Amir Khan understand

Once upon a time
Not so long back
India was not great
With NRIs quite slack
But now they are awake
Can organise grand show
With us in their heart
After they had a go
In running away
From tolerance holding sway
Long live mother land
Amir Khan understand.

Tolerant India

Tolerant India
Has announced a war
As we are
Like Anupam Kher
Mitti ka sher.

Holy cow

I will not tolerate
Your intolerance
Towards mine
We are fine
India is great
Let me state
Fall in line
Rest and dine
Anything but cow
Enough for now.

FTII

Can I be heard
Or be the herd
That is a question
A hard one.

How to write a poem in a rush.

How to write a poem
In a rush
Hush
Here comes one
Was it fun ?

When greatness had no cure

Perhaps perhaps just perhaps
It was absolutely sure
I was meant for greater things
When greatness had no cure.

I want to take a selfie

I want to take a selfie
That has me in the frame
In manners I find able
To put me in the game
Of strife and what does shine
In fetters made online.

Terrorism

To understand terrorism 

One has to understand terrorism

Of the individual, and of the state

Of the prisoner and the gate.

Aaj Jab Dekh Peeche Man Karta Hai

Infatuation is better than love

Infatuation is better than love
Love is better than hate
Hate is where you eventually arrive
When infatuation can no longer wait.

Best way to test

Best way to test
Us in human term
Watch how we treat
Elderly and infirm.

I breathe and live and breathe

I am quite a flawed person
Flawed in everything save one
I breathe and live and breathe
Many times, and with efforts none.

A Photo it is

This is a Photo
Of what may have been
Of lands unseen
Of awards not won
At night, in the sun
An infant in the buff
Easy, often tough
This is a Photo
For you to like
Share and strike
Up a score
For me to bore
You with more.

Is Baat Mein Hai Dam Ke Tu

Wisdom

Absence
Makes a heart skip a beat
Presence
Does that and more
For sure
Until wisdom.

If I were not so bright

If I were not so bright
In being plain dumb
I would have been smart enough
And not felt so numb
To the incoming chill
That fits your bill
Of hate.

Kal Ki Chinta Kyon Hai Karta ?

Plans

A day has 24 hours
A life has many
A plan has much more
But it doesn't move any.

Now that I am a Principal

Now that I am a Principal
Faculty of a kind
I can be wished
Not that I mind
For if I had one
One that's on top
I would have long said
Thank yous non stop
So here is to me
And my dear likes
You make my day
As the night strikes.

Once upon an optimist

I was for long
An optimist
Now I opt
For the mist
Of time
To rhyme
With reason.

A lifetime to learn

A lifetime to learn
And a lifetime to live
A lifetime to yearn
An other to give.

Life

A double edged sword
With its handle missing
Life is.
