  • Go the extra mile

    Can you go the extra mile?
    Can you go the extra mile?

    Life can be wonderful,
    Each second can make you smile!
    But to see its true beauty,
    It will need you to go the extra mile!!

    Can you trust people?
    On whom nobody will bet!
    But if you can do it honestly,
    It can become a big asset !!

    Can you show goodness?
    Even to those unfair to you!
    It will reap you true friends,
    Who can make miracles come true!!

    Can you practice strong faith?
    In times that will shake your patience!
    You will reap all success possible,
    Only if you can maintain your balance !!

    You will definitely need courage,
    To achieve anything worthwhile!
    The only question you face is,
    Are you ready to go the extra mile??

  • Ripple of Hope

    When nothing around you is going your way,
    When nobody is hearing what you have to say..
    Times like these are the real test of your will,
    For amid storms is the challenge to stand still..

    When your life will take a sudden turn,
    When you will reach a point of no return
    Just keep moving ahead despite of every hurdle,
    For there is always light at the end of the tunnel..

    When all you get is blow after blow,
    When every hope and promise seems hollow
    You have to decide how high you want to rise,
    For you know in every crisis there is a prize..

    When nobody around you knows what to do,
    When everybody is searching for a clue
    That is the time for you to stand strong,
    For every night ends no matter how long..

    When everything looks like falling apart,
    It is very important not to loose heart
    For every step you take against the slope,
    You are giving rise to a ripple of hope..

    Let us all spread a ripple of hope
    Let us all spread a ripple of hope


  • The Beauty of Indian Monsoon

    Kids enjoying the rains
    Kids enjoying the rains

    When the earth gets wet,
    All sorrows when one forgets!
    It is that time of the year again,
    When you want to walk in the rain!!

    When the fields are green,
    Every face has a new sheen!
    You will forget your every pain,
    When clouds roar and it starts to rain!!

    When the rivers rise and swell,
    Tales of joy when everybody tells!
    There is no dream you can’t attain,
    When your spirit is inspired by the rain!!

    When kids love to dance and play,
    When all emotions are on display!
    Nobody loses, and everybody gains,
    The rainbow is above, and below it rains!!

    When the young get romantic,
    As the weather sings its latest lyric!
    The mood is difficult to explain,
    When the sky is grey, and it rains!!

    Monsoon in India is not just a season,
    To lips waiting to smile it gives a reason!
    What it means to many is hard to explain,
    It is best felt by getting drenched in the rain!!

  • Pick a Fight – A poem

    It is time
    It is time

    Life is so great,
    Why should you wait?
    You are a hero,
    Go show some bravo!
    The light will shine bright,
    If we decide to pick a fight!!

    Few of us are not so lucky,
    Want to make them happy?
    Then this is your chance,
    Their dreams we can enhance!
    The possibilities are infinite,
    Let us all pick a fight!!

    This is your life’s journey,
    Are you going to live it fully?
    Find out what interests you,
    We have a lot on our menu!!
    Let your hopes rise like a kite,
    Big or small, but pick a fight!!

    You can make a difference,
    Light the world with brilliance!
    Step outside of your shadow,
    But don’t wait for tomorrow!
    A new fire let us today ignite,
    This is our chance to pick a fight!!

    It’s time to welcome the new,
    If not me and you, then who?
    Let us create a new future,
    Which is sweet and not bitter!
    Together we must all unite,
    Now is the time to pick a fight!!

  • It’s part of the game

    "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius
    "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." – Confucius

    When you play football,
    Often you will slip and fall
    Then you won’t look for advice,
    You don’t even think twice,
    You just get back up again,
    Because it’s part of the game!!

    Life is also very similar,
    Only the playing field is bigger
    At times you will win every battle,
    Nothing will seem like a struggle
    You will win awards and acclaim,
    This is just one part of the game!!

    But life is not a fantasy,
    At times it will go crazy
    Even easier roads will look tough,
    It will seem life is playing a bluff
    Don’t wonder what life became,
    Because this is another part of the game!!

    Falling and getting back up,
    That is how our life is setup
    When the night seem longer,
    It is only making us stronger
    Nothing is wrong, none should we blame,
    Because it is all part of the same game!!

