Sidha bye bye

Thought of writing Poem on the farewell
Tried couple of times, but didn’t fair well
It's only a physical occasion, this farewell
For relations within the heart, no farewell

Sidha doctors will miss you, it’s for sure
Will miss your company and the antics pure
In you, we found our siblings, who took care
Boring life for us without you guys in here

Though for short time you guys very dear

Your bondage and comradeship, I do admire
Awesome the time we spent, brought us near
Midu was lucky, he enjoyed the atmosphere

Cherish the time spent with you, money can't buy
Enjoy the new place, we shall soon come by
Seems easy not, to leave you, to say goodbye
Though unwilling, for now, say tata bye bye

Sree...

Om!

Busy emulating practices of the world of west
Forgot our customs, culture, rich & varied past
The sophisticated west fail, then turn to the east
For all the worries there are solutions, the best

Decided to decipher the natural health technique
Traveled to the yoga university, so very unique
Tried out all of the postures with my physique
Designed to suit everyone, this science antique

Om the mantra, realize in you, all what you have
Start controlling self, mind master, body the slave
Feel goodness fill in you and the diseases leave
Mind rules, now worries trivial, all put to grave

The ways & means simple, but those do work
Releasing anxiety is key, rest walk in the park
Visualization at it’s best, then you on your mark
Instant not the results, patience yields the perk

Sree..,,

Stone Age to Phone Age

First act in the morning, search for the phone
Start touching it, just want to be with it alone
Rely on it for everything, thinking habit gone
Pay unnecessary attention, to each of it’s tone

Hunter gatherers, then started own cultivation 

Evolved art science, discoveries & inventions
Many civilizations, and the Industrial revolution
And, finally, we at the technological evolution

Initially all our tools were made out of stones
Later to kitty an addition was the animal bones
Kept  on adding and ensured our skills we hone
Present age the kitty has just a smart phones

Worry not, the health effects from its radiation
Impossible it seems, coming out of it’s addiction
Mobilithic,  the final stage of human evolution
Beyond this, existence seems out of imagination

Sree...,

The 🐈 Cat

Vacation time, back to the family house 
Night life, it’s voices, scared my spouse  

Heard some footsteps, my sleep it douse

A very energetic cat, chased on a mouse

Saw me and the cat moved to a nook

To scare it off, the good old tricks I took 

Fearless attitude of the cat, me it shook

My place, you leave, conveyed it’s look

Clueless I was, how to get rid of the cat? 

Cat declared war, responded “tit for tat”

Tried to scare me off, treated like a rat

Finally, ignored me, in all comfort it sat  

Accepted failure, went back to my sleep
It won a place in my heart, so very deep 

Woke, to see the cat, through door I peep 

Gone, left me with bold memories to keep 

Sree

Lost WORLD

Imminent the death, world will end for sure
Will it be in our lifetime?, shall we endure?
Whole life will diminish, will go, the allure
Certainly, close is the end, in the near future

No more global warming, it's rapid heating
East, west, the whole of Antarctica melting
No one knows the Ozone, we keep debating
Earthly assets, humans stop not, polluting

Fear not, the asteroids, Fear not, the comet
Forget sun's pull, and earth's electromagnet
Humans, will cause life on earth to plummet
You, me, we kill earth, our selfish mindset

Bothered not to protect, took all her wealth
Pure pristine was she, filled her with our filth
End around the corner, no tricks to unearth
Exist we won’t, all to sink with mother earth

Sree....

7 Habits

Enrolled myself in the training on seven habits
Later, to use this and firm up some gambits
Easy I thought, like magicians pull out rabbits
In reality, it’s tough to get out of our orbits

Trainer, a scholar, thought class won’t be fun
Walks in a man, in looks anyone he can outrun
Class between breaks, said he,did he intend pun?
These habits can be your weapon, need no gun

First being proactive, then end is the beginning
First things first, win win, emphatic listening
Creative cooperation and the art of self caring
All habits seven done, awesome  the training

Got here with an unclear mind, haze like snow
Can climb leadership ladder, now I’m  no minnow
To apply these seven habits I am equipped now
Above all, some amazing people I got to know

Sree....

