Come! Let's see some secrets,

Come! Let's see some secrets,

That we all know, but tend to forget,

The secret to see the world, and look within ourselves,

To find and cherish all the goodness,

To observe and change the bad stuff present,

Come! Let's see some secrets.

Finding happiness in little things around,

Keeps our mind and body, sound,

Finding sadness in larger causes around,

Keeps our values, our life purpose bound,

We, the people can surely do miracles,

When we wear these invisible spectacles.

Happiness in little things, seems only easy to say,

But believe, it won't be so tough,

Let's think it in a simpler way,

It's all around, 

In a yummy breakfast with family, 

A delicious lunch with colleagues,

Or a simple dinner with close friends,

We are nothing, but really really lucky to have.

Under the warm sun or by a fireside in chilling winters,

Vacations fun and ice creams with loved ones in summers,

Chai and pakode in monsoon rains,

Green lands and overflowing dams,

The beauty of tress, hills, rivers, mountains and all that the world has,

We are lucky to be able to see, hear, speak, feel, do all we can,

There are human beings who can't do these,

Every minute, day and year, normal life is precious to have.

Watching the plants grow and flowers bloom,

At their own pace, so calm and cool,

The clouds, their ever changing sizes and shapes,

The sky, it's innumerous beautiful shades,

The lightnings, the rains and the snow falls,

Come in their own seasons each year, not to worry at all,

The sunrise from dawn to dusk of sunset,

The oceanic waves at their fullest on full moon to their slowest on new moon days,

Deciphering, what each of these trying to say,

Feels so much of goodness and inspiration it lays,

That everyone has to keep doing their own thing,

Whatever we do, dance or sing or anything,

We should just keep moving, 

Forward, embracing what we have, keep working,

For we all are a part of the universe, it's our duty,

For this world to run, each one of us is unique.

The next secret, is about finding sadness,

Where? in greater things around that need to change,

Finding sadness in causes, that are impacting the innocents,

The society, our values, the people, the future trends,

Being sad about these is the first step forward,

Working for a better tomorrow, for the greater good, is our duty, we can't stay coward,

Thinking of the sadness, there are many around,

One maybe in front of us, but same happening with millions, no count,

Someone suffering domestic violence, but not speaking,

A child working, but not studying,

Some discrimination in neighborhood happening,

On color, gender, caste or religion anything,

Kids and youth irresponsibly wasting time on devices,

Or social media creating in them extreme biases,

Poverty struck slums, barely making ends meet,

Climate change, pollution, The earth barely breathes,

Issues, there are many, a lot of food for thought,

Needs thinking, discussing, writing, working and much more,

For a change, an impact to be brought.

Art...Artists... The beauty of expressions

Hello artists, creating beautiful stuff out there,

Thinking of art, wrote something for all you there!

We write, sing or dance or act,

Paint, craft , do magic or any art we create,

I'm an artist, can relate to beings of similar kinds,

Right brainers, always in between hearts and minds,

We all, I feel are avatars of expressions,

Art is full of thoughts, a way of life, with beautiful creations,

I write to express myself, and if writing is an art form, 

Expressing thoughts and views is where the art is born,

In any way one likes, no limits it binds,

One question I come across every time I write,

Should I write for myself, or for my readers views and likes,

Will it be boring, common, preachy, or too disliked,

Or am I writing the same thing every time,

But this is what I feel, why shouldn't I write,

I feel this is my form, thoughts and expressions of my life,

Yes, I feel blessed to have readers giving their valuable feedback,

Lots of learning, improvement and positivity from them I fetch,

Art always grows, by both positive and critical comments,

The viewers, their time, interest and opinions are a treasure we get,

Thank you all for your time, appreciations and valuable suggestions,

Please keep reading, hope my work grabs your attention,

It's a lovely feeling, to express yourself,

Expressing in any way we can, really helps oneself,

Expression of thoughts sends positivity both outside and to our insides,

Art is beautiful, so are artists, and their hearts and minds. 

A cow, a plastic bag, and some thoughts around!

Something happened recently that really got my stomach hurt,

I was at a distance, ran and tried to stop it, but couldn't do much,

There I was, watching something that shouldn't have happened,

But it happens, daily, thousand times or more, feels saddened,

A cow eating a plastic, trying hard to chew, but couldn't, so swallowed,

Seeing it live, that plastic struck through my stomach, my heart it hollowed,

Felt like I too might be eating something that's harmful I never know,

Adulteration, artificial cheap stuff might be running the food business we don't know,

If not that, we might simply be drinking the milk from those cows,

The world comes back in full cycle somehow,

We're destroying the nature that we were born, and we depend upon,

The garbage, plastic, pollution or any harmful thing that we carry on,

Will surely harm us next, coz it's the same nature we eat, drink and live upon,  

Felt like it's us, we are the cause, for this blunder happening to nature,

It's not about one plastic or one cow, it's about every natural creature.

Be it an animal eating something harmful,

Created or used by us,

Or a bird, who is getting hurt, or losing it's home,

Because of the doings by us,

Or a forest or a tree that's destroyed, 

Due to actions by us humans,

Or this land, the earth, being dumped by tons of garbage everyday, 

Only because of us.

These creatures can't speak or think,

Can't do anything to control their surroundings,

But we have brains, can think, speak and act, 

And they are our fellow living beings,

The earth's responsibility lies with it's intelligent humans,

It's a duty, if not fulfilled, will shatter our mother earth and coming generations. 

A child, is a child! Education is his/her right!

 A child, is a child,

Born in a family or environment of any kind,

Urban or rural, upper class or lower,

Literate or illiterate, rich or poor,

For a child, education is a right!

A child, is a child,

If he/she goes to work in an industry,

Doesn't go to a school to study,

If he/she begs on the crossroads,

Or goes to work in the households,

It's not only theirs, It's our fight,

That we aren't able to get them their right!

A child, is a child,

The slums, the poors, the underprivileged rurals,

Won't ever come out of the sad spiral,

If their child doesn't study and learn,

If their child goes to work, for the family to earn,

The spiral will continue, the situation won't ever change, 

The next gen child will also face the conditions same!

A child, is a child,

Education is his/her right,

If you are reading this and remember a child,

Who you saw somewhere, working and not studying,

Then you are very heartful and kind,

If you are reading this and want to make a difference,

Find a child, help him/her start studying, 

Make this world feel your beautiful presence!

In a household poor or unprivileged,

Even if one child gets educated,

Can change the next so many generations,

In effect, changes our own society's conditions,

Gets the family out of the sad spiral,

A child's studies, then a good employment, 

The inspirations can surely go viral,

Do your bit, create an impact,

You can change the country's future in fact!
