    1. In The Midst Of My Heart……….


In the midst of my heart, I yearn for you

Searching as I get closer to what really keeps me happy day after day

A spirit that keeps it lively despite all realities,

Seemingly thrust upon you to face it despite all afflictions,

In the midst of my heart, I yearn for you

A diamond that has stood the test of time,

A true gem of a kind, a true gentleman with the love

Beholding all hearts with a simple and lively spirit

Cherishing the goodness of a human heart to steadfast it all!!!

In the midst of my heart, I yearn for you

A whole treasury of memories to revisit,

From the cherishable good times to the bad times,

To good visits and trips,

A true sense of love and affection has always been at your side,

Opaque in the delight of luxury and worldly pleasures

Surpassing the true love and hidden motives of it all!!!

In the midst of my heart, I yearn for you

A feel of great pain and separation lies in it’s depths,

To capture the true love that you have always desired,

When boundaries and seas keep us miles apart,

The love that was once desired and yearned for,

Has entered into depths in it’s entirety!!!!       

 

       2. O Stars of the Universe

         

O Stars of the Universe,
Bright and bountiful ye thee;
Shining in thy depths to as far as they can be,
To pave the way of salvation for thy humanity;
O Stars of the Universe,
Small minuscule angels in the night-sky;
A true refuge and our hope in times of despair,
Filled with thy beauty and boundless glory,
To light up hopes of redemption from our ruthless sufferings; 
O Stars of the Universe,
A blessing of God given light and energy,
Spurs you all to shine to your greatest levels possible;
Bring back the true love the world once had,
The true greatness the world once possessed,
Ye has suffered to thy fullest and is desperate for you,
Sacrificed in thy greatest of lengths,
In giving the best it could to mankind,
And has lost it’s spirit; 
O Stars of the Universe,
True beacons of thy creation,
Bring us all together and united,
With a common thread binding us all as one,
Respecting all differences and disparities alike,
Seeking to form a deeper understanding of what humanity truly is,
With a greater realization of the greatness we have in ourselves,
In the verge of changing our lives for the good of all;
The future that has yet to come,
Deserves a better and a promising reality,
With carrying forward the continuity of our civilization,
Filled with better hopes and promises of one,
That in their desire of achieving greatness,
In no way cause damage and destruction,
The repercussions of which shouldn't be felt in the succeeding generations,
But in thee desire to achieve the greatness they can in this world,
See to the goodwill and well-being of all elements of thy Earth;
Just as beloved Mother Nature,
Blessed upon us and the future that has yet to come,
Abundance of fruits and resources to sustain us all,
A life-long happiness to fill us with,
Demanding upon a greater respect for thy generosity 
O Stars of the Universe,
Provide us all with another chance,
To prove to you that we truly desire;
A healthy and a self-less Mother Earth,
An exemplary having given us all we truly desire;
Release us from the shackles and the chains,
That tie us to the ground and the depths beyond it,  
As we reconstruct ourselves and our new-founded realities.....


       3. O Light Of Lights


O light of lights come to me,

Show me thy love covered by thy eternal grace,

Far from all oblivion,

Opaque from all distress

In search of true love and healing thee desire;

O light of lights come to me,

An honor to be in thy midst,

Filled with eternal blissfulness and vivacity,

To redeem thee of all thy sufferings and torments,

Thou hast undergone and has offered it to you;

Fill me by thy grace,

To endear all that is ahead of me,

All that is to come;

O light of lights come to me,

You have been my redeemer, in who I trust,

My vindicator having fought all my battles for me,

The light you have guided ahead of me,

In my oppressed times and times of agony and despair,

Come before me I ask of you,

And listen now to the prayers I ask of thee,

As you provide in me a lifelong grace to help me,

Run as I can with all my might,

In the hope of salvation from thy despair;

O light of lights come to me,

A strong bond between you and me,

An amalgamation of all the true,

Good times and bad times,

Sorrows and joys,

A true love for you lies in the depths of my heart,

Left untouched and un-noticed,

By the world around me;

But it is you who I truly entrust,

The key to my heart,

The key to my eternal soul,

That you might seek for yourself,

Thou light of lights and,

Open my heart, my mind,

To thy fullness in you,

Thy eternity in you,

As a true messenger of peace,

A true messenger of love,

For all the generations that have come,

And to those that have yet to come,

An everlasting blessing you endow upon them,

That they may live to see your light shine brightly,

Like the stars in the galaxies,

At millenniums away,

And be filled with thy infinite goodness and love,

To ever last them forever and ever….. 

    4. Alas the day


Alas the day has arrived, 

For weeks and months,

Of daily toil and solitude,

Of great hopes and desires,

Of great expectations and relentless endearing,

Leaving blank and empty spaces,

For a light at the far end of the tunnel..

 

Alas the day has arrived,

Journeying through life clueless,

Of anonymity and undisclosure

From long-lost days to long-lost nights,

A thought has remained,

Buried deep in the cores and centres,

Of the wide-encompassing mind....

