Some born as poor some enrich with gold foil.
No big house No luxury was on my cards of life.
You the rich decorate your doorsteps with
Black money lights.
You wake up and touch...

YouthHi5, orkut, facebook, twitter,
Makes me smile- makes me glitter!
Talk of text- think of status,
Nothing can stop- none can break us!
For I am young, so full of energy,
The locker of talent, I am the key!
Of course the books are running out of date,
And the internet’ve become...

Men, Money and MoralsParents killed brutally
Matter trivial
Upper caste involved
Compensation announced
Forty lakhs

Placating minorities
Two sons

Now turn 18

Enquires for money

Less than a year
Separating the two

Mom and Dad,”

Two shots fired
Suneet gets killed
“Why settle for 20
Why not 60?”

Here the river flows in full swing
Towards the Bay of Bengal.

What An Amazing CountryWhere thousands and lakhs of proletarian are
wandering at the streets for alms of food;
They have no shelters of their own and lives on the roads;
How could such a country
could think to won the space
Mars and moon!

AwakeningWhile resting under the shade
of a tree a traveller thought,
god was a stupid designer
as he gave
pumpkin-like large fruits
to the creeping plants,
weak, lean and light,
but grape-like small fruits
to the trees,
like the Banyan tree
he was lying beneath,
so strong, heavy and huge!
And he fell asleep
in the cool breeze...

A Selfie With MeA SELFIE WITH ME
Good looks
I swear
I don't possess,
With a flower pot face I think
The creator had forgotten
To trim my zygomatic process.
Still I wonder why
Inside deep inside me
Like a young lover
A queasiness brews,
With some clicks
And self's mirror image
To be the cynosure
In social media news.
Is...

Be That VoiceBe that voice
Not just murmur or whisper
Be strong and Bold,
Which create fear even in evil mind,
Be that voice

Not one or two
Lakhs and lakhs of people’s echo,
Be that voice
Which is nagging people’s mind
But no one ever dares to speak up,
Be that voice
Which not only...

No One Saw It ComingThe era of 2020
It was neither healthy nor wealthy;
Being expensively lengthy.
Chaos was caused,
Outside visiting was paused
looks like 2020 had brought Thanos along
but our marvels (morals) were strong.
Lakhs of people suffered from this disease,
But many of them took it with ease,
That’s why our offline classes...

Degrees of deceptionFake diplomas granted
Fake universities,certificates printed
Without academic trace.
Agents weave tales of degrees
Selling fake papers for lakhs
Fraudulent degrees
Learnings sacred ground defiled
A tale of Delhi's academic fraud
and elsewhere in India
A cautionary tale
Where credentials are
bought and sold...

A Crown and My BattlesA Crown and my battles
My crown is there far away from me
The way to reach is too hard and risky
Many battles are going between me and to it
Obstacles and barriers are more and more but
I am walking towards my crown
Though there are many...
