Poem- A Nature's lover

There are moments when:

things just don't go our way
when everything is in complete disarray
there is no time for laughter or play
All we can do is, sit and pray
for the culmination of this dark day
and for everything to once again become happy and lay.

Frustration, inner conflict, grief and sorrow:
emotions we never love to borrow.
Yet in our lives, these always follow
and make each moment depressing and hollow
so hollow, that even a slight glow
remains unnoticed by our eyebrow.

But, Isn't life a song,
that does not last that long
without giving us time to think what is right or wrong
yet makes us move along 
leaving behind all the variations that throng 
our journey, making us even more mentally tough and strong.


Or is life a flower
that blossoms without looking at the hour
giving the nectar of knowledge to all who seek cover
after a tyrannous shower 
blooming to its fullest even in the darkest hour
the darkness that still has a lot of positive power
something that can be understood only by a nature's lover


Nature's lover...Can I be one!!!

or do only a select few get that privilege?
To find the answer, I needn't go for a pilgrimage
all I need to do is to take a pledge
that I shall always leverage

on the wonderful gifts that life bestows upon me
to live life to the fullest and to be free
from all the constraints that my mind puts with a fee.
To cherish each moment and to never flee
from challenges, as they and only they can make me stand tall like a tree,
braving the storms that come occasionally
and still remain a sight to behold for posterity.

So, let us forget thinking about what is wrong or amiss
or how that target, we did closely miss
instead, let us make the most of those gifts of life that promise
to make us always live in a state of euphoria and bliss!

Tribute to Shri Narayan Rajamani: selflessness personified

There are occasions in life that compel us to pause and reflect on the very meaning of existing as sentient beings in this world. Death is a phenomenon that unsettles even the most spiritually-inclined person. When someone with whom there exists a deep, layered bond suddenly departs for the heavenly abode, it invariably leaves one disoriented. The passing away of my maternal grandfather Shri Narayan Rajamani on the 13th of January 2023 placed me in such a situation. Ever since I was informed about his demise, I have been saturated with thoughts- ranging from the numerous interactions I had with him to the lessons that I constantly derived from his art of living. I desperately have been wanting to write a tribute for my grandpa, but even before I started, I realised that grandpa’s life cannot easily be captured in an article or two. According to Smt. Vijaya Pushkarna, former Deputy Chief of Bureau for The Week magazine and closely associated with Shri Rajamani, my grandfather's lif...

Dadabhai Naoroji- Statesman and revolutionary in his own right

The conventional narrative of the Indian national movement often accords centrality to the non-violent agitation spearheaded by the Indian National Congress. Many moderate leaders from late 19th century have not been given adequate importance given that they believed in 'petition politics' which didn't successfully elicit much popular support. Marxist historians have also shown little interest in studying the lives of these thinkers, who have been shunned as members of a 'bourgeois elite' allegedly collaborating with the British. Such notions have especially gained credence in the light of the perceived success of the non-violent movement. However, such an approach assumes a teleological unfolding of historical events, and ignores the fluid interplay of ideas that contributed to the distinctness of the Indian national movement. The gravitas of this movement can only truly be understood if all these ideological sources are duly acknowledged and thoroughly scrutinised...

Poem- All it takes is humanity

Waves in the oceans are symbolic of transmitting happiness and joy in our surroundings. Life is incomplete without the human expressions of gratitude and appreciation. The ocean exemplifies this by constantly churning out wave after wave, that spread happiness and joy in the surroundings. It was an eerie silence a silence that became my guru a silence that epitomised the colour blue a silence that made me reach out for the world, a silence that made me understand what is undeniable and true! Yes, I was standing on the sea-shore yes, there was a lot of disturbance yes, as people loitered along with discussions galore I remained undeterred, in a state of oblivion and penance Observing the sea, yes I was I closely watched the waves move up and down carrying everything that came along its way along with the electric message of peace, from dusk till dawn. I observed a little longer to find that far away from the horizon the waves were carrying a spec...
