Shayari

Separation is the best inspiration to

Have sorrows in an ink bottle;

A pen with a long nib

Yields into it;

And stand around me broken dreams;

Removing a layer of the heart,

I write a few lines for you

Some times, you call it Shayari…

Free Talk

Here I blame the system, whether it is religious or social, for everything. A jobless man has 20 children from many wives. He made his wives machines of producing children. Shame on the system first! Again the children’s other sister has same fate in different method. He is not only unemployed but a drunkard also. How he gets money to drink? His wife was compelled to pay him. She also did not allow the children to register a case against him. All to protect the pati parameshwar or polygamy syndromes. People are allowed to misuse many verses in the name of religions. If we don’t look at crux of the issue, we don’t reach proper solution.



Look at the orphanage where the children were supposed to be rehabilitated. The management of the orphanage may get sufficient donations. Even then they serve a single meal a day for the poor children. Sheer exploitation is visible.



The rich brother-in-law is a victim of avarice. At least he could have arranged a better orphanage where the children could survive. Relation has no value when it is listed in the share markets. Ultimately, the sufferers are always hapless and helpless.

Lab test

I am still in the lab

With my microscope;

Slides are many

With blood samples;

Colour is same

But in different groups;

That is the usual test result

But today,

I have some new samples

From all the continents;

The microscope gets bored

And my eyes wonder

To see the same features

On all the slides

No groups, nothing different!

That is the result of tears!!!

Some Weakenesses

I may be an atheist
Or an agnostic
But,
I wake up on the right side
I enter the places by right leg
I give out anything by right hand
I touch the feet of elders
For a new thing to start;
I stand up in respect
As and when my teachers pass by;
I vacate my seat for elders
When I see them as standees
Don't you think
That some peculiar things
are still deep rooted in me?
Maybe all branches of science are unfit
To take out such things from me
These are some weaknesses
Which galvanize my strength..

Mallick ji, There is no such character as Sakuni in the Mahabharat, but there is Goofi Paintal with his game of dice. . If I read or hear about the name Sakuni now a days, straight away Goofi Paintal comes into my mind with his body language and sterling performance. Thank you for sharing his famous dialogue. However, the ultimate victory goes to the truthfulness of Yudhisthir, negotiating the temporary disadvantages. That is required, because of sambhavaami yuge yuge…

I love your weaknesses, Prem ji. Your poem remind me of a statement by Sakuni in Masoom Raza Rahi's Mahabharat, 'Bhanje, truthfulness of Yudhisthir is his weakness. Let us take advantage of it.' It rings in my ear to this day. Best regards,

Neerali

The cartoon inspired me to write some more.







Now a days I charge in Dollars”, said the palmist

Excuse me, I was not aware of this”, replied the fortune seeker

Earn more and more by fooling people”, said the parakeet in depression

Reaching the card, the octopus told the parakeet:

All of a sudden you became a moralist by blaming your boss.”

Look at me, if it was all true, I would not have held such a placard now

I mean, I could have foreseen to save my bread from you”, said the parakeet.

To whom it may concern

God orders:

“Give him a hand”

They cut off a hand

Give him a hand means

Help him

They don’t know

Even the meaning

Of the phrase

Then how will they be able to know

The meaning of the holy verses…?

Lesson is for them,

Who don’t take lessons
