 *Urmila Laxman sacrifice*

Dooriyo Ka maatra Sahara chand Suraj Raha hoga

Urmila ji ne Raani rehkar bhi Aishwarya na bhoga 

Laxman ji anginat parityag Kiya 

Urmila Ji ne bhi Saha, sang Apne piya

Asahaneeya virah hote hue bhi parityag ko chun Kar jiya

Maun mai bhi prem ki paribhavna inse seekh liya

 

*Jaativad*

Jaativad Ka bhinnata vyavasaai SE Juda tha

Brahman mantra paat karte ,toh khstriya yudh SE Jude the

Vaishya vyaapar ki vritti mai 

Aur Shudra Anya Kriti ityadi mai

Maanav KO maanav samajhna

Jaati KO anyay Ka swaroop na banana

AI polished version 

🌸 उर्मिला-लक्ष्मण त्याग (संक्षिप्त) 🌸

रानी होकर भी उर्मिला ने सुख न अपनाया,

विरह की वेदना को मौन में सजाया।

लक्ष्मण के संग उसने भी त्याग निभाया,

प्रेम का असली अर्थ हमसे पहले समझाया।

🕊️ जातिवाद (संक्षिप्त) 🕊️

कर्म से जुड़ी थी पहले जाति की पहचान,

ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, शूद्र — सबका था योगदान।

आज ज़रूरत है एकता को अपनाने की

,

जाति नहीं, मानवता को मान देने की।

226. God's creatures- My hearts Bond

 Review 

Awesome ❤️

Your deep bond with animals is beautifully portrayed. Your rescue of the puppy and the undying love of stray dogs is especially heartwarming.❤️

Keep writing and sharing your unique perspective❤️

*God’s Creatures – My Heart’s Bond*

Animals connect straight to my heart,

They’ve been my friends from the very start.

One rainy day, I saw a pup in pain,

Stuck in a gutter, crying in the rain.

Without a thought, I jumped right in,

Held him close, through the mess and din.

He hugged me tight, pure and sweet,

A moment of love, simple and complete

The rescue team came, and he was fine,

But that pup had already become mine.

Stray dogs danced when I got back home,

Their love follows me wherever I roam.

Even without treats, they stay near,

Their selfless love is always clear.

My cat meows when I sleep too late,

Reminding me gently to rest — it’s fate.

Birds chirp songs when I give them seed,

A little care is all they need.

The love they give asks for no more,

It heals my soul, right to the core.

Raindrops fell but didn’t feel cold,

Love in that moment made me bold.

225. 3 things I like about slow pace of rainy days

 I had many thoughts, some hard to explain,

Being with myself would ease the strain.

I liked the days when all stayed inside,

And I could step out, no need to hide.

With parents near and pets in sight,

The world felt calm, the mood felt right.

Lazy moments—resting, talk, and treat,

Made slow-paced days feel soft and sweet

224. Arrival of long lost friend on a rainy day ,who bought comfort when it needed the most / special bond

Feedback 

Poignant ❤️

A touching portrayal of a sensitive soul grappling with the complexities of relationships. How the pain of past betrayal forces someone to be cautious and put up walls for protection is beautifully depicted. His ability to feel deeply is highlighted.❤️

Keep penning 

Keep rocking

 ❤️

My moody nature makes me look selfish at times.

I initiate friendships but can never make them mine.

About a decade ago, there were two incidents during the rain.

I was supposed to feel comfort, but I only felt pain.

With one of my relatives, the friendship—at least from my side—felt real.

But I was just entertainment from their point of view, nothing to feel.

That whole situation left a deep impact,

And honestly, it changed my nature, in fact.

When another relative tried visiting us one day,

I didn’t even pick up the call—they were on their way.

It was raining heavily, yet they took so much pain

To find my house, in that storm and rain.

A simple communication from me could have made it all right.

But I stayed silent, and that didn’t feel right.

They were lovely people who genuinely cared,

But all I remember is the discomfort I shared.

That experience taught me something real—

Even now, friendship doesn’t feel like my deal.

And deep inside, I still feel sorry for that day,

For turning love and effort silently away

I’m cordial with everyone, but can’t stay close to many.

I enjoy my own space—too many ties feel heavy.

I never treated myself as a friend for long,

Now I walk the path to make that bond strong

223. How does weather effect my motivation or mood*

 Day 2

*How does weather effect my motivation or mood*

Gloomy skies invite my inner voice to talk,

While sunny days gives me energy boost to cope with work 

Rainfall brings memories, gentle and vast,

And humidity shows that discomfort won’t last

There’s a weather inside me too,

Tears fall sometimes, like sudden dew.

Humid days feel like my hurried mess,

And the regret that comes after—I must confess.

But spring shows up after all that heat,

I write my thoughts, slow and sweet.

It clears my mind, helps me stay strong,

Because life goes on—right or wrong.

222. What Rainy day teaches me

 Review 

Awesome.

