302.* I miss depth in a world obsessed with speed*

I miss depth in a world obsessed with speed*

What do we instantly say when asked 'How are you?'

Yes the reply is in line with "All fine , hope you are too "

But is it always true to refer 

Or our mind is trained for this answer ?

There are three category of talks instinct 

One is in depth which is getting extinct 

Second is small shallow talks few 

And third are the ones who says 'who are you' when I ask 'how are you'

This is a world which seeks instant outcome and feels delight 

Which prefers taking tablet supplement than soaking in direct sun light 

The talks often are shallow 

From within one is not content but hollow

At times I take office cab to reach worksplace

And a colleague was next to my space 

I recollect from one of the previous conversations that he has a new born named 'toshikking'

So to make small talks I checked how is the little one doing 

His instant response was 'how do I remember these details tough'

As he would never remember them if someone is not close enough 

Generally to make small talks I recollect few details which may be lame

His response felt like this is a trivial information in my Brain

No wonder I take time to understand important thing

As these unwanted extra information are in priority wing 

I marked this colleague as a third class category I mentioned above 

I know how to deal with him next time now 

Forget depth , me being in category of small talks tend to slowly move to no contact 

Me expressing in writing is because there isn't anyone to talk and this is a fact 

Being busy is a blessing and I actually like the fast pace

Than keeping a dedicated time, I enjoy writing poems while commuting from worksplace 

To understand any concept I agree, we need to go in depth each time 

Learning curve applies and we speed ,excel and it's a progressive sign 

May be I am in that mindspace now that enjoy doing my duty and embracing speed 

And taking one day at a time and circumstance it lead!!!

301. Unsent letter

 Unsent letter 

I do have a bunch of unsent letter which I didn't discard 

When I was younger I used to write letter in postcard

Watsapp does have 'delete for all 'option

Letter writing doesn't have this feature or caption 

I didn't use to send them if later found lame 

Even now I am still the same 

But good I didn't send them ,the decision was bold 

I realise how innocent I used to be with heart of pure gold !!!

This is my dearest book and treasure 

I am blessed to express my feelings this way 

It's always in present continuous tense I say 

Perhaps I am writing my book each day

These challenges that I participate on

I know I am silly at time

But this blog is my book which I proudly claim as mine!!!

299. The truth behind politeness

 

*The truth beneath politeness*

My poetry journey started with this polite worry 

Do you want to know the story ?? 

An outsider male cat who used to cuddle me and never made me feel alone 

He was so polite that I convinced parents to keep him home 

Food too he used to ask with gentleness 

100 marks for his politeness 

After he got entry to my home , he slowly started tearing my study book

I used to close books so that I could spend time at any cost it took

I was ignoring the little scratches and bites 

As he was polite and never initiated any flight 

He used to listen to my office stories however strange it was , my talks he always missed

At end he would cuddle me and his polite tone was everything I wished 

One day I served him food and patted his head 

He suddenly held my hand and bit it hard 

I started bleeding and I didn't believe this was the outcome of my affection 

I went to doctor he gave me tetanus injection 

He said to look out for the cat that he doesn't die 

Otherwise the wound is so bad that we should check if other vaccine apply 

As I came home , I started venting out to this cat that I won't talk to him anymore

He didn't even let me complete my sentence and just gave me one more 

As I am already vaccinated he said I was immune to his bites and everything between us is good 

He added that doctor has mentioned that "your life is dependant on mine so stop ranting and give me food" 

And then added 'your office stories are getting on my nerves now '

The truth behind my politeness was just to get entry to your home with food and love 

I have already tore a book for you, don't worry 

Take a page and start writing your office story!!😁

298. The wish inside a tossed coin

 

*The wish inside a coin toss *

Once god was distributing traits 

That decides ones fate 

God tossed a coin and one should wish 

And each of them whispered their niche

She said she wanted to be tall pretty 

And few chose to be smart and witty

Their soul got into their respective body in assigned duty 

And this day on a office call a peer calls her cutie 

She was taken aback as didn't expect a colleague giving his remark 

That Mashaallah your smile is so pretty and beautiful face arc 

She decides to toss a coin and ask God if she could alter the decision in this case 

