MTF

GETs were we, all our seniors made us feel warm
Awesome was our team, created no fuss, no harm
Etched up in my mind those nights of false alarm
Memorable days at the Reliance Marine tank-farm

Youngsters were we, needed guidance to check in
Samir, Kailash, Prashant, Borah, Choxi & Maulin
Taught us the ways of operations, and how to fit in
Spared us from the hiccups, for they always jump in

Bhatji’s answers immediate, Don’t bother it’s false
Vyasji always had doubts, says it’s something else
Message first, faster than alarm Rupesh’s impulse
Mehul says, let’s take a break &increases my pulse

Naik, Joshi, Gupta, they were made for each other
At times  pleasant to ears, voice of SP, Kate, Kelker
Those moments, will I get back? quiet often wonder
Impossible to forget, MTF.. mera pehla pehla pyar...

It's all Money Honey...

The only life of ours', mostly wasted in search of money

Feels, there is nothing which cannot be bought by money

Leaves everything else and dear ones for earning money

Pauper, the person who just has nothing, but only money

Some borrow, spent, never bother to return the money 

Lives on credit, later trouble, can't pay back the money

EMIs, their life's part, the way banks take back money

Some never enjoy their work, they do it just for money

Straight, crooked, hard, have many ways to make money

Tax, too complicated, the way government makes money

Never learns from mistakes, repeat for the sake of money

Never realize everything in life isn't measured by money

Easily said than done, to live in here, one requires money

Make some, else your dear ones say, "honey, its all money

No right, no wrong, this world will do anything for money

The sin of Adam, else we in paradise, no need for money

Adorable Kids

Kids, awesome are the skills, master it in no time
Amazing their observations and learning regime
Surprise us now and then, by words and by mime
Gradually, they grow big to be your life's prime

Welcomes me back home with an adorable smile
To seek attention, the little lad goes an extra mile
Learns very fast, always shows off his guts, wguile
Spend time with him, a stress-free act worthwhile

Cannot teach a kid anything, they teach you instead
They, the god sent, to teach us the qualities we need
Test all your limits, your patience, and the cool head
Take many a lessons  from them, permit them to lead

Worried about their future, forget to see the present
Enjoy the moments we cannot, miss their act nascent
Set  criteria to bring them up, all of their life’s ascent
Stop, just let be, free thoughts lets them grow decent

Sree….

Heart Ball

Living life for some, football, the only reason
Their world different, have only two seasons
One football, and the other, the waiting season
For, they love the game, without any reason

The game made us slaves, with loads of passion
Fathom one cannot, the love and the impassion
Only think and talk football, on any occasion
And, treat the game with dignity, compassion

Played with the foot, but straight from the heart
Ultimate team work, unlike all the other sport
Team size millions, all play their respective part
Mission. hit on the bullseye, like throwing a dart

No winners, no losers, only the game prevail
All enmity, differences seems gone for a while
For this sport gives, respect, love unconditional
Enjoy it to the fullest, an exercise worthwhile

Sree......

The Filipino mafia

Presided over by their deadly don Jamiea
Transformed the office room into a bufia
Filled it with lot food, the Filippino mafia
The only piece missing: a charming Sofia

Bagged a sect of office, from there don act
Surviving here, with the mafia, be in a pact
Don's will you suffice,  you will be intact
Else you get no work and none will contact

Time

Feels like it is plenty, evanesces suddenly
Heals all your pains, just be with it lonely
Stock it, one cannot, even if tried prudently
Time never waits, grab it, spend it wisely

In the childhood, it was much more slower
Once into the thick of things, became faster
At one point no control, the time takes over
Wait, until it is back, for you to win it over

Mind your actions, good or bad for the fame
Captures all deeds, nothing beyond the time
Ultimately reveals truth, culprits put to blame
Finally takes you, like the flies taken by flame

Enjoy radiance of happiness, in it you relish
Carry on the memories, for you to later cherish
One day it stops,  no matter what you furnish
Spend it with your loved ones, until you perish

June nostalgia

June brings in, nostalgic thoughts very cool 

Restart of the rains,  reopening of the schools

Natural were those, the rain made water pools

Jumping in and out of rains, we acted like fools

The first day of rains, pouring from the skies

The first school day, tears flowing from the eyes

Just sweet memories those, fastly the time flies

Etched inside, lovely past, can't say goodbyes

With an umbrella to fend off the rainy showers

Run to school through fields, plains & rivers

To reach on time we race with all our powers

The thought of teacher's cane sends in shivers

Beautiful were those, the golden old days'

Life was lived very simply, no crooked ways

A look again at the world through the child’s eyes
May bring back again those awesome old days

Sree....

In Kerala, my land, the school reopens on June 1 every year
and that is exactly when the rain arrives.
