Communist I was!

My friends were religious
I was trained to be athiest
never believed in rituals
because communist I was!

Beef and pork my favorite
liquor I could not avoid
could not follow my friends
because communist I was!

Hartal the way to protest
just mind the causes
never mind the losses
because communist I was!

Know not, what it stood for,
Never sought its agenda,
Never understood the strategy
because communist I was!

Language

Bless you”, I said hearing her sneeze

Beautiful smile, she with me in ease

Pretty her lips, it said “sorry I no ingliz

” Google translate, “I now speak turkiz”

Languages plenty in the human world

The way conveyed the meaning It holds 

Body ‘s language says than what is told 

Silence good tactic language to behold

Unite or divide, play a part the language 

Common ensure we on the same page 

Carved out countries, from the old age 

Now technology put all out of the cage 

Learn not anymore, a language foreign

Done by software, smartphones reign

No more a barrier, not a weakness sign

Need no software, when hearts align

Sree....

Education

Real world a wonder, when I ponder
Educate me, love flying off yonder
Virtual the world I used to wander
You are right my dad, I now surrender

Spent with gadgets, waste those years
Playstation and Xbox were my dears
You got those for me, forced my tears
the only aim was to better my peers

None could beat the points I garnered
Felt like a queen, felt I was empowered
But, virtual was that world I wandered
You were right dad, I now surrendered

Time wasted gone now, wish it reverse
Vast, unknown this world, this universe
Explore unknown, self I shall immerse
Embrace studies, the gadgets I disperse

Want to be great, make others wonder
No limits I know, knowledge can render
In the world virtual, I shall not wander
You are right daddy, I now surrender

Sree....

My Alma Mater: GECT

Take whatever, never shall I bargain

Back there with my mates once again

The best four years, etched in my brain

No retakes in life, realize with lot pain

Taught the life lessons, prior take off

& some engineering, for us to show off
Played it's part in making us well off
Our Alma mater, for you all hat's off

Spread across globe, your offsprings
Any place on earth, meet our siblings
Get to know each other, joy it brings
Hold us tight, your emotional strings

Made us, much more than an engineer
Amazing friendships, your gifts clever
Feel proud, GECT, our Alma mater
Cherish those days with you forever

We

Me me me, all the time
All else are less sublime
"You" the one to blame
You are to hold my flame

Self centric, need a cure
Others feats, feel insecure
No takers - selfish nature
Throw it out, one mature

Me myself, I am none
You yourself, no any fun
Fun comes if we are one
After your heart I won

We", makes our life easy
Work for other, we busy
Achieve more like crazy
Now life good, less fussy

Sree....

First love

The first love of my life, I can never forget
Love never conveyed, kept in my closet
Too late my actions, "she", I did not get
Focus not timely, I missed my target

Boring life I lived, with lot self-control
If am a child again, in her school I enroll
Conceal not my love, even if I fight all
Convey my feel, with her I rock n roll

Her looks; oh my god, I can't withstand
Now, stop not myself, shall hold her hand
And my feelings I make her understand
Err again I shall not, wait not till the end

Take her care, like she is all that I possess
Fill her beautiful mouth with lots of kisses
Shall take on to myself, all of her cusses
Let her not alone, to the death's clutches

Sree....

Oh God!

Oh my God!, our favorite this phrase

Instill it inside, and never ever erase

Does God exist? query a genuine case

Life ends up, no success in the chase

Interesting  one "half on us, half on God"

Our half  undone, split again with God
Believe or not, plenty, phrases on God

God only knows, how many - on God

How does God look? I often wonder
Human-like? what is  God’s gender?
Parents, Teachers, answer some render
Parent I am, couldn't agree when I ponder

God supreme, the savior in stories horror
Sight godliness even in the group of terror
Foolproof the creations, not a single error
God in self, to see, look beyond a mirror

The Witch

Petrifying darkness, lonely walk at the midnight
Grew scary thoughts in me, with all of it’s might

But for whistling wind, silence add to my plight
Secretly kept a golden cross, held on to it tight

Stood there with a smile, so attractive her face
Wasn't wearing white, but grew my heart's pace
Started a chat with her, subject skills- me an ace
Slowly she took charge, stop giving me space

Pity my state, my only fault, considered her "elf"
Soon me in her clutches, able not to move myself
Took home, said not a word, put me in her shelf
I was just an instrument for showing off her pelf

Years later, out at the midnight, for a lonely walk
Stood there with a very ugly face, said, "let's talk"
The ace in me died by now, no more ideas I chalk
Showed her the cross, and away from her I walk

Sree...

