Oh,Wealthy Man!
Would it spoil your plan,
"What if" you share,
some of your wealth
with a poor man?
Oh,Mother Nature,the Provider!
Would it spoil your plan,
"What if" you feed every
hungry soul on this planet?
Oh,Rainfalls,the benefactor!
Would it spoil your plan,
"What if" you quench
every thirsty living
entity on our earth?
Oh,Time,the Healer!
Would it spoil your plan,
"What if" you stood still
for a minute,to allow mankind
to introspect for ending wars
and ushering in an era of
peace and happiness for all?
Oh,Nuclear Weapons countries,
Would it spoil your plan
"What if" you eliminate
all your nuclear arsenal
and make this planet Earth
your real Home,free from
fear,domination,false
prestige and power?
Oh,Cricketers of the world,
Would it spoil your plan
"What if" you stopped gambling
So that,Cricket can again
become a gentlemen's game?
Oh,Jesus Christ,my Savior,my Master
Would it spoil your plan
"What if" you were born again
to lead the lost tribes
of our wayward humanity
into the Kingdom of Heaven?

Short Poem:::::::::: "On Biggest"
The biggest laughter
is not the one
with plenty of peals,
but the one when tears
rolled down your cheeks!
The biggest anger
is not of murder,
but,when your heart
failed and you died!
The biggest victory,
is not of medals won,
but is the one of
mind over matter!
The biggest goal
is not of the footballer,
but of the goalkeeper,
saving that match-winning
goal of the opponant!
The biggest wall
is not the wall
of China,but that
which divides humanity!
The biggest heart
is not the one
that only gives,
but never takes!
The biggest enemy
is not outside,
but within you!
The biggest black spots
are not of the Sun
but of your character!
The biggest loss
is not the death
of your wife,but the
breaking of partnership!
The biggest happiness
is not of reason,
but without any reason!
The biggest fall
is not from Mt.Everest,
but from disgrace!
The biggest Bank is not
the one where billiions
are invested,but the
heart of a person
where Humanity can
Bank upon always!
The biggest best-seller
is not the one with
highest number of sold copies,
but the one that has
discovered the mystery
of Homo-Sapiens!

Short Poem::::::::::::: Wheel Of Life
What is this Wheel of Life,
Where every person goes through?
Is it a Merry-Go-Round,
or a Giant Wheel,
or a Tora,Tora,Tora,
Or for that matter a Roller-Coaster?
No one knows how many people ride,
No one knows how many people get off,
Where have they all gone,
Disappeared like ghosts,
never to be seen again?
So long as they were on Wheel,
they were happy,they laughed,
they cried,they were thrilled,
they held their hands to-gather,
in unity,in love,in assurance,
in confidence, in trust,
Now, the Wheel has stopped,
Man is separated from Man,
son from his mother,
wife from her husband,
lover from her beloved,
Alas!,one wished
Wheel should not stop
But, change is a way of life,
where sorrow is followed by joy,
separation is followed by t0-gatherness,
Where,hate is followed by love.
Indeed,life is a Roller Coaster ride,
Enjoy totally that moment!

"Does Journalism Create A Writer in You?"......An Essay
An interesting question and a possibility.First,let us look at what is journalism?A journal is a newspaper,magazine,or any written material prepared like a bounded book.
Journalists usually begin their carrers by enrolling themselves in news borroughs,magazine companies,or just being free lance.They cover a wide variety of news ranging from domestic,police,international and report their data to their respective organisations through which they are associated with.The style of their writing is more news oriented than literary oriented.It is the usual the run of the mill type of writing.No fun,no pleasure of reading anything interesting.Journalists are of the same breed all over the world; their main job is of reporting.Journalists try hard to present themselves as front writers and that is why their writing is head-line oriented.Some instances:::::::::::::::::::
(1) Off-spinner Gibbs 'lances' through India in Test Cricket.
(2) Cheap liquor buys pricey votes.
(3) Hate Netas? Now, you can shoe them away online.
(4) Wolfram Alpha hounds Google.
(5) Now bell the CAT(Common entrance examination) online.
(6) When globism starts going viral(swine flue)
(7) At Kingsmead,all the 'kings' men prevail(IPL cricket)
(8) If you continue sleeping,so will our politicians.Wake up & vote(Ad.on TataTea)
(9) Shilpa's innings with Warne(The actor plans to make a film where Shane Warne
might do a comeo)
(10)A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex(article by Roshmi
Bhattacharya on what happens when you get the wrong guy)
But,a literary writer is cast in a different mould.He goes through many processs,before making a mark as an establishd writer of repute.Just as a good product comes out a good mould,so also,good writers come out of good writings.First of all, a literary writer is a gifted man of letters.He has his original style of writing;he does no imitation.The literary writers's main forte is content;while a journalist's main strength is exciting head-line news reporting,with a bit of 'mirch-masala'.While a literary writer will go on to write a best-seller,a journalist will only succeed in writng a book based on facts & figures;there will be nothing literary about his works.So, a journalist aspiring to be a writer of repute will be difficult.Why? because creativity is missing in a journalist.His mind is trained for reporting only;he has no time to think in a different way as a writer.His writing is mere commentary as in a cricket match.Journalists are like actors,who want to go to direction after sometime.Maybe, they get bored of their jobs or they want to seek greener pastures of a writer of a novel.
So,journalism is only about writing;but a literary content is not about writng only.Its about a passion,a style,an originality,a creativity,fun,joy,beauty,enjoyment,arts................
Now, imagine a highly reputed literature author writing a book.The title of his book will at once reveal his power as a writer.Some example:::::::::
(1) A Wounded India... by V.S.Naipul.
(2) Geetanjali.... by Rabindranath Tagore
(3) 20,000 leagues under the Sea.... by Jules Verne(A classic!)
(4) Dr.Zivago....by Borris Pasternak.
(5) Devdas........by Sarat Chandra
A literary writer will have his own way of writing.His style will be elegant and his conversations interesting.For instance, an ordinary write may say....."Where did you disppear?" ....A literary writer will ask...."Where did you disppear like a ghost?"One can read conversations of novels written by Sidney Sheldon, the biggest crime writer of all time.Or take the case of a literary writer,Sir Walter Scott,He wrote a book:::::Mariamian, A Tale Of Folden Field(1808) Watch his words...
"Oh,what a tangled web we weave,
When first,we practice to deceive."
His content will be polished and well written.
To sum up,journalism does not necessarily create a writer in you,but only report writing and literary content writing.Finally,I would call journalism as business writing and literature as creative writing,valued for their beauty,of form,espaecially for novels,poetry and plays.