Now she wishes to be intelligent than just a pretty face 

God tosses the coin and says you choose heads or tail

He said heads would mean in any exam you wouldn't fail 

She wanted to be witty along with pretty face and hair blonde 

So she tried tricking God by tossing coin and placing in folded hand

As a result ,for outsiders she is pretty and very good 

At home she is like simple homemade food 

Intelligent she is!! but common sense is rare 

She tried tricking God so what she received was fair 😁

297. Strength inherent in a farewell /The meet cute

 Strength inherent in a farewell

Geet with every coming bus is inquisitive if bus for Union station has come.

One bus arrived- A guy with a laptop bag before entering says her

Boy- where do you want to go exactly ?

Geet - World Trade Centre

Boy- You can take bus till Bur dubai station. From there you can take two metros to reach your destination.

He rushes to climb

Geet- Hey ! Shall I get into this bus then 

Boy in a hurry- YES!!!

Geet- Swipes her card, amount deducted already . She sits in front of a lady mentions this as wrong bus. 

Geet spotted his man . He had opened his laptop and was working. Looking at Geet , he was bit embarrassed, as he knew why she had come there.

The boy behind the mask was smiling but he controlled and said ok, dont worry, this is not the wrong bus, I will show you the way. 

Geet found no seat where she could sit. Boy took laptop bag and placed in his lap and offered that she could sit beside him. 

He shows the map where geet could take the metro in green and red line and explains in brief the route.

There comes Al mamzar beach. geet takes up her camera to shoot the video. The boy is now trapped. He doesnt want to be clicked in the camera anyway. he adjusts his mask to cover his face . 

Whenever geet was looking outside window, he was panicking,as he was in window seat. ,may be he thought she was seeing him. 

Geet- What is your name

Boy- Reddy

geet- Reddy? This seems like surname, You dont have a name ?

Boy - yes, its surname. thats enough for you

Geet- Hi, I am geet. Dont worry , i was just taking video to put in youtube, I have a channel. she instructs him through eye moment to check his phone if her channel name appears. 

Reddy- subscribes her channel without special instruction from her. Also randomly likes her recent videos without even completely looking into it. 

He didnt dare to look at her face as he couldnt stop smiling. yet with serious voice he asked 

You are from which place?

Geet- Sharjah

Him- Arey no, I mean from where in India 

Geet- ohhh, neevu kannada??

Reddy- I am telugu, stayed in bangalore, so know kannada also.

Reddy quickly got into calls to show geet that he is very careful with ladies and not indulging in unnecessary flirting with them. 

Stop is nearing, Reddy makes hand gesture to say to get down. 

On the way back ,he notes her number down .She turns back to see and finds he is still watching her go and saying good bye.

Geet reaches the office safely

At noon, as she was getting her cup of coffee, she receives a call

on other side- hello , reached safely ?

Geet- oh Reddy !!!!

Reddy- yes, stay safe, just wanted to know if you reached safely. coming back too take same route and then stay safe.

As she wanted to speak something he cuts her in between and says that he is busy, so would like to hung up.

so the conversation ended and they never connected again. 

Some stories are beautiful when incomplete.It was awkward but build connection without possession.

 It can be painted in memories embracing the strength inherent in a farewell !!!

296. I didn't change but stopped explaining

 *I didn't change ,I just stopped explaining*

There are so many vices I observe about self

Trying to correct them ,if not me then who else ?

Exposing my vulnerable side has done more harm than good 

People disguised as friend often tend to misuse this , I have understood 

I often had the tendency to express my hurt right away with emotions wrapped

The manipulative being would enjoy winning each time I was trapped 

My explanation each time fed his ego 

My next step was easily interpreted on the go

My mental health was low and was difficult to cope 

But since he was a habit by now,it was tough to come out of loop 

First attempt towards my wellbeing was to not let him win

I stopped feeding his ego and being his jin

His acts to hurt me was obvious but I stopped explaining

Just so that he feels I am unaffected although my heart would still be draining 

I didn't change ,but stopped explaining and confronting the hurt shoot 

But this wasn't a solution at base root 

As I would be tempted to check his update

I pondered as to why does the stale bread crumbs he feeds me still appeal?

