly failed to
treat their descendants,
Who reeled in poverty
and are forgotten.
To honour the great
after their exit
Is not remembrance of
their names
But helping of their
ailing progeny.
Let his child get food
before he gets fame.
10.10.2012
A grain of sand
A man sinks himself in a
woman’s esteem
When he bothers her with
his love in haste,
An ordinary woman though
she’s been,
And she gains a great
strength to dismiss him.
This privilege does not
belong to her.
She has got this
privilege granted by him
From his weakness for
her love and figure.
It took much toll for
him to understand.
When she kicked him out,
ignoring his helps,
He felt his male ego
maimed ruthlessly.
He dropped his claim on
her and left for his wife.
Binodini was a grain of
sand in all eyes.
10.10.2012
[Chokher Bali or A Grain
of Sand is a novel
Written by Rabindranath
Tagore.]
Human race will shrink.
No love for parents,
they are in homes.
No love for family,
living-in is preferred.
Children a burden, contraceptives
are used.
Human race will shrink;
man is the cause.
09.10.2012
The greatest wisdom
The rich food, once
eaten, will be out.
The desire, once met,
will be lost.
The great fun, once had,
will be gone.
I stopped giving any
value to them.
It is the wisdom I have
acquired late.
The birth itself is a
bubble to burst.
Not craving rebirth is
the greatest wisdom.

The strength of the revolutionaries
On a strong note, scents
spurt from flowers.
They spread, grow weak
and dissolve in the air.
On a strong note,
revolutionaries rise.
They rush, turn mild and
merge with the main stream.
08.10.2012
Qualifications
Qualifications give me a
license
To treat that I know
more than what I know
And give others a notion
about me
That I know more than I
truly know.
Qualifications misguide
in two ways:
A confidence booster to
the holders;
A hall-mark to the
estimators.
Qualifications are sold
for a price.

The sun set days
Siblings are your blood
but not their spouses.
The offspring is your
blood but not its spouse.
Getting supports from
the blood relations
Is not digested by their
better-halves.
You are that much
orphaned by relations.
You have to swallow
scorns in sun set days.
05.10.2012
Sexual thoughts to die last.
Having lost the vigour
to produce seeds,
To send out blossom and
give out shoots and leaves,
With the stem turning
senseless in due course,
A tree still feels the
pulse of lust and life
With its roots being
active to the earth.
Having lost the vigour
to impregnate,
To keep counts and
volume from falling,
With the stem losing its
power in aging,
A man still feels the
pulse of life and lust
With his thoughts
responsive to women.
05.09.2012
A war between Ravna and Kauravas
Rama fought Ravna and
killed him.
The good prevailed over
the evil.
Thus spoke Ramayana the
Epic.
Pandavas fought Kauravas
and killed them.
The justice prevailed
over the wrong.
Thus spoke Mahabharata
the Epic.
What if Ravna and
Kauravas fought?
It is happening in
politics now.
04.10.2012
Critics outside and inside.
Peers are critics
outside and conscience,
The critic inside. We
listen to both.
We make efforts to
silence both the critics.
When there is a conflict
between the two,
Do answer the calls from
the conscience
Rather than yield to the
peers’ pressure.
One thinks of oneself
when one spends for food.
One thinks of pears when
one spends on clothes.
Love from pity is the
call of conscience.
Love for relation is the
call of peers.
People go bankrupt from
peers’ pressure.
A coward is led by peers
influence.
03.10.2012
Sceptism and religion
The eagle is the chariot
of God Vishnu.
The bull is the chariot
of God Siva.
The lion is the chariot
of Goddess Kali.
The mouse is the chariot
of God Ganesh.
The peacock is the
chariot of God Karthik.
Hanuman is the god
incarnate monkey.
The Hindus revere them
in images
And ignore them at ease
in their live forms.
Sceptism finds no place
in religions.
03.10.2012
Live-in relation leads to isolation
The courtship serves
that they know each other.
The marriage entails living
together.
Marriages fail from
successful courtships.
Living together cuts
space for movements.
Divorce is a cumbersome
exercise.
Sometimes, pounds of
flesh are extracted.
To circumvent the
divorce from marriage,
Live-in relationships
have been brought in.
In live-in relation, man
and woman
Live together, having
conjugal love,
And beget children with
all sanctity.
It may or not lead to
marriage later.
In certain cases,
living-in is had
As a stop gap
arrangement for marriage;
Living-in is as good as a
married life.
It can serve being a
good test-drive test.
To end marriage is to
sell a house.
To end living-in is to
end a lease.
Live –in relation is
easy to break
Before marriage or later
from staleness
‘Till death do us part’
has been outdated.
Living-in is a step before
wedding.
Wedding is still
preferred as it gives one joy
Of going public with the
relationship.
With less commitment,
live-in relation
Is easy to break and
easy to acquire.
Change of partners
drives out monotony.
After sexual life,
isolation will set in.
02.10.2012
Death is orphaned
Motherless, a man is at
the mercy
Of his wife or daughter
for his sun-set.
It’s his fate how they’d
tend his last days.
In their absence, his
death is orphaned.
02.10.2012
Be sexy effortlessly.
Being sexy is not
revealing parts.
Being sexy is
highlighting features.
Highlight hair, ears,
neck, upper back,
Arms or legs but one or
two at a time.
There’s a fine line
between being sexy
And being cheap, which a
woman must note.
For a toned body, no
need of windows.
For defying hair, no
need of hair-do.
For evenness of the
skin, no cosmetics;
For hygiene body, no
need of perfume.
On a pair of high heels
one is sexy
With breasts forward and
buttocks upward.
To look sexy, woman must
feel sexy.
In feeling sexy, she
gains confidence
About her sexual prowess
and command.
Be sexy effortlessly and
hunt men’s eyes.
01.10.2012.
Anger from love
Parents are free to spit
anger
At their children, who
are that free
To sulk or cry at their
parents.
The anger from love
gives no hurts.
At whom you are free to
anger
And at whom it leaves no
scars,
Him or her, you love
with much care.
Quarreling couples are
in love.
30.09.2012
Fear is the reward.
Mother’s death is the
gravest.
One’s own death is the
deadliest.
One is destined to face
the both.
The fear waits as
rewards.
29.09.2012
Weakness makes strength.
A batsman shines against
weak bowlers;
A bowler shines against
weak batsmen.
One’s weakness is the
opponent’s strength.
One’s meekness is
opponent’s might.
29.09.2012
Fight based on the faith
The Himalaya is in the
North,
A child was taught in
India.
The Himalaya is in the
South,
A child was taught in
China.
As adults they fought
each other
Over their faiths held
as the truth.
29.09.2012
Bad men have friends
One does not fear a
snake
That he doesn’t know a
snake
Or about which he’s no
idea.
Bad men too have as much
friends.
29.09.2012
As a captain…
A captain has to take
decisions.
In case they backfire,
he’d be haunted
By their outcome or
taunted by critics.
He must’ve maneuvering
skills to stay afloat.

The world’s decay
Austerity in energy
And energy in forestry
Are the paths of
recovery
From the decay of the
world.
28.09.2012
Detect the colour
Each one is selfish;
each one is greedy;
Each one is hostile. The
scale might differ.
None of them would
reveal their true colour.
It is up to you to
detect and deal.