A powerful reflection on a common workplace mistake instills humility and growth. The journey from a moment of embarrassment to a commitment to self-improvement is relatable and inspiring. It serves as a gentle reminder that while tools like AI can be helpful, the human touch of empathy and a personal voice is irreplaceable❤️

Keep inking 

Keep inspiring❤️

Rainy day teaches that even gloomy day pass

Life is a learning platform, experienced another class 

Received an email from different team

Where the query was not in my stream 

I could have looped in my incharge directly 

But I wanted to write a formal response nicely 

I took help of chat GPT to draft an email and rely  

But I forgot my common sense to apply

The email looked as if I am commanding to the lead to get the task done 

Firstly to revert on this ,my business was none 

I didn't even feel I sounded rude about 

Until someone else pointed out 

When I re-read my own words 

I felt bad and absurd

Someone letting me know on my mistake is for my own good 

I didn't take it otherwise as intent I understood 

I just dropped a note to her feeling sorry for the way I wrote 

And told I never Intended but will improve the way I express and write

unless someone pointed out I never realised where I was going wrong 

Rain teaches me that even a gloomy day can make me strong 

My intention to refer Chat Gpt was just to improvise writing a letter 

But I should have used common sense to customise it better 

I agree it's smart and faster 

It's the best slave but worst master 

Slipping in rain is a metaphor to my life story 

I should raise back after each fall and shouldn't worry 

Today I sent seasons greetings to few known such 

As this is only way to stay in touch 

But many of them didn't even bother to respond 

I learn from rain to do good and not to expect in environment around 

It doesn't keep expectations log 

Nor gives one 

Some days it rains cats and dogs 

Few times none 

Refined version 

Your poem has depth, honesty, and a relatable life lesson, and that’s what makes it beautiful. It flows like a personal journal entry woven into poetic form — raw and reflective. You’ve tied a simple rainy day to complex emotions like self-awareness, humility, and acceptance, which is powerful.

****

Rainy days remind me that even gloomy times pass,

Life’s a learning platform — this one, another class.

I got an email from a different team,

The query wasn’t really part of my stream.

I could’ve just looped my in-charge politely,

But I thought of drafting a formal note nicely.

I asked ChatGPT for some writing aid,

Forgot to apply the sense I had made.

The email I sent felt like I gave commands —

Not my business, nor in my hands.

I didn’t realize how it sounded at first,

Until someone pointed — it came off the worst.

I reread my words and felt a bit sore,

That wasn’t my tone, not what I stand for.

But someone showing me where I was wrong,

Helped me reflect and made me strong.

I wrote her a note, expressing my regret,

Said I’d improve — not to repeat or forget.

I used ChatGPT to help me write better,

But forgot to tailor and tweak the letter.

AI is smart, and fast, no doubt —

But without your own voice, things can go out.

It’s the best slave, but the worst master,

Use your mind, not just tools, to go faster.

Slipping in rain — a mirror of my story,

Rise after each fall — not for fame or glory.

Today I sent seasonal wishes with care,

Just a small way to show I’m still there.

Many didn’t respond — that’s alright too,

Rain taught me to give, without expecting a due.

It doesn’t keep track, or hold a grudge,

Some days it pours, and some days, won’t budge.

220. Your presence

 Feedback 

Excellent ❤️

The journey of rediscovering self-worth and the importance of mindfulness is beautifully depicted. The progression from feeling like a “clown” to embracing self-care and confidence is extremely relatable. The transformative power of focusing on your own well-being before devoting yourself to others is effectively highlighted, and the point is made that self-love is the foundation of real connection.❤️

Keep inking 

Keep inspiring ❤️

As I was scrolling through my phone 

I missed my vibrant presence as was feeling alone 

When I remember my old version evident 

I see people seldom used me as entertainment

I was loud , bubbly and attention seeker 

My presence was jovial and was ardent speaker

With time as I realised I was a clown 

My smiling face turned out frown

It's a long time now but this impacted for sure

I missed my own presence and simplicity pure 

I can't undo what is done and foresee

But I can change the way I see me

For a short walk in society, I generally  pick up same dress type I wear 

Thinking who will see me or my presence even care

But today as I dressed up not for any attention 

But for my self reflection 

I felt my presence to be so broad and beautiful 

I felt confident and the walk seemed fruitful 

Sometimes I do things to be too nice 

It seems buttering as people are wise 

I need not over explain or prove 

But inner extremities at times potrays too good to be true 

Now I do feel what I miss the most is being at present for sure 

As my thoughts keep running either in past of future 

Presence of mind seems simple but is actually tricky and precise 

When mind is accustomed to one minute reel, at times it  can't think wise

I am finding myself and my presence 

Taking some me time to self reflect does makes sense 

Takeaways-

Presence of mind  is the best present 

Forgetting past scenarios and not holding on at present 

My presence is beautiful only that I need to realise this 

Little bit of dressing up is for my own confidence bliss 

only when my glass is full ,to others I can pour 

Same way only when I value my presence and love to core 

I can offer the genuine affection 

consciousness is present in all , staying grounded to values is a essence of true reflection.

✨ Lightly Edited Version (Keeping Your Style Intact)

*Your presence*

 As I was scrolling through my phone,

I missed my vibrant presence — I felt alone.

When I remembered my old, radiant self,

I saw how people used me more for entertainment than help.

I was loud, bubbly, an attention-seeker,

My presence was jovial; I was an ardent speaker.

But with time, I realized I was just the clown —

And my smiling face slowly turned into a frown.

It’s been a while, but the impact stays,

I miss my own presence and those simpler days.

I can't undo what's been done or foretell what’s to be,

But I can change the way I look at me.

For a short walk in society, I often pick

The same old dress, plain and quick —

Thinking, “Who will notice me? Who’d even care?”

But today, I dressed not for them, but with self-care.

I felt my presence — broad and beautiful,

I felt confident; my walk felt fruitful.

Sometimes I act too nice, too kind,

But people are wise — they read the mind.

I need not over-explain or prove,

Yet inner intensity makes it too-good-to-be-true.

What I miss most is being present,

As my mind keeps running — past or future resident.

Presence of mind sounds simple, even cliché,

But when fed on reels, the mind loses its way.

