Shed a tear and rinse our sins!

Let's shed a tear for all those trees we massacared to furnish our homes

Let's shed a tear for all those animals we slaughtered in the name of sports

Let's shed a tear for all the rivers we polluted
In the name of prosperity

Let's shed a tear for all the mountains we mercilessly chopped in the name of growth

Let's shed a tear for all the pollutants we dumped in the seas and suffocated the life there

Let's shed a tear for all the birds we made homeless to build homes for us

Let's shed a tear for all the bees who lost their way, for us to check social media nonstop on our phones

Let's shed a tear for all the forests that we burnt with the fire of our greed

May be then, when all of humanity cries together for the sins we committed for generations, may quench the fire we ignited in the breast of mother nature. 

Then may be she will cry for us too, like a mother who sees the repentence in the eyes of her devastated children.

May be then, we will earn her forgiveness and she will help us rebuild our lives and rediscover our connection with the larger universe.

And when we find that connection again, we have the chance to be truly free!

May be again we will cry tears of joy together and sing the songs of happiness with all the creations of mother earth.

Come my friend cry a river and wash our sins
That's our only route to redemption!

You complete me!

Just as the birds are happiest when their wings kiss the sky Just as the babies sleep blissfully Listening to their mother's lullaby You complete me Just as the butterflies blissfully suckle at the flowers Just as the lovers stare at the window of their love for hours You complete me Just as the earth devotedly revolves around the sun Just as the seven colours in sunlight Become one You complete me You are the poetry my soul has been seeking for years Your laughter and smiles brings me Fresh happy tears Together we are complete and strong Together we can make right all that's wrong You complete me Be with me forever till I'm alive Breathe with me & never leave my side Complete my life and stay in there forever fill my soul with happiness and pride You complete me

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