India is a country of contrasts.............A poem
India is a country
where everything happens
The good turns into bad,
The bad turns into good,
Or the bad turns into worse,
The worse turns into ugly.
Where an outstation train
reaches Mumbai on time,one day
Only to be told
that it was yesterday's
train the next day!
Where heroes are worshipped
with rose garlands one day,
And garlanded with footwear
the next day!
Where a slumdog becomes
a millionaire to-day,
And millionaire becomes
a pauper on the morrow.
Where friendships are
made every minute
And enemities are
planned every second.
Where deadly bombs go off
without warning at some places,
And fire-crackers are set off
for mundane celebrations at other places.
Where commercial love
is found in sex dens,sea-fronts,
pubs,malls one day,
And a love wired through
the net is born next day.
Where straights indulge
in sex one day,
And gays,pimps,sedomists,
run riot the next day!
Where logic and reason
turn into confusion,one day
A mess is solved in a second,
by a wizard,next day!
Where, dogs are taken
by a car ride,one day
And killed and kicked
about the other day.
Where persons are talking
for the sake of talking
one day,
And deaf and dumb exchange
mutual handsigns, the next day.
Where man encircles
the space, some times,
On another day,
Man struggles to reach
his house safely.
Where,there is joy in
every sunrise,one day,
And sadness in
every sunset the next day.
Where music is loud and lewd
one day,
And soft and spiritual
next day!
Is India a mad country
to-day,
And a sound country
to-marrow?
You answer!

"Does Freedom Bring Innovation & Joy?"---An Essay
Nature is free and yet is bound by law.You feel so much joy,happiness,peace in nature.Anything that brings destruction does not bring in joy and nature knows this very well.It works within the law and yet is free of the law.
Why are there earthquakes,storms,tornadoes in nature?Because,nature is angry that somewhere,some law has been violated and wants to maintain a balance and thus punish the lawbreakers.Who are the lawbreakers?Maybe,someone from the human kingdom,or the animal kingdom or the planetary disturbances in the Cosmos.We cannot pinpoint with certainty that who has broken the law and that is why the catastrophe has followed.It is like a revolving wheel of a cart-horse.So long it is revolving,it is revolving.The moment you put a spoke in the wheel,then all hell will break loose.The wheel will stop revolving,the cart will stop going further and the horses will refuse to run.
Now, what is the law?A law is like breaking one of the ten commandments of Jesus.If you can work within those commandments,you will find happiness and joy.Its like signing a bond with nature and adhering strictly in its implementation.Only those who know the law can go beyond it.However,man on the other hand has lost his way.He equates freedom with unlimited license for indulgence.It is here, that his freedom gets destroyed and his soul gets chained into sin,deprivation,lust,greed,temptation.How to get the soul out of this mess?Understand,that the soul is free and joy is bound by law;it is ironical but true.Let the soul run free in your heart and bring out all the talents,merits,innovation to the fore.This acivity of man brings him more and more in face of the society and this is the true freedom that the man is seeking.
Freedom is totally naked and upright!It does not seek obscurity to reveal itself.Look at nature.The seed in the fertile soil comes out of obscurity to sprout,the bud to flower and the fruit to appear on its branches among its leaves.In the same way,the soul is constantly struggling to innovate,to creat something new and release its talents and this is not to boast itself of its power, but simply for maintaining an intricate and delicate balance in nature.Why does it indulge in all this acitivity?It wants simply to be free and realise itself and contribute to this bounty of nature.Freedom entails responsibility and true freedom is without any pressure and responsibility;it simply is in existence.When this type of freedom is at play,there is a birth of innovation & joy;it is absolutely effortless!

