TECHIE LIFE

2010-06-21T04:48:00.001-07:00

Techie Life

A place, dark and dingy
Two eyes staring, swollen
Glued to the screen upright
Sucking blood with techie tongues.

A table though with no work
Yet piled up with drafts
Of the ability and capability
That forced it to sit on the chair.

A head with hair falling down
Flashing the dying scalp
Hands on the mouse
That eats into the flesh of romance.

Monthly perks and all that
With avarice of fleshy world
Blunted the edge of lofty thoughts
Once flourished in literary world.

GRAVE OF THOUGHTS

2010-03-03T02:35:00.001-08:00

I think and think
Thoughts come and go
They don’t take any form
I try to catch them with meaning but in vain
For they shoot up and dissolve
Into the vast engulfing nothingness.

Thoughts inside me
Keep striving to come out of me
Hurting my heart and boggling my mind
Fall flat dashing against my insensitivity
That chained the hand of my feelings
And the rising tides of thoughts lose their existence.

COSMIC CLIMAX

2010-03-03T02:27:00.000-08:00

Cosmic Climax

Interplay between
Love and lust
Sweet and subtle
A fair sexes’ bust
Strengthens the immense pillar of humanity.

Fear of carnal sins
Relishing macho force
Seeming hesitation
Avoiding intercourse
Invites the shooting arrow of Lord Cupid.

Initial inhibition gone
Lust heat gone rusty
Emotion’s ejaculation
Into the earthly cave
Sprouts the seed of a new life in the world.

Struggle of the newborn
In the battlefield of life
Competing with the self
For the earthly survival
Refines and purifies the heart of all gross desires.

POISONOUS DAMSEL

2010-01-26T21:38:00.001-08:00

In pursuit of aesthetic sense

I was roaming in the beauty

Pining for the lessons of love

Professed by such a real cutie.

Impressed by an enticing smile

I felt encroaching her inner world

Being Ignorant of deadly venom

Of the black snake lying curled.

So charming appeared her hood

Covered with nice colorful attire

Overwhelmed, I tried to hug her

Who, in turn, set my world on fire.

Love all but with a selfless heart

Or selfishness will tear you apart.

This is the lesson I have learnt

After the gross desire was burnt.

RIGHT OR WRONG

2010-01-26T21:37:00.001-08:00

You told me to wait for some time

And I kept waiting for you to come

With sweet fragrance of the flower

Dipped in the feelings of the chum.

Tired, I got up to say no more

What I had in my heart's core

But the relation that I have had

Told me to wait furthermore.

Innumerable days already went by

Since I have had a nice talk

To the one I liked very much

All along my life’s long walk.

Why I wait and why I write

Be it the day or the night

Why I come closer or fight

Is it to me wrong or right????

REALM OF TIME

2010-01-26T21:35:00.001-08:00

Walking everyday

Along a path unknown

With many a thought

I feel walked on and on

By the invisible feet

Of great silent Time.

Eating for my health

For sustenance of self

On this existential planet

I feel devoured to bits

By the demon of Time.

Working on my desktop

Next to the diminishing face

In the corner of work place

I feel worked on and on

By the scientist of Time.

Giving a helping hand

To the needy whoever

With whatever possible

I feel helped in distress

By Samaritan of Time.

What I do and think

Of the vision in my dream

Fail to help me fly to Him

Like a bird of peace

Loitering caged in lurch

In the wings of Time.

GLOOM

2010-01-26T21:34:00.000-08:00

Smile has taken a flight

Towards the sky of gloom

As the beauty of a flower

Withered, can never bloom.

The face of our happiness

Has turned pale with sorrow

That has darkened our soul

To see the Light tomorrow.

Life seems painful to live

In the world without the one

Who was expected to come

Sweetening our life like a bun.

BHASKARANAND JHA BHASKAR

LOVE REGAINED

2010-01-26T21:33:00.000-08:00

On the flowerbed of hope

With a heart with a crack

I am waiting for someone

Who will never come back.

Sweet bonds once I had

In the bower of my heart

Quite soothing to the soul

Lost and sold in the mart.

So many days and nights

My heart had been restive

I had not known in the past

Such pain love would give.

Now time has taught me

A true lesson of compromise

To live a life of mental peace

Love, unpractical, is a surmise.

What if she was not mine

She yet remains in my life

With the thoughts of the love

I have found her in my wife.

मेरे मन का पागल पंछी

2010-01-26T21:32:00.000-08:00

प्रखर प्रभा और प्रीति की रश्मि

रवि से आलोकित सारा आकाश

अंतर्मन के हर आँगन में

जगमग जगमग प्रेम प्रकाश

मेरे मन का पागल पंछी

क्यूँ उड़ उड़ आये तेरे पास .

