  A Few Words We all know that a mother’s love is the most precious and the most powerful love ever. We commit mistakes, we do blunder; still, our mothers embrace us. How wonderful! Truly so, isn’t it? Who else in flesh and blood can love us more? They sacrifice everything for us, and, what is more, with a smile. A mother does sacrifice her dreams, her desires, her likes, her dislikes, everything just to see the smiling faces of her child or her children. However, sometimes, she gets angry indeed, but that is just to discipline her children, to perfect them, for sure. She loves us the most; she has to be indignant to correct our errors. Well, that, too, is a product of her love, of her heart, isn’t it? So, broadly speaking, Nature is our common mother; she loves us, she trains us, and sometimes she disciplines us to correct our errors. Just like a mother, she, too, has the right, she, too, has the affection to teach us life’s lessons. We are brought back to the right track of virtu

Vain Victory (Senryu) We fight tooth and nail, To establish our triumph. All're lost in the dust! A Few Words Each and every one of us does dream of success, of accomplishment and of triumph. No matter where we are, no matter what we are and no matter where we come from, we all do desire of victory in some way or the other. Well, we love dreaming large, we fight so hard, we try to concentrate and we earn the feather on our caps finally. Yes, we can, yes, we do pave the way to our success. We live, we love and we celebrate. Well, after all, we all do and ought to contemplate on life. How beautiful it is indeed! Then, day by day, we grow old. Day by day, our skin gets loosened, our hair grey. Gradually, we realise the beautifully organised falsehood of life. We are not meant to stay here forever. Then, things seem pointless. Nevertheless, we are not supposed to think of our demise and become morose at all. Why don’t we leave an impression on this earth that can keep us immortal?

A few words about the poem This poem was composed in the wake of the pandemic of Corona. Moreover, it is a witness of the dreadful days of Amphan. The poem---"Let's Lessen the Severity" The cosmic order comprises Harmony among all things – Nature, and man, and virtues. Yes, our virtues hold us Firm in oneness with Nature. And the invisible thread That holds our virtues Is none other than love. But we are disobedient To the moral norms – We defile Nature, We act unkind, We mask our true visages. Hence, now, during this Uncertain time of pandemic, Cyclones and other blows, Nature reverts to us. No more do the pupils Go to their institutes; No more do the employees Go to their workplaces. Unemployment and starvation Will, perchance, be in the offing. We are going to face Even more dire days. We are supposed to be Full of love, sympathy, and Unity to make this turmoil Seem less severe… We’re world citizens; Let’s p

A Few Words This poem was composed in the wake of Amphan, the cyclone that swept human happiness away, to add fuel to the fire of COVID-19. The poem --- 'Let’s Reunite' We gave up our unity With each and every barrier; Abandoned integrity Ushers in each disaster.   With our “narrow domestic walls”, We all live in a cocoon; Do we ever answer Nature’s call? How do we expect her boon?   We defiled her to the utmost; Aye! We love to hate; With our unpremeditated boast, We’ve brought in such a state.   We endeavoured to 'modernise' This world of ours; Nature will now all traumatise; No lenience of flowers.   Corona’s raid, Amphan’s dread Turns us all afraid; Once, Nature bled.   It’s time, it’s time, When we must get unified; Unity should chime, Else we’ll get more petrified.   It’s the moment, it’s the moment, When we all must sympathise; To get rid of such confinement, Let’s this earth re-naturalise.