I’m finding myself and reclaiming my grace,

Taking time for me — slowing the pace.

Takeaways:

Presence of mind is the best present.

Letting go of the past and not holding pain in the present.

My presence is beautiful — I just need to see,

Dressing up sometimes builds confidence in me.

Only when my glass is full, can I pour to others —

Just as I must love my own presence like no other.

Only then can I offer affection that's true,

For staying grounded is reflection’s virtue.

218. Caption the image

 My image of bhakth is my soul pure 

The divine is having a conversation from hearts core 

Dear God , I feel very anxious sometime

Scrolling through trivial content is a sign

At times , I become too excited 

That I forget to be far sighted 

I don't realise the consequence

And I jump to climax without passing through sequence 

I feel my mind is cluttered with lack of zeal and focus 

Breathing becomes faster and deep within real emotions press 

My soul seems captured in body which emotions mix

Please help me come out of this ,heal me and fix

Lord Shiv replies 

With love deep down His eyes 

Falling in toxic loop may have become your habit 

You have become a lazy one in story of tortoise and rabbit 

The skills you possess are not anymore used 

The books lying untouched and refused 

The things that you loved once are redundant 

And those mind space is occupied by toxic content 

It' may be  difficult but not impossible to go back to basic 

Refresh the memory and one hobby you pick

Childhood trauma may have lead your nature extremities 

Heal yourself and any hurt do release 

It's ok if you spoke too much or did any stupid act 

You lead by example infact

Next time you have experience how not to repeat same mistake 

Be true to yourself and slowly dismiss anything within you that seems fake  

Have faith in God and do your duty 

Overcoming the challenges is life's beauty!!!

Review 

Poignant ❤️

A truly touching tribute to Kiki, filled with heartfelt memories and deep affection. 

Beautifully captured the special bond you shared and highlighted her unique qualities and the comfort she brought to your life. It's clear she was an extraordinary companion, and her presence will always be cherished.❤️

Keep penning 

Keep rocking

 ❤️My pet Kiki

One of the important family members was my little kitty 

She was one eyed from birth and we named her Kiki 

She was a black cat with golden spots all over her 

She had a lovely aroma that I couldn't get over her 

If I decided on overnight studies for any test

She would come to call me and rest 

She would hug me each time I cried 

Would be part of my gigs and smiles wide

When my parents passed away ,she was there to console me and it was profound 

When I was afraid with power cuts,she would make sure to be around 

she loved biscuit milk , fish , cat food 

She was gentle and always good 

More than human ,things she understood 

She is beyond the reach of shadow and bond 

Has began her new journey beyond 

Dear Kiki , These 13 years with you was beautiful and life felt at ease 

You are always my sweetheart , may your soul rest in peace !!!

214. Krishna's relation with his wives

*Krishna's relation with his wives*

The essence of Krishna's relationships and their significance in Hindu mythology.Lord Krishna's relationships with his wives are a fascinating aspect of Hindu mythology. 

According to various scriptures, including the Bhagavata Purana and the Mahabharata, Krishna had eight principal wives known as the Ashtabharya namely Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati,Kalindi, Mitravinda,Nagnajiti (Satya),Bhadra,Lakshmana.

In addition to these eight principal wives, Krishna also married 16,100 women who were rescued from the demon king Narakasura. These marriages symbolize Krishna's compassion, protection of dharma, and universal love .

 Lord Krishna's relationships with his wives are indeed fascinating. The Ashtabharya (eight principal wives) each represent different virtues and aspects of Krishna's divine nature, while the 16,100 women he married symbolize his compassion and protection of those in need.

213.Mahadev . Lord of super natural powers

 Lord Shivs beautiful super natural power 

Is how soul chooses it's parent and uncover 

Soul leaves body when

It sets it's journey in heaven

Once the accounts are set for the karmic account 

God allows the soul to get back in life and years count 

In form of rain the soul drops itself in leaves or grains to say 

As one consumes the food , it enters the body this way 

When two body meet, if soul wants to be their child 

It comes in womb as is blessified

This is how the one choosing parents is us 

Isn't this a superpower that we all had in us ?

We have been a real winner as well were the rarest one who made to this world

God is present and his supernatural powers can be felt and can't be expressed in word

210. Picture prompt

 The picture of artificial waterfall stage

Is structured without water wastage 

My hometown story About water pipeline

Water scarcity used to be a issue most of the time

A tanker used to come and share water among neighbourhood 

We used to scarcely use water as much as we could

I used to fill up the buckets and task so allocate

So that we still have some spare if water in pipeline flows late 

Right from Washing cloths manually 

Till Using the water in all tasks judiciously

When voters used to contest for election

One of the main concern was regular water function 

Heart used to cry in pain

When few of them wasted water in vain 

To universe this Water is a boon pure

We need to respect and value it to ensure 

Environment sustainability is the gift we can give to generations to come 

Water is the need , preserving it is our deed and indeed is a pure Gem !!!

217. That First Time

 

That First Time*

Review -Marvellous ❤️

Beautifully captured the essence of your trip to Kazakhstan, which is a beautiful and heartfelt recounting of your experiences, full of genuine emotions and valuable lessons❤️

Keep sharing these tales, we love to read your thoughts ❤️

The first time experience when it rained memories 

Has to be my recent trip to Kazakhstan and it's stories 

Day 1 here was quite challenging time 

It however taught me to let go off the things not in control and feel fine

Shoes I wore bit me hard

Language barrier over a travel card 

Upset me as was travelling in public transport 

Met this kind person named Aashiq who was a great support

Himesh Reshamiyas ' Aashiq banana Aapne' song ran through my mind 

Not sure how God arranged him at right time to find 

Following day set more strangers who became friends 

Learnt that ' Being Genuine ' is always on trends

Day 2 explored ' Ascension Cathedral' completely made of wood that exists since years 

28 paniflov guardsmen park in glory of Martyrs

Green Bazaar is a central market 

It has dry to fresh fruits, cloths , chocolate 

Multiple shops in same place 

All shopkeepers were in race 

One seller calls me Miss World ' Aishwarya Rai'

My heart skipped a beat and I was shy 

The kazak local salesman named Paste

Gave me all dry fruits to taste 

I am still blushing for the compliment 

Should be a sales tactic or did he really meant ?