I asked myself what in me is not yet healed ?

I understood that the attention and validation he gave me that I was so fond

As a solution,I then started developing self bond 

Which included being so busy in life and learning the lessons 

Taking little steps towards my own wellness

Yes the intensity is lesser as these efforts are continuous process 

The moment I give my monkey mind power to control my progress

It can lead me to path which can lower my energy 

So trying my best to keep away from manipulation leading to depleting allergy 

Now daily confronting myself to know if I am free from this cage 

As there is no point appearing like pious sage 

It's not about showing off that things don't bother anymore I no longer explain 

In reality if I don't change for good and still thoughts instilled lame

Inner strength is when I am immune from toxic pleasure eventually straining 

Genuinely I should be able to accept that I didn't change ,but evolved and just stopped explaining!!!

294. Storm behind calm face

 *Storm behind a calm face*

Pen friends no longer in that bond 

Which once upon a time they were so fond 

He kept checking on her 

She didn't respond and adhere 

He knew her well 

Yet on this silence he chose to dwell

After few days she felt ok and then gave update 

Perhaps ,he had moved on and she was late

He just said to not stay in touch 

After that there was hardly any conversation such

There can be storm beneath surface so calm

Their paths do cross but faces stay firm !

293. Crossroads/ penguin

 

Review 

The transformation from seeking external comfort to finding inner strength and spiritual support is beautifully depicted, expressing the tension between the security of the “herd” and the solitary, yet liberating, path of self-discovery. ❤️

Keep Writing ❤️

Keep shining ❤️

The penguin used to be in group as a defence from snow fox  

One day she decides to think out of the box 

With each steps she sees she is alone 

She runs but finds none 

In crossroad of life she can either choose to be in group 

Or break the boundaries and come out of the loop

The snow shows her the birds eye view 

Where she realises the reality few 

She was searching for comfort in her mate

But life is always not fair and at times depends on fate

We are born alone and shall leave this way too 

What matters is happiness we shared true 

When we do something different 

People can be with envious intent 

Our progress may not be liked by all

At times walking alone saves from downfall 

But she is driven by emotions

Let her take time to process 

She is strong and will overcome this phase 

It seems like she is running alone but God always has her back in each race !!!

292.Month end dialogues in office

 *Month end dialogues in office*

My senior pronounces my name as Prianga all time

And month end or year end if happens in weekend line

I hear these conversations often 

When he ask how I am doing and I say fine - a formal tuning 

And in return ask how are you , I always get a response as surviving 

Alternative answer would be that he is not fine 

And the reason would be that somethings are still pending in pipeline 

His 'Prianga have a nice weekend came '

I replied wish you the same 

He said 'For me, I will be working in weekend '

So you enjoy the day start to end 

He asked me if I had my food 

I said" yes , I had mine ,thanks all good "

I knew asking him back would give me similar response

I was quiet and he expected I should also ask hence 

He only told me - Prianga ask me 

I said oh sorry , I Missed to ask did you have something to eat 

He replies Don't ask me I haven't had food and entire day glued to seat

Day and night I am working with no rest 

Anyways you enjoy your day Prianga all the best !!

291. Night

 Night 

If I am able to express,it is Saraswati Ma’s grace, almight

So I pen a few words on Vasant Panchami night.

Peaceful sleep is one precious gift God blesses,

Yet my breathing issues turn nights sleepless.

Cold catches quick, breath turns tight,

I tremble at times, teeth clenched in the night.

Goosebumps rise, nature calls keep me awake,

With every cough, my body starts to ache.

I turn and turn, changing sides,

But time itself refuses to slide.

Nights of chills and wheezing persist,

Even without AC, the cold insists.

I wish this night would gently swoon,

I manifest I will get well soon.

