Night dissolves, day breaks
Pray to the retreating star
Cover with darkness.

Sunlit Life
Grow from within
Fall on your knees and pray
Yells of joy
Wariness goes away
Sifting of sands in your palm
Energy of its own
That envelops the world around
The roots come to life
Sun goes larger and larger
Fires up your face
You remain calm, you feel
Deep garges inside
You want to lift yourself
In the crowd of trees and bushes
Like nothing seen before
Dissolve into sunlit life.
Fall on your knees and pray
Yells of joy
Wariness goes away
Sifting of sands in your palm
Energy of its own
That envelops the world around
The roots come to life
Sun goes larger and larger
Fires up your face
You remain calm, you feel
Deep garges inside
You want to lift yourself
In the crowd of trees and bushes
Like nothing seen before
Dissolve into sunlit life.

Simulated Life
A future
I want to cherish
A lot of sunshine
Warm the multitude
A visible rainprint
Moist the lonely soul
A silver moon
Bring joy and solace
A ray of happiness
Colours the canvass
A simulated life
Blossom in muted silence.

Take a Risk Today
One of my friends always insists me to invest money in equity
market and see the result. I always counter him saying ‘it’s too
risky’. His point is very clear, ‘See, Taking risk is nothing but
accepting a challenge. If you are not willing to take risk, you are
as good as dead.’
Here equity market is not the issue but his point on risk is worth
listening. To win without risk is triumph without glory. If you don’t
risk anything, you risk even more of being idle and become
pessimistic.
Allow optimism to take root in your every action and it will surely
inspire you to take risk. Focus on a big picture, take it as an
experiment and you feel more energized to do things in a better
way.
Risk is the first friend of the oilmen. Take the case of any exploration activity. Every country scrambles for new energy resources nowadays. In oil business,
punching a hole in land or sea bottom carries an enormous
amount of risk because it entails huge amount of money. But
that does not discourage the oil companies to stop exploration
works.
Here we are taking risk based on the scientific study and also we
have a larger goal of achieving energy security of the country in
general and mankind in particular. Taking a risk and ultimately
even it fail, in this case, will enable you to acknowledge
failure and learn and develop yourself for the future endeavor.
We maintain risk and reward policy in the industry which is a
symbiotic system of dependencies. If one element functions
properly, other element will give you the desired results.
The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all (Nehru
once told)) or Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Comfortable inaction (John Kennedy observed) does not lead to
anywhere.
Life is at risk- We heard it so often and it’s almost cliché but it
is true. Our life improves when we take chances. What you risk
reveals what you value and something you care about. After
taking risk, if you succeed it will calm your soul, lift your spirit,
make your heart rejoicing and keep you going.
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
Come out of your comfort zone and act yourself and reap the
harvest even it is not for you but for the mankind as a whole.
Invisible feeling of risk can transform into visible deeds and
accomplishments.
As they say, Take calculated risk without being rash. In the
name of risk, you should not be turn out to be a gambler. But
then, how far we should go and take risk. Is risk is another name
of optimism?
People often say- Optimism means having faith that things will
turn out well in a given situation—and often, they do. But even
when they don’t, a positive energy leads us to find the gifts that
are hidden in any difficult challenge.
The Universe will reward you if you take risks on its behalf. Take
risk as a challenge, as an experiment which is a winning effort
even it pans out or not. Then only, you can show light to others
for progress to prosperity. But who will summon courage and
take the risk telling the truth? Perhaps, each one of us will.

Haiku123...
1.
Night glides past slowly
You wait for the morning dew
Rinse your dream drenched face.
2.
You sit calm and quit
Lighting up every moment
Freedom stands apart.
3.
We stay united
Under the red tinted sky
Be not forgotten.
Night glides past slowly
You wait for the morning dew
Rinse your dream drenched face.
2.
You sit calm and quit
Lighting up every moment
Freedom stands apart.
3.
We stay united
Under the red tinted sky
Be not forgotten.

Rain Walk
Rain, rain, come again. A crackle at first and the heart goes
green with lushness. It starts with drip drop falling down falling
down, to patter patter and finally comes with lightening,thunder
and in torrents. Time has come to welcome the grey skies and
pray for more rain. All your despairs swell in the building clouds.
You come out in the open and get drenched in the desolate
world.
No one is there in the pavement, in the shining street, in the
boulevard, in the park. On the window pane, tiny circular
raindrops inspire creepers and pot plant on the rain drenched
balcony.
You walk in the softest sound of music of rain. “Who hears
music, feels his solitude peopled at once?” You share that
rare moment of unlocking imprisoned splendor and entering of
shimmering light.
All the offices and shops are closed. One or two odd buses or
cars sizzle past you, splashing water on your body. A few wet
birds flying over the white temple.
Crows and pigeons sit on the terraces of the tall buildings,
flapping their wings. You dig inside and feel some light, some
darkness, some known, and some unknown.
The ceaseless rain
Soften lush green garden plots
can two opposite souls merge?
The contour of the landscape, the blurred shadow of mountain
behind, the forlorn moist moment -all roll into a magical interface
of the inside and outdoor. The thin dim light of the lamppost as if
joining hands in strong entreaty with the grim surroundings.
You walk alone on the slippery road and whistle a song. On the
riverside, the terrible current of the river, waves shapes like a
rolling wheels, the fiery sound of water lashing the shore, the
boat lies there caressing the bank vigorously invite fear on your
wrinkled face. The evening light slowing and dissolving on the
horizon.
You keep your calmness and walk on in blinding rain. Your rain
drenched body shiver in the cold wind, in the blistering storm.
You enter the park, sit on the wet bench and wash your tears
in rain. Over your face the shadows of the sickly evening fall.
These shadows shall protect you as you stroll on by trying to find
something you lost along your life's path.
Now, it’s drizzling and the lazy raindrops fall on your soft palm
and leave impression of your solitary mind.
The slow whispers in your eyes in frame
Stick to your cold lips the rain prints
and echo of your inaudible words.
You stay under the trees. You exchange silent words with the
dark brown bark, with the round heavy trunk, with the broken
branches, with the falling leaves.
Tiny bushes rear their head and start a conversation on rhymes
of rain. Who shall plant? Who will garner? Strange sounds of
beast scare you. Are they near?
Where are the honey bees? The grasshoppers are as if flying
past in a rage. You try to catch firefly and you fail at the end of
the day done and dusted.
You touch the wet petals. How keen they are to listen to your
words? Your frail fingers touch the grass and weed and they turn
green. Shadows fall gradually on your face and envelop the fear.
The greatest strength is used to form
A rainbow of resonance that spur the
Sixth sense of each and all.
There, that is final secret: Go to sleep! You will wake, and
remember, and understand.