Halloween special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living Kingdom

Born an Amoeba, cheerfully living my life

Protista kingdom, none of us have any strife
At will, we change our shape, feel not unsafe
Silly organisms, but can orchestrate a strafe

We single celled, second in animal kingdom
Like us bacteria, but those lads lack wisdom
Monera their family, all of their acts random
Organisms micro, normal eyes see us seldom

Multi cellular, complex, kingdoms next three
Plants synthesis their food, others find it free
Fungi, plants animals, come with a pedigree
Animals rule the world, to them rest all agree

All here on a purpose- realize, won't be told
Live life the fullest, never self you withhold
Unknown, very amazing, is this lively world
Each of us see a unique, but a pretty world

Sree.....

Assalamu Alaikkum

Expire the resident permit to stay 

Read the SMS I got today 

Feel like, I renewed it yesterday 

So soon a year passed away

Realized  soon after I step in 

Life easy not, like the "walk in"

But somehow here I stuck in 

To receive wishes on LinkedIn 

Boss’s advice, get the license

Take it, fill life with effervescence

Later got to know it’s essence 

Without it, life here make no sense, 

Joined in here amidst lot dilemma 

Six years, got used to the Aroma

Shall enjoy this part of life's drama

Till finally I say Maa Salama

Genius

Up before sun, in came a smile

Felt not so fresh, not in a while

Challenged myself to jog a mile

Forgot at home my own mobile

Sunlight brings in a fresh new day
Colourful sky, an amazing display
Dawn, lot on offer, no heed we pay
Notice none, act like made of clay

Human life lived in a peculiar way,
All glued to phone, don’t look away
Lord, let me live without one, I pray

Thank god,  I left it at home, today

When back, sense a mood volatile

Who is this lady on your mobile?

Wife's query, hit me like a missile

A dear friend, my voice go fragile

Sree...

The Pond

Believe one can not, jumps we undertook
Scary the height, down we dare not look

Dive down thirty feet, our elders it shook
We kids in the pond's, all corner and nook

Naturally formed, pool's make very simple
Open to all, though linked to nearby temple  
Great relief, for waterless common people
For kids, it looked an ocean, with fun ample

Energetic kids, born in pond all our acts prank
Stood  an old banyan tree right on its bank
Climb up the tree, jump in pond', in an eye-blink
Pond- kid's club, remain in it, till all turn pink

Wish to be in that pond again, wish retakes
To be in there and commit the same mistakes
Run towards the pond, stamping the dung cakes
And again swim with those fishes and snakes

Sree....

MANGO Tree

Fed delicacies, made me feel at home,
Pampered me, loved me like my mom
To be in her lap anytime I was welcome
Unconditional love, she perfect epitome

Speak not, conveyed a lot her silence
I quietly looked on the act of violence
Mercilessly cut down prevail no sense
Need space for our brand new residence

Treated son, opened for me her wardrobe
Bringing her down, felt like heard a sob
Practical I was, carried on with the job
Sin committed, but still me a heartthrob

Born human, live selfish, live care free
Waste earth's resources, human's living spree
Our actions alter ecosystem, we disagree
Trees made paper to write on it "save tree"

Slayers the humans, thankless being
All their motives aim at money making 
Relations at bay, who cares? busy living
Stop, act sensibly for the race's well being
                               
Sree....

 Mango tree is about the mango tree stood there right in my backyard.

The tree used to be my home. I had made a place for myself in one of its branches and it was the most comfortable place I was in. I loved and respected the tree and the tree returned back my love, but there was a difference. I loved it conditionally and the tree loved me unconditionally....

Here is the poem Mango Tree...

