Sisyphus, the evil king of Greece Condemned to death by gods of Greece, Escaped the death by treachery, to be Mortified again to a stupendous task: To roll a boulder over a hill top To have it roll back to the hill bottom; He was cursed to repeat the task for long. Knowing it futile, he undertook the task. Life is devoid of its intrinsic meaning. We give it a value from an illusion. Inventions and artificers are beauticians. The absurd hero takes no refuges In illusion, arts, crafts and religions, And despairs not to face absurdity, Which he escapes not but embrace. Absurdity is life that he is aware. Life is meaningless; life is purposeless. Absurdity is the core of living. Uncertainty is the norm of life. To repose faith in God brings no relief. Suicide is an escape to be condemned. Acceptance to the life's futility Is the route left for the people to tread Like Sisyphus on the task assigned to him. 04.10.2017 (Albert Camu...

AUM is three syllabi word: As, Uu and Mm. Aa is jagart, the waking consciousness; Uu is swapna, the dreaming consciousness; Mm is sushupta, the sleeping consciousness. The silence between two successive sums Is the fourth dimension of consciousness, Turia, Which is the base of all sounds and gives support To the other three dimensional consciousness. In the waking, mind and senses are active. In the dreaming, mind and senses are inactive. In the sleeping, mind and senses are suspended And the self sinks below subconscious level. Here the soul is well in proximity To the cosmic consciousness and returns Recharged and revived for the next cycle. Pronounce AUM to realize all four stages. 03.10.2017

The body is there and mind is elsewhere. You breathe in and out; mind is unaware. When you're aware of your breath in and out You would bring your mind home to your body And when your mind is placed with your body You would be there truly where you exist, Feeling your presence within yourself, Which itself is the source of peace and bliss. Now and then for sometime focus your mind On your breathing, with mind traveling Along with the breath inhaled and exhaled, With eyes shut; you'll have had mindful breathing. Mindful breathing is an easy exercise That brings about meditation as well. Breathe in and breathe out with mind set in it And see how good and how fresh you would feel. 03.10.2017

‌ Women deserted, separated and divorced Are a misfortune by means and status. They can fight for a maintenance allowance, Which is not proportional to the actual, If they themselves have no source of income. No gratuity to their past service. No claim on the wealth made after marriage. No claim on the property he enjoys. It is hight time the law on woman is redrawn. 03.10.2017

A girl’s love for her lover Is that he serves her interest. A boy’s love for his beloved Is that she responds to his wish. A woman’s love for her spouse Is that he is pampering her. A man’s love for his wife Is that she is faithful to her. A girl’s love for her parents Is that they give her freedom of choice. A boy’s love for his parents Is that they give him freedom of action. Love benefits givers, not getters In the intrinsic relationships. 02.10.2017

Some are born of ontology. Some are born of mythology. Some are from metaphysics. Some are born of individuals. Some are born of the ethics. Some are as unorganized. Under all these religions lies A link called religiousness. Religiousness links religions As the soul links organisms. To focus the visible souls Towards the invisible force And to bring closer and closer The visible and the invisible Is religiousness, which is held As religion by M K Gandhi. 02.10.2017

The partners living apart due to work Do better than those living together, With more elbow space to move about And with built up attraction from absence. The partners living apart more by choice Has become a trend for more privacy. Apart-ners are they who want their space Or are idiosyncratic or individualistic. The tendency to live apart comes down Among the aged for interdependence.. The tendency to live apart is welcome For  less friction and more  01.10.2017

Office romance is a stress buster. It is a monotony reliever And an assurer of worthiness. Office romance is a life booster. One third office goers indulge in it. A half of the married are caught in it. Men and women spend time and space together More than they do with their spouses at home. Limited exposures make the pairs lovely. Limited commitments make them dearly. Proximity and consistent presence Work out for the blossom of attraction. Be such relationship kept under the wrap, Without prejudice to their families, Without embarrassment to either of them And without leaving traces to the known. 01.10.2017

Man is seen from his action And is known from his reaction. He acts from the conscious mind And react from the subconscious. One's reaction betrays oneself. Reaction reveals one’s true colours. Action is from calculation. Reaction is from spontaneity And spontaneity yields reality. Judge a man from his reaction. 01.10.2017

Nuv Rathri  is a nine nights festival. Goddess in display for people to see; People throng the site to show each other. Time spent, money spent, Hindus spent themselves. No rise as the result in the level Of spirituality and morality. No fall as the result in the level Of criminality and cruelty. National holidays for it a waste; 30.09.2017

