Desire spurs you. Fear warns you. You is ego, Soul's agent. 07.09.2017

The hero and the heroine are no more. The singers and the composer are too. The lyric writer too has followed suit. I enjoyed the song, tune, voice and scene When I happened to see the video, As much as I did seeing it sixty years ago. They live in me and are not dead, though dead. 06.09.2017

As long as woman owns stable breasts And wrinkleless cheeks, she can arouse men. As long as man owns sturdy shoulders, And  hunting eyes he can claim women's eyes. Women of any age with firm cheeks Can attract men older to her. Men of even advanced age With shoulders in place can draw in women. Sexual passions across genders Last far beyond sexual cycles. 06.09.2017

Listeners give you pride. Followers give you pride. Dependents give you pride. Being in focus is a pride. Being a darling is a pride. Being trustworthy is a pride. Getting gratitude is a pride. Getting reception is a pride. Getting remembered is a pride. Offering the needs is a pride. Offering service is a pride. Offering pardon is a pride. Showing mercy is a pride. Showing kindness is a pride. Showing civility is a pride. Pride is rich food for ego. Ego is not let to starve. Chose the above to get pride. Vanity is not a pride. Overpowering is not a pride. Taking revenge is not a pride 05.09.2017

Purging out is a relief. Escaping is a relief. Healing is a relief. Relief is a pleasure More sought than the pleasure. 05.09.2017

God is merciless to all living things On three counts, by which life is tragic. One has to kill the other for one’s food, Being as a predator and a prey. Adults have no instincts for their parents Unlike parental instincts for their young ones. Males are made to overpower females In mating, disregarding their consents. 05.09.2017

The one forgotten, not reminded of, Not remembered, not recollectable Or not retained is as good as unborn In one's memory. Memory is life. 05.09.2017

Limited to the ignorance Of the parents and the teachers, You learn and develop your knowledge. To the ignorance of the peers, The society and the dogmas, Your knowledge is abridged. Misconception of perception On your part adds to curtailment. Each human is a pruned plant. Freedom of knowledge is elusive. 05.09.2017

Wealth or power earns you respect. Virtue or honesty earns you Sympathy ridden respect. Knowledge earns you awesome respect. 02.09.2017

Not to hunt is against instinct. Not to rob is against instinct. To steal or to cheat is likewise. They are survival instincts, though. One lives without these vices When one is provided for life With provisions which have been made With these vices by others. 02.09.2017

To live and to leave the copies, Energy is stored and spent In every organism. Through meristem, growth and seeds And through cambium, thickening And repairs take place in all plants. Equal to meristem are sperms And ovum, and to cambium Are somatic cells in animals. Energy in man is stored To spend in metabolism And in sexual orientation. Curb not sexual activities. Spurn not consensual sex. Don’t forbid sex in media. Watching love scenes is an escape. Watching porn is an escape. Libido must find way to leak. 01.09.2017

When the siblings partition Their parental property They will have dismantled Their sibling affection too. 31.08.2017

You get tenfold harvest Of what you have sown On plants and animals. You get one tenth benefit Of what you have done To your friends and kin. 31.08.2017

There is a kick In talking about adultery, In suspecting of adultery And equally in spreading it. It spreads across like a wild storm. Sexual taboos contribute to it. Sexual perversions add to it. Deprivation of sex is the cause of it. News of adultery is a kick To the giver and the taker alike. ,30.08.2017

Death terminates pain; death eliminates fear. Death is not endeared. Death is dreaded most. Loss of memory; loss of perception. Loss of happiness. Death is rightly feared. 30.08.2017

Faiths, beliefs, dogmas and ideologies Founded, probated and tyrannized By different men at different times From different parts for consideration. The ideologies were clothed heavily With costumes, signs, rites and ceremonies In such a way that the people as groups Are neurotically serious about religions. Religion does more harm than good for peace. Nation must overtake religion in laws Compassion must overtake spirituality. Science must override superstition. 29.08.2017

Privacy guarded, Transparency suffers. Privacy guarded, Trustworthiness derails. Privacy guarded, Intimacy slackens. 27.08.2017 

Pleasure of music draws the crowd to gods. Pleasure of company is for pilgrimage, And  of get-together  for mass prayer. One entertains oneself in the name of God. 27.08.2017

Who all can advice? Any criteria? Anyone is qualified to do so If he has been approached for advice. The seeker's faith is the qualification. 27.08.2017

The man who cannot resist his desire For a woman forbidden, sublimates His love in taking care of her children And assuming platonic relationship. So subtle will be the relationship That both feel they are in undeclared love. 26.08.2017

I have nothing to hide. The right to privacy Has no meaning to me. I have nothing to say. The right to freedom 'f speech Has no effects on me. I fall in love with you. The right to imply it Must not be penalized. 25.08.2017.

The rose smells to him as it doeth to me. The moon shows to him as it doeth to me. Honey tastes to him and to me alike. All senses work like man's in both of us. His robe and his accessories laid by, In blank nakedness, he like me is man. I fear him, revere him and obey him. Societies are built not on equal foot. 25.08.2017

Money overrides merit In admission to institutions In recruitment to organizations In appointment to establishment And in selection to chiefs. Inefficiency creeps in everywhere, Crippling progress and delivery In all sectors across resulting In health and wealth of the people. 24.08.2017

Urged by the ego, to boost one's image, Each one floats a sect, with a set of rules To be followed by them and to spread in turn. One of the rules is surrender ego. 24.08.2017

Men are vendors, ready to sell their wares. Women are buyers, choosy in their needs. Not sure of women's time and wants, men yell. Do pedestrians scold when hockers yell? 23.08.2017

Reciprocity is the link That fastens to souls to be close. Objective, subjective or both Reciprocity acts in them. Desires parental and sexual Can intervene to an extent To make ties last as one sided, When reciprocity slackens. Love offered must be requited. Friendships must flow down from both sides. Two equals can love each other. Queen and maids can love each other. Kinds to kinds can be the return. Kinds to loyalty can be the norm. Kinds to gratitude can be the form. Mere love to love can’t last for long. Reciprocity can well be On material advantage, On emotional impulse Or on compassion or sexual. Familiarity breeds contempt. Frivolity can dampen love. Conspiracy can spoil it. Change in space can dilute it. Reciprocity tapering, Animosity entering, Or priority shifting Relationship will strain and break. A friendship will come to an end. A relationship will be over. Yet i...