Past Perfect

Thank GOD, I was born in the late seventies, lucky enough to see the world progressing along with us. Our childhood was awesome. We experienced life without technology and with technology

Solitarily watched the moon, the star
The twinkle and the joy nothing at par
Lightning thunder, clouds were at war
Lived on the milky way, never was it far

Fresher mornings, no chaos no clutter
Respectable were the words we utter
Life simple, no much fuss nor glitter
All were taught, to be humans better

All our "lies" had innocence and charm
The neighbors' invites were more warm
Our parents remained poised and calm
Future more clearer, right on our palm

Vanished forever, rabbit on the moon
The flora, the fauna to follow it soon
Twinkle and joy now from the cartoon
We busy in search of the silver spoon

Sree....

Shepherd

Shepherded village cattle, in woods I stray
The cattle followed, grazed the whole day
Gentle breeze, fell asleep, in comfort I lay
Return I couldn't, lost at dusk, left far away

Darkness, petrified even the slightest sound
Lost in deep woods, way back never found
Turned menacing, our familiar playground
Frightening, the absence of light all around

Village a yard away, lost- stranded I stood
Beautiful, the pond, river, trees & the woods
Fifteen cattles, care fifty beings livelihood
Penniless, loved each other, all liked it good

Rooster's call, woke up with the only star
Light rendered, the whole village at an altar
Hugs, kisses, seek all attention, neglect the star
Unconditional love, emotions- the mortar

Spared none the forest, the belief- I crack
Cradle of motherland, safe all of its tracks
Shepherded cattle, they knew the way back
Leader sleep not, for yet another day I pack

Sree....

About my village and its people. I was born in a very remote village and even to this day it remains so. My beloved wife who was born and brought up in a city cannot sleep when she is at my village home, because she is not fond of the lullabies by the Crickets.

The only development in the village those days were the state highway which ran across the village and the forest. There were 15 houses and 50 people in the village.and our livelihood was from some crops and some cattle. All of us were well connected in such a way that, if somebody fall sick it was the worry of the entire village and the rest 49 were ready to do any sacrifice to bring back normalcy. We kids never knew our religion, we only knew that for some festivals we should eat from some houses and for another from some other houses and for some celebrations food is served by us.

So  it was our duty to take care of the cattle, so we used to take turns in taking the cattle for grazing to the forest and brought it back. The forest was with its on danger. People used to sight Leopards, wolves and foxes. So there was a standing instruction to whoever shepherded the cattle to bring back the cattle by 04: 00 PM. That day it was my turn

Nameless Bother

Alluring gardens, lush green fields
Flaunting the beauty flowers yield
Stood there in sun, a tree her bield
Held a cloth across, her sun shield

Small shiny eyes, pretty bluish pair
Beautiful face, smooth and silky hair
All attracted to her glow, like flies to fire
She adorned an attitude “I don’t care”

Control not sight, the whole day long
Her voice so sweet, a melodious song
In me a fondness; nothing wrong
Forgot purpose, the space I belong

       Switch off nerves, aptly self-assure   

Seizure in just an instant of  leisure

Forgo the faith for flash of pleasure

Feel from inside -"a minute" fissure

 

Visible not the connect the crave
Feeling her in the wind, the wave
A nameless  bother till the grave
The earthly strife, for later we save

Sree….

Immortal

Wished me Immortality, out of his blind love

Special qualification, for it we all secretly crave

Die to live in many hearts, virtue much above

Can't be gifted, one's lifetime deeds do achieve

Some immortal  beings, to forget them we strive
Thoughts on their lifetime deeds, crazy it drive

They immortal, the insane acts made them thrive
Though hatred, in all of our minds they still alive

Hitler, Caligula, many more such men and women
Corrupts, the acts named after these specimen
They different, those ladies, not so gentle men

Why pay extra attention? questions my acumen

Some other immortal beings, the epitome of love
Gandhiji, Mandela, many more brought white dove
Inspire their lives, from our hearts none can remove
Never will fade away, forever in us they shall live

Sree....

Sweetheart

Driving fast in the morning just for fun
Jumped the traffic light noticed by none
Got a ticket, hit a car, the thrill now gone
Yet the morning special, an awesome one

Enroute for medical, stalled heavy traffic
Heart to be scanned for conclusions logic
Finally made it on time, no actions panic
"Sweet heart" her call acted as the tonic

Darling, she said, your heart beats high
Need to bring it down, her words with a sigh
Took the pill she gave, the value now nigh
Relieved I was, in came from me a sigh

Started the scan of my heart the sweetheart
She said follow my instructions be smart
Obeyed her, till pulled out by machine’s cart
Opened eyes, saw a man, gone the sweetheart

Sree....

