Socio-Biological Harvest Date - 25/10/93

Socio-Biological 'Harvest

There are so many sciences
At back of modern man
To help him solve
His simple and puzzling problems.

For correct social intercourse
Sociology is there,
For offence-free conduct
Jurisprudence is there.

For earning his daily bread
With honesty and hard work
Economics is there provided
he know the play of demand and supply.

For pushing his income
above the million mark,
He has to rely heavily
On the accountant's wizards.

For probity in public life,
'Moral' guidelines are there,
Adhere - he wont be talked about
Stray - he will become the 'talk of the town!'.

For his abnormal behavior
Sophisticated tools are there,
 To peep and probe into his mind
Through the science of psychology.

For the well-being of his body
Science of medicine is there,
'Allo', 'homeo', 'naturo', pathis
With expert doctors everywhere.

For seeking salvation
'Theology' is there
With religious postiffs
Acting as God's agents right here

But despite all these instant aids,
Why man is not happy?
Because he has distanced himself,
From inner self, truthfulness and Godness.

So tensions, jitters restlessness,
Constant hankering after whims,
never satisfied for'ver yearning-
Are the fruits harvested by him.

A peep into Planets - Date 1.1.2002

A peep into Planets.

Let us start with the SUN
The ‘King’ of all planets,

He symbolizes the vital forces

He represents the ‘soul’,
By nature, he is cruel
By caste, he is Kshatria, with golden reins.

Next cat-walks on the ramp madam MOON
The ‘beauty queen’ among the planets,
She symbolizes the ‘mind’
And represents feelings, emotions and passion
By nature, she is fickle
By caste, she is ‘Vaisya’ with silver sash.

Enter amid tight security- JUPITER
The ‘Prime Minister’ in solar system,
He symbolizes material and spiritual matters
He represents wisdom and happiness
By nature he is benefic
By caste, he’s ‘Brahmin’, having honey eyes.

Now trumpets herald the entry of MARS
The Commander-in-Chief in full uniform,
He symbolizes war and military affairs
And represents courage and physical strength.
By nature, he is cruel and malefic
By caste, he is ‘Kshatriya’, wearing many medals.

Next walks in with poise and grace – VENUS
The comely ‘goddess of love’,
She symbolizes artistry, beauty, sensuality and style.
She represents lust and passion
By nature she is benefic,
By caste, she is ‘Brahmin’ with instincts feminine.

Then follows the fast-moving Prince MERCURY
The ‘Messenger of the gods’,
He symbolizes the power of commanding other planets,
He represents the mind and the intellect.
By nature, he is either benefic or malefic,
By caste, he is ‘Shudra’, and ironically impotent!

Lastly peeps through the horizon- SATURN
The stern task-master and teacher,
He symbolizes system, order and persistence
He represents discipline, discretion and faithfulness;
By nature, he is malefic,

By caste, he is low-born but most feared planet.

Quest For Youth

Quest for youth - - Date - 6/1/2003

Look! how obsessed they are
Today's men and women in their forties,
They abhor the march of old age
To ensure their career and sexual opportunities.

So they go in quest of the elixir
The 'eternal' fountain of youth,
They find that in modern medicines
Tucked inside plastic surgeon's booth.

The first treatment starts with
The 'Harmone' injections,
For better skin, muscle and sex
Followed by 'Botox' injections.

So there is a boom in this business;
Determined to avoid signs of ageing,
They pop in 100 Vitamin pills a week,
And practise tummy tucks at week endings.

Over one lakh in their mid-age
Daring not to face the mirror
Rush from one Doc to another
To cheat the world and look younger !

But how foolish are they
Knowing that ever-green no one stays,
They giggle they're cheating the world
But in reality they're only cheating themselves !

I'm a Kargil Widow

I'm a Kargil widow

I'm a Kargil widow
I lost my man in the battle
He was such a brave and young soldier
Who died for his country, without rattle.

When home they brought my husband dead
I couldn't control my emotions,
But i hardened my heart and held back my tears
Lest it may devalue his sacrifice.

Days rolled by, brooding my future
With him, how i and my children,
Will pull on in this cruel world?
Oh God! Widowhood is truly a life long pain.

But like a silver lining in dark clouds
Bug bosses started knocking at my door
Bringing sympathy, flowers and cheques.
And assuring me of all help and sore.

It's nice of our government
To try for our rehabilitation
But strangely , i am caught in the cross-fire
Between my family and in-laws friction.

The bone of contention is the money!
Not less than fifteen lakhs in cash,
While I try to plan for my future,
My in-laws and parent tug at my cash.

Wail my in-laws, they lost their son,
As well as their bread and butter,
Look! they tell me to marry his brother,
to retain the bucks from leaving the house.

Rue my parents, our daughter is now a widow,
We spent so much for her marriage,
I guess they too have an eye on my wads,
so they cajole me to shift here, bag and baggage,

I'm in a fix, knowing not what to do,
Both want me to remain with them,
But i can now see through their game,
"Make me part with my money" - is their aim.
