Good Old Days –
I remember school days when we were young,
Then it seemed life was nothing but a song well sung.
no relation was too complicated
we were all not very fabricated
As and when I grew,
Friends left were very few
All Evaporated as the morning Dew.
Then came college which was wonderful
Will never forget the days which were so cool.
Studying was great when done in group.
I remember how we thought of a coup.
Wrote a letter to the princi.
To tell about the things that were so icy.
Never gave it to him though
sometimes I feel sorry and low.
Party hard study hardly was our show.
Assignments were meant to be done in the lecture
Boy did we mess up the structure!!
Last bench was ours no one to claim
Basking were we in glory and fame.
Last year in college was a bliss.
Morning session was a no miss!!!!!!!
Morning in college, foot ball was the ordeal,
Rest of the times it was cricket, played with full zeal.
Projects were fun and play,
Did those as and when we may.
Life is to move on ,
But one can look back often
To see what was gone
Ponder over things
Cause we are the highest rated living beings

Friday –
Friday is supposed to be fun
I say this with no pun.!!!
We all wait for the fall of dusk
People go out scented with musk!!
Moral is up this day
Pressures and tensions are kept at bay.
People Prepare for weekend party
Today work is done pretty partly.
Jeans and T shirt is what we wear
Formals today are hard to bear.
This is called the weekend mood
Given some work we raise our hood.
Office empty before six
clubs and pubs are a fix
people drink to life and eat to health
quite an amount is spent from their wealth
next morning we wake up late
few may have an evening date.
Two days are full of fun and frolic
Serves best as a tonic.
Work a lot is a motto on weekdays
Party on weekends in all possible ways.
Our enjoyment is all we relish
Let the society perish
People spend so much on alcohol
Never bother of an orphanage at all.
Why do we think this is enjoyment?
When we don’t even know what for is life meant.

With a Dentist!
Some time back I had been to a dentist for a floss.
I knew I had to wait in line until I gather moss!!
The Quack was in , extracting a tooth.
The Pretty receptionist was sitting in her booth.
With quite an effort my eyes let her go.
Only to see other patients putting on a show.
The hall was all quiet.
People were waiting with all their might.
Few had palms on their cheek,
They were all sublime and meek.
Then turned every one towards the hideous shriek.
It came from the docs cabin , and we all went freak.
Said the receptionist its no matter,
The doctor has got the tooth she was after!!!
Hearing this Smile ran across my face
Could not imagine me being in that poor fellow’s place!!
Out came the victim face swollen and filled with cotton wool
Looked as exasperated as he could be with eyes red in full.
The next patient was called on but was reluctant to go.
Fear had taken him and moral was very low!
Still beating that he went in ,
For while again silence broke in.
No shriek this time he came out quick
When asked what was wrong
Said he forgot his dentures and has to go back all the way long!!!!
Then went the next patient scared as the first.
But he knew he going in was a must.
Another cry from within
Second tooth of the day
Doc said form the cabin !!!!!!!!!
So went the job of the doc
This I write not to mock.
All were waiting for their turn!!
Knowing the pain in which they will burn.
But getting cured was a priority,
And to endure pain was a necessity!!!
That’s how in life one cant gain,
Without enduring any pain!!!!!!

Nature and Man –
Sitting out I was on a chair
at my door step
Night breeze caressing me
filling me with pep!
Watching the sky with stars that twinkle
This was when night peace has no one to crinkle
Silence was absolute,
with its hum all around
Deep breath I took
as a falling star I had found.
Here silence could be heard
As a song
Those who have heard
know I am not wrong
Thinking I was
Of my past .
Wondering how
Did the days go so fast
The peaceful quiet is for me harmony
Solitude now for me is a symphony
Thinking was I of my future now.
What will happen and how.
Enjoying the cool air kissing my face
Watching the time go by with a slow pace.
Now I thought of nothing
But the air that was so soothing
Now brighter shone all the stars.
I thought I could see planet mars!
Red object it was hanging still
Appeared very small and round as a pill.
Then again came the lights,
The sky went gloomy again
Time passed but I knew it was not in vain!
I learnt what is eternal bliss
I vowed to never miss this.
Sometimes we should stop by
and just sit watching nature
Because it is mans oldest teacher.