Re Birth

Rose from my body, in me nothing earthly remain
Up I go, wander above the lush green mountain
The accumulated virtues in me, I still maintain
Earned nothing from earth, those the only gain

Adamantly lived my life, nothing really proven
My journey started, no clue to hell or to heaven
Lived it better, could I?, took my life as a given
Come on hell with it, the attitude am still driven

Is this heaven? I wondered, the final destination
Neither hell nor heaven, it was a combination
The place- very different from my imagination
Got to choose, decide from the demonstration

Soon given a fresh new body, I was sent back
Fresh thoughts in me, the old memories I track
But how to? I know not, the language they talk
Was a different planet, the life's enigma I crack

Thought of telling them, life exists elsewhere
My kid talk conveyed nothing, none can decipher
Thought my memories faded away year on year
Talk now proper, my old life I don't remember

Sree....

The inner kid

Need to be more serious, like a grown up
Kill the kid in me? keep away the smile
Task extremely difficult,on a look close up
Living seriously, an act not worth while

Child stays just in the nook of my heart
Keeps me lively and fresh, joy it brings
Imaginations, fantasies, now life's part
Makes me happy, even small little things

The inner child purely makes me what I am
Without the kid, existance no more a fun
Made me very restless, can not remain calm
Boring life, excites me nothing under the sun

The way we are made, take it on the stride
Focus and perform, the purpose of your life
Achieve, prove everyone wrong, take pride
Immensely value the outcome of all your strife

Sree....

I don't know

Reluctant to use, learning now an all time low

Aptly use it, stop not the knowledge flow" 

Always use it, the ego takes very big blow
Awesome this magic phrase "I don't know

Being frank alright, doesn't make one weak
Never presume and turn self in to a geek
Best is to be honest, admit, help you seek
Life simple, this phrase can take one to peak

Use it diplomatically when surging ahead
Try deciphering self, ask questions instead
Turns more clearer, hold on to the thread
Still unclear, never panic, keep a cool head

Why stop self in using this? why complicate ?
Say I don't know, if know not, never hesitate
Communication issues, one can easily eliminate
Magic phrase in use, clear- the mind's state

Sree....

Differently Unique

My thoughts different from all others

My appearance pleasing, none like me

Rare to find one with my mannerisms  

Like me find not anyone, I am unique

My friend funny, I find none better
Certain things about him, truly special
My go to man in crisis, he very dear
Find not anyone like him, he unique

My parents, siblings spouse and kids
Can't ask for better than what I got
Awesome people, they one of its kind
Fit in my scheme with qualities unique

Look around, none similar, all discrete
World a place with differences unique
Still feel like saying from top of my voice
I am unique, just like everybody else

Sree....

Life After Me

Worrisome the thought on his kids and wife
With out him, can they get on with life?

What shall he do to reduce their strife?
After him, world for them, risky, unsafe

My friend’s view, I disagree, can never give in

Earth dangerous? perception didn't sink in
For me, it's the most beautiful place to be in
And the only place where one can live in

Worry not the future on the current trend
Your world ends with you my dear friend
After you, it's floods then nothing but the end
True for you, nature's rule hard to amend

Friend, best thing  to do now is being selfish
Know and love self, life in you- never relinquish
Ensure flame in you, none can easily extinguish
For sure, worry free life you shall accomplish.

Sree....

Fast food

Met her at joint for fast food, love at first sight,
Thoughts on her, kept him awake all the night
His life with her, their future looked very bright
Conveyed his love for her, she said it’s alright

Married life took off, tasty not, now fast food
Indigestion crept in, the food not cooked good 
Haste decisions, goes wrong, in all likelihood
Later think, decision to be taken in light mood

Disappointed, the food never let both live right
Decided to call it quits, divorced at first fight
Both blame it on the food, with all their might
Taste remains till the mouth, never hold it tight

It’s called junk for some reason, the fast food
Lacks  nutrition, for consumption it’s no good
Now plenty of joints thrive in the neighborhood
What is put in comes out, a fact misunderstood
Sree....

