The ancient path
Comes into being
Awareness of one's being
The older days
Comes into a past
Recollection of memories
The fruitfulness of a soul,
Flexibility of a mind
Leads to discoveries
The upliftment of the sea floor
Productivity of a seed
Modifies the tradition
The memorandum of a culture
A mystery of a future,
The ancient ways
Comes into resources
Fluctuation of ideas
The oldest man
Comes into a present moment
The seasons of a soul.
Today as ere Dhara’s alive,
So is Goddess of all Learning,
Vivacious learned seem to thrive,
Bhoj back to Earth, long live the king.

Translation | 27.10.2025 | alive, education/learning, king
Note: To continue from the preceding verse… the king, not really dead, returns, and Kalidas, when asked, just modifies marginally the earlier verse to paint a different picture. One can note here the felicity of poet Kalidas to pen a piece extempore-- a minor twist and the meaning changes 180 degrees. Alas, the English translation cannot match it. Transliteration of the Sanskrit is as under:
Adya dhara sadaa-dhaaraa sadaa-lambaa sarasvatee |
Panditaam manditaam sarve bhoja-raaje bhuvam gate ||
They say,there is no way out
But the truth shall prevail
How?
They say,it will end
But the show has not even started yet
When?
Those are the anticipation of the audiences,
It is the plan
That reveals the owner
Adjusting myself
It is the sequence
That Modifies itself
Laying on it
Am I remembered?,
They say ,it is luck
But I am still standing
How could that be?
They say,it will die
But I will be remembered
When?
Those are the anticipation of the audiences
A kingdom is an ancient place
Whereby secrecy is a norm
The doors have ears
A kingdom is a home
Whereby safety is imperative
The windows are closed
It is that lingering feeling,
As you hear the sound of the sea
Speaks in tongues
Know that you have arrived
As you feel the wind
Release that air
Know that you have obtained
It is that mystery,
A kingdom is a word
Whereby analyses the culture
The gates are closed
A kingdom is a round table
Whereby it Modifies the tale
It is that lingering feeling.
The clouds usually form a bubble
And the sky usually clears the atmosphere
Are you still breathing?
The wind usually blows the leaves
And the rain usually showers the ground
Are you awake?
It is an eye opener,
These are meant to happen
And these are for a reason
Embrace the struggles
These are meant to be formulated
And These are the reason you are still standing
Navigate the challenges
It is a painful growth,
The sea usually tells a tale
And the sand usually Modifies the foot print
Are you accessible?
The storm usually surprises the audience
And the tear drop falls into the ground
Are you intelligent?
It is an eye opener.
Sometimes the truth
Is something that shows itself
Embrace that moment
Sometimes the tear
Is something that is felt
Acknowledge the past
All shall be revealed,
It is past experiences
That builds
A character
It is the current situations
That Modifies
A personality
A future,
Sometimes the history
Is something that was disregarded
Embrace that truth
Sometimes the personality
Is something that was created
Acknowledge your inner self
All shall be revealed.
It is a desirable feeling
Explore that moment
Kiss me endlessly
It is a fascinating sequence
Tell me more
A unification of souls,
Gathering of feelings
Modifies the heart
The ink never leaves the pen
Acknowledging of emotions
Expresses the gesture
The pen never leaves the ink
All said and done,
It is a knowledgeable feeling
Utilize that moment
Hold me closer
It is a captivating land
Tell me more about it
A modification of souls
It takes an amount
Of growth
Is it certain ingredients?
It takes an amount
Of time
Is it certain qualities?
Peeling of a coconut,
Love embraces you
To know yourself
So that there is a responsibility
Knowledge Modifies you
To know your values
So that there is a accountability
Opening if a coconut,
It takes an amount
Of silence
Is it the agenda?
It takes an amount
Of integrity
Is it the formulation?
Exploration of a coconut.
Do not cry for something
You could not change
Nor modify
Life is about the Unveiling of things
Pick up the pieces
And move on
Wiping my sorrows,
As the seas collide
The intensity of the movement
Modifies the path
As the birds starts to sing
The tone of the voice
Brings peacefulness
Wiping my hands,
Do not cry for something
You could not change
Nor modify it
Life is about enduring the challenges
Pick up the pieces
And move on
Wiping my eyes.
Life is a song,
Life is a ballad,
Each day write the lines,
Time scripts each verse.
Life is a symphony,
Dawn sets the tune,
Twilight permutes the harmonics,
Tomorrow determines the pitch.
Hope changes life’s song,
Faith modifies its rhythm,
Redemption becomes its theme,
Newness becomes its message.
As we come close to life’s final door,
Its music gradually fades,
It comes to an abrupt stop,
As the door closes.

Words are meant
To illustrate
The flexibility of the tongue
And the tongue is meant
To emphasize
The tone of the word
And the tone is meant
To express
The meaning of the word
Is it hilarious?,
Creativity comes and goes
But the content of it
Stays the same
Imagination can be clouded
But the insight does not change
It modifies
The story,
Love is meant
To illustrate
The flexibility of the heart
And to be in love,is meant
To emphasize
The capabilities of the heart to feel
And to feel, is meant
To express
The meaning of the emotions
Is it hilarious?
As the dust starts to settle in
Rejoice into the holy spirit
A memorable occasion has been achieved
The tongues have been spoken
As the wind starts to unwind
Rejoice into the word
A memorable occasion has been conquered
The sins have been shown
Be grateful,
It is the glory of the Lord
That Modifies the path
A blessing in disguise
It is the manifestation of a belief
That achieves the performance
A uniqueness of an individual
The human being at its best,
As the sea starts to rotate
Rejoice into the movement
A memorable occasion has been seen
The tongues have been released
As the clouds starts to clear
Rejoice into the fresh air
A memorable occasion has been selected
The blessing have been given
Be honored
Oh,what a mountain
It's structure distinguishes it's history
Muttering of the wind
Oh,what a mountain
It's uniqueness Modifies it's existence
Whispering of the sea
Is this an embarkment of history?
It should be told as it is
As it should be admired the way it is
Magnificent as it sits on top of the land
It should not be compared to any
As it should not be ignored of it's importance
Breathtaking as it is been viewed
Is this a modification of history?
Oh,what a mountain
It's shape labels the land
Muttering of the forest
Oh,what a mountain
It's history emphasize its existence
Whispering of the ocean
Is this the true essence of history?
Magic Of Words
How easy it becomes,
a word of love,
when uttered.
A word of peace,
when fluttered .
The magic of word “please”,
and the fracas ceases to leave.
We may keep it plain,
before our skin gets to wane.
To let frown be a smile,
to let walk together for miles.
How simple becomes the life ,
when choice of words are right.
The magic of word ” thank you “,
for all that has been done for you.
Without counting your own,
done, dusted and thrown.
Just one thing keep in mind !
It’s the words that keep us bind.
Life isn’t that serious,
until the effect of words are furious.
It’s the magic of the word “sorry “
The gloomy set up, modifies to glory.
To the tragic,
It’s the magic.
When the words are pure,
they do work, for sure.
