A Time Matched By No Other

A very happy birthday to you,
My dear.
Another year older, the more you are wiser,
Don’t worry, dreams are about to come true, there’s no place for fear.

May you get everything you desire, And the dangerous pandemic leaves you unaffected.
Your close ones remain safe, by your side,
And the weight of the test of times is successfully hefted.

We don’t talk as much as we used to, this thought makes me shudder,
But I know you’ll always be my favourite sister and I’ll be your best brother.
Hope this year will bring lots of joy and happiness in your life,
A time matched by no other.

Walk on the Same Lane

From the very beginning,
I had this spark in my mind to bring about a change.
Starting from the boycott of refrigerants and air conditioners,
Till the complete stoppage of all kinds of other pollutants, they had to range.

It was around four years ago, I remember,
When I first presented my idea.
Voices were raised and I was declared a complete fool by common consent,
I was the center of laughter for the next few days because of my revolutionary mania.

I gave up consuming refrigerated items,
As soon as this idea occurred to me.
No more comfort of the air conditioned rooms,
Cause I knew success never comes free.

Not a single soul came to my side and recognised my efforts,
Instead, they always tried to ignore.
But I did not lose hope and continued my revolution on a small personal scale,
And whenever anyone tried to suppress me along with my ideas, I was always prepared to reply with a roar.

The years passed by,
I am still yearning for support.
Yes, the lone warrior of this idea welcomes all of you to give your contribution in whatever way you can,
And help in improving the environmental report.

I don’t regret anything,
Though, since then, I have had a tough life.
If we can move higher with this idea then my happiness can’t be reduced,
Even with a cut from a knife.

I hope all of my sacrifices,
Won’t go away in vain.
Let’s join our hands together and bring some difference in the world,
Success is not very far away if all of us walk on the same lane.

These Little Hobbies

Just to spend some free time
We all find unique ways
These things soon begin to define our personality
And helps us to lead the success race

These little hobbies looks so small
Yet becomes so crucial as we grow up
Our interests might change over the course of time
But their significance can’t be judged

So become a master of your own self
And keep on doing what you like
Don’t fall in traps that others may try to set for you
Beause you are the one who has got to shine

I Am Not Pleased

The virus is spreading fast,
The pandemic has hit its peak.
The exams got cancelled,
When they were away just a week.

It feels like all the hard work,
Went in vain.
But it is also true,
That not marks but knowledge is supposed to be gained.

Nothing much productive to do,
Just lying all day in the room,
Watching and playing some cricket,
Be it morning, evening or afternoon.

Thinking of taking up some new activities,
To enhance my personality.
But the energy level is low,
And I don’t know why!

Everything around feels to have slowed down,
Cause there is a lot of free time.
Just reading Christie and some other good writers,
Be it fantasy, fiction or crime.

Also listening to a lot of music,
Which seemed impossible just three days ago.
Now I can do whatever I want to,
And got a contended face to show.

The duration of every single day,
Suddenly feels to have increased.
It’s kind of confusing but still,
I won’t say, “I am not pleased.”

Shatter Every Dream

The sadness has crept up in mind,
And nothing can be done.
Just “Stay Home, Stay Safe”,
There is no use thinking about another ton.

Felt like I was on the top of the world,
The feeling was great.
But just a little carelessness,
Made it all go in vain.

Tired of these circumstances,
Everyone is, of course.
But we should understand that the situation has worsened,
And now there is no place left even for the corpse.

This is not the right time to act selfish,
And co-operate as a team.
Or else the strain will continue,
And shatter every dream.

We need to break the chain,
Instead of becoming it’s part.
And we must fight out of it together,
By staying apart.
