HYACINTH   FLOAT

Meet  you  almost  every day
here , on  river  Gongaa
gliding  up-tide  or  down  -and
floating  day  and  night .

don't know  how  to  admire  you  more
so much  deep  green  and  vital  soft
like  'aborigine -girl , --wild  and  healthy
sliding  up and  down ;  ever  green ,  ever  mobile  !
on  the  liquid  bed  -spread   in  front  of  my  flat !

With root  and  thousands  of  root-let - strings
like  puffy  spread-hair  of  a  country  girl
hidden  and  ever  bathing   under - water
with  your roots ;  yet   with   that  'root-less'  life.

Even  so  detached   from  the  eager  Earth
and  swim  with  tide ;  float  and  flow
Wish  !  -- I  could  be  too ,  like  you
 ever - green  and   with your  vital  flow  !

LOVE :
5  stars

ANOTHER  'OLD  MAN'  &  HIS 'SEA'
==============================
That  was  a  Classic tale  of  long  time  back
This  is  another   old man   of  some  other  tale
who has  revolved  with  the  world   round  the  Sun
for  more  than   Eighty  years   by  now  and to  tell.

His  childhood pond  did  turn  to 'river'
while  he grew  up  happily  on  rural  base
then  his  river  evolved  unto  a 'Sea' or  Ocean  vast
 as he  grew up  more  and  more   with  his  deeper  roots .
Fishing  small  ones  was his  passion and  love
and  tropical   mosquitoes  his   lasting  friends.

Now  in late  life , - was fishing    for  different  kinds
in  so many  oceans   around  the  Globe
the  old man  now  returning  on his own  'life-boat'
maybe, with empty-hands  but  enriched  in  soul.

The  setting  Sun  now   smiling  wide
invites  him  back  to  his  resting den
His  'catch'  was  different in  so many  oceans
He  lost  so much  yet ,  gained    more  different wealth.

He  stored  and  froze  them  inside  his  Soul
This  old  man  has now a  fulfilled  life
All tears   and  smiles   were  too  his  wealth
all  storms  and  scars and  so much  Sun-shine !

NO !  I  COULD  NOT  !

On  my  return  from  evening    walk
through  a  garden ,---  spring-time - rich
with  lengthening    shadows  of   Sun-set  time
slowly  embracing  me .

I  found  a  flower  young  and  sweet
blossoming with  joyous  smile
got  hold  of  it  and  gripped  to  clip  or pluck
and  present  it  to my   wife ; back  home waiting for  me
and   make  this  eve   a memorable bliss
 as  best as  it  could  be.

But    no,  I  could  not  !
-----------------------
Let  this  young  blossom  stay  and  bloom
where  ever  it  found  it's  joy
I  walked  back  home  with  empty  hands
facing  Sun -set  dim   but  then   it seemed
it  was  lovingly warm  and  smiling back  !

GOOD   AND   EVIL

"Life  is  good  or  evil  according  to  the  state  of  mind in which  we  look  at  it ;  it  is  neither  by  itself. 

Fire by  itself , is  neither  good  nor  evil . When  it  keeps  us  warm  we  say -  " how  beautiful  is  fire !"

When  it  burns  our  finger,  we  blame  it. Still  it  is  neither  good  nor  bad . 

According as  we  use  it , it  produces  the   feeling  of  good  or bad ;  so also  is  the  world " .

THE   BALLAD   OF  THE    TRAPPED   STORK

Trapped  and  caught   the  male  stork   cry
it  curses  it's  fate ;  future  sealed  and  sure  to die  
It  cries  out  loud  and  appeal  to  all  the  escaping   bird
to   tell  about  his  tragic  fate   to his   beloved  wife-bird .

