Dreams Of A Bride
With sparkling stars
in her eyes
She is dreaming of
her new life
With the man of her
dreams
She has been dressed
in the
Most beautiful
clothes and
Jewels to match
With a pair of white
stilettos
Hair adorned with
jasmine and rose
She sits quietly with
her mind
Wandering to the
beautiful house
Where his parents and
siblings
Treat her like a
queen
She doesn't need
anything special
Her mind says
I want only a
truthful husband
Where everything is
transparent
Between the two of us
With all these
thoughts
She steps in to the
pandal all lighted up
With hopes and
aspirations
Of a beautiful life
ahead
They walk around the
holy fire
Seven times and he try
The sacred yellow
thread around her Slender neck!
These thoughts bring
her to
Ecstasy of her
married life!
She wakes up from her
dream suddenly
and kneels and pray
her dream comes true!

World Literacy Day !!
Can we really
celebrate this occasion when we see so many children are unable to go to school
and study like the other children?
They are instead
carrying heavy loads on their tender heads, hearing words from their masters,
and sometimes a belting, all to feed their parents and little siblings!
It's high time the
nation moved in the direction of educating the poor and underprivileged who
cannot afford to pay any school fee!
Plea to the
government is to open
Schools for the poor
and needy
Providing books and
uniforms free of cost and nourishing mid-day meal for them as their
undernourished brain has to work well to absorb what has been taught in the
class and achieve a degree in future to hold a job and live with integrity!
If nothing is done
towards educating these children they are going to end up with severe illness
of their tender nerves and ultimate cause is death at young age all because of
negligence by the government and the so-called elites who do not want to open
their eyes to
this traumatic
situation instead spending their money on wine, woman and luxurious living!
These children, out
of hunger pangs,
are forced to eat
from the vats the wasted and rotten food with cats and dogs!
Come on brethren! let
us put our foot forward to save the situation
and help in our own
little way to provide education for the poor who have brains but no means!
I dont want to
mention here the good and noble work done by some schools and professors who
need to be saluted for their untiring effort for this noble cause!

Our Love Will Remain ..
When i fell in love
with you i knew you were poor and living in a broken-down house
It didn’t matter to
me at all
What mattered was
your
Kind and gentlemanly
ways
I decided to move in
with you for our love's sake
We have bread and tea
Most of the days
It never bothered us
It was our love
Which bind our lives
We are happy living
In this house
With no complaint
Just true love
Kept us going
Let this love never
die
Even when tsunami
strikes and we get separated by earthquakes
We will always be in
love without seeing each other
Till the world lasts!
The sun may not shine
The moon may wane
But our love will
Always remain
So sweet and sublime