Divinity Rules

Earth, solar system's most beloved child
Listen, hear her bleeps, very slow and mild

The planet, lively, pristine, but a bit wild

Observe her aura, an amazing shiny gild

She passionately created the living entity
Humans she love, impressive their ability
Takes over, when they show off audacity
Suffice them with top lessons on humility

Wiped of the dinosaurs, creatures gigantic
Airplanes vanished, capture not even a pic
In no time took away non-sinkable Titanic
Reigning supreme, her way, need not panic

Humans know not, the mysteries of earth
Bermuda Triangle an enigma yet to unearth
Is Marianna deepest trench? a query worth
Reluctantly admit their knowledge’s dearth

She mind not, forget it like her completed spun
Forgive, move on, let her darlings have all fun
Knows when to, else the discipline act she shun
She the only one with life, in the family of sun

Sree....

Plan

Do you have a plan? my manager's query
Yes, to  go with the flow, I replied in a hurry
What?, with the flow, it's a cause of worry
Not at all, plan being flexible, it's a luxury

Some has plan A & B, for sure plan A fail
Some plan more, confused from head to tail
Assumptions to plan, has potential to derail
Some plan not, only option for them, to fail

Challenges come across, plan should adapt
Strategies keep evolving, accordingly adopt
Adjust your plan, execute, record it prompt
Flexibility in plan, exercise one should opt

How good is the plan to go with the flow?
If it works out, then in admiration you glow
But, if did not, feeling as if got a facial blow
Plan worth doing, else you learn a bit slow

Sree....

One Rupee Coin

One rupee coin, meant a lot in my childhood
Possess some, all behave with you very good
Give away, you famous in the neighborhood
And, treated like the super star of Hollywood

Rupee, those days a lot of joy it could impart 
Many things it could fetch, even fill your cart
Give it to needy, lasting relations it could start
Offer it to God,  awesome feeling in the heart

Rupee coin changed a lot over a time period
Smaller, now just the size of an app in android
Fading away from our memory & pics in tabloid
No more coins in our pockets, created a void

Piggy banks, collected  coins in it, like a bee
Life not at all easy, declined value of  the rupee
Soon living costly, with a coin, one can just pee
Rupee coins available not any, nowhere to see

Sree....

Ladies' Rule

Bitten by a spider, I became a spider man
Built a web, no prey, but got a spider woman
Instantly conveyed my love, for this pretty woman
Soon we family, have powers super human

She in charge, consent I gave, she very dear
Ultimate love of my life, to say “NO” I fear
On top of normal dress, I have an underwear
Her fashion sense designed the way I appear

Am a hero, was it my deeds or was it the suit ?
In the costume one looks smart and super fit
Great color combination, not dull even a bit
Her sense awesome, costume a global super hit  

Human or super human, its the ladies who rule
The ladies are always right, men simply drool
Resist it, life miserable, one looks like a fool
Accept it and get on, now live a life super cool

Sree....

Priorities...

With whom shall I fight, my heart or brain

Anything I chose, end up without any gain 

Can’t take anymore, this agony, and the pain 

Compromise I can’t, want both, no bargain

Dilemma ceased, attention shifts to a fracture
Can't move, my left foot sealed with plaster
Fight not, get on with life, a resolution mature
Love all and find living life, simple in nature

Funny this living, momentary priorities matter
Start focusing on it, suddenly the priority alter
Priority bothers, rest all postpone to a time later
Now set new one, the one which now matter

Desires set as priorities and to them you bow
Live doing "the one thing" really needed now
Whatever, do it with a full heart, do it with love
Prioritize love, feel the bliss of being in love

Sree....

Midlifers & Teenagers

Midlifers, most similar beings to the teenagers
Body and mind act different, as if total strangers

Both stranded in between, like the mighty ligers
Teens misjudged, misinterpreted, so are midlifers

Youth getting in, an adult trapped in the kid's body
Keen not in doing anything, always remain moody
Bother not surroundings, imitate, perform parody
Physical changes more evident in the frontal body

Youthfulness leaving the body, to admit it one fear
Mood swings, obsessed with the way one appear
Act like teens, even changes the dress one wear
Most of the bodily changes now shifts to the rear

Similar beings, to give each other space, they fail
Together the parents, children  through these sail
Though many, the differences in them they curtail
Both forgive  and amicably live to tell many a tale

Sree...

