"Let the moon teach you the art of being beautiful and lonely at the same
time.” ~Anand Thakur
O, the night traveler
you are the beacon for
the distressed who are
dwelling in darkness.
As the knight of the night,
you ride upon your white steed
wearing a silver armor
for those hopeless lovelorn.
You are the afterglow of the sun
when it retires for the day.

Prem aur moh, do alag raah,
Ek pyaar ka, ek bandhan ka sahaara.
Prem mein hai utsaah, sangharsh aur samarpan,
Moh mein hai moh maaya, bharam aur bhool-bhulaiyaan.
Prem mein hai samajh, saath nibhaana,
Moh mein hai lalach, khud ko bhool jaana.
Prem mein hai vishwaas, niraasha ki jagah,
Moh mein hai andhere, sacchai ki parchaaiyan.
Prem ek amrit hai, jeevan ka suroor hai,
Moh ek jaal hai, bhool bhulaiya ka chakravyuh hai,
Prem se milti hai shanti, saath aur anand,
Moh se milta hai tanav, virakti aur vyatha ka vyavhaar.
Prem mein hai sachai, moh mein hai maya,
Prem mein hai satya, moh ne hai bhram jaal bichaaya.
Prem mein hai aatma ki mithaas, moh mein hai sansaar ka bhaagya,
Prem ek vishwaas hai, moh ek bhool bhaavna.

One may many a scripture read
Of disparate, divergent views,
Incongruent their wisdom’s creed,
Heavy that weighs down to confuse:
Hindu monks walk in saffron wear,
Buddhists in their tawny yellow,
All-white a wear’s what Jains prefer,
And some wear naught but their halo!
Doubt, dress can cloud a confused mind.
If so whose wisdom should one tow?
Who can help higher up to grow?
Who can help hereafter to find?
You indeed, self help any day,
Be thy own light, find thy own way.

Poet’s note: Anand was Buddha’s key disciple and an elder cousin. Seeing his master breathing his last, he felt a void without his guru’s guiding spirit. It is then that Buddha uttered his last words: Be thou thy own light. He contemplated on these words and realized true knowledge within a day of Buddha’s death.

My Bio
Born fish, a number three, perfect swimmer in sea,
Dearest child of my parents, eldest of the three,
Born with a silver spoon, a royal childhood,
Romantic and lively teens, witty and keen,
By God's grace, blessed with the best,
Burnt night oil in studies, to later realise,
Education doesn't surely turn you wise,
Married to my love, I am on cloud nine,
One sweet son, reason to dine and wine,
Extremist, passionate and quite a lot crazy,
Always on the toes, never ever feeling lazy,
Travel, adventure, peace and nature loving,
Dear friends my beats tugged at heartstrings,
Corruption and cruelty I can't tolerate,
Subjugation of women the most I hate,
Greed and selfish attitude makes me cry,
Gender inequality a curse so rampant but why?
New sunshine brings hope, it's my supper, it's my tibia,
Upma daughter of Anand and Sumitra, Chandigarh, India !

Anand means happiness
Its spell directly
Enters into heart
Mind recharges
Takes to a mood happy
It comes from heart
Purifying lungs
Vocal chord sweets
Can reach near
The magical word "OM"
Of Hindu Culture
Its hear is dearer
Its spell is spellbound
Its meaning is inspiring
Great name for great write
Pushing you up
To write if not poetry
Then something to read always.

The greatest thing one can give!
The greatest thing one can receive!
Everything is inspired
My composing poems,
Inspired by Rachana
My communication,
Inspired by Anand
My thinking,
Inspired by Jhansi Ki Rani
My way of life,
Inspired by Kalpana
The inspiration step by step
On how to live and think
Is by my mother.