 Importance of 2026 in my life 

2026 is a year to clear blockages and feel at ease 

Good memories with my parents in my heart to freeze 

Breaking up with my toxic habits that once made me feel fine

Overcoming this phase is tough as it served as a dopamine

Empty feeling now is making me understand my self 

To think out of the box than restricting to a shelf 

Hope is the silver lining to any situation afterall

Faith is the confidence that I will bounce back after each fall 

Age isnt a barrier to follow my passion

Keeping a smile and being kind is always in fashion!!!

289. E magazine poetic essence - Jan 2026“Faith, Falls, and Forward Steps

 *Faith, Falls, and Forward Steps*

Each day comes with a new challenge and zeal 

An experience when digested well becomes like a scrumptious meal 

Faith is important for one to be balanced and persistent 

It gives ability to realise our act in instant 

Things that once lead me to overthink and perish

If now I am able to let go then it's also a little win I cherish 

Two years back after one office event, there was a tragedy at home 

So I missed last year attending this as even in crowd I would feel alone 

This year I attended with a spirit to heal my past trauma 

But I failed and after coming home I cried remembering my ma

So my plan to overcome my fear may not have been resolved

But I am better with time and have evolved 

I learn that getting result is not always a milestone 

Trying to come out of failure is also a stepping stone 

A breakup phase need not always be about love

Overcoming habit that is toxic is a challenge to know 

At times some of the habit leads to that dopamine 

And not getting it can lead to being upset , sad and being mean

I am trying to overcome these traits in me which is tough 

Pure gold emerges after a process rough

I had so many clutters within me that didn't make me at ease

These blockages are on the verge of release

So the emptiness I may feel now is leading me for a better person 

Its bringing back the good things of my younger version 

Age isnt a barrier to follow my passion

Keeping a smile and being kind is always in fashion

Time is precious and productive utility leads to success and leap 

Miles to go before I sleep !!!

288. Petal of heart anthology

 Petal of my heart 

A petal of my heart may fade and fall,

Yet life keeps testing how I rise through it all.

It so happened, I forgot my exam date,

A small mistake that turned into fate.

I didn’t check my hall ticket twice,

Just trusted the mark I made on my calendar in haste.

Later I heard the paper was easy that day,

And guilt with self-blame came my way.

Though I had scored well in the other part,

Being marked absent broke my heart.

That morning, I thought it was a holiday,

I revised my notes and let time slip away.

Then the “what ifs” kept running in my head,

I couldn’t eat or sleep in bed.

I kept asking 'how could I miss?'

It felt like my last chance had vanished in mist.

But time moved on, I cleared in the next,

And realized it wasn’t as bad as I had guessed.

What once felt like the worst phase of life,

Now seems not worth the endless strife.

The lesson I learnt was clear enough

Always double-check, never trust once.

And when I lost my parents, my biggest pain,

I knew no exam loss could weigh the same.

So if loved ones leave without a sign at all,

Why worry so much for a missed final call?

Swami Vivekananda's powerful line keeps me going that say 

Where there is a will there is a way !!!

286. अरावली – 100 मीटर का मिटाया जाना

 

परिचय (Hindi)

प्रियंका कामथ मंगलुरु की निवासी एक कवयित्री और लेखिका हैं, जिन्होंने 300 से अधिक कविताएँ लिखी हैं और विभिन्न संकलनों में योगदान दिया है। वे वित्त क्षेत्र से जुड़ी पृष्ठभूमि रखती हैं और वर्तमान में यूएई में निवास कर रही हैं। उनकी रुचियाँ कला, शिल्प, कविता, पाक-कला, पठन, और तैराकी में हैं। वे अपना समस्त लेखन अपने माता-पिता को समर्पित करती हैं और उनके आशीर्वाद में अटूट विश्वास रखती हैं।

अरावली – 100 मीटर का मिटाया जाना

अरावली पर्वतमाला भारत की सबसे पुरानी पर्वत श्रृंखला है। इसकी उत्पत्ति पैलियो प्रोटेरोज़ोइक काल में हुई थी, लगभग 2.5 से 1.6 अरब वर्ष पहले।

