YOU

YOU

Ordinary becomes special
Once it feels You.
Many are in search of You
But You choose to reveal yourself
To a few.
Ones who found You
Can't say they found You
Because the day they felt You
They got lost in You.

Some Time

SOME TIME

There's 'some time' left,
I'll knock around.
There isn't any time left,
In 'some time'
Nothing could be done,
So I'll knock around.
There's only 'some time',
So I'll fulfill my desires
Of grabbing things and pounds.

Then in Mathematics
Integration was taught
And its link with 'some time' was revealed.
'Some time' summed together
Would make up my whole Life!
What I do in 'some time'
Is what I do in Life.
The lesson was forgotten in 'some time'.

When 'some time' was left to fade away,
When in 'some time'
I met my true self,
I realised,
I wasted my life
In useless desires.
I was highly indebted to souls
Who helped me,
Who gave me their 'some time'.
I didn't give anyone 'some time'.
I didn't value 'some time'.

Oh Lord!Please give me 'some time'
To make my life worth.
Give me 'some time'
To thank who helped me.
Give me 'some time'
To help others.
Give me 'some time'
Not to knock around
But to utilize.
At least give me 'some time'
To clear the debts of all times.
In 'some time',
'Some time' seemed to be very valuable.

The way small rectangles
covered the whole area,
'Some time',
covered the whole life.

સ્વચ્છતા અને પવિત્રતા

સ્વચ્છતા  અને  પવિત્રતા 


શરૂ થયું અભિયાન 
સ્વચ્છતા નુ,
જરૂરી હતુ  એક વિકલ્પ 
પવિત્રતા નુ । 

પવિત્રતા હશે તો સ્વચ્છતા રહેશેજ 
પણ જ્યાં બધું સ્વચ્છ દેખાતુ હોય  
શું ત્યાં પવિત્રતા અનુભવાય છે?

 આજુ બાજુ છે બધું રળિયામણું 
પણ મન નથી સોહામણું ,
શરૂ  થયું છે અભિયાન 
પણ માનવ કરે છે દેહાભિમાન ।

વિચાર મા આવશે પ્રમાણિકતા 
ને જ્યોત પ્રગટશે ભીતર મા ,
તોજ ઉજાસ પ્રસરશે જીવન મા ।

Debt

DEBT

In the process of falling in debt
And repaying debt Life gets over or begins!

Individual parts,
Then Individual moves
A step forward in queue.

દીકરી કહે...

દીકરી કહે...


દીકરી કહે "ટાટા"         
દીકરી કહે "ટાટા"
સાથે ઉમેરે ,
"પાપા, ઓન દ વે રીચાર્જ માય ડાટા।"

TEA

TEA

When the schedule goes busy
And you feel sleepy,
You stop being brainy
And you want to feel homely,
Then have the Tea,
To feel free,
To remove laziness,
And gain back freshness.

Middlemen being the absentee
From Thorwa
Comes the 'Assam1860' Tea.

WAKE UP

WAKE UP

You would eventually break up    
Source: Google Images
And leave make up,
When you wake up.

Then you would untiringly shake up
Your mind, to take up
Your thoughts for a take off
That would make
Your surroundings
Experience a blissful get up.

NOTHING IS COMPLETE

NOTHING IS COMPLETE

Life is incomplete
Because Life is Something
With 'Me' instinct.

'Me' is the only One,
While traveling kilometers left was only One.
Till the time its in a state of 'Me',
Till the time kilometer left is 'One',
It won't reach Ultimate One.
The moment One becomes nothing,
The moment kilometer left is zero,
Is the moment of ultimate bliss.

zero is nothing
But zero is complete.
State of nothing
Is the state of being complete.
Nothing is Complete.

Seconds



Life_Seconds_Poem

SECONDS



It takes time to achieve success
But few seconds to meet failure.
It takes time to make consistent profit
But few seconds to incur loss.
It takes time to grab things
But a single earthquake to snatch things.
It takes life to make life lively
But in seconds Death snatches it happily.
Too much time is invested
In building a life
Which is always under construction!
Where good things take time
While bad things snatch time
And the last crucial Seconds
Teaches us the truth of Life.
The well-experienced Seconds 
Which could turn victory into failure
Teaches a great lesson of Life
To turn failure into victory.
It takes seconds to gain values that lasts till years,
But it takes years to grab things that lasts for seconds.