    Hardships are life’s little tests,
    They are as real as our conquests
    Every fall and wound is like a teacher,
    The lesson is ours to find and discover
    In failing there should never be shame,
    For getting up is also a part of the game!

    Get back up, and dust off your clothes,
    Make the best of whatever life throws
    Take control, and be proud of who you are,
    See for yourself you can go how much far
    It’s again the time to play, to take a big aim,
    Hit or miss, it is all part of the game!!

  • You Have Only One (life)

    Life is short,
    Make the most of it!
    Life is a sport,
    Go for the big hit!!

    Dance in the rain,
    And cherish the rainbow!
    You won’t live it again,
    Don’t make it a no-show!!

    Love and learn,
    Laugh your heart out!
    This is your turn,
    Play before you checkout!!

    Life is everywhere,
    Life is now!
    Go out and dare,
    Don’t think how!!

    Life is a dance,
    Go have some fun!
    Take every chance,
    You have only one!!

    “Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways.”
    “Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways.”


  • Crossing the Road

    When one crosses a road,
    It’s a triumph over a challenge!
    In few steps hope is echoed,
    Inspiring others to take a plunge!!

    Roads get crossed everyday,
    By people like me and you!
    Many will follow the way,
    But lead shall only a few!!

    Have you rested too much,
    Then why not begin to play?
    It’s time to leave the crutch,
    And see what is far far away!!

    Riding on the shoulders of hope,
    And dancing under the blue sky!
    Jump holding on to destiny’s rope,
    And even gravity we shall defy!!

    Lets leap into a dream land,
    Where nothing is impossible!
    It is time for all of us to stand,
    To fight for and win our battle!!

    On the way hardships might arise,
    If you think you can’t take the load!
    Just close your eyes and visualize,
    The sight of a man crossing a road!!

    Take hope from smallest of acts
    Take hope from the smallest of acts


  • Best Friends are a rare breed

    A best friend is a treasure,
    With qualities not to measure!
    They know what you want to hear,
    And will tell you quietly in your ear!!

    When lost, they show you the way,
    In troubles, they will not let you sway!
    They know the real you from within,
    They know your secrets like a twin!!

    In the darkness of night,
    They shine and show the light!
    In their company you will not fall,
    In crisis they will hold you like a wall!!

    They take away your pain and fear,
    Even if far apart, they are always near!
    Even when they know you are guilty,
    They take the blame and set you free!!

    Without reason whom you can trust,
    Friends like these are called the best!
    A friend in need is a friend indeed,
    But best friends like you are a rare breed!!

  • Start, even if it is just YOU

    There is life, and there is death,
    Lets make the most of every breath!
    One moment you live, next you die,
    Laugh often, but never you cry!!

    When you feel alone,
    Just look into the sky!
    Enjoy life in the unknown,
    And aim for a new high!!

    When you face a challenge,
    You can give up, or you can try!
    Be brave and take the plunge,
    Who knows, maybe you can fly!!

    Each day you meet new people,
    Some will say Hi, and some Bye!!
    As life plays itself in a circle,
    Enjoy it fully, no need to ask why??

    The grass is green, the sky blue,
    And the road is always nearby!
    Each dream you must pursue,
    Start, even if it is just YOU!!

  • Oh God Make Me Holy, But Not Today

    Use your power wisely
    Use your power wisely

    It is the time of election,
    You’ve got to vote for someone!
    None is purer than Satan,
    It’s a shame, but it’s got to be done!!

    They give money and freebies,
    And try to buy our voting power!
    Only when you sell it for few rupees,
    The servant becomes the master!!

    Occupying the highest office,
    They do nothing but promise!
    They must say when they pray,
    Oh God make me Holy, but not today!!

  • Messenger of hope

    They have ignored us, had their share of laughs and now they are fighting us, Victory is near
    They have ignored us, had their share of laughs and now they are fighting us, Victory is near

    The whole country has come together,
    As people fast with their countrymen!
    Anna Hazare’s fast is getting bigger,
    For all our dreams about India, Amen!!

