Today the sun shines very brightly

 I got up very late.

Only at half past eight I remembered the fateful day of Dec 21.

A lot of hype for the last weeks months gone by...

World will die.

How stupid and superstitious people are.

Media was making money

Showing some people,

Scholars, clowns, the intelligentia

Or astrologers into limelight.

Seeking their expert advice

Honesty one does not know

The clock of the universe-

The capability of our own sun to emit fire...

Peeping into the infinite number of stars

In the sky or while bathing under the moonlight,

Or walking through the dense woods

Or wading through the chill stream

We all rejoice and rejuvenate

Ourselves into a recharged better human,

World will live long, with all its colours

If we behave better with nature

And do not allow bad to drive the good

From circulation.

Mid September 2012 Musing

Will you bring back what once it was Mine?

Will you change the Fate’s Design?

When will the glow, Return on her face? A perpetual beauty for me

Will you reverse the clock? And unite us in perpetual bliss!

And take us back to those blissful and peaceful days of 1970s

Will you give her the hope, energize the molecules in brain

To love this world and nature and many pleasant events to come

Will shakthi give more shakthi, from a Distance,

Her presence always cajoles her

It’s against the nature when innocents suffer,

Perpetually for ever without any redemption

Make me suffer to make her healthier

She has more wisdom and knowledge

More balanced and more beautiful

More altruistic and sacrificial in nature

It’s against nature, to heap more injustice on her

She’s more like painted pacific ocean,

Surface is calm, but underneath the sea

There’s a raging volcano

She suffers at the bottom of her Heart,

Mind and all atomic particles

It’s time, Oh Lord, she deserved more peace

She must become more serene as serene could be

Even without Me

I know, you can’t bring back/What once it was mine.

I know, ‘I’ and ‘my’ will cease to exist one day

She will have eternal peace and bliss

But now, in the present, at each moment

Let her not get deprived of and fun laughter

All the simplest pleasures of life under the sun.

A Prayer to the Creator

30.09.2012

Today, while washing a few utensils in the Kitchen

You did send me a signal I am no longer a young man

The sudden excruciating pain at the back

At the bottom of backbone

The critical inability to bend or move

Or even stretch, to switch off light

Your signal was clear to me, my lord

My wrong posture of sitting on the chair

And also writing and many a time of dozing on the chair

The great mental stress, and academic greed to read

And also the desire write more and more,

The gross cumulative neglect of walking,

The poverty of love and concern

From the better half....

All must have had a cascading effect on health

I will not become more anxious, or panicky

Today, by the divine will, the eldest daughter appeared

At right time and gave some first aid,

Playing the compensatory Role for Sakthi,

I know, I will have to take care of myself

How will I go tomorrow and lecture at Karaikal

Will car travel accelerate the pain?

Is thinking always that I am not aged, wrong?

Oh God, I will not meekly submit to any kind of ill health?

I will correct my mistakes & rectify wrong postures

Help me to perform my work and render justice to you.
