In-between

In-between 

You get, what you lose and losing is a gain,
you expect, what you don't get and fret in pain!

Longing and craving to increase thy might,
constraining your vision and losing your sight.

To prove something in this frantic race,
There is a way to grow but in grace.

No heart, no sight, still you strive to survive
Cooped in your own crowded, tiny bee hive!

Between pleasure and pain,

In-between what is that you gain?

Nirbhaya - the fearless one

Dedicated to Nirbhaya – The fearless one 

Lovely and alluring like a butterfly,

Quiet early you learnt how to fly.

You face the horror of indecent society

Never did you fall, you fought patriarchy. 

Men became beasts, they raped and mauled,

  But you stood there strong, fighting them all.

You ignited a light…and then sigh!

Of women’ rights that will never die 

Fearless fighter you were, fearless you shall be,

Our hope and faith looks up to thee. 

May you Rest In Peace

Cute little girl

A Cute Little Girl 

A cute little girl peeping out of from behind,

A young-old woman secretly watching 

Cute little eyes, wide open, finding new things in the old new world,

Young-old eyes tired and sad, with the same old world.

Cute little eyes, beautiful, filled with fresh anecdotes,

Young-old eyes, ugly, hiding past experiences. 

Cute little eyes, cherishing moments,

Young-old eyes, counting memories. 

Cute little eyes, a call of life

Young-old eyes, stagnating death.

Cute little eyes, looking at the brighter side, 

Young-old eyes, lost in the dark alleys in sight. 

Art of War

My take on Sun Tzu’s Art of War

Avoid pitched battle    

Military action is important

Win by intelligence, not force

Formlessness is very effective

Dispirit your opponents if need be

Always keep assessing yourself

Tire your enemies out with swiftness

Obvious victory is not success

Cause division amongst opponents

Military operation means deception

Avoid your opponent when you are full

Attack when your rival is unprepared

Know the terrain before you start the war

A skilful warrior needs force and precision

Use humility to make your opponent feel haughty

 Force of a water to move the boulder, speed of hawk to kill

Discipline stands for chain of command, organisation and logistics

Leadership means intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness courage and sternness

Relationships

Picture:  api.ning.com

We all are emotional beings and nobody will deny the fact that we need relationships. But do we ever ask ourselves why we need relationships? Before answering this crucial question we willingly plunge into the sea of emotions. The feel of ‘togetherness’ becomes so strong that we seldom realise that the union is not for a purpose, but a cause – the cause being that of proving oneself right and others wrong. We wish to be perfect and so we feed the illusion that we can get along well with anyone and everyone. Deep inside we know that we are insecure as we know we are emotionally disabled. A compromising relationship can never fulfil each others emotional needs. The relationship becomes a stagnating pool and not a spring of life, as it doesn’t transcend the physical realm. It becomes confusion of minds rather than a fusion of souls. Hope you find a true soul mate.                 

Lonely Shore

Lonely Shore

A quiet evening at lonely shore,

Nothing much but quietness in store;

Did you hear the sound of dreams?

Whispering in the ears that heard the screams;

Despair hopped and skipped and left

Message was clear to move ahead with deft.

The lonely shore twinkled again,

Life chuckled with dreams again.

Fifth resignation letter

Hi All, 

Change as we all know is inevitable and there comes a time in life when we actually don’t know if we should smile or cry…stay or move ahead…think or feel…


From writing to editing, brochures to training and team management to Social Media, these two years of were a wonderful and thrilling roller coaster ride.