    The World Cup win united us,
    As people came out on the roads!!
    Corruption is something serious,
    It is high time public anger explodes!!

    It is only an act of sacrifice,
    No point in just being angry!
    A small act of yours will suffice,
    For one day, just stay hungry!!

    Make the people around you aware,
    And let the corrupt see we are awake!
    Let them find a place to hide somewhere,
    To their activities let us put a brake!!

    It is our country, our money,
    Will not let it go down the slope!
    Let us all support Annaji fully,
    For he is our messenger of hope!!

  • Fast with Anna

    He is going on a fast unto death,
    Anna Hazare has declared!
    Let us say with our every breath,
    The corrupt will not be spared!!

    We demand the Jan Lokpal Bill,
    Will not settle for anything less!
    Let them not test our will,
    It is time our problems they redress!!

    All of us have come together,
    And fasting on 5th Apr/16th Aug in unity!
    Sacrificing our meals for the future,
    We demand retribution for the guilty!!

    It is the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi,
    And the Freedom Park in Bangalore!
    Join the fast venue in your city,
    To show you care, and will not ignore!!

    Or fast at your workplace,
    And wear a badge for the cause!
    Invite others you see and face,
    High time we replace the old laws!!

    By fasting in every town and city,
    It is time to make a statement!
    By taking collective action we,
    Will turn this fast into a movement!!

    Fast in whichever city you are
    Fast in whichever city you are
  • We walk for change!!

    It was a sight to see,
    And a moment to experience!
    Just a walk, nothing fancy,
    When people walked out of conscience!!

    Flagged off by a freedom fighter,
    We took a route embedded in history!
    400 awake citizens walked together,
    On a day which was hot and sunny!!

    The heat was no match to our will,
    For we were united against corruption!
    We marched for the Jan Lokpal Bill,
    And demanded it for the whole nation!!

    We walked for change
    We walked for change

    There were people across cultures,
    Students & professionals, young and old!
    Seeking punishment for the vultures,
    A new age dawns, this is the threshold!!

    Four hours and eleven kilometers,
    Posters, slogans and the flying tricolor!
    The knife of the money launderers,
    Will not be allowed to go any deeper!!

    Many joined us on the way,
    Knowing the end is far, but in range!
    Our country you will not betray,
    We walk in peace, but for change!!

  • Let us Walk

    Working hard all day,
    We all earn whatever we do!
    Every month we get our pay,
    Where it goes do we have any clue?

    A big part is deducted as tax,
    To be used to run the country!
    While we sit back and relax,
    Our money becomes a mystery!!

    It is meant to be spent on the needy,
    And to build roads, bridges and dams!!
    Instead it fills the pockets of the greedy,
    Leading to frauds, rackets and scams!!

    How long will we be silent,
    Till when can we shut our eyes?
    Its time to stop acting decent,
    Like the phoenix let us all rise!!

    Let us be a little mad,
    Nothing wrong in being angry!
    All our money if we add,
    Can feed all who are hungry!!

    It is time to rise from our sleep,
    And demonstrate we will take no more!
    They have burnt our pockets deep,
    This is our time to show them the door!!

    Together if we all stand,
    We can give them a big shock!
    So holding hand in hand,
    Let us walk, let us WALK!!

  • Why God made Mothers?


    Let me tell you a story,
    Which is played in every home!
    About an angel who lives among us,
    Whether it is Delhi, Paris or Rome!!

    You may ask who is she,
    Who fills our lives with sunshine!
    Close your eyes and just say,
    She is the wonderful mother of mine!!

    For I can bet that,
    When you did close your eyes!
    What you felt was,
    The joy of the strongest of all ties!!

    We will always be a child to her,
    Though she has seen us grow fivefold!!
    If we follow the tears she shed for us,
    It will lead to her heart of gold!!

    We work all week long,
    And always cherish our Sundays!
    But the most ungrateful job is hers,
    For she choses not to take any off days!!

    The wonderful days of childhood,
    We would do anything for a recap!
    I will tell you one way you could,
    Just sleep again in your mother’s lap!!

    When God created the world he knew,
    Every time he can’t come to the rescue!
    He could foresee the future horrors,
    And that’s why He made Mothers!!
