Leave this country


If feel oppressed, get tortured,
only problems here, they claim
why not they leave this country,
to stay here who has invited them?

Why we’ll leave this country?
they cannot behave too smart
country equally belongs to us,
in freedom fight we took part
If things go wrong somewhere,
we have d’ right to point it out
each day we’re asked to leave,
repeatedly advised not to shout

On their demand, for their benefit,
a portion sliced and Pakistan made
yet few stayed back to hatch havoc,
enjoy facilities but never satisfied

Our role in nation building, ignored
belong to this country, no outsider
we, our kids, born and brought up,
till our last breath, we will be here

Take the name of the Almighty,
jump with a bomb tied to body
no worry for devastation, grief,
for anytime anarchy ever ready
God directed, kill d’ innocent,
a sacrificial act to please Him
sacred step for one’s salvation,
Jihad never considered a crime?

What about cruel mob attacks,
killing the uninvolved persons
fake blames as cow smugglers,
it is no crime, murder or arson?

Native land for crores of Hindu,
everyone can’t be a mob-lyncher
for freak feat by few miscreants,
whole community u can’t censure

Muslims too remain in crores here,
all do the act, bombs tied to chest?
for one or two doing such mischief,
can’t point finger at whole of d’ rest


What they’ve done for the nation,
polluted d’ congenial atmosphere
open up d’ Face book /What’s up,
entire situation will be crystal clear

You are upset since morning today,
utterly busy with your cell phone
Khir’s nearly ready, looks fantastic,
will you carry it to bhaijan’s home?

Routine mob lynching, suffocates,
peaceful atmosphere is fully gone
Have breakfast, go to their house,
the chicken biryani is almost done

Will you answer the calling bell,
open the door, check who is there
Bhaijan came with d’ biriyani box,
I handed over d’ khir near the door

What’s in your hand in that carrier,
with enough care you’re holding it
Bhabi prepared khir with li’l sugar,
it’s for me, she knows I’m diabetic

A non-spicy Biriyani, so delicious,
she recalls my spice related gastritis
I wish to thank both of them for it,
got chance to have my favorite dish

They harbor so much hatred for us,
I feel to close relations with them
we need to snap all our friendship
can’t continue in same pace again

Last year, when admitted in hospital,
he got d’ news, first person to come
daily morning he took u in his bike,
in evening drop you back at home

Open up face book, know their tricks,
a sort of nuisance, blockade of roads
see what they’ve done to this country,
women kids in forefront, looks absurd

My business failed three years back,
helped no relatives, that’s d’ real truth
food came from his house thrice a day,
for more than a month, can you refute?

Life’s just beautiful, it’s no Facebook,
no cooked up fake gossips with hatred
make our simple life horrible, toxic,
spread rumors, tell stories fabricated

Don’t dive in to your pet cell phones,
open your windows and peep outside
the world outside is incredibly superb,
no Hindu/Muslim, only Indians reside
one and all're, decent human beings,
ignore the minor disliked stray events
point out wrongs, add no religion to it,
need not bent upon to spoil d’ country

I'm proud of my father


A hectic first day in the office,
got ready for the initial event
d’ imperative inaugural speech
as the incoming US president
In middle of his maiden speech,
stood up an elite egoistic person
 defying all d' norms regulations,
tried to confront all of a sudden

Felt totally insulted, badly hurt,
unable to digest the moldy fact
offspring of a paltry shoe maker,
could become the top of d’ state
"First answer me Mr. President,
your father, a mere shoe maker,
for my family, he stitched shoes
as and when we placed an order"

"Obviously I wish to remind you,
prior to your ascent to that chair"
Abraham Lincoln was made fool,
a loud laughter, Senate did share
He gave a direct look in to his eyes,
stayed calm, made a polite answer
"Sir, not only yours, he made shoes,
for d’ families of many others here"

"Made it in a way nobody else can,
was gifted with divine designing art
to impart an unique shape to shoes,
he poured out whole soul and heart"
"I’ve inherited a li'l bit of his tricks,
I know how to make shoes myself
let me know if you’ve a complaint,
fresh pair of shoes for u I can make"
"But as far as my memory goes,
no one ever had any complaint
he was a genius in his profession,
had enthusiasm and commitment"
"He was made of different mettle,
truly an able and awesome creator
had loads of passion, perfection,
I ought to be proud of my father"
"He did all on his own accord,
with own vision and dedication
 not shoes but antique pieces,
worth keeping in the museum"
Whole Senate was struck dumb,
it does not matter what you do
but it matters the way it’s done,
a dear diamond necklace or shoe

Life, a challenges worth taking


I dish out light to d’ world,

and dispel the darkness

can anyone answer,

“who to look after d’ work

in my absence?”



Sun blew its own trumpet,

gave a curvy look,

situation seemed unclear

sensed d’ scene after sunset,

all in disarray, no apt reply to utter



No glow of the fire worms,

neither the wild fire of forest

no LED lights in the streets,

nor twinkling stars or planets



Methane ooze of marshy land,

no head light of speeding train

nor episodic oil refinery flame,

ensued nil from anyone’s brain



No glare of d’ Olympic torch,

volcano dared no affirmation

in d’ instant awkward scenario,

candle stood erect in attention



It behaved absolutely bold,

jam-packed in confidence

“I’ll truly try my level best,

pronounced in a clear voice”



Burn myself to bring on light,

not bothered if feeble or fine

not a matter of size or status,

 it's attitude, that should shine





Deeply drowned in thoughts,

stared far beyond, into infinity

breeze gently kissed its flame,

not muddling d’ blaze/beauty



Pursue the mission non stop,

revive, survive with suffering

admit no defeat, keep up pace,

life, a challenges worth taking