The  retreating  birds   flew  back  fast  and told  the  tale
The  wife-stork  heard  ,   cried  and  wept  and  became pale
She  winged  with  speed  to  meet  her  love and  with praying  heart
and   found   poor  stork  trapped  and  caught  and  tossing  hard
The  male - stork  cried , the  wife-stork  wept and  surrounding  land  too  felt
 the  tragedy  in  this  avian  life ;  the  avian  world  , in avian way  was  spelt
The  sky  above  looked  sad and  dry  ;  the  cloud  darkened  there   on  high
the  World  around seemed  doomed  for  them ;   wind  hissed  with  sigh
the  male-stork  trapped  , caught  and  toss , the  wife-stork   weep  and cry
Their  together-world  now  is  shattered , crushed ; yet  time is   passing  by  !
______________________________________________________________
Based  on  a  very  popular  'Folk-Song' of  Bengal ("faande  poriyaa bogaa  kaande"( phonetic spelling  of Bengali )
(Transliteration : Trapprd , -- the   stork  now  cry  and  weep !)

DESIRE

Like   pimple  it  comes  out
Like  prickly heat  it   excites  you
We  want  to  possess  all  or  swallow  in
For --our  ignorance  or   ill-health  is  snubbing   us  too
while  our  desires  are   conceived in  your  mammon - will .

Our   Ego's  tentacled  creeping  growth !
It   always  wants  to  engulf    but  shrinks  to  give
Desire --  the  name  of  its   greedy   out-growth
 however  much   we  trim  it , - will  prop up  or  peep
Desire !  --Nature's  Vital  plan   and    ' Bridal  bed-spread' !

And  can  any one   and  when ,  travel  even  beyond
Higg's  Boson   to find  how  -
 or  who  was  the  cook  ?

The  Grand  Design  without  a  Designer

SPRING   RE-VISITS

Green -grass  now   advancing  like  Carpet-spread
sleeping seeds  all.  --  waking  up  and  peep
Baby  leaves  swing  ; dance  on  branches  with  breeze
sprouting  buds  jump  and  dress up  to  bloom
Sun-shine  soft  with  crimson  smile !

Symphony  of   singing  birds  staged  by  Nature
must  be  Spring -Time , by  my  soul ,  must  be  Spring  !

Young terrorists   are  innocent
Old  ones  are    dangerous   - I  think

Millions  of   voters  are their  stable  fans
 without  them  how  can the  power  grow ?

Blackbuck, Hit & Run Cases: Legal woes of Salman piling on Posted by: Maitreyee Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013, 13:57 [IST] Ads by Google Android Smartphone @ 3999  Buy IDEOS with Tata Docomo & get Free Talktime & Data worth Rs. 1500 tatadocomo.com/3g-Ideos-MobilePhone Find Muslim Life Partner  By The Grace of Allah On No.1 Muslim Matrimony site MuslimMatrimony.com/Register Mumbai, March 23: Bollywood films are known to promote the theory of good prevailing over evil. Now, it is the turn of "real" to imitate the "reel". After actor Sanjay Dutt, it the turn of Salman Khan to prepare himself to face the law for "crimes" committed by him. The Supreme Court on Thursday, March 21 upheld actor Dutt's conviction under the Arms Act, but reduced his sentence from six to five years in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. On Saturday, March 23 a Jodhpur court framed fresh charges against four of the accused and Salman's film industry colleagues in the 14-year-old-long Blackbuck poaching case. The court of chief judicial magistrate, Jodhpur, Saturday read out charges against four Bollywood stars -- Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Saif Ali Khan. However, the court stopped itself from reading the charges against Salman, the main accused of the case, as he was not present in the court. Earlier, Salman got exemption from appearing in the court on the ground that he had to be out of the country for medical treatment. "Salman Khan was not present in the court today (Saturday) as he in not in the country and has gone overseas for treatment," Hastimal Saraswat, Salman Khan's counsel, said. The next court hearing on charges against Salman will be held on April 27. The charges against the accused have been framed under the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 relating to hunting and inciting to poach blackbucks, an endangered species. The actors are likely to face imprisonment of up to six years if they are sentenced guilty by the court. Moreoevr, Salman will appear in person before a Sessions Court in Mumbai in the 2002 hit-and-run case on March 25. The 47-year-old actor will return from the USA on Saturday (March 23) night to appear before the Court on Monday (March 25). On the fateful night of September 28, 2002, the actor allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol had run over his Toyota Land Cruiser on homeless people who were sleeping on the pavement. In the accident one person was killed and four were injured.
