Acrostic to Smt.Grace Thangamani

G race Thangamani, our dear friend, so fond,
R eceive this flower of poesy plucked from our heart's pond—
A s you retire from our Coach Factory, so esteemed,
C olleagues we, this day, bid you farewell,
E tching you in our memories, to ever there dwell.

T ender—hearted, with service ingrained in your mind;
H elping hand extending to all you'd needy find;
A dmirable in your office work—sincere and wonderful;
N oted for your calligraphy—neat and beautiful,
GRACE THANGAMAMI is your good name—so aptly christened;
A ngel of love—your heart with mercy—is so chastened!
M ay the Lord God on you profusely shower
A mple blessings with His infinite power;
N ectarous path way to your progeny may He lay
I n your cottage, with your spouse, peace to stay.

Meditation

When the mind is quiet and in glee,
And of scattered thoughts it is free,
Meditation can be undertaken,
And all sundry thoughts forsaken.

Meditation is an unbroken attention,
In a particular physical position,
And flow of fixed concentration,
With contemplation to a state of intuition.

Meditation brings the mind to clarity,
Whereby therein springs serenity,
All activity is reduced in meditation,
And the mind gravitates to illumination.

Meditation is a virtuous way of life,
Whereby there is control over life,
It entails regulation of the mind,
Negating all wary thoughts that bind.

Music

Music is an art
Music is presided over by the Muses
Music combines sounds in a pleasing way
Music has common elements.

Music has pitch and melody
Music has harmony and rhythm
Music has tempo and meter
Music has sonic qualities of timbre.

Music is euphony or sweet sound
Music has harmonious qualities
Music is inspirational
Music opens the soul.

Music is energizing
Music is enriching
Music makes one happy
Music is relaxing.

To dear KASTHURI-The Darling days-Poem-4

POEM-4

The Darling Days with KASTHURI

Oh! those darling days!
When we sat beside
Each other, and worked our ways
With our Accounts' wide!

Oh! those happy hours!
Which we together passed—
Among the blooming flowers
Which in the breeze were tossed!

Oh! those molten moments!
When heart and heart sincerely spoke
Of the ‘Joys' and ‘Laments'
With which we were affected and broke!

Oh! that splendid time!

The Happy Old Man from Mozambique

I saw an old man from Mozambique

He always giggled -fiq fiq

His eyes were caves his nose was like a brinjal

His cheeks were pools and his Adam's apple was a ball

He didnot sleep for nights together

He didnot eat for days and nights together

His tummy was hollow

But his face was mellow

And alight with happiness

He beat his breast and bragged that

I Exist Amidst A Thick Overgrowth Of Luxury

i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury

&

i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury

and a dense undergrowth of affluence-

i can touch, feel and gape in wonder

but i have no rights at all to enjoyment-

yes, i am a slave girl born to toil and clean;

showered in abuses and punishment

A Successful Woman

When a man wishes to enter the wedding altar,
He chooses to have a traditional wife
Who cooks, cleans and is submissive without strife.

When he is unable to make both ends meet,
His pecuniary condition becomes his grouse,
And he sends for employment his spouse.

To the family ‘s income streams—she adds,
And with the finances now more secure,
A part he saves, and a house, he does procure.

She is better exposed to the world,
And has knowledge to discuss with her husband
About the investments in the best fund.

The children are no more molly coddled,
They become spirited and independent,
And learn to be more brave and confident.

Oh! my Kasthuri!
My dear, dear friend!
My beloved, revered, a God-send!

A gem of lives few
Who attained full nobility true!

Love is not love

Love is not love when you fall in love

The love poems that are littered in every literature

Are sheer cries of the egotistic flesh

For the gratification of the self at the cost of the addressee

Hence love poems in the right sense of the term

Are seldom composed by the youth

Love is love only when it seeks the happiness of the addressee

Not to gratify the egotistic senses of the addressor

It is the grandfather who knows true love

With him all the children are dear ones

Nose

No one cares for the nose

To go nose straight is the tao

If there were no eyes

You could see better with your nose

If there were no nose

you wouldnot distinguish the sweet from the bitter

And there would be no value judgements in the world

And it is the nose that keeps you hot in the cold

And that keeps you cold in Jakodabad

The nose is the vigilant customs officer
