Grand grand grandma
Oh how the children - the
Grandchildren love their grandma
Grandness grandeur some kind of greatness
In the word ‘GRANDMA’
Gone are 29 years without my grandma
Oh how I loved to hold her hand
And gently lead her to walk
When we used to go out to watch
movies at the theatre.
She was slim and tall
Fairest of all
Treated everyone with her special love and care
Made each ones favorite dishes for them to relish
Always likes to entertain guests with her delicious dishes
Her devotion to Krishna is the most special of all
I copied it but still cannot compete
To be like her
My grandma is my grandma
Great by all means
I love you forever my dear grandma!

Journey of the Flowers
Once upon a time
When I was a little girl
On my way to home and school
I used to witness...
The final parade of the demised
Heading towards the burial ground
And felt sorry for the dead, and the flowers
That were strewn on the path to the crematory.
I pitied the short life of those flowers
For their miserable fate
To die along with the dead
And wondered about
The flowers that were blessed
To celebrate the joys of life.
While some were cherished
Why others vanished from people’s memory?
Was my long awaited query.
After many years, with a mature mind
I have realized the sacred truth
Of the flowers that were destined
To die along with the dead
Were actually blessed
More than the celebrated ones
For the journey of those flowers
Along with the demised
Were destined to reach
The Almighty’s Abode!

Fall
This time of the season
The sun is not blazing
But the hues of the leaves glowing
Bright with orange,yellow and red
Falling from the trees
Rolling on the streets
Decorating the earth
Prized collection in scrapbooks
Photogenic features
To be preserved
In the memoirs n memories
Of the seer of the scenes!

Ducks, ducks and ducks everywhere...!
Ducks,ducks and ducks,
Where ever I turn.
Beside the curb of church road
Lay my neighbor's dog-Annie's toy duck!
Two handsome mallard duck's crossed the Broadmoor road
To join the lonely female duck
That raced from the menace of the male mallards!
In the middle of Mayland Drive
Ten tiny cute little ducklings
Were chaperoned by their mother
Who waddled away across the road
As the traffic came to a halt!
I wish I had my camera to click
This beautiful sight
On a belated Mother's Day
Early evening twilight!
Where ever I turn.

Freedom
When one has a mental block
There is no freedom in speech
When one's mind is preoccupied
There is no freedom in action
When one's emotions are suppressed
There is no freedom in thought
When one's dominated by hesitation
There is no freedom of expression.
But realization and awareness
The two virtues in life
Brings in true freedom!!!

Twinkle Twinkle

Don't you drop
From the leaf top!

With joy it makes me beam!

The twinkling colors
For it brings immense joy!

Falling is a Blessing
The breeze is blowing gently
Sweeping the flower petals from the trees
Letting them loosely fall
Lovingly wishing you
The one to be lucky!
Falling from the trees
Twirling and twisting
Dancing amidst you, the
Beautiful flower petals
Make you feel like a celebrity!
Whilst this happens around you
Wow what a magical feeling
Blessed from Heaven art thou
Enchanted in this divine beauty!

Challenge
Compare not thee, with your comrade
For thou art different from thy friend
Let thou not let thyself down
For thou not know about thyself!
People are different
And so are their Challenges
To one life itself is a challenge
And to the other living is a challenge!
Likes and dislikes are different
For each one of us
Consider your success just success
But more number of failures,
Are equal to more number of challenges
Disappointment should not be the result
Challenge yourself, to find out the reason
Of your birth, pursue with dedication
And accomplish the unaccomplished!!

Quotations from Savitri by Sri Aurobindo and my interpretations
1. Suffering was lost in her immortal smile.
Immensity was exceeded by a look,
(That's very true with your special person in life.)
2. Whoever is too great
Must lonely live.
(Great souls' embrace loneliness and live with it because their power and strength is gained in silence, quietness and loneliness.)
3. There is a purpose
In each stumble and fall.
(The more sufferings and challenges a person experiences, it helps the person to learn life's lessons. Especially when pondered deeply about the problems, and not giving importance to the superficial pain of the sufferings. It unfolds many facts and truth especially the fact of your birth.)
4. None can reach heaven
Who has not
Passed through hell.
( All the sufferings, pain,worries can be identified as hell, and when we comprehend deeply about them and achieve a peace of mind by solving the problem and negating the pain it brings happiness, which is heaven. Thereby everyone in some way undergoes : struggles (hell) and attain happiness (heaven). )
5. One man's perfection
Still can save the world.
(Wow, how great and powerful that person could be I wish i can be that person because I always love helping and saving humanity.Truly for the purpose and not the fame.)
6. A moment sees,
The ages toil to express.
(Very true, but too painful, and as we know no gain without pain.)
7. All things are real
That here are only dreams.
(The moment we realize that we attain mukthi.)
8. Love is a yearning
Of the One
For the One.
(Yes, I can very well relate to this, I yearned for Goddess Saraswathi's love and realized it.)
9.The soul that can
Live alone with itself
Meets God.
(My inner self is calling me everyday but I keep dodging away.)
10. My God is Love
And sweetly suffers all.
(Love is God and love is me, when you are love suffering also tags along and it's a package deal.)
11. Only the pure in soul
Can walk in light.
(I wish i can become that pure.)
12. For joy
And not for sorrow
Earth was made.
(I realized this for the first time in the fourth decade of my life.)
Immensity was exceeded by a look,
(That's very true with your special person in life.)

Dandelion
Happy to see nice little flowers
Blossoming in the lawn
Glad to gather them
For my prayers.
Little was I aware,
That they were weeds
And was also wondering
Why people didn't care about them?
Now I know the reason
And will never let one
Grow in my garden!!!

Alone
One is born alone
And while among others
One should learn to live alone
For one dies alone!
Loneliness is actually healthy
To body,mind and soul
For there is less
Chattering and clattering!
Above all the best time is
Available in one's hand, so
Avail it before it's being snatched
To see the happy outcome!
Alone,unknown,before one knows
One will be treading into
The world of Spirituality!

Bits and Pieces
Bits and pieces
Make a nice patch work
A beautiful quilt
A nice tiled wall
Gorgeous tainted glass window
Or a Kaleidoscope!
Voila what have I got here
By the Great seers and saints
Good doctors and authors
Poets and writers
People, parents and partners
Myself amalgamated into One
Bit or piece of the Supreme!

Anger
I gave love and got anger in return
I did good and got wrong for a gift
I was generous but taken for granted
I spoke the truth but got insulted!
Battled with anger
I conquered the wrath in me
And here I'm socializing in the world of conscience
To sublimate the negatives to positives!
What do I have now
Solitude by my side
Peace of mind as my partner
Happiness and health!

Nothingness
For a while I embraced the word nothingness
Since my world was filled with emptiness
I had nothing to share
Neither did I dare
To speak the words of wisdom
For little did people comprehend
About my intention
For everything lies in nothingness
Was my conclusion
Inexplicable,since I knew nothing more about it
But still embrace nothingness in my world
For I feel everything is in it!