Parental Concerns

Was sitting by the seashore, since I was free 

Lost in stunning sound of the Arabian Sea
Late night, pitch black, nothing I could see

Appears before me, in all black, ladies three

Frantically look for something these women
Followed closely by two young security men
Kids missing, said them, not a good omen
Not in here, not in the sea, said my acumen

Fathom not the pain, ideal not the situation
Inconsolable they were, heated up the tension
Message came in, kids safe, playing play station
Saw the kids and flowed in all their affection

Reminded me of my childhood days, this act
Then kid, never knew mom’s agony, it’s effect
Concerned parents, kids safety their prime aspect
Without kids the parents life seems imperfect

Sree... 

Bharat Ratna

Six times world champ, too good to emulate
Spot on boxer, punches strong and accurate
She for me the "Bharat Ratna", no any debate
To be born as her country men, we, fortunate

Born poor, support-less, never found any oasis
Strongly she overcame, every moments of crisis
Work hard and follow the dream, was her basis
Woman the stronger sex, a fact Mary emphasis

Naive and straight, came from a village, small
When life got tough, fighter in her stood tall
Fought all alone, with the back against a wall
Kept winning tournaments, surprised one & all.

Proved "age" is just a number, need no worry
Came back and fought with all power and fury
Young boxers can't fight her, "She" is a mystery
Mom of three, rightly called Magnificent Mary

Sree....

AGM _ Badminton club

Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcome to the Annual general meeting of our club ABC.

This is new to me. I have n't addressed a gathering for long. I did not get the opportunity to give the Acceptance speech as well, since I became the president as a stopgap arrangement as Asaad who was the original president moved to Dhahran. So this is my first and last official address as the president of the Abqaiq Badminton Club.

So I am prepared. I went into google and searched out presidential address. I got a few manuscripts of speeches given by Barrack Obama, which I thought is not enough, in no way it will suffice my requirement., believe me,his address did not had a single sentence on Badminton.One fine morning I sat around and coincised this myself, only criteria I had while writing this was I will not incorporate  any poetry into this, not even  a stanza, and afterwards,  I am putting this up on google as a service to the future searchers.

Well lets talk business, This year was okay in terms of the club activities, we were hit by the transfer of housing of our members. Many had moved out of ABQAIQ. Right now we have 36 members and the facilities, most of the year was available to all of these 36 members. Those four courts were available on all four days throughout the year and there was no shortage in supply of the shuttle cocks, courtesy Lim.Well we conducted sessions, on training the kids, but somehow the sessions stopped, but the training of the kids never stopped,we shall continue doing that.

We had conducted couple  of tournaments, one earlier in the year and one recently. Some of our guys went out to the external tournaments and won trophies: Chucks Milan and Madhur. Way to go guys.  Keep up doing the good work.Well we may have lost many of the members, but haven't lost the passion for the game. I urge all of you to come out to play regularly, because we are the only few lucky badminton enthusiasts in this world, who has such a facility at our disposal.The committee may change, the members may change but the passion will not. This game is here to stay.

All the best to each one of you. Enjoy the dinner

Thank you all for coming

Stiff Drive

How do you drive? All your limbs are stiff
Drive at this state, like jumping from a cliff
Though true, the query left me with a miff
Sarcasm in the question, I could really sniff

Worry not, the car takes care, I told my friend
Taught the car to obey all of my command
Switch it on and talk to it, till the journey end
My relation with the car, none can understand

Car ceases to act, when in me doubts hover
Is it the car or something else that takes over
Think, to move new ways I shall discover
Park a while, face reality, than run for cover

Heard a voice, " Sree get in, time to move"
A nice voice, the tone was of care and love
For sure, it was my car, but, I cannot prove
Jumped in to the car, miles and miles I drove

Sree....

Safety First

Safety relates to one's make up and culture
Wise men make safety a habit they nurture
Unsafe acts, one look childish & immature
Practice safety, grows the repute & stature

Drive extremely fast, act like won a grade
The consequences, not always one can evade
Valuable life is off, a minute of memory fade
Crashes are not accidents, its all man made

Carry on, none noticing, nothing will happen
Bypassing safety, act done easy & quiet often
One outcome, many spirits it may dampen
Performing work, shortcuts not to be taken

Stop a while and think, what is a life worth?
Precious life, safe living ways, need to unearth
Adhering to safety, ensure efforts see no dearth
Safety makes, much more beautiful our earth

Sree....