प्राचीन समय में ये पहाड़ बहुत ऊँचे थे, लेकिन लाखों वर्षों की प्राकृतिक घिसावट (मौसम के प्रभाव) के कारण इनकी ऊँचाई धीरे-धीरे कम होती गई।

20 नवंबर 2025 को सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने पर्यावरण मंत्रालय द्वारा प्रस्तावित अरावली की एक नई परिभाषा को स्वीकार किया। इसके अनुसार, स्थानीय ज़मीन से केवल 100 मीटर या उससे अधिक ऊँचाई वाले पहाड़ों को ही अरावली पर्वतमाला माना जाएगा।

इसका अर्थ यह है कि लगभग 90% अरावली क्षेत्र अब संरक्षण से बाहर हो जाएगा।

सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा नियुक्त एक समिति ने 2018 में पाया कि राजस्थान में पिछले 50 वर्षों में 128 में से 32 अरावली पहाड़ अवैध खनन के कारण पूरी तरह गायब हो चुके हैं और 10–12 बड़े अंतराल (गैप) बन गए हैं।

विशेषज्ञ चेतावनी देते हैं कि खनन का प्रभाव धीरे-धीरे लेकिन स्थायी होता है। सतही या कम गहराई वाला खनन भी जल निकासी के रास्तों, मिट्टी की स्थिरता और वर्षा जल को सोखने की भूमि की क्षमता को हमेशा के लिए बदल सकता है।

खनन से प्राकृतिक दरारें, मिट्टी की परत और चट्टानों की संरचना नष्ट हो जाती है, जिससे मिट्टी का कटाव, उपजाऊ मिट्टी की हानि और बाढ़ का खतरा बढ़ जाता है।

अरावली पर्वतमाला में सोना, टंगस्टन और सीसा जैसे बहुमूल्य और रणनीतिक खनिज पाए जाते हैं, जिनके कारण यहाँ खनन किया जाता है।

अरावली की चट्टानें मुख्य रूप से क्वार्ट्ज़ाइट और ग्रेनाइट से बनी हैं। इनकी बनावट कठोर, पथरीली और ढलान वाली है।

अरावली पर्वतमाला अरब सागर से आने वाली दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून हवाओं को नहीं रोकती क्योंकि यह हवाओं की दिशा के समानांतर फैली हुई है। इसी कारण उत्तर-पश्चिम भारत का क्षेत्र वर्षा-छाया (रेन शैडो) में आ जाता है।

भारत में मानसून समान रूप से नहीं बरसता। अरावली की असमान सतह जल संरक्षण में मदद करती है। लेकिन खनन के कारण पहाड़ टूटते हैं, जिससे भूजल स्तर और उसके शुद्धता पर गंभीर प्रभाव पड़ता है।

गुजरात से दिल्ली तक फैली अरावली पर्वतमाला उत्तर-पश्चिम भारत में महत्वपूर्ण पारिस्थितिक भूमिका निभाती है।

यह थार रेगिस्तान के फैलाव को रोकती है और दिल्ली, जयपुर, गुरुग्राम जैसे शहरों की रक्षा करती है।

अगर अरावली की यह प्राकृतिक दीवार टूटती है, तो दिल्ली-एनसीआर में धूल भरी आँधियाँ, गर्मी की लहरें और वायु प्रदूषण और अधिक बढ़ सकता है।

नीची पहाड़ियों के नष्ट होने से थार रेगिस्तान की रेत और धूल इंडो-गंगेटिक मैदानों तक पहुँच सकती है, जिससे किसानों की आजीविका और आम लोगों के स्वास्थ्य को खतरा होगा।

उत्तराखंड जैसे नाज़ुक पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में देखा गया है कि पर्यटन से जुड़ा निर्माण कार्य जलभृत (एक्विफ़र) और प्राकृतिक जल रिसाव को बाधित करता है, जिससे जल संकट और गहराता है।