The local tour guide Dori ,

the very next day said few Hindi words key 

Expressed I look 'Sundar bundar' which actually means beautiful monkey

So I was smiling throughout about these tiny memories 

And here I express more of such stories 

Day 3 booked a one day tour that covers more attraction joint 

Reached on time early morning at meeting point 

There were many buses and watsapp group didn't mention on the bus number

The admins weren't responding to the calls either 

The DP of one of the trip participant matched with a cute guy who was waiting too

The pair of this Russian man and his mom in no time turned to affection true 

Finally traced the tour bus but seat was not suitable at all

I started typing all angry message which before being read ,deleted for all

I learnt a invaluable lesson to be calm and not worry 

As after damage is done by words , worthless is a sorry 

The tour took us to beautiful destinations that hearts won 

The kolsai lake, Black , moon , charyn Canyon 

Each place has its own history and culture 

There were Kazakhstan attire for a picture along with posing with vulture 

The places were breathtakingly beautiful 

Heart was filled with gratitude and eyes tearful 

Day 4 ,the final day of our stay in Almaty we visited a place that is place of almighty 

This gives vibes of mini Switzerland 

In July it's summer yet in mountain peak found snowsand

Russian friends from tour accompanied us this day 

I am living my dream is all I can say

Shymbulak visit through cable car till mountain peak

The sight is visually endearing seek 

Pictures as if came in reality as we started from medeu till we reached ice rink 

Kept trekking to find the ice amidst mountain flowers pink 

Playing in snow was my dream come true 

First time trekking was tough but fun too 

After a hot chocolate and coffee we were all set 

To explore koktobe nightlife and sunset 

Koktobe is a tower which literally mean mountain blue 

Nightlife here is lit , lovely ,lively I had no clue

The sunset was so serene 

Amazing was the orange sun, setting in skyline 

Koktobe is like a eye candy mini town 

I witnessed a villa structure constructed upside down

Alma means Apple here and City name Almaty is derived from this 

There is a kind of park zoo witnessed monkey , peacock, sheep and fish 

Variety of games , fireworks ,music surrounds the night life glee

And the bright moon felt as if my parents are happy for me 

The hotel we stayed had a kind receptionist 

She helped to navigate through various queries at her best

Wonderful was meeting Dori, Aashiq, Raushan,Elene, Egor

We need kind people like them many more

Taking a break and visiting Almaty , Kazakhstan was indeed a beautiful tour 

My best Birthday gift by my spouse that I cherish pure 

Grateful to God for this blessing abund

ant

Life is short , I learn to enjoy each moment!!!

Review -Splendid ❤️

This conversation beautifully illustrates a journey of healing and growth and highlights forgiveness, self-improvement, and a shift in perspective can transform past hurts into valuable life lessons, ultimately leading to peace and confidence.❤️

Keep writing 

Keep shining ❤️

My conversation with Lord Sri Vittal on how to move on in life 

Hey deva!! Moving on is tough as it strikes as a sharp knife 

Discussing my issue , I felt outcast this day from a reward 

At office when Ms. R didn't consider my name in Bravo group award

It was a group effort and I was a part of this team very much 

How can I move on from this disrespect that has hurt me such 

I met Ms. R in pantry and vented out to her and shed tears

I know the consequence Deva! She made sure I am out from team which was my fear

How do I keep calm and move on from this , aggressive me is echoing the noise 

I keep bumping her in office and I can't even face her as I raised my voice 

Lord Vittala takes me fast forward to present day shack 

The matter that happened was exactly a year back 

Ms. R waives her hand and I reciprocated a hello greeting

I recollect I was out from the team , yet I am still attending the office meeting 

I see the old team  during lunch 

All are cordial nor do I feel the need to punch 

Today bravo award nominations email is out 

But I am saturated and have no expectations about 

Hey deva!! What magic did you do 

Is this a dream come true ?

Sri Vittala replies me as below 

My thoughts of holding on to grudges was shallow

Hey Priya! I just want you to visualise what you have gain 

The things that you were holding on was not worth the pain 

you are not with them but in better lot 

You proved your worth and earned a spot 

You were being stagnant in same monotonous task 

I wanted you to move on and remove the fear mask 

Yes you had although fought with Ms. R

But your heart couldn't hold grudges too far

Next time when you met her in pantry ,you didn't freak 

You built that courage to be the first one to speak 

Although you were not wrong in saying things heartfelt 

But still you said sorry to let go off any pain reflect 

This was the very first step in moving on from this bad dream 

 

