Will U save me Doc?


(Advanced Medicare & Research Institute Hospital)

Hospitals, d’ house of horror!
horrific tragedies often occur
It happened in morning wee hour
Ignitable in cellar, caught fire
Friday turned a black Friday, in no time
AMRI Hospital patients, d’ victim

Neighboring slummers raised alarm
Their plea ignored, listened none
Security locked gate, to prevent theft, 

 fought fire with water buckets
Toxic fumes briskly formed
Pumped to central air condition
Patients in wards got suffocated
Bed ridden, chocked to death, in bed
 for li’l fresh air, others desperate,
pressing nostrils on cracks & wind outlets
Tried to break open d’ thick glass pans,
Failure turned hospital, a burning oven

A corporate Hospital, utterly expensive
 specialist wings appear impressive
Fire fighting equipments not installed
Fire safety norms, yet to be followed
Basement, a benevolent store
For chemicals, wastes & oxygen cylinder
Cellar designed for open parking lot
generator installed, no second thought
Never ensured, a basement clearance,
Proved for many, a death sentence

smoke, engulfed several floor,
eventuated in a mass murder
helpless guys on life support system,
couldn’t move with plasters / traction
attempts made to attract attention
pressing face, palms on glass pans
Some witnessed others, being burnt alive,
Kin even not allowed to rescue relatives
Some woke up, smelling d’ smoke
watching d’ situation their heart broke
Staffs assured them not to worry
Slummers smashed glass panes, in a hurry
Tied patients to their bodies, with cloth
and rescued some, down to earth

Fire engines reached, no hydraulic lifts
In dense darkness, no flood lights
Firemen tussled, with no ammunition
Fire fury, seinged d’ trapped persons
In d'blaze, a ton patients perished,
Government’s generous overlook policy
turning Hospitals, to zones highly risky
crowded spot, narrow roads, thin lanes,
 visits by kind hearted politicians
Hard  to maneuver, for fire tender
A major hindrance to quick answer
Entrance & exit from d’ front,
no access from rear 
In fire emergency, rescue efforts a failure
Fire fighting equipments not in form
Management flouts, fire safety norm
None aware of using d’ extinguisher
Security’s reaction sluggish &  poor
No fire training for any Medical staff
Run away d’ only way, to save own life
They, not d’ captain of a sinking ship,
to rescue victims with self sacrifice

 frantic calls to relatives to save

failed, got engulfed in d' blaze

  For treatment, patients come,
 Fire trap & death,

a poignant dimension
 Extinguishers mere decorational
No timely refill, all nonfunctional
no water tank to hydrate d’ fire

No fire alarm, action plan not clear
Hospital needs segregation,

penalty for, building code violation

It's patient's right, 

proper care & treatment
Recuperation in safe environment
All perpetrators, bribe takers
Hospital owners, political leaders

need to be prosecuted

similar accidents, not to be repeated
Allow them not, to go scot free,
as always happens in our country

 Most hospitals flirting d’ very factor,
caused AMRI inferno on 7th of December
Patient safety ignored, for more revenue
Money minting, primarily in d’ view



If advised for Hospitalization,
 an woeful look, intense apprehension
No other options, no further choice
A query uttered in a shrill voice,
with utter dismay & profound shock
If a fire breaks, will U save me Doc?

Immersion


I’ve immersed in d’ river,
not my sins
Not my hesitation or fear
Not my loneliness
Not my ego, nor my silence,
I’ve immersed all my dreams
Elegant nightmares, so awesome
No rationality, no true reason
for d’ immersion!
It’s all, beyond being pardoned

Me, an artisan,
engaged in shaping dreams
With tender touch of my fingers
using my delicate gadgets
Dreams, smeared with my pleasure, my woes
Painted with innumerable rainbows
It’s so soothing, so affectionate
So appealing, hard to calculate
I kept it close to my chest

Last evening, things happened
all of a sudden
I took a startling decision
Made up my mind, for an immersion
of my wishes, my goal
my destination, my desire, and all
All in a row, in d’ river
Lifted d’ effigy from it’s alter
Never looked in to its eyes,
no scope yielded to surmise
Mystic guilt shrouded my mind
never waited for a few second
Dragged it to d’ river flow
Released my clutch & let it go



