Grand Mother

My poem Grand Mother is published in famous Children's magazine "Reader's Club Bulletin" (National Book Trust ,India).

DEDICATED TO SWEETIPIE;

Never seen an image as u,

Never met a person lyk u,

I know u r with me always,

But still I wish u were here,

Still I feel Ur presence everywhere.

Can’t think of maths without u,

Can’t enjoy Pi’s life without u,

U r & will b my inspiration,

I’ll always b wanting from u,

A never ending motivation.

U r sitting too far,

And here…I’m sitting,

Missing Ur tight scolding;

Missing Ur slight slaps,

And the moments while studying,

When u dozed off 2 get some naps.

Ur anger-melting smile

Is missed by me,

Ur voice is missed too,

And m madly trying

To become lyk u.

U made me smile whenever I cried,

U helped me out whenever I struggled,

And today when I did maths

It made my mind getting puzzled.

Now I can just wish

For Ur endless happiness.

But still I’ll really miss

Those notorious moments with u;

As my wish for u,

Won’t fill my loneliness.

Again I wanna say,

Dat I know u r with me always

But still I wish u were here;

Still I feel Ur presence everywhere.

With endless love,

To my sis.

Who is & will be mine in the coming ages that I’ll live.

Thoughts

They dwell in our minds,

They stay in our hearts,

These special feelings,

Are known as thoughts.

Thoughts may comes,

Thoughts may go,

They never need permission,

For ever presence to show.

Thoughts can make someone happy,

Thoughts can make someone sad,

’Coz thoughts are feelings,

Sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Pursue your thoughts,

Listen to your heart,

If you wanna be true,

In life’s every part.

So, never blame your thoughts & never think wrong,

’Coz wrong thoughts may stop your life’s merry song.

World Tour

Chicken,rat and beetle were good friends.They always helped each other in times of problems.One morning they were playing in a field.Suddunly they saw a frog was coming towards them.He was jumping furiously.

Chicken asked him,‘friend seems like you are in a hurry.Where are you going?’

     ‘I am on a world tour.’frog told proudly.

‘Wow... world tour....?can we join you?’ant asked him in verySweet voice.

‘Why not...?In fact i was searching for some friends who could join me on this tour.I will be happy if you all accompany me.’frog Answered cheerfully.

‘Ok...let’s go with him.We will also see the world.’chicken said.Ant eager to explore the outside world said, ‘yes yes..the world is a very very big place.We will see new things in this tour.’

     Finaly they all started thier tour.After a long run of hundreds of miles they reached at bank of a beautiful lake.

              

 ‘O my God...this pond is so big...’rat exclaimed in amazement.‘Pond...my dear friend,it’s not a pond.It’s a big lake.’beetle told him.

‘O.K..brother...but how will we cross this lake?asked ant,getting a little worried.‘Very simple...we can swim across the lake.’...frog suggested.

Then rat,chicken,ant and bettle all four said, ‘but we don't know swimming..my friend.’

Frog laughed on them and said, ‘you don't know swimming then go back to homes.’ And he jumped in water.

All four friends disliked his rude behavior.They felt very upset.After deep thought they started searching for a way to solve this problem.

          After long prosses of thinking and discussion,they found a way. All friends dispersed in different directions for some time. 

After an hour they met again.Rat brought a skull of chestnut. 

Chicken came with some big leaves of papaya.

And  ant returned with a small stick.Beetle came at the last with a long thread.

                        All friends started making a boat.They fixed the skull of chestnut,the papaya leaves were tied to the thread like a row. And within no time,they successfully made a beautiful boat.

         

Ant cried with joy, ‘Now we can cross the lake.’

The boat swiftly drifted lake’s water and the four of them sat peacefully in the boat.Rat started rowing the boat slowly.and the boat moved towards it’s destination.