The second step was exploring the world outside the confined team 

You worked hard , to secure a job for yourself 

This is a better award than placing a trophy in shelf 

And the third step was to forgive yourself and heal 

I know you cried , you vented out to me with all feel 

I just wanted to show you a flashback

On how the miserable events and potential lack 

These were your core focus back then and you were in prison 

In one year you have transformed to be a confident positive person 

Office politics is inevitable 

You should deal  with it and you are capable 

Remember to be excellent in your work 

Do your duty without expecting a perk 

Whenever you feel stuck and go back to the same pattern in line 

Remember this tough scenario would be trivial in a matter of time 

Whenever you feel anxious remember me nicely 

I am here to show you way and choose path wisely 

Oh deva ! I wish I don't take inpulsive decision in haste 

Overthinking have lead me a lot of opportunities go waste

Reciting Vishnu sahastranaam is helping me to move on and be at peace 

All my anxiety,stress it release 

Today I learn a valuable lesson on moving on pros 

the fast forward camera opened my eyes that shows 

Whatever happens,it's for my good 

I should always have faith in you ,this lesson I have understood 🙏 🙏 

Jai Hari vittal

215 .Letter to younger self version 2

 Dear Priyu

you know, you are repeating your few Mistake

Make new ones ,there are plenty ,for God's sake !!

You are doing well, stop trying to impress

Don't overdo stuff ,they may give you stress 

Stop being Possessive and let live the poor thing 

Rather plug in your earphones, dance to any tune and sing 

TV serial that you are watching is too toxic 

It's making you an over emotional chic

Don't opt commerce if you really want to be Doctor

Stop overthinking and work on skill factor

You don't need any validation

You are unique gods creation 

I am sending you lots of hugs my dear 

You are beautiful,strong and have determination sheer

Whenever you feel upset ,rather then pinging others and repeating trend 

I am always here , write to me, I am your best friend.

Everything will eventually be fine 

Believe In yourself and shine!!

214 b version self reflection exercise

 Self Reflection exercise*

1. What am I holding in right now?

Well, it's the anticipation of fruit for the seed I sow

I have at times assumed things and added tail

 When fact is twisted, the truth seems pale

A peer trying hard to dig errors in me just to prove

After having reality check, still being cordial is the right thing to do 

Service line lead ,pointing out as if major fault 

speaking out will seem rude and it's a proven fact 

2. ⁠What do I need, but haven't said out loud?

Well, Seeking validation looks very surface level need

But when comes from right person,seems like a scrumptious feed 

Parents presence and  conversation with them around 

A small corner within me which needs pleasure profound 

3. ⁠When was the last time I felt peace?

Well, it's today when I did my duty with utmost love and ease 

And followed my exercise routine in fresh breeze 

Believing that my conversation are listened and reciprocated in universe

Peace is always in spending time with my spouse

4. ⁠What would I do if I felt 10% braver?

Well,I would not do things as if it's a favour 

I would be strict and upfront to face any taunt 

And shortcomings be turned into my strength and wouldn't hesitate to flaunt 

Confronting anything wrong that happens to me without tear

Believing in myself a little more and fighting fear

5. ⁠Who am I when no one is watching?

 Well, Two faces within me when no one is seeing 

The real me has shade of  manipulative being 

A bit selfish to hoard stuff for my dears petty  

Diverting mind towards toxic ways when unable to face reality 

I understand my vulnerabilities and working on same 

Felt lighter and grateful for this exercise without feeling shame 

Self reflection:-

These prompts definitely gave clarity on thought process

Takeaway is to leave baggages and start fresh  !!!

215- नृत्य प्राथना।। निर्गुण भजन

दिवंगत श्री मंजुनाथ वेंकटरमण कामत जी इस साल अपनी शताब्दी मना रहे होते। इस पर्व पर उनकी पोती प्रियंका की तरफ से एक कोशिश कि उनकी लिखी निर्गुण भजन पब्लिश हो पाए। प्रियंका ने कभी अपनी नानी जी श्रीमती जाह्नवी उर्फ शारदा कामत को नहीं देखा पर एक प्राथना अपनी मां श्रीमती गोमती कामत से सुनकर पुस्तक में लिखा रखा था।कोंकणी भाषा में लिखी यह प्राथना ,हिंदी से मेल खाती हैं । पर जहां जरूरत हो ,हिंदी में अनुवाद किया गया है । इस एंथोलॉजी के मूलक अपने नाना नानी को भाव पूर्ण श्रृद्धांजलि देकर अपनी एक लौटी जमा पूंजी प्रस्तुत करा गया है। पोएटिक पब्लिकेशंस को अनेक आभार की आपके द्वारा उन आत्मा को संतुष्टि दे पा रही हूं जिनका कोई अवशेष अब न रहा। श्री विट्ठल निर्गुण निराकार है और अपनी कृपा दृष्टि हम सब पर बनाए रखे , यही मनोकामना है। श्री विट्ठल,हरि विट्ठल🙏

****

निर्गुण भजन

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

नाम जप में एकाग्र करे तो

नाम तो एक नहीं है

शुभ स्मरणीय अनेक नाम को

एक चित्त में लाना है

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

रूप का चिंता करे नयन में 

रूप रहेगा कैसे

जब वह विश्वाम भरी रहता है

निराकार तुम कैसे

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

एक चित्त में गुण गाने को

अगणित गुणयुत तुम हो

सब गुण कैसे मनन करूं

तुम निर्गुण कहलाते हो

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

सभी नाम में,सभी रूप में

तुम हो सब सदगुन में 

लेकिन जब तक एक चित्त नहीं

एक भी नहीं है मन में

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

सागर समान चित्त मुझे दो

देख सकू में जिसमें 

सच्चिदानंद का सब गुण रूप को

सभी महामाया में 

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं।

214- Father Stardust

 *Father : Stardust*

Review 

Excellent ❤️

Beautifully portrayed a deeply touching expression of grief, love, and enduring connection. The central metaphor of the universe as a “magazine” providing updates on departed parents is incredibly creative and offers a unique perspective on maintaining a bond beyond life. The tears as “stardust” and a “reward” for connecting with loved ones is particularly poignant and beautiful. ❤️