आज की दुनिया में डिजिटल काम को अक्सर एआई से मान्यता मिलती है, मानो तकनीक ही अंतिम न्यायाधीश बन गई हो। लेकिन एआई केवल वही जानकारी उपयोग करता है जो पहले से सार्वजनिक रूप से उपलब्ध होती है।

इस प्रक्रिया का सबसे अधिक असर मध्यम वर्ग पर पड़ता है, जो संख्या में बहुत बड़ा है। जबकि लाभ कुछ गिने-चुने शक्तिशाली लोगों को मिलता है।

अरावली को तभी बचाया जा सकता है जब लोग अपनी आवाज़ उठाएँ और अपने अधिकारों के लिए डटकर खड़े हों।

अब चुप रहना विकल्प नहीं है। जागरूकता को कार्यवाही में बदलना होगा, और दर्शकों को संरक्षक बनना होगा।

यह लेख मेरी ओर से अरावली के लिए एक छोटा-सा प्रयास है।

जब मौन विनाश को बढ़ावा देता है, तब एक लिखा हुआ शब्द भी प्रतिरोध बन जाता है।

अरावली को बचाने की शुरुआत नज़र फेरने से इंकार करने से होती है।

285. Aravalli -100 Metres erasure

 

Bio

Bio (English)

Priyanka Kamath is a poet and writer who has written over 300 poems and contributed to several anthologies. She is from Mangalore and comes from a finance background, presently settled in the UAE. Her interests include art and craft, poetry, cooking, reading, and swimming. She dedicates all her work to her parents, believing their blessings guide her always.

Aravalli - The 100 Metre erasure 

Aravalli range is the oldest found mountain belt in India with an origin dating back to the paleo Proterozoic era( approx 2.5-1.6 billion years ago).

 In ancient times they were extremely high and have been worn down over millions of years of weathering. 

As per the new definition of the Aravalli hills that the supreme court accepted on 20 Nov 2025 that was proposed by the union environment ministery, that only hills above 100 metres above the local terrain be considered as the Aravalli Hills and Ranges . Which means atleast 90% of the Aravallis will no longer be protected.

The supreme court appointed a committee in 2018 found that in Rajasthan 32 out of 128 Aravalli hills disappeared in 50 years because of illegal quarrying and 10-12 large gaps opened up.

Experts also warn that the mining impacts are cumulative as even shallow scale of extraction can permanently alter drainage patterns , soil stability and reducing lands ability to absorb rainfall. Surface mining often destroy natural fissure , soil cover , rock structure that allow infiltration causing soil erosion, loss of top soil and flood risk. 

Intent for mining - Aravalli range contains precious and strategic minerals such as Gold , Tungsten and lead. 

Let's see how the Aravalli helps in absorbing rainfall :-

The hills are composed mainly of quartzitic & granite and are characterized by their rugged rocky structure and steep slopes. Aravalli range doesn't intercept the moisture giving South West monsoon winds off the Arabian sea,as it lies in the direction parallel to that of the coming monsoon winds leaving northwest region in rain shadow. The monsoon in India is not evenly distributed. The uneven surface level makes it convenient to preserve water. And breaking the hills for mining can alter groundwater table and it's purity. 

Extending from Gujarat to Delhi, the Aravalli range plays crucial ecological role in North western India. It serves as a natural barrier against desertification, preventing the expansion of Thar desert & protecting cities like Delhi , Jaipur , Gurgaon. Disruption of Aravalli barrier could worsen urban air quality, intensifying dust storms,heat waves and pollution in Delhi NCR region. 

Loss of lower hills likely to expose bast areas to sand and dust particles blooming from Thar desert to Indo Gangetic plains and endanger livelihood of farmer and health of people. 

In fragile hills such as Uttharakhand, tourism related construction has been reported to disrupt aquifer and natural water percolation, exacerbating water scarcity.

In today’s world, digital work often seeks validation from AI, as though technology itself has become the final judge. Yet AI only draws from information already placed in the public domain. The true impact of this process falls on the middle class who are vast in number. The benefits are reaped by a privileged few who, though small in count, hold disproportionate power. The Aravalli can be preserved only when people raise their voices and stand firm for their rights. 