In d’ morning a group of boys
Took bath in d’ river
Dived in to d’ depth of d’ water
Recovered it in piecemeal
One picked up a foot, other few fingers
Women with water carrying vessels
Found its eyes, full of thoughts

Washer man, washing garments
Discovered ears, with precious ornaments
Its chest, pulled to d’ river bank
By a flock of street dogs & abandoned,
to get dried up in d’ scorching sun
That’s d’ fate of my stupendous dream
shattered, smashed, made me scream

Now my watchful look,
stretched in all direction
for collection
To trace each mini bits of my dream
To put d’ broken pieces together
Assemble it back, to its original character
I wish to sob, I wish to weep
Beat my forehead with cup of my hand
It’s an uphill task
And to myself several questions I ask

A personal letter to God

I’m writing U this letter
A personal letter,
noted my feelings
Expressed all wishes,
not hinting my name
Of course U know who I’m
Some secrets I’ll tell
Keep it private,don’t reveal
It may surprise U,
But it’s strictly between me & U
Let people keep guessing,
let them speculate
Secret wish, to be kept a secret


I’m eager, to be your shadow,
my puny asking ,don’t U forego
I know, of course U’ll hear
my petty appeal,crude to ignore
Once U sanction me my wish
U can no more vanish 
 In broad day light,U’ve to appear
Then only a dark shadow, U’ll bear
Can no more remain invisible
U ought to become accessible



U’ll permit me, to be your shadow
I ought to follow, where ever U go,
Inseparable from U, undetachable
Not scared of any one, not even you
Shade is no light, it’s li’l darkness
grant me it, that’s my sincere wish
Everyone asks for wealth, prosperity
I beg for darkness, a small quantity,
of your figure, your shape
Be not a miser,
do donate, little darkness

Four generations together, a power centre

Me, my daughter,
daughter’s daughter & her daughter
Four generations, in unison,
of same genetic configuration
Staying together, moving together
Howl in conjunction, shout in succession
Give neighbors a jolt
D’ poor confused lot,
Undecided if to abscond or to halt
When together, can create wonders
All impossible, made possible
All perplexities taken care
Thus d’ genesis of a power centre



First generation, generation of a dictator
Empress’s attitude, monarchial behavior
None can disobey d' order,
poses to be d’ supreme commander
Desires to visit shopping malls, city centers
Star hotels for lavish luscious dinner,
Taste buds grown with superlative orientation
Piquant food called for, up to palate’s appreciation
used to narcotics, fond of tranquilizer
no scope to access liquor


Second generation
Complacent, but eccentric in nature
Moves ahead, tension free, nothing to bother
Guys of own generation completely ignored
worried for predecessor & successor
father, mother, daughter and grand-daughter
Ailing spouse out of mind, of no concern
Vanished from visual field, entirely forgotten


Argues efficiently, for every problem minor
never listen to anyone, arrogant in nature

Third generation active further
Smart working lady
Well oriented in computer
A competent car driver
Loves outing, long drives , friend circle
Aggressive but innocent,

for problems never care for
Fully inclined to hubby & daughter
Little inclination to brother and father
Kind enough in attitude
Believes in every one, their sweet words
With full sympathy, generous attitude
No dearth of compassion and kindness
No wallet for money, fist is d’ purse
Pardons enemies, helps d’ poor
Cares for d’ diseased and injured




Fourth generation, always in a hurry,

  varieties of look, mixed with multiple query
Can outsmart stylist Bollywood star
Born full term, but behaved premature
Freshly born but showed different gestures
In infancy also wonderful  her postures
A future sturdy minister or his master
Articulation not yet learnt in proper
Gives speeches showing d’ index finger
Surrounding world she’s keen to explore
Wants to do everything done by other
Attempts to operate a computer, to drive a car
Speaks  in cell phone, making different gestures
Baby food rejected, milk palatable no more
Wants  foods enjoyed by others
Plays with grown ups, young completely ignored
Remembers d’ Hospital corridor
Vaccine pricks hurt her arm
Already a pseudonym composer
Portrayed as a future writer
Also an efficient future doctor





 Dhritarastra's hundred sons, one daughter
Not that powerful all together
Here are four ladies
Me, my daughter, daughter’s daughter, her daughter
Missiles of modern world, amazing power center
Its their common character
Late to bed, late riser
Wish to fly together, to Singapore or Banglore