To sis with luv

Seems like we far apart, though very near
Love you a lot sister, but the silence I fear
We both share same parents, why not "tear"?
Let not the gap grow, for me you very dear

Words express not all, but can break the ice
I need you talk, love to hear that sweet voice
Think, act your own,  don't take my advice
Remember, our relation, good Lord's choice

Fights, fun acts we share, inspiration I gain
Without it my dear, life easy not to maintain
Missing all those these days, brings in lot pain
Wish to live with you, our childhood once again

All life tricks we learned looking at each other
Come on lets redo the Tom and Jerry together
Like them let's try knocking down one another
We sent from heaven to live this life together

Sree....

Brave SiblingS!

Head held very high, no any fear in my mind
Enjoy life to the fullest, just chill and unwind
The thoughts about dear ones, I leave behind
For I know, protect us an army, one of its kind

Sacrifice  life for country, pleasure it brings
Selflessly live, die for us, you the super beings
You make us proud, carry us on your wings
Salute you! Indian forces, our brave siblings!

Army navy airforce, same goal, same intention

Stand out the discipline courage and dedication

All the services rendered are with lot of passion
Nothing even close to the love for our nation

Stands tall even against chilled Himalayan wind
With you it’s  India, gone Punjab gujarat marat Sind
Your deeds induce patriotism in body and mind
Cheers right from our hearts, Jai Hind, Jai Hind

Sree,,,,

True love

“ God!, give me this beauty, let me feel heaven 

Love to share with her, the joy of minutes eleven

Wish I wake up besides her, all week days seven “ 

My prayers answered, started life on a note even 

When near, the differences, started to uncover 

In front of others, the anomalies we tried to cover 

Were not made for each other, soon we discover 

Did come across our minds, declare its all over “ 

Impatient were we, expected a lot from the other

Only taking was our motto, giving never a bother 

Scene changed, when became father and mother 

God’s way of telling us to build the life together 

Friend, can’t live this life without you, fact proven

Indeed you made for me, bond made in heaven 

Lucky me, wake up beside you on all days seven

For sure, will be yours forever, in the afterlife even 

Sree.... 

Explosive Chemicals

Feels like yesterday, gone years twenty 

Four best years, gifted us memories plenty 

To all else we grew, now uncle and aunty

 With you return the youth, it’s a guaranty

Achieve success in life, lof skills to gather 

GEC, ta place you shall go, said my father

Glad, I saw many like me flocked together

Soon, friends, we born to be with each other 

MH, LH, Nisha, Vapicha we made our hubs 

Many MH rooms soon the day scholar pubs 

Cocktails we made, drunk, used the puke tubs 

College life made us grow, we were mere cubs

Forty-four boys, six girls a skewed sex ratio

Many affairs, nothing took off from the patio 

Fistfights, some even required  therapy- physio 

Addicted, think not beyond GEC in any scenario

Visit Viyyur toddy shop, in-class none vertical 

All wrote us off, no good in theory or practical

Lived in own world, the period for us historical 

Change not, same remain the explosive chemicals

Sree.... 

Once upon a time

The rain rain came back again

Childhood enacted once again

Sing it now for little son's gain

Good old memories we regain

Johnny didn't stop eating sugar

Mouse still is under queen's chair

Jack and Jill, till date together

Exist not, without each other

Kept falling the humpty dumpty

But, they don't keep the wall empty

Age matter not, twenty or fifty

Still with them, is our empathy

Ba ba blacksheep & the little star

Nothing in life, came this par

Keep wondering, what we are

For your little one, you, "a star"

Sree....

OM NAMASSIVAYAH (Bow to inner self)

Hopeless I was not, believed there was a way

Boldly took it head-on, never win running away

Met him at dawn, his aura, from it essences relay 

Then began, the rest of my life's, very first day 

Said he, “Eat not lifeless, take offerings alive

Resort with self regularly, rest just a long drive”  

Make out I could not, though very hard I strive,

Eat living things? their flesh and blood I thrive?

