GOLD

Happy Dhanteras

Whatever situations may unfold,
Gold is sold
On Value it holds.
It offers you bold wisdom
Which helps you mould your inner self.

In the 'instant' age,
Respect is a pact
Making relations compact
Leaving little impact
As it is not given from heart.
Packed in temporary role,
Respect is a leaf that falls off
During trough.
But regard,
Is an eternal guard
That helps in blissful depart.
It seems hard to give regard
Which erupts from rib cage
And leaves vibrations like sage.

Regard helps generate esteem
That has a focused 'venerable' beam
Which makes respect deemed.

Regards naturally brings respect,
But it becomes vulnerable
When 'venerable' beam gets missed
In showing 'instant' respect
Without any regard.

Ergo Respect gets compact

And stays in graveyard
Making one regret
The experience of illusory respect,
While Regard successfully leaves a visiting card
Which always stays as a guard.

Beyond Partial

Beyond Partial

'Wants' create more 'wants',
Thank god! constraints exist
To stop feeding such 'wants'.
Wait! Is it these constraints
Which tend to create more wants?
Yes! it might be.

Blockages of constraints open,
Water of 'wants' flows more than usual.
Then a 'Rational'
Might Lose rationality
And consume beyond saturation.
Arrogant rational being
Goes on a binge
Thinking that the new allocation
Would have a wise tinge,
Failing to understand
Systematic error has its stand.
One must learn,
The working
Of System 1 and System 2
To be truly rational!

Let effortful system work to think-
If given initial constraint
Fulfilled desires,
Then how to make optimum use of the bonus?
Whether to keep feeding illusionary wants
Or to create marvels?
Whether to gain wisdom
Or to keep searching
For new satisfaction levels?
Whether to understand the general equilibrium
Or to keep reaching a higher partial equilibrium
Which avoids other sectors
And seems to have a limited hectare!

'Less of Nature!' Haiku

Less of Nature!

Both sides of the road

Showcased tall buildings

With hoardings.

Root Haiku

                                           

When the roots aren't strong,

Be ready

To get blown.

Error Haiku

We reject the truth and accept the false.

We live by

Committing more and more of

Type 1 and Type 2 errors.

Scarcity Haiku

 There is abundance

When Demand tends to 

Nought.

Living or Surviving

Living or Surviving

Years pass by without expressing

Whether a task gives you a feeling

Of living or surviving.

When one is dealing

It's said that's living,

When one is asked to sit calmly

It's said that's surviving.

In which case are you thriving?

The concepts have changed.

Living became a surviving,

Surviving became a living.

Start thinking,

Are you surviving a living

Or living a surviving?
