99.Appeal

Higher education is losing its appeal
Quick money gives youth a good feel.
Lost are the days when education was for knowledge
Today money keeps each student on edge.

Windfall gain pulls the youth brigade
Making them forget, knowledge will never fade.
Misguided youngsters are  lured by glitters
Pearls of wisdom are caste away in a jitter.

Knowledge has been laundered with
Happiness can be purchased is their myth.
Money appears to set life’s pace
Like horses with blinds they run life’s race.

Scores of post lie vacant today
With higher education losing its appeal.
Proper guidance will ignite their mind
Paying rich dividends all their life.

98.Vagabond Heart

Vagabond heart
Searches insane
Captive mind
Asks to restrain.
Did someone call
Or was it my heart
Pounding with want.
Hallucinating day and night
To be understood
By loved one's in daily strife
Longing to make each moment
Memorable and Beautiful in life.

97.Right To Education


Norms of ministry

Lacks all chemistry.

Education for all

Is a mere protocol.

Stuck with structure

And mundane fixture

Education in this nation

Stands with a  puncture.

Promises of free ration

Can no longer sustain.

The nationals

Have learnt it the hard way

Quality education comes

By burning holes in their pocket.

Blind to the needs of generation next

Government still makes silly rules

On every pretext

When in their own schools

They miserably fail.

Right to Education

By 31st March 2013

Has been a farce.

Yet they plan  closure

Of low budget private school

On infrastructural base;

Putting this nation on a rough track

With dreams of education lost in its crack.

96.Women

Women young and old remember your worth
Your sphere is vaster than the sphere on earth.

Give in your best to rise above nebulous hour.
Set yourself free from the trap of archaic mind frame.

Tussles of life draws out your strength
Making you rise above all resistance at length.

Trials and tribulation are the faces of your joy
You Cradle world's pains without being coy.

The inner beauty you emanate sets you apart
Amazed stands the world by your unfettered perseverance.
