Kid And His World…

Submitted to March Challenge

 

His eyes seek his mother,

Tilting and rotating his head,

His eyes light up when he sees her,

His hands go up in the air to catch her,

 

Because that’s New World for him

 

His hands taking mud to his mouth,

As if he is having a chocolate or candy,

Taking that mud filled mouth to his mother,

Like he has won the war and earned the glory,

 

Because that’s New World for him

 

His first steps towards his mother,

His first step outside of the house,

Make him believe in himself and,

Joy on his face is unmatchable,

 

Because that’s New World for him

 

First animal seen on the streets,

And the leap towards him to catch it,

Not being aware of the consequences,

But still the mighty heart to do it,

 

Because that’s New World for him

 

Resting in his mother’s arms,

He stalks everyone passing by,

With very curious and staring eyes,

As if he knows them or wants to know,

 

Because that’s New World for him

Chakra — Life Cycle #aros

सुत्र फिरायला लागली आहेत.

वातावरण बदलायला लागल आहे,

कुन्द वाटणारी खोलीसुद्धा हवीहवीशी वाटतीये,

नकोसे वाटणारे लोकसुद्धा चांगले वाटत आहेत,

गजबजलेला रस्ता एकदम आपलासा वाटतोय आता,

आधी”काहिच नाही इथे” म्हणणारा मी,

“कसा सोडून जाउ मी हे” अस म्हणतोय आता,

या गोष्टिचा खेद नाहिए की हे सगळ माग पडणार आहे,

पण आश्चर्य या गोष्टिच आहे की,

नाविन्याची चाहूल लागाताना,

जुनाट गोष्टी कशा आपल्याशा वाटायला लागातात.

 

*****

 

नव्याची चाहूल, जुन्याचा निसटता स्पर्श,

हाती खेळत राहणारा तो सुवासिक गंध,

सगळच हवहवस वाटतय आता.

पण हे चक्र असच चालत राहणार…. अविरत…

True To Themselves… #aros

पर्दे को क्या पता,

वो ज़माने से क्या छुपा रहा है,

वो तो सिर्फ़ अपने मालिक से,

वफ़ा करना जानता है.

 

 
चश्मे को क्या पता,

आखें उसमे से क्या देखती है,

वो तो सिर्फ़ नज़ारोको,

आरपार करवाना जानता है.

 

Heart – A Poor Chap…

 

 

 

Heart is such a poor chap,

It expects a lot of things,

Every time things break him badly,

But every time it collects the pieces

 

Somewhere deep within it knows,

That people are not what he thinks,

Still he wants them to be good with him,

But he only finds himself being with chinks

 

He doesn’t have a sibling like ears or eyes,

Who can be there for each other at all times,

Or it’s not like hairs which have thousands of pals,

It’s a single entity in the body

 

Take impure blood and spit pure blood out,

But I wish converse should be true with people,

Count only good people and spit bad ones out,

But as I said, Heart is a poor chap.

 

 

Planned Spontaneity…

Water turning rapidly,

Out of the blue and,

On a straight terrain,

Is spontaneous

 

Flowers blooming afresh,

On any day of week,

With no certain timing,

Is spontaneous

 

Wind flowing hay where,

With no certain direction,

Always changing its course,

Is spontaneous

 

Chromosomes of a human,

X and Y, two of them,

Mixing and matching,

Is spontaneous

 

But frankly speaking,

Every spontaneous action,

Is somehow planned,

Right or wrong

 

Its implications differ,

Bringing about evolution,

As Darwin has said,

Is Planned Spontaneity

 

Inspired by March Challenge – 22 – Spontaneity

As a Child…

 

As a child, he always found,

Every burning flame to be catchy,

The mud on the ground as eat worthy,

Running out of clutches of hands as try worthy,

And not getting what wanted as cry worthy.

 

As a child, he always found,

The colour of skin, not a hindrance in friendship,

The disability, not a barrier in relationship,

The excellence, not a stopper from mending boundaries,

Money, not a mean to differentiate standards

 

As a child, he always found,

Nature to be real friend and guide to wisdom,

Books to be real path finder to the World,

Parents to be the real friends and philosophers,

Education to be real thing and not just degree

Woes of A Father…

He pulled the kid close to him. There was an urge of a father in pulling the kid. The kid too willingly went into the arms of that person and hugged him till his small hands could reach. The man held the kid with one hand and maneuvered the road blocking rod with other hand. He uses the spot under the tree shadow to make himself safe from beaming Sun rays and dry heat.

The kid was now trying to get rid of from the clutches of that man and run or move wildly on the road. And the man saw danger in it as he was blocking the internal road from the main road, and if the boy runs of main road he might hurt himself. But the kid was oblivious to the facets of manic traffic on the road and etiquettes to follow.

 

While trying to keep the kid in the clutches the expression on father’s face changed. It was clear from his expressions that he was feeling proud as well as worried about the child’s future. Proud for the reason that the kid found himself as a student in some local playschool and worried because he earned meager salary to fulfill the household necessities and his child’s education. Proud because he felt he is doing the right thing by working hard and earning money for his family. He is treading the right path and has not involved himself in some wrong ways of earning money. This was his hard work’s money, but worried because his daily job was to guard the internal road from main road traffic. He was now thinking, when my son grows and goes to school, will telling my job profile bring shame in him??

 

Height In Love…

The two were walking by the side of the road. Rather the boy was walking on the road and the girl was on the footpath besides, but still the height matched. Both were so much into each other, they forgot about the world besides them living fully. The boy holding the hand of the girl and they must be talking about their budding love. The girl was at times leaning on the boy and the boy expertly balancing her leaning. She at times bent sideways to explain some things to him, personally. He was also curious to know her case and so tried to be on his heels to show the full attention. They were living in their romantic World; completely oblivious to the fact that World co-existed with them.

 

What the couple implied was that there is no height issue between them; rather there should not be any height issue in love. The couple was example that Love is Love and height in love is not at all an issue. Yes, what can be an issue is height difference in two mentalities.

Minnow We…

Every now and then Earth shakes,

Breaking its own layer in pieces,

A volcano erupts and tsunami hits,

Leaving behind the unwanted creases

 

We might’ve reached to Mars and Moon,

Maybe next stop will be the Sun,

We have advanced in Science so much,

But can’t bear Earth’s even a small pun

 

No matter how great our brain is,

And how great we think we are,

We should always remember,

We are still a planet in this plethora of stars.