A woman satisfies another one By using her tongue and fingers as male’s. She self satisfies by fingering. A man satisfies another man By using his mouth and anus as female's. He self satisfies by using his fist. Sex of man and woman facing taboos, Sex unnatural is practised as casual. 23.09.2017

She is his aunt, his age, at twenty-five,, Living with her rich husband, twice her age, And is at liberty to entertain him As her nephew in his frequent visits. He misjudges her sexual appetite And misbehaves with her in her kitchen, when alone, with his uncle away. He misfires as she gets rage and holds him. 'What if your uncle is to know of this? What if your father is to know of this? What if your mother falls a victim of this? Woman is not cheap to cheat on spouse. ' Her each word falls as a slap on his heart. His misfired guess on account of age And the retaliations of it make him An adultery proof in all his life. Village women still value chastity. 23.09.2017

A poet meet with delegates of both sex, Young and old, of different states, took place. A woman from south with attractive features And a man from north west, with imposing frame Drew the eyes of the poets, man and woman. He to her and she to him stood the best. His north pole and her south positioned For the magnetic force to operate in full. The assembly of strangers was a push. Their facility of stay was a nudge. The unthreatened secrecy gave a boost. The union of passion took in her chamber. Both have been charged fully from each other, Without prejudice to their naive spouses, To give a boost to their sagging libidos, Which will reflect in their marital sex. 22.09.2017 Guntur

Children share mother’s love. Children share father’s love. Women share man’s sexual love. Why not men, of woman’s love? Why must it be hold as unchaste? Patriarchal society must answer. 20.09.2017

Desire is the means of pleasure. Without desire, life is a bore. See you don’t wilt without it. See you aren’t drowned in excess. To see beauty is from desire. To hear music is from desire. Taste of one's life is from desire. Desire is not a sin to kill. 16.09.2017

From the quills to fountain pens To chalk to ball and gel pens To typewriter, to keyboards, Transition has come in writing stick From walls to clothes, To slates to blackboards To paper to monitors Transition has come in writing pad. Taking down notes on paper Is superior to use keyboards. Reading notes on the blackboard Is superior to seeing in the monitor. There is more concentration and focus In seeing and copying. There is better hand eye coordination In writing with own hand. Reading in a hard copy scores Over reading in an eBook. Greeting made by pen scores. Over greeting in soft copy.. Let a pupil learn from lecture. Let he/she learn from the blackboard. Let he/she take down on paper. Let them write what they learn. Blackboard in classroom is still the best. Handwriting of lesson is still the best. Teaching involves emotions. Internet can serve an aid and no more. 15.09.2017

What you saw, heard, smelt, tasted or felt Can remain in you as taste to reminisce. That taste is superior to five senses. Memory is the reservoir of tastes. Reminiscence helps you with supply of taste When you are in paucity of stimuli . 15.09.2017

To attain and to retain; To achieve and to sustain; To succeed and to proceed; To defend and protect; Ego is the propeller. 14.09.2017

I don’t disrespect who all respect me. I don’t respect who all have ignored me. I don’t have regret to leave any field That has failed to earn me any credit. I shall compliment who all have helped me. I shall not grudge who all have stood in my way. I shall forget the place not remunerative And the events that were unproductive. I am on the verge with limited life. Help me, my children, die with pain addressed. 14.09.2017

The welfare of the society Is a joint venture And the joint responsibility Of the law makers and law enforcers, Of content providers and service producers, And of conductors and participants.

Does a one night stand with a stranger count Or an emotional entanglement With a friend without a corporal touch? Men more than a half and women less than a half Nurture emotional affairs outside. One fifth of either sex is having sex With other than the spouse sometimes in life. The wholesome bread winners are most likely To cheat their partners, be it he or she. Men and women in external affairs Are tolerant with their partner’s transgression, To protect their relationships on love. However, being unfaithful to the spouse Is an emotional burden to bear. One falls for the other not that the one Is more attractive than the one owned, Not that there is no domestic harmony, Not that there is no sexual eagerness. To find self-worth in someone’s acceptence Is a thrill, with a license to be erotic. Living with an attractive chaste partner, Lovely kids, royal connections, Status and financial security, One still wants to risk th...

You will be impervious to the perceived Power of the supposed god men If you have a strong belief in your self And conviction in thoughts and values. Followers give power to the God men And become insecure and follow them. 10.09.2017

Socrates, the Knower, didn’t know That the earth was not flat, nor stationery. Founders of the religions didn’t know That the earth was a globe and rotating. Krishna, the incarnation, didn’t tell That the earth was revolving the sun. The knowledge has been incomplete all time And is in the process of unfurling. As such no man had been or has been Or will be a representative of the God. 07.09.2017
