1. Vote.

those who want a Vote
might offer us a Note

that may last a day
or may be just float

One needs an opportunity
that helps to sail the life-boat

they may pump a little blood
and eventually cut the throat

so I got to choose whether
I wanna be a Lion or a Goat

hence lets take the right step
and make best use of Ballot

1. Valentine.

This morning as I faced the mirror, dunno what happened but I suddenly said to myself - I love you and the chain of thoughts started popping up - I love this existence, I love this unknown energy that is keeping this body up and running, I love the surroundings I dwell in, I love the comforts I enjoy, I love the luxuries that I relish, I love being loved, I love to see people around me loving me, Everyone in my life loves me persistently wherein most of the times I don't deserve to be loved, All I want to say that I love everyone in my life although since I am incomplete, a lot of the times I have strings attached and conditions applied. Each and every moment is filled with a lot of love and existence of millions of living beings and non-living things. However, I am so very submerged in pampering my own self that I easily manage to overlook the love, blessings and prayers happening towards me. On this day, I take this opportunity to shout that no caveats, no strings, no t&c in any of my realizations today..I love you all, I love you...
Sabka Mangal Ho, Sabka Kalyan Ho, Tera Mangal Ho, Tera Kalyan Ho, Mera Mangal Ho, Mera Kalyan Ho...

2. Astitva.

Sar par sawaar rehta hai toofaan,
khichta hun logo ka apni orr dhyaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Jo main rehtaa hun sadaa gumaan me!

Vyast rehta hun sajaane me Gulistaan,
Ghar, pariwaar ka maano hun main Sultaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Kaun jaanta hai mujhe 1 meel dur ke makaan me!

Vyavasaay me khud ko maanta hun mahaan,
Karta hun wo, jo kehti hai meri jubaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Nahi Aukaad, Sambhal saku zara se Nuksaan me!

Furti aur Tandurusti ka deta hun gyaan,
Swastha sharir, mann se banta hai majboot insaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Pheeka pad jaata hun halkse se jukaam me!

Kehta hun, Zindadili hi hai apni shaan,
mere dil me bastaa hai ek dayvaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Jab hichkichahat hoti hai 2 paise ke daan me!

'Main Chota aadmi' aisa karta hun bayaan,
Par chahta hun, duniya gaaye mere gun-gaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Kaha hai gun, dosh se bhare is shaitaan me?

Main nahi karu, to nahi hoga falaana kaam,
meri mehnat se, khush hai naukar aur khaandaan...
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
mere jaane ke baad bhi, kategi zindagi sabki aaram me!

Hai mujhme taakat, daal du murde me jaan,
koi apni hasti mitaa naa sakey, aisa mila hai vardaan...
Arre Murkh!! Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me,
Ek din jal jaana hai Mujhe Smashaan me!
ya Dafan ho jaana hai paas ke Kabrastaan me!
Kya astitva hai mera is jahaan me...

1. 2014.

Prabhu no nirdesh,
Guru no updesh,
Tyaag raag dwesh,
Kashay na kar lesh,
Chhod moh klesh,
Nahi pachi kai shesh,
Hoy koi jaati vesh,
Ke pachi koi desh,
Chadhavi aagna jinesh,
Nav varsh ma pravesh

Mangal may hojo 2014
2013 thi pan vishesh.

3. Monk.

A Washerman once visited his regular place to wash the clothes and was a bit surprised to discover that the rock that he uses for washing clothes is occupied by a Monk who was busy meditating.

He did wait for a while with an intention of not disturbing the Monk.

Since his patience didn't pay him for a long while, he approached the Monk and whispered in his ears. There was no response from the Monk's end as if he was transcended to another world. Washerman was in a dilemmatic situation.

He decided to tap the Monk's shoulder thereby requesting him to move. As soon as he performed his act, Monk felt the push and he was furious to learn that he has been disturbed by a Washerman who was a pretty downtrodden being in his perception.

With a feeling of vengeance, Monk pushed the Washerman and the combat was flagged off.

After an exchange of few punches, when both were tired Monk suddenly started praying hard to God seeking his help.

When God appeared, Monk started grumbling by questioning God's presence in a critical situation faced by someone who is persistently devoted to the Almighty.

God replied - "I was here since long, however looking at the situation it was hard for me to figure out - Who is the Monk and Who is the Washerman?"

-Adapted from a Book.

2. Perceive.

As I was witnessing my face in the mirror, I could notice some dust and I assumed that may be my glasses aren't clean. I cleaned my glasses and took another look. Nothing changed. Thrice and same result.
Eureka! the dust was on the mirror.

So many times it happens that my perspective of looking at people, place or things makes me draw a conclusion which is totally based on how I perceive the same. However, that may not be the fact and yes, most of the times it is not.

What a loss I incur for myself!
