What's a head, without a hat ?

Do this, and do that
Stay lean, and be fat
Here goes a rabbit, there a cat
What's a head, without a hat ?

Hey anti-national you !

Hey anti-national you
You are not free
Till we see
You in our colour
Saffron or you collar.

The Nation wants to know

The Nation wants to know
Its protectors' home country
Now since everyone else is
Anti-national.

Toothache

A toothache
Reminds one
Of being
One.

Being blind is sight

Might is right
The right is right
In this holy land of ours
Being blind is sight.

Let's beat them up

Let's beat them up
Those wanting to discuss
The culture of beatings
Pray, what's the fuss ?

Elements of Direction

He was shy
And she was not
Until they came along
And the film was shot
Ten shots that shone
One repeat, eight alone.

All one has is the now

The past is gone
The future yet to come
All one has
Is the now, and some
Memories and fears
Laughter and tears.

Wisdom for a Saturday

Wisdom for a Saturday
Sunday follows
So would Monday
That's life, no ?

Aaj pyaar ka din

Aaj pyaar ka din
Kal uski hai raat
Parson saugaat
Dushmani ki
Kyon na hum...
Pyaar karen kum
Aur dushmani aadhi
Baat hai seedhi sadhi.

आज प्यार का दिन
कल उसकी है रात
परसों सौगात
दुश्मनी की
क्यों न हम
प्यार करें कम
और दुश्मनी आधी
बात है सीधी साधी

Love is in the air

Love
Is in the air
So is suspended particulate matter.

And God gave Gujarat its Diu

And God gave Gujarat its Diu
High on Mount Abu.

Be the judge and the jury

The more you would care
Of what they would think
The less you can float
And the more you would sink
Be the judge and the jury
Of your sound, and your fury
Or better still; just chill.

Thus we shall die in debt.

Living the past
Leaving the present to the future
Thus we shall
Die in debt.

Life Is a four letter word

Life
Is a four letter word
Occasionally five
Too much, no ?

Madhumeh bhara man

Jeevan hai mere dost
Tamasha to nahin
Sare aam banten jo
Batasha to nahin
Batashe mein bhi to kuch
Hoti hai mithaas
Madhumeh bhara man
Ye batata to nahin

जीवन है मेरे दोस्त
तमाशा तो नहीं
सरे आम बंटे जो
बताशा तो नहीं
बताशे में भी तो कुछ
होती है मिठास
मधुमेह भरा मन
ये बताता तो नहीं

My uncertain self

I wasn't sure
Of my uncertain self
Till I looked into the mirror
And saw me calm.

If life were simple

If life were simple
One would complain
Of it
Now since its not
Enjoy
The hit
Below the belt
True as felt.

Checking on Incredible India

Incredible India
Is what I see
Their answer sheets
Of common sense free
Then they get in
And make some noise
At first they were dumb
Now throw their voice.

Judging the past

To judge the past
With today's eyes
Is as inaccurate
As stars in the skies
Visible during the day
Come what may.

Flying

01
Flying
Is a necessary evil
Quite unnecessary
For staying put.

02
If only one could fly
In the mind
And be there
In the body
Real flights
Are so shoddy
Much ado about a plane
Snail's sprint in the fast lane.