Felt feather-like, I was blown away by a wind

Hungry I was, craved for food, made me blind

Flesh offered, lifeless, with dissent, said my mind

Was looking for food of a very different kind  

Closed my eyes, feels free fall down a mountain 

Reached a garden, fed by a live water fountain

Fruits, vegetables, leaves, seeds, life it contains

Divinity waiting to be in, take, never complain

Fathom not thy deeds, thy words, so profound

Infinite thy creations, each continue to astound

Search not, divinity is in within, and all around

Bow down to the inner self, go one step beyond 

Sree

Happiness

Need efforts to make my teen sons happy
More efforts to make my lovely wife happy
Further more efforts to make myself happy
My small kid requires nothing to be happy

What is it being happy, Some even forget

Cannot plan for the feel, or assign a budget
Neither can it be downloaded to a gadget
Felt from within, always money can't get

Happiness, art mastered by minds innocent

Loose it when start acts with no involvement
Transparency no more, all turning translucent
Happiness remain not, even a single percent

Act- think like a kid, now feel the enjoyment

Find joy in small little things, live the moment
Let not any slip away, leave no room to lament
Life is nothing but addition of all the moments

Sree.... 

Life

Set to meet project deadline, with all our might
Stressed out thinking, through the day and night
Time run out, work expand, miserable- our plight
Kept saying each other, everything will be alright

Seems very difficult, living life, loads of tension
Always the project alive in us, name it dedication
Efficiency of mind and body drop, work emotion
Finally available not, miss out on the celebration

Repetitive and boring this life, without essence
Changed a bit, living it with lot of effervescence
Doing what one enjoy doing, makes more sense
Passion replaces stress, life in a nice ambiance

Soon realize, live life gently as per one's dream
Follow exactly the rhyme, we all sung with a beam
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream"

Hartal : It's too much!

Our train was approaching the first station in Kerala
Relaxed was the travel, playing cards, drinking cola
In came brother's call, "shall pick you in my Impala,
it's hartal, to bring you here shall decipher a formula"

Well aware of "Hartal", still searched the Wikipedia
Massive protest, these days live in every social media
Kerala link in related "See also" section of cyclopedia
Practice it and act like, the losses -we have no idea

Hartal keeps vehicles out of road, pollution it checks
Fast & junk food available not, even if you have bucks
Kids get holiday, a sigh of relief, much needed pecks
Once in a while alright this practice, too much of it sucks

Gandhiji introduced this to protest in a peaceful way
Never did he fathom, the country's progress it delay
Kerala is very active, in three days one is a hartal day
Production losses, none bothers, like a child we play

Blindfolded we are, all our actions have excuses lame
Though aware, ridiculously fall for the political  game
Our own this dubious distinction, no one else to blame
Most educated society in this country, what a shame?

Sree....

God Willing

The connection flight took off before we land
Airlines bothered not, our plight, their brand
God willing, shall board you, do not demand
Happens when it happens, in this land of sand

Not sure of the outcome, one say "God willing"
Left it on God, one can relax while working
Sure of the outcome, then say "God willing"
Again left on God, one work while relaxing

Half on me half on God, it used to be before
Now our half God willing, increased thy share
Even the left out portion, we really don't care
Laziness infected us, follow like a nightmare

God willing, to overcome this, how to find way?
God willing, we shall soon find it out some day 
God willing, our laziness, we shall put to bay
God willing we shall be back to normal one day.

Sree ....

Resolution

Back at the same place, the earth & my resolution
Me stalled at the start, without a path or a solution
Earth did not stop, completed one more revolution
A glorious year, life continuing with it’s evolution

Shed no tear, will keep my smile, even if put to pain
Resolution done, wrote on a paper simple and plain
Came old friend, and tears, “emotions” can’t explain
Day one the resolution modified, started fresh again

Special terms, conditions, of resolution now written
Made it more flexible, need not correct quite often
Still this tough to achieve, my faith in me, it threaten
So day two, change it said my mind, I simply listen

Why take resolutions?, Why put ourselves to stress?
Without resolutions and goals- life seems meaningless
Set goal to stay happy, everything else, simply useless
Happy you are, get to see, infectious- this happiness

Sree....