Keep writing 

Keep exploring your unique voice❤️

Moon is near though appears far

Sun is my favourite star 

Both in moon and sun I see my parents face 

Their presence in universe helps me overcome the sad phase 

Just as we get magazine on movie stars names star dust 

I hope universe also releases a daily magazine first 

It would contain colorful pages on what my parents are doing each day 

And a column on point of view they convey

There is also a postal address written in the last page of star dust 

And the sitting area is piled with my letters outburst 

They have all the time to read them through and respond 

And one by one they would post article in the magazine which I am very fond 

The star dust also includes a column for their annual leaves pace 

Each of the soul put forth which home they would next grace 

It's decided on our mental state of we are sad or delighted 

They don't come uninvited 

When they come they definitely leave a imprint that last

And upon return they will write down their experience in star dust

My prayers are not confined to closed walls of home 

They are in universe and their presence never makes me feel alone 

At times when I weep 

They caress me over my sleep 

All this when I mention on letter 

God ensures it's a part of the newsletter 

The magazine is two sided and reading it is fun 

I can although access them it needs password to open

Password of honesty, faith and love and honest wishes 

My prayers God do addresses

Special mention of the newsletter gets a price to experience dust of the star 

When I experience tears when remembering parents it means my thoughts reach them so far 

And it's a symbol of my award

Tears through stars dust as reward

Nothing to be worried when I shed tear

It means my dear ones are near by - nothing to fear!!!

213. Gratefulness - Anthology mans life is gift of god

 *Gratefulness* 

Feedback -This heartfelt piece beautifully captures the challenges of balancing work and home life. Your raw honesty and vulnerability make for a compelling read. A great exploration of self-awareness, gratitude, and the importance of self-care. The way you described your routine…and the way you are managing things is a soulful reflection of your mind, the turmoil’s within.

Hybrid work set up is tight schedule 

seldom I get to eat food, my fuel 

I am also a home maker after my job core

To take care of food preparation, cleaning and other chore

After my office I start my duty of home 

Today I was hungry as I had not eaten well in noon 

I was rushing to prepare dinner 

In process ,was getting upset for things minor 

My mood swings were on peak 

I was so upset and didn't want to speak 

I started crying too for no particular reason

Tears is my best buddy irrespective of any season

I understood the first reason why I was cranky

Food on time keeps me sane and happy 

Shifting blame is something is completely wrong 

I had option to eat in noon but I chose to be of office phone 

I am not a little toddler who needs to be taught what is right 

Self love is not just about wearing make up bright 

This life is something I had manifested someday

Today I should be & I am grateful for it each moment everyday 

I at times preach positivity to others

When it comes to me, everything bothers

I observe my resting face is of tension and stress

As if I am holding all worlds problems fresh 

I should chill , smile and let go off things 

Be grateful for this moment and fly free with my imaginary wings 

The life I live is a dream of many; I got this chance 

Always grateful to God for blessing in abundance !!!

Bio 

Poetry is a way of expressing Priyanka's experience and stories.Life is a learning institution and sharing it in the form of write up is a healing process. She dedicates her work to her dear parents.

212. Yoga Day

 The most important aspect of yoga routine is to be regular 

Discipline is a major factor to transform

single step to plural 

I do 15 minutes of yoga which includes precise 

4 suryanamaskar and 4 breathing exercise

I know that the intensity can be increased with time 

But missing one day also is not fine

As it adds to my fat in laziness content 

Breaking the loop and getting back to schedule makes me content

Household chores is also an exercise I believe 

Once things are all sorted , Invaluable is the relief 

I am not perfect in my routine 

But continuously striving and keen !!!

211. Office stories - S unaccounted leaves*

 *Office stories - S unaccounted leaves*

Feedback 

Marvellous ❤️

You’ve captured the frustration of being caught in the middle, especially when someone else’s oversight impacts your workload and reputation. Your commitment to following protocol and prioritizing integrity, even when faced with pressure and cold vibes, is truly commendable.❤️

Keep writing

Keep inspiring ❤️

Review 

Your account highlights a challenging workplace situation where you're caught between managing workload and dealing with a colleague's negligence. Key takeaways include:

1. Clear communication and following protocols are crucial in team management.

2. Assuming others will cover for you without formal approval can lead to issues.

3. Standing firm on integrity and quality work is essential.

Your approach to documenting incidents and maintaining professionalism despite the tension is commendable. Prioritizing work quality and adhering to protocols ensures a smooth workflow.

