There was a man who said
I never knew what happiness was 
Until I got married
And then it was too late 
Before marriage, 
A man yearns for the woman he loves
After marriage, 
He earns for the women he loves
Maintain the social decorum
Marriage is social custom
Union of two soul
Sometimes by fair means
Often by foul
Decided by your means
Not by what you need
But decided by your creed

{This was written after thinking about the marriage and its allied benefits and harms.}

60 years of Indian Democracy
Getting matured from infancy
Our democracy the emblem of sovereignty
Freedom, equality and fundamental rights
It does guarantee
In the world of autocracy
Or the rule of aristocracy
India is a land of diversity
Unity in plurality
Indian democracy survived and revived
Many other failed and perished
The sustenance of Indian democracy
Lies in handling issues with delicacy 
Collaboration and consensus building
The social and pluralistic thinking
Rule by people, for the people 
Through the representatives of people
Our democracy got matured 
In news it get featured
People are now more participating
Great future we are anticipating
Long live our democracy
We will foil any conspiracy
Against the sovereignty of the nation
Unity and integrity of Great nation


{This was written after celebrating and commemorating the 60 years of Indian Democracy this year.}

We often hear about news
News is a form of information
To enhance our understanding
And not to confuse
All that is happening in the nation
And all over the world
The things that matter many
Or things that bearing
On the human being
Social, economic and political
Now the scope added, environmental
Sports and entertainment
Education and development
There is one mystery about the news
It fits into newspapers daily, doesn’t it confuse
How’s that possible? 


{This was written after thinking about the mystery and characteristics of news.}

If work were so pleasant
The rich of the world would had been peasant
If laboring yielded gold
Then donkey would had been called
The best of animal kingdom
Thinking is random
But hope it will spark your thinking
And help you in linking
The miseries of the world
It is not due to lack of labour
But due to dint of some clever
Benefits are reaped by few
Few among us, unwilling to share
And not ready to care
For poor for sure
What do you think is the cure? 
{This was written after a random thinking on the plight of the poor and economic system of the world.}

Money is Honey
Money money money 
O my dear honey
Tinkering sound
Of Rupee, dollar and pound
The world ruled by capitalist
Made man more materialist
He toils day and night
To get the deceiving delight
Of the money and wealth
Risking spirit heavenly and health
Being clever and cunning
Man tries to find new meaning
In the material possession
Relish on wealth accumulation
Money is the medium not the means
To live life, why spilling beans
This is the irony
O my dear honey
Money, money and money

{This was written after a random thinking over the corrupting influence of money and how it has changed the meaning of life.}

The relations so emotional are few
The poem dedicated to my nephew
Two little nephews
It’s my personal views
Two little kids full of energy
They have a good synergy
Talented, they are, I would say
Always happy, merry making
Very close they stay
Like young calves of mother cow
Remembering the moments now
Computer games I never liked
With them I do play
I feel like child with child
They do sketching and painting
With colours, they keep on tainting
Every piece of paper and wall
Not every now and then, but I do call
Talk on phone, during chatting
Come soon, they keep on insisting
Eager to show their painting
Good children are result of good parenting
They want me to listen
Their rhymes learnt by rote
Uttering like trained parrot
Exiting moments await me
Full of happiness and glee
We eat together 
We bathe together
Go for evening walk
For hours, we talk
On little things
Things that give pleasure
Things that we do at leisure
The moments spent with them
So memorable and cherishable
They may forget over time
But how could I, joys of prime
With me, the memories will linger
Like a treasure
Buried beneath the earth
Memories full of pleasure
And undiminishing mirth

{This was written when I planned to go home after along interval of time after completing bachelor of Planning from School of Planning and Architecture in May 2012.}

How little things
Matters in life
You will recall
When life becomes
Full of many a strife
When you are lonely
And silence prevails
Then only
The moments of joys
Long forgotten
Get unveiled
Slowly
The old memories
Get revealed
Time spent
With children and friends for ever
With wife, beloved and lover
Little moments
Make life great
The moments of gratitude
And unyielding attitude
You remember
Your follies
Smile on some
Regret on other
On reaching altitude
And gaining aptitude
Little moments of life
Seem more important
Than all achievements
After travelling through plains
And valleys
Of the field of struggle
Life is full of battles
Some with values
Great and little
The moments long spent
Get surfaced like ripples
On the floor of ocean
The ocean of our lives
So deep and profound
Unexplored as it’s abound
Little moments of life
Have more importance
Than years of existence

{This was written when thought over what makes life so enjoyable and how we skip them for no reasons but to reach the destination which is nowhere on this mundane Earth.}

At the moment
Have delight
In everything you do
Please, please
Don’t make excuse
Don’t say
It’s night
Wait for the day
But do
At this moment
You know
Time never comes
It’s we who go
How can I show?
Time is imaginary
Time is futility
But only activity is reality
You are alive
At the moment
Enjoy every event
Don’t repent
For what you did in past
But do aright
At the present
Do in the best way
If you can do
Here and now
Don’t ask how
You know it well
Just start
And it will get accomplished
Your art and ability will get polished
Everyone must heed
We are born in the world
And constantly growing old
We will leave behind
Not silver and gold
But some sweet memories
Or a little miseries
A list of deeds
Done and undone
Done badly or done well
And this will judge our lives
Your deed may be
Like a little straw
Floating on the surface of sea
What we call world
Your deed may be solid as stone
And having a weight of ton
But it may dive deep
If not kept at right place
On Earth’s surface
The deeds done
For the needy people
For the poorest of poor
Will determine you true value
So pay heeds my brother, pay heed
Do things right
At right moment
With all your might
And enjoy a life of delight

I saw a little boy
Playing without toy
He was merry and gay
In ecstasy, I can say
Undisturbed by worldly affairs
He assumed no airs
He played in dust
Almost lost in lust
Lust of playful pleasure
Enjoying time of leisure
Boy was very naughty
Feared not to get dirty
Enjoyed playing with sand
Taking sand in hand 
Making and breaking
Structures of imagination
Throwing sand on his head and shoulders
Like a bravest of brave soldiers
He was playing in the sun
With unlimited fun
From here to there
There to here
Hither and thither 
He skipped and jumped
With joy he popped 
I saw him one day
But, he in my memory, stay
As a evergreen pleasure
And flashes when in leisure

O my darling
Understand my feeling
Come near
And call me dear
You are my heart
Let me flirt
Come nearer
Feel the touch
Touch of a manly hand
Besides me do stand
Don’t miss the chance
Let’s romance
On the tune of nature
Let’s dance
Let two hearts become one
Make me special from someone
We are made for each other
Like bird and its feather
Like Ocean and water
Like strings of a guitar
Let’s play of music
Music of two hearts
Let’s feel the beauty
The beauty of eternal arts
Do love me
Love like your duty
Feel my heart with glee
Listen to untold plea
O my darling
Understand my feeling