Silence is no longer an option; awareness must turn into action, and spectators must become protectors.

This article is a humble attempt from my end to stand up for the Aravalli. When silence enables destruction, even a single written voice becomes an act of resistance. Saving the Aravalli begins with refusing to look away.

283. Resolution for 2026

Review.

@⁨Priyanka Kamath⁩ Ya very true to live the present life can be a resolution and you didn't copy the answer of your colleague rather you calculated correct that you were inspired by her answer. Keep sharing your views like this. ☀️☀️☀️☀️

Resolution for 2026

When I got this topic, I didn't know what to write

Resolutions are the manifestations bright

Certain things in life are better to be with self

I do have certain to-do lists, but within my heart’s shelf

A colleague asked, “What’s your resolution this year, my way?”

I instantly got stressed as I didn’t know what to say

So I said I have a list for this year

My answer wasn’t interesting, yet there was shine in the eyes of my peer

She said, “Good, you have so many things in your to-do list”

So I asked her about her plans, now relaxing my fist

She said living this life is her only resolution

That was a nice answer and a solution

Since I get perplexed if someone asks this question true

This answer seemed crisp and a good one too

I thought for a second, am I copying someone’s answer?

Let me reframe - maybe I am inspired by someone’s thoughts at par

Thus, to summarise my resolution for 2026:

To live the present moment and focus less on clicking pics!!!

282. Boat of thoughts

Review 

Incredible verses depiction the tribute to Tirupati Balaji   

May Jis divine blessings keep blessing you 🍫💞🙏🏼

*Boat of thoughts*

Visiting Tirupati temple atleast in my thoughts I couldn't resist 

It's believed when balaji calls one can visit

That call came to my brother this week 

My boat of thoughts expressed ,Balajis blessing I seek 

As I haven't experienced it on my own 

Just closed my eyes to describe from creative zone .

The wait for viewing God is too long 

In between there can be short cuts that can come along 

But one who achieves the patience to stand in queue and wait 

Teaches us solutions in life doesn't come served in plate 

One should have patience to make right choice 

Have faith in God and believe in inner voice 

After death one reaches heaven after clearing karmic pathways troublesome 

Same way after all obstacles finally the doorway to see Balaji comes 

One may have many things to ask

But remembering material things seems like task 

As one hardly would get few seconds to witness the lord 

Eyes fills with tears seeing this beautiful form of God 

Words can't describe the divinity of having His immense presence and healing 

Atleast once in this lifetime it's a blessing to experience this feeling 

Blessed are those who get to have the divine touch of the cloth which was used to clean the god 

And writing a wish there too one can't lose to afford 

The ladoo prasad is so special and auspicious 

Consuming it is a unexplainable feeling that's divinely delicious

Tirupati tirumala venkateshwara has a hypnotic smile 

He manifested himself in his divine form that Vedic scriptures file 

He is well built symmetric tall handsome deity with everything best 

With devi laxmi presence in his right chest 

His smile makes one forget the question we carry

With happy tears goes out all worry 

I hear about you my thoughts of boat passes each stream 

Seeing you in this lifetime seems like a dream 

But when I close my eyes I feel you and see you 

Please make me come to you one day , I will , I believe you .

281. Between the lines

 *Between the lines*

It's not easy to live my life and walk the phases I have been

Grass on the other side always seems green 

Expressing can be non-verbal norm

And here is where the art of reading between the lines form 

When I do the work round the clock 

And none to express yet 

expectations on me to be strong as rock 

I may be upset on few things or speak out of topic at length 

It's dismissed and equated to my mood swings of the month 

Without expressing, I expect at times to make me feel special with a hug or kiss

He might not read between the lines on this 

Then only my pen understands my feelings in-between the word

At times I feel if I am asking too much and I feel absurd 

I wish my mom was here so that I could just express

That I feel overwhelmed and feel a lot of stress 

She would read between the lines just by my silence ,words or face 

But I know life is a race 

Show must go on at each case 

Dealing and overcoming with the lifes challenge at each phase 

Learning growing reading between lines of life at my own pace !!!