ज्ञात है मुझको अपनी सीमा

मन ही मन करता एहसास

भावों के उन्मुक्त गगन में

मधुर मिलन का करता आस

मेरे मन का पागल पंछी

क्यूँ उड़ उड़ आये तेरे पास .

तेरे जल का प्यासा सागर

तरप तरप के देखे राह

तेरी यादों के साये में

भटक भटक के भरते आह

प्रेम गगन में जब उड़ते उड़ते

थक जाये और लग जाये प्यास

मेरे मन का पागल पंछी

क्यूँ उड़ उड़ आये तेरे पास .

WHAT I AM

2009-12-07T20:53:00.001-08:00

I am alone; all alone here

I have no friends to talk to

No kith and kin of mine

I have no body; hence no pain

I have no mind; hence no tension

I have no heart; hence not hurt.

What I am is very subtle

Beyond the realm of pleasure and pain

Perceiving myself getting dissolved

Into the vast and infinite cosmos,

Though caged in the gross desires

Of love and lust of the world.

BHASKARANAND JHA BHASKAR

WHAT IS LOVE ?

2009-07-29T21:43:00.000-07:00

Love is a fantasy

A pleasant feeling

Tickling the strings of heart

Caressing it with sweet soft touch

Resounding life

With the music of soothing happiness.

Love is a willing drug

To the soulful youths

Intoxicating minds and heart

Making them ever lost

In the world of imagination

Of their sweet future and ecstasy.

Love is an enigma

Beyond the understanding

Of the body and the mind

But within the realm of soulful heart

Tempting the youths of all ages

To understand and measure its profundity.

Love is a sweet invisible relation

Between two hearts

Either unified by society’s hands

Or separated physically

At two different places

But united together at heart and soul.

MY INNER VOICE

2009-07-29T21:41:00.000-07:00

My inner voice
Her ear cannot hear,
Moaning in the rains
I cannot stop my tear.

Her heart is deaf
Now mine is blind,
With sobbing thoughts
And mournful mind.

It is not her fault but
That of my over expectation,
That bogs me down and down
Into the deadly depression.

REALISATION

2009-07-29T21:40:00.000-07:00

One stone of sweet words
Created romantic ripples
In the pool of my heart.
This whirlpool created such music
That made me feel drowsy
All day and night
Rearing and basking my soul
In the shade of Love.

All on a sudden
I got up startled
Hearing the loud thud
Of one more stone
Hitting my heart
To awake my mind
To be alive to the reality
On the social ground
Protected by society’s customs.

Now I find myself
More experienced
While ignoring the bed
Of fantasy and romance,
I realized my true self.

LET WEDNESDAY COME -2

2009-07-16T21:48:00.000-07:00

Mounds of thoughts and feelings
Writhe me to pour them out;
But there is no creative vision
To shape and vent them out.

Let Wednesday come
When I will chat out my feelings
For those nothing to do with them;
As they are out of their sense.

Mine is the feeling
Pure and sacrosanct
Transcending the world of flesh;
Beyond the reach of the physical heart.

Innermost intricacy of my self
Though seems strange to many
Can be realized only by those
Who have the divine sense
And deep sense of spirituality.

Eyes cannot fathom the depth
Of the ocean of feelings
Tides of love and human bonds;
Heart alone with pure thoughts
Can understand the labyrinth of Love.

BHASKARANAND JHA

LET WEDNESDAY COME

2009-07-16T03:46:00.000-07:00

Let Wednesday come
With a world of fantasy
Sweetened with love and romance-
Dipping my soul in the fragrance
Of sweet relation, love, affection,
Facilitated by hate and attraction.

Even though at a long distance
Her presence seems closer to me
With her innocent demeanor
Beautified by her sense of humor
Humming a tune of affinity
I am melted in the ocean of Eternity.

RAMP TO ROAD

2008-10-03T22:46:00.000-07:00

Full blossomed youth
Of a promising mod
Once fluttering in glee,
Faded away and withered.

Her catwalk on the ramp
Won many a heart;
By showing her talent
From the very start.

But Time’s cruel feet
Crushed her upward steps
To the zone of wantonness
From the riches to the rags.

Catapulted fame of hers
Now forced her to beg
For a bit of blue poison
Of discs and romance
To dance to the astray tunes
Satisfying men’s carnal appetite.

No photographer over there
With his staring camera
Is now willing to shoot her
Modeling with different poses
With different styles and smiles
On the ramp of insanity.

(Composed on the sad plight of model Gitanjali Nagpal found begging in the streets of Delhi )

CRAZY MAN

2008-10-01T00:05:00.000-07:00

I am a crazy man
A speedy car,
A rash driving mind
With brakeless heart
Crushing over the feelings
Of those, close to me.

