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

Uncle for you

Preparing myself to meet him, took me a while

Unsure of his likes, dislikes, know not, his style 

Saw a simple man, gone are the thoughts volatile

Stood out was the aura and that awesome smile

Suddenly felt like family, a feel,"being loved"
Kids’ had  the vibes too, acted very disciplined
Protective grand father, seems cool and poised
From loving us uncle, never will you be retired

Possess an uncanny ability to stay quiet and calm
Blown away by your humility and the eternal charm
The moment you start talking feels overly warm
Your words remove our worries,act like a balm

Worked so very hard in life, now time to enjoy
Be with your grand kids and play with their toys
Savor all those moments, know the kids ploys 
Let all of your dreams come true, bring in joy

Sree....

Fast Life

Busy road, forced me drive in the slowest lane
Nice drive, felt relaxed and seemed more sane
Put me in new world, turned a boon this  bane
Much better this world, minimal the acts insane

Never seen before this world, though very near
Moving so fast in life, to switch the lanes I fear
Made me blind & deaf, I neither see nor hear
Speed never enough, increases year on year

Now watch all the fun, enjoy a stress free drive
Save money on traffic tickets, in me safety thrive
Maneuver easily, chances for road rage I deprive
Slow or fast, surprisingly at the same time I arrive

Fast all in here, tend to move along the stream
Prove myself no less, deep from heart I scream
For being a Roman in Rome, my limits I ream
Fast or slow, be yourself, secret to be the cream

Sree....

"HE"

Relation like ours, rare, not at all abundant
My "go to man", to help me, never reluctant
In my life, he plays a role, so very important
He very dear, brings in, an ambiance pleasant

Funny, but confident dive, and start drowning
Fathom one can't a dive, know not swimming
Always in action mode, and later start thinking
Resourceful guy, he around, need no bothering

A regular in  marathon, salute the dedication
Quiet often I try, to match his inner passion
Can't emulate, for he, a single piece of creation
Lucky me, born close, though in two generation

Spirits always up, works like, ''he'', a superman
Never holds back, before Rome, turns a Roman
Rely not on the brain, he forever, a heart man
Look through, one can see an awesome human

Sree....

Mind Game

Feels like hitting, when I see the cricket ball
Yorker, bouncer, short or wide, hit is my call
How to curb?, think it’s the reason for my fall
Cricketer’s doubt, laughed away by one & all

Why stop something productive?, joy it brings
Believe, hit it right, your way the game swings
Free the mind, ensure no preconceived idea rings
Fly high, sky is the limit, clip not, the wings

Cluttered mind, cultivates worries in excess
Expectations, memories, cause of all our stress
All of our instincts and belief, those suppress
Those ain't yardsticks, never self you compress

One is past, the other future, do not pay heed
Remove those, and see the path to succeed
Reality is present, apt act brings riches indeed
Clean thoughts, now the limits one will exceed

Sree....

God

Many Gods in here, can pick and choose
No any, create one, can be even a goose
Essence of God, one should never loose
Good old culture, "customs" not a noose

Billion Gods, convey divinity all around
Treating all like Gods, one remain ground
Silently practiced for ages, never a sound

The only civilization, without any bound  

Fold arms Namaste style, bow down a bit
Practicing humility tough, need to commit
Never be ashamed, let the ego take a hit
Traditions teach us some awesome habits

Indian, the only ancient culture still alive
Can't die, Gods in the midst, thy shall thrive
Blessed to be part of this cultural life we live
Take away is much more than you can give

Sree...

Humility

Knows nothing, pretend to be the master
No patience, in bits and pieces they muster
Ridiculously think: they the beings better
Know not, humility can make them glitter

"Old monkey take your tail out of my way"
"Too weak, do it for me", the monkey's say
Tail was too heavy, kept his strength at bay
Mighty Bhima was taught humility in a day

Someone arrives, just to show you your place
To correct you they are sent from the space
For its important for you to stay with grace
Humility brings in the much needed solace

Time and again, when one starts flying high
Achieve all wished for, see the pinnacle nigh
Can't touch the summit, come out only a sigh
Without humility, the only trait which weigh

Sree....