"IS EGO AND SELF INTERCONNECTED?"---AN ESSAY
The first question is: What is ego and self?
Ego is false pride and the self is the real personality of a person.Both are called "I"; but the "I" in ego is false and the "I" in self is real.You can put it this way.....Ego is the devil or saturn and the self is the angel or God.But, now a human being has fallen into a trap!Ego is dominating the self in every aspect of life.... be it in commerce,relationships,inventions,knowledge,study or what not.How was this ego born?Ego was born out of knowledge and not wisdom.Now, what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?Knowledge is what you learn in school or college.Subjects like,history,geography,mathematics is called knowledge.Knowledge will help you to get a job in any company;but it will not help you to live a life of peace,calm or joy.If you require real happiness or bliss,then you will require wisdom.You can get wisdom by training under a spiritual Guruji.He cannot teach you about school subjects,but he can tell you something about the secrets of life like,awareness,meditation,life beyond,sound judgement.These are the real virtues of life which can stablise a person in his personal life and his family.
Knowledge is false information gathered by humanity since the birth of man.Mind you, don't confuse this knowledge with inventions created by scientists.But it is a fact that whenever, a scientist discovers anything new,"I" is born and this "I" is the ego.And when this happens, the mind of man takes a u-turn;it becomes unreasonable,illogical,wrong,and destroys the self, the real "I".
Speaking about self,the self is like God Inc.It has truth,beauty and innocence.How to recognize this truth,beauty and innocence?Truth can only be recognized by the self only when ego is separarted from it.Its like separating water from milk.Once the whole water is drained off from the milk by heating,you get the real milk.Beauty is always within and not outside.All beautiful man-made structures are mirages;they are temporary.Why?Because of possessiveness.Once you want to possess beauty,it is lost forever.You buy an expensive painting at an art gallery,you own it and you hang it on the wall of your bedroom.What happens?After sometime,you lose interest in your painting and beauty is lost.On the other side,observe a rose with thorns in a pond.If you don't possess this natural wonder,you will admire the rose as well as the thorns.Here,beauty creates a kind of adventure,a thrill!And,what about innocence?Innocence is your very nature.Truth and beauty will draw you into deep meditation.Meditation is complete relaxation of the mind,soul and body.Once you are in this state,innocence will be born.Try it!
Ego and self are interconnected.Once you separate ego from the self,you are in bliss,joy,happiness.How to do this? You can do this by just witnessing,watching,observing without any judgement.If you judge even once, the full magic is lost.The mind has become tired of judgement.How many things to judge in life? How many judgements a mind can handle.....a thousand,a million,a billion?Its madness!Now,we want our minds to relax,to rest,to open up,to enjoy silence,which is real rest.When you see the world outside with billions of objects,it has disastrous effect on the mind......it becomes extremely tired,because it has learnt to judge only and critisize and not enjoy.How many things to judge in life and what do we get from judgements.....nothing but misery!What is right,who is wrong,no one can prove;it is all madness,churning in a fake world.Now, we want our minds to rest,to ease,to experience joy and this can be done by just observing,witnessing without judgement.Keep a tab on your mind by strictly telling it not to judge.
Many people want to know what is witnessing?Witnessing is just looking or observing without any judgement.Observe anything in your house....e.g.a chair.Don't judge the chair,don't have a description of the chair in your mind.Just witness as an object of existence.Slowly and slowly,the chair will disappear from your mind.Why has this happened?Because, the mind has become clear,empty and there is only one object,'chair' in your mind.If you have too many things in your mind,then the mind becomes confused;there are far too many distractions for the mind to handle.
Now take an emotion of hate.Don't judge hate;see it as a way of life,be silent,let your mind be cool and slowly, this feeling of hate will disappear.
Consider witnessing as a form of God,who is about to transform you.There is a difference between a witness and a doer.The doer is a corrupted man,full of flaws and no beauty; a witness is a man of existence,like a God.Imagine, among all the noise,dins,sounds,chaos of the world,you are a witness.The noise is there,but the sound is muted;it is like soft music in a very low decibal.You are in the centre of a circle and the full circumference belongs to you.In fact, you become the whole circumference and existence and disappear,become invisible,dead and merge with the universe to become one whole and nothing else.
When this happens,life becomes one big celebration,a party you never want to end!When you reach this stage,a great peace and silence will dawn on you.You become centred with bliss,joy and happiness.You will feel a great burden on you mind being suddenly lifted and an unusual innocence will come over you.You will be like a new-born child in the midst of nature!

When this happens,life becomes one big celebration,a party you never want to end!When you reach this stage,a great peace and silence will dawn on you.You become centred with bliss,joy and happiness.You will feel a great burden on you mind being suddenly lifted and an unusual innocence will come over you.You will be like a new-born child in the midst of nature!