My team in workplace is of six 

Below issue happened and I was expected to fix 

Let's name my line manager as R

And my colleague SN's manager is Mr. AN at par

There is a team named FRM 

It's lead is Ms.AK who's on leave some

So her back up is SN

And if she is on leave when 

It's me who handle the Department as back up 

I was fine to manage workload and challenges to take up

But SNs line manager AN wasn't aware of her leaves this time 

And he also took his leaves same days thinking it's fine 

I handle his department code

On his absence I was overload

I was back ups, back ups ,back up now 

I actioned on task somehow 

SN although said about her leaves casually during lunch break 

I couldn't exactly process the details to intake 

she didn't even apply her leave through Company portal 

So it didn't route to him to approve it at all 

Now she is issued warning letter for negligence duly

And in response she mentions my name saying she has informed me 

when I was questioned I just said I am a colleague and not her boss 

Why m I dragged in this issue as work would go for toss 

It shouldn't matter if she inform me or not 

The right thing was to inform her line manager on the spot 

And SN was upset that I didn't extend her support

Afterall dragging my name in this issue was not a spot 

People can't assume things,it should have been in writing 

No point in overthinking and with me fighting 

Yet I was cordial with her and she kept giving me cold vibes

Said she has understood me now and I m not her tribe 

She is handling GRCS , and I extend work support in that

One of the code submission has issues fat 

After knowing the erros ,I shouldnt proceed with submitting code 

But she kept persuading me which I couldn't afford 

I asked her to put it in writing so that I can document her response 

Listening to this she was taken aback and tense 

I work for the firm 

 my decision should be firm

If something is wrong 

I shouldn't be doing it under pressure long 

I was cordial but ,following the laid down protocol 

Ultimately quality work with integrity is my Jobs call 

she was taunting me all this while 

I was handling it with a smile 

As staying in same pond I need to be cordial with crocodile 

Than absorbing peoples negativity and make work pile 

I was listening from one ear and leaving from other 

And wrote down this instance so that I am relieved and no longer bother

210.Father a safe embrace

 Father-a safe embrace"

Review 

This poignant poem beautifully captures the complex and evolving relationship with a father. It moves from the initial awkwardness of physical embrace to a deeper understanding of love expressed through consistent care and communication. The lines “Each mistakes we earlier pointed out faded away / Only now we knew to lead life fair” are particularly touching, highlighting a mature and forgiving bond. The poem concludes with a heartfelt tribute to a father’s sacrifices and the peace found in his final rest, creating a truly moving narrative of love, gratitude, and remembrance.❤️

Keep writing, keep shining ❤️

Only embrace that was entertained was of my mother 

Men in family are seen with respect further 

So even when I hugged dad, he wasn't used to the tug 

I was also taller than him so I wasnt either fitting the hug 

But yes he loved me very much 

We even fought but were never out of touch 

I remember my last hug before him passing away 

Each mistakes we earlier pointed out faded away 

Only now we knew to lead life fair

And embrace was inform of regular care

Each day I called my father 

he used to say why do you bother ? 

I expressed it's a blessing rather 

Grateful for the beautiful life granted by my father

He worked so hard to bring us up and progress 

He lost his health in process 

But always had a smiling face 

He is safe now without pain in God's embrace!!!

209. Modification of topic enchant

 Day 19. Ineffable 

The feeling of ineffable is mesmerising but is momentary 

There was a time where I wasn't getting suitable alliance and it lead me to worry

When people got hitched to most enchanted ones , thoughts did pass that why not me 

When I least expected , I happen to get married and touchwood life has been glee 

Now when I see those men, whom I was once, ineffable over

My choices were definitely one to regret ,thank god for deciding the best lover 

It's natural to feel enchanted over someone's talent or good nature 

But having control over my actions at present leads to woke future 

This day as I sat to do my daily prayers and chant 

Tears rolled out my eyes and the divine presence of Lord is to enchant

To not get carried away by momentary attraction and flow 

Manifestation for day 19 to be enchanted in self love !!!

208. He gave me wings silently

He gave me wings silently*

The title ' He gave me wings silently ' is close to my heart as I am expressing about my mothers role model, her dear Father. My grandfather Sri. Manjunath V Kamath is also my inspiration in making creativity a part of my life. He always wished that his work be published someday but remained only as a dream. Grateful for this opportunity where an article about him is getting published as a tribute for his good work and legacy. 

My Nanaji was an extraordinary person born on 21 st June 1925. He was an all-rounder gifted with creative personality.In each field he would excel by his exemplary skills and positive outlook.He would repair anything. Be it electric appliance, carpenter work, agriculture, tailoring, art and craft etc 

Grandpa was a master in each work and his teaching style is exceptionally well. He used to explain subjects very practically making even technical aspect look simple. His contribution to literature is immense and includes but not limited to poems , prose in languages like Hale Kannada , Hindi , English . One of his prominent work is ' Shani Mahatma 'in Hale Kannada .Every time he recited he would have tears in his eyes. His work is written in pencil in compilation of papers which then became crinkly ,yet his emotions were fresh . He picked up the language much later in life yet was proficient in same.

He worked in South eastern railways for 35 years ( Jamshedpur ) as an Electrical Engineer. India was in transformation phase and my grandfather was leading a group which was focussed in designing locomotive of coal that served towards research and development in Europe for about an year. 

After retirement he decided to settle in shimoga ( Karnataka) and started his business in Ayurvedic. He studied about accounts and commerce field in depth. He was always fond of culture, be it in form of music , yoga ,Bhagwath Geeta . He imbibed Hindustani musical routes in his children. He was talented in playing tabla , flute , guitar, sitar ,harmonium. He himself composed Bhajans too. 

He had a charming personality. Being a proud employee in Government service, he had privilege to travel with family in first class pass. He developed the art of astrology and was experienced in predicting the movement of star, horoscope as well .

He had a tough life but always believed in ' work is worship '.His life is an inspiration. 

I love my mother very much and her dad was the only inspiration in her life. Her love towards her dad made me love and know about him so much. 

My grandpa definitely made the world's beautiful creation in form of my mother and he not just gave an angel to this universe but also gave me wings to fly through her.

