FIRST MEET




It was one fine day when I was all alone sitting inside our home on the sofa and cherishing few of my old but sweet memories. Meanwhile my mom rushed inside the house with great excitement. Before I could ask her the reason for this she started telling me that a month old puppy of Pomerin breed was kept for sale in a nearby pet shop and asked my opinion about purchasing it. Now I was much exited than her. Soon we decided to go to the shop, see it.

Throughout that short journey of mine from my home to shop I had many different imaginations about the puppy and the manners I wished to teach it if we purchase etc etc etc.....

When we stepped down the car and started walking towards that shop our curiosity was highlighted in our face. As we entered the shop the owner of the shop took us to the place where a puppy was kept captive in a big bird cage placed on the floor. It was lying on the basemen of the cage with pale face. As soon as it saw us it stood up stiff with ears straight and a great glow on face, looked at us with the eyes filled with hopes that we will take her out from bin captive and shaking its tail, with a small tongue lagging out of its mouth. ‘Oh god..She was just awesome’. No words can describe that moment perfectly. It was just one minute I saw her, there was no option of moving without her. I was very happy taking her home along with me.

This was all about the first meet of me and my sweet and cute pet whom I call Simy (or Shona), who steals the heart of almost all visitors of my home along with that of our family members by her sweet cum naughty behaviours and accent.

Naturality v/s Artificiality

Man’s ability to achieve more,
Resulted in reality to be no more.
Today we get plastic roses,
And also many artificial maizes.

But roses with no fragrance,
Makes a lot of difference.
And maizes with no taste,
Is actually a dead waste.

Artificial flowers may add beauty,
But never it is eco-friendly.
And a fan may spread air around,
But never it gives a feel of breeze.

Naturality is a Gods creation,
And artificiality, man’s alteration.
Man’s alteration proves his thinking power;
God’s creation proves, it is always better.

BLIND BELIEF

Trusting in something is belief. 
Wrong belief in something, 
Which in the name of tradition, 
 Followed by us is blind belief.
                           Belief is must in humans,
                           And blind belief is the worst.
                           Thus believe in the worst,
                           Only if it has hidden best.
                                     
Blind belief is a social evil,
Which makes society rust.
Do not  help this worst,
To make society its nest.

Corruption

Corruption is a demon,
Please don't be demoniac.
I accentuate it again,
Please don't be demoniac.

Do abstain yourself,
From this absurd act,
And help to defecate,
This filthy economy.

It's better to create a,
Feeling of endearment,
Instead of being corrupt, and
Create a situation of danger.

By your sweet words,
You can dazzle humans.
But not the Almighty;for
He looks at you ever and anon.

You are really a tyke,
If you take a bribe,so...
For money's sake, don't be
A mad as march hare.

I accentuate it again,
Don't be the reason,
For economies destruction,
Please don't be demonic.

Life is all about...?!!

Life begins with our birth,
And ends with our death.
Life is not all about birth,
Nor it is about the death.

A life is all about...
The person whom you care for,
Your feelings whom you share with,
May be your family/friends/dear ones.

A life is also about...
Your enemy Whom you hate,
Who always laughs at your fate,
For every hardships you face.

A life is all about...
Wonderful moments you spent,
That most in world haven't,
But right now in your memory's tent.

A life is also about...
Few bad situations that you met,
Which made you hit your head,
By thinking-"Oh God... whats next?".

A life is all about...
A silly argument with your friend,
Which within few days comes to end,
And shows your relationships strength.

A life is also about...
A minute of a single talk,
Which really hurts you a lot,
And sees that you stay apart.

A life is all about...
The good deeds that you do,
Which makes few live for you,
And gives you smile that's new.

A life is also about...
Few unknowingly done mistakes,
That disturbs your mental state,
And fills your eyes with tears.

Birth and death are two points,
And life is an arc connecting them.
The arc may have number of turns,
But ultimately it reaches end point.
