WHAT A HIGH !!!!

India soars in economy,
India soars in technology….
Bright in the world scanner,
Indian Flag our proud banner.
As heads are held up in pride,
In cloud nine we Indians ride.

Indian techies shine bright,
When world of experts unite.
They who’re homeward bound,
Stand firm on patriotic ground.
Their efforts showed us the way,
Moon was just a glance away.

The symbol of romance,
Exclusive in its stance.
Moon defines all that’s pretty,
She is the symbol of beauty.
Now she is a commitment,
A symbol of our achievement.

Hail the Chandrayan 3 crew,
As India enters space age new.
All hail the ISRO champions,
Beware of the developed scions.
Wanting the moon was fantasy,
But today it is a stark reality.

ICE SCULPTURES

So much left unseen,
Nature’s blue ‘n green.
Some hidden obscure,
In air nascent ‘n pure.

Light shines so bright,
Brown capped in white.
Reflections look so nice,
In streaks of floating ice.

Untouched and nascent,
Fearless and complacent.
Far from mankind terror,
Reflections in frozen mirror.

Beauty floats in the air,
Beauty floats on water.
Beauty draped is nature,
The Arctic Ice Sculpture.

SUNSET SOLACE

A tired sun calls it a day,
Shadows cast long and deep.
Sails up the sailors say,
Its time for the world to sleep.

Sun dips in scene sulime,
A smiling plunge into darkness.
Clocks tick to the end of time,
In a world devoid of happiness.

Sailor singing the blues,
Homeward bound at end of day.
Sky drapes in happy hues,
Sorrows are driven so far away.

The last glow of fading light,
A charming way to say goodbye.
Fear creeps in with the. night,
As darkness brings a stifled cry.

Oh what harmony of odds,
Nature weaves joy in our sorrow.
In a crossfire of Devil ‘n Gods,
Let us wait for a better tomorrow.

THE SUN SWINGS TO A NEW YEAR

The last lap unfolds,
The race lasted a year.
Who gives the accolades?
Why there’s none to cheer?
Let bygone be bygone,
Say hello to a New Year.

Memories get blurred,
Memoirs swept aside.
Goodbyes lost in time,
Some had left the ride.
2023 is sent to archive,
2024 is the onward stride.

Nation’s progress died,
In psuedo-politcal debate.
Economy had ups ‘n downs,
With fluctuating bank rate.
2023 is sent to archive,
2024 stands at the gate.

Forget the troubles of today,
Dream of a better tomorrow.
May your dreams come true,
Grit shall wipe your sorrow.
2023 was your yesterday,
2024 your bright tomorrow.

Gen Alpha is completed…..
The largest populated ‘Gen’.
A couple of billions born,
There’s a queue at every lane.
2023 was quite a rat race,
2024 is predicted insane.

Let the party roll they say,
As sun sets on a sky clear.
On silhouette of a tree bough,
The sun swings to a New Year.
2023 we bid thee goodbye,
2024 we welcome with a cheer.

A nest nestled on the green mountain slopes,
Where the wind’s whispers intertwine with hopes.
Amidst verdant greens, a sanctuary takes shape,
Nature’s cradle, where dreams gently drape.

Guardian trees stand tall, a silent choir,
Their boughs cradle stories, each leaf a squire.
The mountain echoes tales in the language of stone,
Where the nest finds solace, a place to call its own.

Above, the sky weaves a tapestry of blue,
Below, a canvas of meadows painted anew.
In this haven perched on nature’s embrace,
A symphony of life, a timeless grace.

Do I see wings brush against the canvas of the sky,
Does the nest continue to hold secrets, a realm up high.
On green mountain slopes, where echoes softly roam,
A sanctuary thrives, a cherished home.
The above is a forward from my IIM Bangalore batchmate, Shakti. – Ramesh Srinivasan

UNSUNG GLORY

Tanquility in silver rain,
The moon sets in pain.
Clouds have a silver line,
White specks on dark pine.

Gorgeous in her night gown,
A charming lady goes down.
Her light shines one last time,
Sky gets dressed in its prime.

All focussed in east – gaze,
As sun peeks thro’ the haze-
Unsung glory is in the west,
Queen of the night goes to rest.