Woman has fear when in company of man That he would make sexual advances. Woman has fear when with man in the bed That he might inflict pain in perversion. Woman has fear when she lives as single That men take her granted to receive them. Man has fear when in company with woman That she would allege sexual harassments. Man has fear when in courtship with woman That she might convert it to a rape. Man has fear when in favour for woman That she may trap him as her lover. Fear constrains from love man and woman. Love is enacted in fantasies. 21.08.2017

Who are the second and third, I don't mind. Who are those ahead of me, I would mind. Gain rules as the sole consideration. Compassion has no ground to occupy. 21.08.2017

Lying, habitual, is a disease. Steeling, habitual, is a disease. Womanizing is a disease. These need treatment, not punishment. 21.08.2017

Men are mostly attracted to women Who resemble their mothers or sisters, And women too, to men resembling Their fathers and brothers in sex appeals. Familiarity is the cause of attraction. Some amount of similarity Works as a stimulant to the appeal. Incest relations tabooed shift the place. Girls falling for men, their fathers' age, And boys, for women, their mothers' age, Prevalent are not out of context. 20.08.2018

A Dalit being head of the nation Means nothing when Dalits are under attack. A Muslim being in the cabinet Means nothing when Muslims are under attack. Unless the mindset of the privileged Change drastically, prejudice is not dead. 20.08.2017 (Dalit refers to a section people among Hindus kept once untouchable on account of their mean works and now socialized)

The bride faces her man in the first night, Not without fears, beside her bridal flush. She carries throughout her marital life That fear for her husband's mood and commands. To have sex without ownerships is rape. To have sex without one's consent is rape To have sex with wife against her wish is rape. Yet marital rape goes unnoticed. She has to offer herself when he wants. Her body is his that he can handle As he wishes that includes the forceful Fetishes on her without impunity.  She is a mute sufferer in the bed. She cannot report it to anyone. She is not expected to reveal it. It is time she had her space and her time. It is time man liberated his wife From marital rape and sexual assaults Lest there should be a necessity To enact  a law on marital rape. 19.08.2017

Water is soft yet dissolves substances. Water is mild yet cannot be broken. A wall is not an obstacle to stall it. It would overcome curving around it. Gentle as a brook and wild as cyclone, Water can wear away the rock, dripping. Perseverance can overcome the rigidity. Being gentle you can succeed 

Who will be second, third and fourth I've no inclination to know. Who is the next ahead of me Is my sole concern in view. No compassion for the trailer. To some I am also a trailer. 19.08.2017

The earth, water, air and sunlight Interact to form and run life. The life will come to a dead end When any of them is withdrawn. 19.08.2017

To be taken note of, To be remembered And to be talked about Are the desires of Ego. To fulfill these desires Man seeks company And circles are formed At different levels And different sizes To address these issues. A master gets his circle. A servant gets his circle. 19.08.2017

Illusions save us pain: It allows us pleasure. Let it be accepted. God is from illusion. 17.08.2017

Be minorities without fear. Be the poor and the weak secure. Be the end to the party dynasty. Democracy was brought in. Criminals live without fear. Cheats and the corrupt are secure. Family rule occupies politics. Democracy is crippled. 18. 08.2018

Love seeking stalkers are harmless Though a nuisance. Company seeking ones are harmless Though irksome. Flesh seeking stalkers are dangerous And must be dealt with. Woman's figure tempts man's passion. Woman knows it. 17.08.2018

Wrong done, pay for it. Wrong done, seek pardon. Wrong done, repent it. Wrong done, confess to Him. None of them is valid If the wrong is repeated. 15.08.2017

The hero waylays the heroine; She is annoyed at his advance. He persists in his endeavours. She gives in, to be his sweetheart. Literature has pictured it. Celluloid has displayed it. Such like acts in reality Is construed as stalking women. A stalker can be anyone: A friend, a former boyfriend, A colleague, a close neighbour, Or a stranger getting crush on her. He is a rejected stalker Who nurtures his love failure. He is a love obsessed stalker Who hopes his love to be requited. He is a predator stalker Who gets mental high in chasing. The grudge stalker is the one Who acts from the unfair treatment. He can be erotomanic Who is mad of some celebrities. Four out of five are man stalkers. Polygamy of male manifests. 13.08.2017

Actions can be conditional, Or optional or natural. When conditional, the credit, Good or bad, to the doers Is the least, and maximum When it is natural. The help given to one unasked Will amount to be natural. The help given on request Will amount to be optional. The help given by commitment Will amount to be conditional. Retaliation is conditional. Tolerance is optional. Pardon is natural. Elevate your actions good From conditional to natural. 13.08.2017

I married her, a widow with a child, From the crush on her, valued by pity. I conducted her to her contentment And brought up the girl as if my daughter. She made a cleavage between her and me When her daughter has grown into woman. With no child of mine, as preceded by her, I felt I went childless and pairless too. Indian mindset is unfit for marriage Of women or men having their children. 09.08.2017