I am a thirsty man
In a vast ocean of life
With parched tongue
Drunken thoughts
And barren heart
Loitering in search of love.

I am a happy man
A never smiling face
With tearless eyes
Taking pleasure in
Suffering of others.

I am an ignorant man
An innocent child
Weeping for toys
To play for his fun
But tired and bored
Throwing them down to pieces.

SUCCESS

2008-09-30T23:59:00.001-07:00

So what? If you don't succeed
Success sprouts from failure's seed
With hard toil and a little patience
Perseverance is our life's essence.
Days are not far away for the peak
From God, strength you must seek
Succes lasts longer, when comes late
Nothing snatches what is in your fate.
Never yield to any despair
Must deserve whats your share
Finally success will touch your feet
Accept what comes with true greet.
Happiness is but a state of mind
All the sorrow must leave behind.

HURLY BURLY LIFE

2008-09-30T23:56:00.000-07:00

In the hurly burly of modern life,
Which is a long and painful strife,
Fighting against all odds of time
Rampant here all sorts of crime.
Redden’d with greed eyes fall no tear
Of law or God’s fury he has no fear
Heart writhes in the pool of blood
Emotions lost in the sway of flood.
No help, or rescue for the poor soul
Grabbing undue gain is one’s goal
Feeling and sympathy are all gone
Eden of humanity and hatred has grown.
Everybody is mad with so much power
Divine interference is the need of hour
Vice deadening the goodness of heart
For fear of evils,values,virtues depart.

BHASKARANAND JHA

ORPHAN

2008-09-30T23:53:00.000-07:00

A pampered child as I was
Always loved,cuddled and respected
Due to the radiance and brilliance
Behoving my tender and soft face
Coming out of my parents' ego
Or may be of their baseless boasting.
A calm but isolated in the group
Ever lost in my own thoughts
Chalking out plans for sustaining
My ownself and my family.
Once out of college I took to teaching
The small kids blind to the fire
Of hunger and starvation devouring
The poor families of the inactive.
The wedding garland round my neck
Lowered my head and self esteem
Only to see the affairs of my own
Neglecting the plight of my parents .
I am now orphaned by none other
Than my parents for reasons still unknown.

SLAP OF TIME

2008-09-30T23:52:00.001-07:00

We are the rootless people
Uprooted from the originality:
Reality of the existence
Forgotton the source,
The seed of the past:
The plinth of our life.
The lap that cradled us in childhood,
The rod that alerted not to go astray,
The book that lighted our way,
The school that showered knowledge,
All have no meaning for us now.
Like a leafless stiff tree
With no shadow for the needy
Erected like a mountain in the desert
Showing the vainly pride and strength
Unaware of soundless slap of Time.
-- BHASKARANAND JHA

REPENTANCE

2008-09-30T23:50:00.000-07:00

What a hellish life it is!
Happiness, a mirage we long for
All try but only a few succeed
Broken, frustrated left for hovering
Between present despair and hope.
The days we are hoping for
Never tread the tender heart
Only the shadow of sorrow
Is brighter on gloomy face
To show the life, the thorny path
God has created for His amusement.
Life is a penance, repentance
Over what Man did in Eden-
By disobeying God.
BHASKARANAND JHA

27TH FEBRUARY

2008-09-30T23:49:00.000-07:00

It is the day when you were born
In a family educated well known.
Spread fragrance with your smile
Gifted with talent and natural style.
How bewitching are your big eyes!
Before your face even Beauty shies.
How lucky I am to have your hand!
Feeling always as if in Divine Land.
So many things I have in my heart
We are one soul with double part.
On this eve something I want to say
Wishing my partner Happy Birthday.

PREDICAMENT

2008-09-30T23:46:00.001-07:00

The predicament of human life
In the non existential planet
With slippery ground, so awesome
We can't walk with erected head.
One step ahead,anorther struck
In the pitfalls, tumbling down the body
Nosedived, injuries in the head
Covered with the hands blood smeared.
We still keep walking to the place
We actually don't know where till
We are led and led further
To the grand finale of life journey
Where no clapping echoes but eerie silence
Prevailing the special ground reverberating
With the sobbings of the audience.

BHASKARANAND JHA

PRAYER TO GOD

2008-09-30T23:43:00.000-07:00

O Great Father, your child is
Caught in the world of Evil.
Passion, woe and despair.
Long ruled by the Devil
Owing to ignorance
Deviated from the right path.
O!Mercy!Help!Redeem !
Show me your bright path.
No more !I pray thee
Keep me out of the dark night.
O God! harken my prayer
Guide through your bright Light.