 

Alas the day has arrived,

A feel of great joy and fulfillment

As days long waited and desired

Have finally arrived

At the helm of,

A great day,

A great season,

A great year,

A great place,

A great family.....

 

4. A Badge Of Honour


 

A badge of honour here it is
With great and admirable respect pave to thee,
In halls of wisdom and halls of honour
Come forth I ask, ye heart full of gold...

A nation hast he paved in thy midst
A thriving economy a flourishing country
Connecting cultures connecting minds
Connecting religions connecting hearts
From grassroots to the higher echelons..
Alas I breathe him no more...

An enterprising leader,
A unifier,
A visionary,
A catalyst for growth,
For change,
For the good,
For the betterment of all,
And all the future that was near to come..
From the deepest of hearts,
To the greatest of people,
Criss-crossing cultures and identities,
To our dearest leader,
We wish you peace, solace and a safe abode in the highest of heavens..
May your light shine to inspire us all,
And the generations that are yet to come...
For long and for the greater good,
Forever and ever...

 

5. Cheers to the New Year!

       

          Cheers To The New Year,
Beautiful, bountiful and bright!
Good bye to the good old,
Year of sorrow and plight..
Cheers to a fresh beautiful,  
Season of joy and happiness,
Of good times and good days,
To new adventures and milestones,
I wish you the best and plentiful,
For the forthcoming year,
And the months to follow going ahead...
Cheers to the brand New Year,
2023 it is we have,
Hopes and desires,
Resolutions and prayers,
Goals and Ambitions,
The Almighty we bestow upon you,
From time immemorial as always,
From villages and towns
To cities and metropolises
From nations and continents,
And to the whole world,
I wish each and every one of you,
A happy and prosperous,
A joyous and wondrous,
A thoughtful, memorable and momentous, 
New Year 2023!! 

 

      6. Alas the man...


 













 

Alas the man...
Looming from street corner to corner
From taverns to cafes
An ebullient gem of men sure was he
Encoring the multitude of villagers with his artistic talents 
As he beheld audiences far and wide..

Alas the man
Journeying from conscious to subconscious;
Yielding to the demons
As they slowly took over and ruled 
The Depths and core of his personality 
Losing touch with the familial bonds
That split apart amidst 
The big reputation far and wide..

Alas the man
Sad t'was to say
From a gem of man;
To a life of misery
The reality it was he paved
Led him to the 
Destiny he now lives above inevitably...

The Pulao in the Making

It was a Sunday afternoon of another weekend in Goa. Coming home from the long ardous journey, I spent a few minutes sifting through the pages of the local daily.  All of a sudden, I was taken aback by the sumptuous aroma of a Goan dish that filled the entire household as my mum set off to prepare it as part of a huge spread for the feast day. I have no words to describe my love and fascination towards this dish that I now proudly consider on such days as T.G.I.P.D - Thank God It's Pulao Days. With its strong aroma - a culmination of the spices of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves - 'pulao' is but one of the dishes that has grown to occupy a prominence in many Goan households on feast days. Driven by the aroma it brings in, everytime my mum has prepared it, I also drew a liking towards this delicacy. After a lot of convincing with my grandmother, I was finally granted my spot in the vast expansive kitchen. As it is customary in most households, men are not accustomed to be in the...

The Arrival Of The Monsoon King

It has suddenly turned dark. The skies have turned dull and the trees with their lofty branches and extended family sway as the wind keeps passing on and off, a signal of a forthcoming storm soon to overtake the surrounding area. The birds stop chirping, the rooster stops crowing in attempts to safeguard and protect itself as the rain rambles it’s way through the hills, all the way to the trees and forests of the low-lying areas. A sudden strike of thunder, followed by the lashing rain and behold…..the monsoon king as he prepares to lay siege over the village, part by part, lane by lane. With great joy and exuberance, he marches around the whole sky, celebrating the victories that he has achieved over the past weeks and months, enough for him to survive the remaining months he has got before he can be finally dethroned by the Winter King.   The farmers in their fields rejoice with glee on his arrival, a plentiful harvest to satisfy themselves and their families thereupon, the ...

The Limits of Being a Human.....

About a day back, I was pondering over an incessant thought that kept going through my mind, over and over again and this was to do with the whole idea of how the pandemic has affected us all as human beings. As I kept deliberating over it, a sudden realization struck my mind which really filled me with a lot of surprise and wonder, as I kept thinking about how could mankind, being blessed with such a great mind and intelligence allow the pandemic to unravel to such an extent so as to have almost brought the world to a complete standstill? How was it that the greatest of the greatest scientists and people with a great intellect couldn't have stopped the spread of the outbreak? As surprising or rather as strange as it sounds, the inherent limitations or weaknesses of being a human was what had in the whole process been revealed to all of us. To elaborate on this, I was just examining two types of subjects we learnt in school- one being the natural sciences focused on natural phenome...