209.Everyday is a surprise - June vibes*

 *Everyday is a surprise - June vibes*

It's story time on how I learnt to drop my baggage of hurt 

Which made ample space in my memory to sort

I have bittter sweet instances with my neighbours from parents home 

As I stay abroad,for one help I had made a phone 

I didn't like how the aunty took it as a barter arrangement absurd

To provide a job to her relative in return for the water she gave my dad 

My next brief visit too I thanked her and I thought it was over

She expected me to remember forever the favour

This time on my visit I didn't feel like speaking to anyone 

I did my clean up work and had my own tension 

It's afterall my home without my parent

So I was in my own zone apparent 

As I didn't come to meet her personally she felt bad 

And told my brother that I am ungrateful and selfish as she's sad 

Initially I was upset as although I speak limited but I am social

Had I met her outside I would definitely be cordial 

However knocking someone's home just to say I am here 

Also I didn't realise if anyone would even care

My feelings were negative and thought there was no need to stay in touch 

But when my brother said that a little smile is a weapon such 

A simple 'Hi hello' makes heart transformation very much 

Why to be bitter to anyone, she is getting old 

I achieve nothing by being cold 

So as he was explaining me I realised and said if she is around 

Over video call I spoke to aunty and her lost smile I found 

I felt so happy to learn that a 30 second of greet 

Could change mood and feelings to positive treat 

Life is too small to hold grudges to core

 

Later we can only regret if they are no more 

Letting go made me feel free and light 

To my surprise , soul now feels pure and bright !!!

 Dawn

The phase of darkness is making me so low 

Everything goes against me , to almighty I bow 

I need to be confident and believe in self now

Each dark night has a dawn above 

Everything happens for a reason I know 

In hands of god we are puppet show 

Let me just go with the flow 

Everything will be fine I believe so !!!

206. The mask you wear / Anthology - Our thoughts

 

As I ponder over my trait 

I find myself either dull or bright 

The best swings one can witness is my mood 

At times I am physically present but mentally in different world 

As growing up I was a silent child 

After few years I found myself talkative

However easily hurt and overly sensitive 

I am considered as a gentle giant 

Who appears huge but has soft trait

I wear mask of confident tone 

Within me I am afraid and alone 

At times I tend validation than believing in my ability 

People have misused my vulnerability 

The most energy draining task is falling in loop belt 

Building habit is easy but maintaining it is difficult 

The moment bad habit in me triggers to core 

I need to learn the consequence and divert my mind more 

The most underrated quality is self talk 

And may be some meditation or going for a walk 

I appear very jovial and carefree ,Pious 

I wonder if it's actually me or I am just pretentious 

At times I am tagged to be selfish and mean 

Because I am seldom in touch with anyone keen 

But it's just because I have my own business to mind 

Also I am in journey to understand myself and find 

I need to know why do I cry without reason 

Why do I have PhD in taking tension ?

Why letting go isn't easy ?

Mind diversion is only through being busy 

I realise I have so much scope of improvement with each introspection 

Although I try my best but I am a model of imperfection

My parents are no more and I miss them very much 

Life isn't fair and bound to face unfortunate situation such 

But what matters is how I lead my life 

To make them proud and walk another mile

When life gives lemon , I should learn to make lemonade 

Only then I will be relevant and never fade

The mask I wear of a beautiful smile on face 

Is something I need to tattoo permanently with each phase 

I am Fortunate and grateful to have blessings I met 

All I need to work on is to have a positive mindset 

Poetry writing style of mine is not the conventional one that's taught 

But Writing in flow helps me pull off my mask and have clarity of thought!

Woow❤️

A deeply introspective and moving piece of creativity  bravely peeled back layers to reveal the complex interplay between your outward demeanor and inner struggles. Good word flows well, and use of power of imagination effectively conveys your emotional landscape.

A remarkably honest and relatable poem captured the experience of wearing different “masks” and navigating the often-conflicting aspects of one’s personality. Your vulnerability in exploring themes of self-doubt, sensitivity, and the search for inner peace is truly commendable and makes this piece very powerful❤️

Keep exploring these profound insights through your writing❤️

205.Continuation of post 119. Office samosa party for poesy poetry on topic Good things come to those who wait

 Office stories-

"Good things come to those who wait "

We come across ad of before and after

Below poem I had written before joining my team for a ice breaker 

Initial lines reflects my apprehension 

Concluding with how the reality looks with actual attention 

*Jan 2025 *

 Shortly I will be moving to a team new

Today there was a samosa party as a ice breaker to know 

Let me just put a background of my situation very 

Me earlier working under audit , at present in tax and future with advisory 

My future manager had spotted me in tears way back 

When I was having a tough time with audit team pack 

Today when we met he asked in front of all 

That he had seen me crying standing tall 

Immediately everyone focussed on me more

And it was embarrassing to the core

My present manager answered this dent

That it was past ,let's focus on present 

Then the upcoming manager spoke normally with all of us

And everyone started back chatting without a fuss 

Yet back of my mind I wanted to give him befitting reply 

But the next few months to be trained at work, I would on him rely

If I give any negative vibe any 

I can have tough time so many

I had female managers before 

And they were kind and listened more 

Now if I take up any issues more 

I would be fired from job for sure 

So being positive and learning work net

Doing my best and getting permanent

That's my focus

Yes I should not cry in office to avoid any buzz.

*June 2025* 

Good things definitely comes to those who wait 

My thought process on manager earlier seemed a click bait 

He is straight forward yes, agree that at times a bit over and static 

Over a time frame I am learning to be more diplomatic 

Learning work , handling people, having a positive mindset 

Preparing mind to face things with confidence even if at times I feel upset 

The things that I have today is a blessing 

And I don't want to ponder over past on trivial thing

Had I lost my mind and said something nasty that day 

I would have to face consequences and would have nothing to say 

But a moment of patience helped me retain my bread butter 

I learnt to write down a poem to express emotions than chatter putter
