Just enough

                                                                           
    Grant me just enough,
my wants bare minimum,
 don’t need much,
Wish just a decent deal,
not being rude & rough



No desire for lavish food,
eatables just be good
Extra calorie not cardinal,
 my ventures utterly normal
Assess in accurate,
how much, how often to eat
and just enough exercise,

 to burn my fat

Gorgeous garments no craving
An attire cover, plain & soothing
Just enough beauty, a decent face
Just enough speed to win d’ race


Long, an adequate health,
an ideal job and ample rest
 Requisite verities of stuff
to quench professional thirst
expertise brushed up, by teaching,
perfection, by repeated doing
Minimum drugs, for a cure
No false hopes, if not sure
an adequate pull & stitching
for a scarless wound healing
Amassing wealth, no need,
brakes applied to my greed
No possessiveness, no tension,
no sleepless nights, apprehension
Teeth brushed, just enough to clean
No attrition, no dent in dentine
No display of extra politeness
resist exploitation of innocence
No ostentation of being over busy
Things made, just simple & easy



Adequate time imperatively given
to admire God’s amazing creation
astounding things often happen
just beyond our imagination
Be close to nature, live longer
In fresh lively atmosphere


Its my sincere yearning

to be a thin crystal clear stream
Erupting from a hill forest
Jumping, dancing at rhythmic pace
Sweet singing, a ceaseless flow,
my prolonged journey, a flawless go
That’s d’ type of trek I wish,
to sustain my passion sense

 If I’m good enough for you
Me & U, just d’ two,
move ahead together
No pretensions any further,
I’ll dry up my tears,
shout three cheers
a life of a furry bird’s softness
with credibility & fairness
Hand in hand, resume our go
me, U my tributary,

regain our flow

In my sparse caliber
enough good, need to be done
No longing for grand publicity,
wish a small recognition
No rush, in speed of meteor,
to get burnt in atmosphere
Guarded go, to create wonders


No wrestling with bulky muscles
No brutal brevity to slaughter
just enough valour,

to desist deeds unfair
Personality of a decent person
look lively, not being a burden
average politeness to pull through
adequate kindness, to betrayed few
No desire for a vocabulary vast
to depict feelings, few befitting words
No monument, in my memory
Just enough earth,
 for disposal of my body

Cage me not, in a school!


It’s truly tough to surmise,
my infancy, ends up in a surprise
I’m damn sure
In next few years
I’ll be, in a ruthless school,
A rusted cage,

with railings of rules

Kindergarten,

no garden of flowers
A forbidden park,

 of carnivorous creatures

Uncouth draconian teachers,
bruise d’ innocent budding souls
Playful pleasures ripped off,
strange impositions, no funny stuff
Surfeit of home task to perform
to memorize, even maths sums
Somatic stamina, entirely out
No energy spared, to play or shout
Mind full with, wisdom transient
No real intellect development
An ephemeral erudition!
no rousing acquiral done


Book laden back pack burden
joy of juvenile funs, forgotten
Bounty bag lifting habit formed
a practice for a porter’s job !

no breathing time, no leisure
for tiffin, no relaxed atmosphere
Personality progress, appears absurd
all round growth, nipped in d’ bud
  play not cognized,no recreation
In schools of fresh generation
Task onus, flash assessment
Aloft expectations of parents

Toil till late night,

too little rest
No sound sleep,
sweet dreams,never dreamt
No pleasing calm morning,
with anxieties,days begin
Rigorous code of uniform,
never suit, our condition
zeal depleted, gusto gone
just listen to dry lessons,
Lessons, learnt with pleasure,
retained for ever & ever

Evidently lack of concentration
recedes far, goal of education
Impute d’ blame, to none
It’s our country, our system
 high hours of incarceration,
reckoned as ideal institution
excessive stress,untold agony
mental growth marred in d’ tiny
unvoiced feel, in d’ youngster
vast volume of repressed anger
No paltry academic ambience,
education, not value based
 patriotism nil, no non-violence
to inculcate spiritual progress
No worry for code of conduct
self restraint, modesty, never taught
Play, no place, in study curriculum
Encumbrance, turned  d’ education
Tutoring, no trade venture,
mafia monopoly affair neither
Wings clipped, no freedom to fly
innovative ideas dissipate & dry


Wish to watch, environment
Birds, butterflies, flower plants
Peep at squirrels, play with nature
curiosity my teacher,
I love to explore,

Blooming marigold, budding jasmine
Color veg.,in kitchen garden
Dig d’ earth, look for earth worms,
fully amusing watering of plants
Monarch butterflies, pretty moths
Beautiful wings, so mysterious


Humming birds, emerald green
their sweet whir & whine
Long proboscis, thirst for nectar
So fascinating d’ little creature
Ignore not, answer my queries,
Help me achieve,desired height
I'll flourish my stock of words
Own lexis, as per my grasp



Till 5th birthday, no school, no class
No tuning in, to competing world
Only face-to-face interaction,
I dislike gossip,on cellphone

If no escape in d’ offing
I’ll pull d’ socks up & get going
But School, a dirty dumping pool,
cage me not, in a school
