Omicron, the newest avatar of coronavirus, is knocking at the door, A purveyor of terror more and more! We are getting our just deserts As many of us are nature’s culprits, moral cripples and perverts! Doesn’t it serve us right As we took lightly mother nature’s might? Steeped in our hubris and ignorance, we areContinue reading “Life Lessons”

हो एक व्यापक दृष्टिकोण, सोच न संकुचित हो, न हो गौण! सागर सा हो हृदय विशाल, न कोई द्वेष, न मलाल! जीवन के प्रति हो उमंग, मन में उठती हो तरंग! दामिनी की भाँति धमनियों में दौड़ता हो रक्त, आभा ऐसी जिसे लखने थम सा जाए वक़्त! जीवन मूल्यों के प्रति हो अपार निष्ठा, जिससेContinue reading “उच्च जीवन”

Keep the child in you alive, Let it flourish and you drive! Let its spontaneity enliven your life, Keep intact its innocence at any price! Let its honesty your life mark, Let its tinkling laughter be a ray in your life dark! As life batters you, only the child inside you will keep you alive,Continue reading “Nourish the Child Inside You”

Beauty resides in a heart, A heart that knows no wart, A heart that like a glow worm shines, And draws no narrow constricting lines, A heart that is all light, That like the moon illumines the dark night, A heart that goes out to others And is as large as that of all mothers,Continue reading “Where Does Beauty Reside?”

I left because you never asked me to stay, I realised that I had to find my way! It dawned upon me that in life you are on your own, So the mantle of self-reliance I decided to don! As I gathered the courage to go my own way, I was mesmerised by the splendidContinue reading “I Left Because—”

You have nothing to prove, So to the music of your soul groove! You have nothing to hide, Why hedge your bets and your time needlessly bide? You have nothing but your chains to lose, Why then haul yourself over the coals and cook your own goose? You have nowhere to go to, Why thenContinue reading “Be What You Are”

जो जीता वही सिकंदर, जो हारे न उसके कुछ पल्ले, न उसके अंदर! जीतने वाले का जादू सिर चढ़ कर बोले, हारने वाले का तो जैसे सूरज ही अस्त हो जाए हौले हौले! जीतने वाले का सब लोहा मानें, हारने वाले को कौन है जाने? जीतने वाले का तो झूठ भी सच माना जाए, हारनेContinue reading “जो जीता वही सिकंदर–एक भ्रम आसक्ति”

When glum people see a happy soul Who is always on a roll, They are cut to the quick, And to mar her happiness they can be upto any trick! I wonder why people can not take another’s happiness, Why they are so put off by her peppiness, Why they do not take a leafContinue reading “Be Happy and Guard Your Happiness”

इस दिवाली कर जीवन अपना प्रकाशित, स्वयं की गरिमा बढ़ा, सत्य को कर स्थापित, आत्मा को बना प्रहरी, असत्य को कर निष्कासित, छल कपट का साथ दे न कर स्वयं को श्रापित, धर्म की उठा पताका, स्वयं को बना सबल, इच्छा सर्वोत्तम जीवन जीने की हो जाए तेरी प्रबल, कर धारण ज्ञान को, अज्ञानता कोContinue reading “दीपावली के शुभ अवसर पर—”

On this festival of lights, spread light all around, Why shouldn’t you with positivity yourself surround? Let the light of righteousness the whole world illuminate Where no one does another humiliate, Where the light of truth and reason beckons all, Where none between one person and another does erect a wall, Where right invariably prevailsContinue reading “On this festival of lights—”
