337. Cracking

Cracking crude crevices
Ruining ruled  remittances
Rummaging ruffling rife
Lewd life lull.

336.From Dusk to Dawn

Ah!  What a day it will be

When humans will beat the summer heat

And stop perspiring profusely
By reversing their timetable
From Dusk to Dawn. 

Work and leisure
Will of course remain

The working hours 
Will however interchange
From Dawn to Dusk. 


Chirp of birds will signal sleep
Star lit night will make us glee
Dazzling moonbeam will show us way
As we rise to start our day
From Dusk to Dawn.

With gleaming eyes and faces bright
Children will turn up in schools
To Study in the hours cool
And play games with delight
From Dusk to Dawn.

Demand for AC and coolers will dwindle slightly
Cooking will once again be a pleasure
Swimming in moonlit pools will be heavenly
In work we will find leisure
From Dusk to Dawn.

Seeing the humans snore
Wild cats,reptiles zebras and boars
May venture out of the jungles in scores
To check our development daily
From Dawn to Dusk.


So, relax and enjoy the view 
If you happen to see
Friends from the wild
Walking fearlessly in your garden and streets
From Dusk to Dawn.

Ah! Indeed it will be a historic day 

When amendments will be made 
In the regulation of A.M, P.M
With the rise in global warming

From Dawn  to Dusk.

335.Windfall gain

The secret was her's

Buried permanently;

She had conceived 

And received

A priceless gift

To call her own

Without ever measuring 

The windfall gain.

Destiny had a different plan

Blood soaked petticoat 

Mocked her loss

Pain numbed her 

Yet lips remained sealed

It never revealed 

The sordid state 

It went through.

She jealously

Guarded her privacy

Without expecting

Any understanding,

Pity and sympathy.

In the tower of loneliness

She relived every moment

It was her Windfall gain.

334.Emergency

Lined up at emergency

Searching for hope

Life does zip pass

Mocking each breath. 

The battle for survival

Moves in frenzied  swirls

While the fortunate click

Gracing different shows. 

Emergency emerges 

Engulfing eloquent etiquettes

Placid parity paces 

Show goes on and on.

लाल लाल गाड़ी

करब हमहुँ  सवारी।

कीनब लाल गाड़ी।

हॉर्न बजाबे सुकुमारी 

चमकइत लाल  गाड़ी 

अछि बढ़  दुलारी । 

बाबू लेब  गाड़ी 
हमर लाल गाड़ी।

332.BANGLES AND MIRRORS

THE ARRAY OF DAY LIGHT KISSES HER FACE
DRESSED IN SIMPLICITY
 SHE FLASHES HER TRANSLUCENT SMILE 

THAT IS HARD TO IGNORE.

VIBRANT COLOURS STEAL THE SHOW

DAZZLING THE ONLOOKER 
IN SEARCH OF FANCY CARVED MIRRORS 
AND TINKLING BANGLES TO ADORN. 

SHE CALLS OUT TO THE WOMENFOLK

 WITH A HOPE OF CAJOLING THEM TO BUY

HER DISPLAY OF BANGLES AND MIRRORS
AND EEK OUT A DECENT LIVING FOR HERSELF .

331.Faith

Faith, do not ebb away
Mortifying the bud
Even before it has bloomed.

Faith,  nurture the bloom

Like the exotic desert flower

Amidst thorns and pricks.

Faith,  help to protect
The life nurtured zealously
Away from the evil clutches.

Faith, do not punish,
Coalesce our destiny
Allow us to rest in your lap.

Faith, do remain faithful
In you rest's our faith
To smooth out the roughest.
