of hours !

And suddenly started weeping and murmuring,

Repenting over his being seen outside office at betel shop !

Swore for never going outside office

And consequently facing remark of “Outstanding” !

"SCOPE OF HOPE”
*************

“Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper” !
Follower of this credo seems somewhat duffer !
Where is a will, there is a way,
Optimists always found to so say !

Life starts and continues on hopes,
As hopefully traders open their shops !
Hopes let live everyone so busy,
And make hard-work even some easy !

Pessimists are apt to become paranoid,
Doubtfully piling works that they avoid,
Thereby the works falling into arrears,
Causing in daily life, uncalled barriers !

Hope is only a dose to start,
To keep going always our life’s cart !
It’s thus aptly called a good breakfast,
Though sometimes, a bad supper in the last !

Parents nourish children with good hope,
They provide them with prosperous scope !
Students-Teachers similarly hopeful,
To make their careers ever fruitful !

Doctors-Patients, Agriculturists-Peasants,
Customers-Sellers, Goldsmiths-Jewellers,
Artists-Scientists, Communists-Socialists,
Government-Servant, Supporter-Dependent !

Infertile Couple or Expectant,
Dominant-Subservient, Owner-Tenant,
Desert-Forest, Homeless-Resident,
Independent-Dependent, Parliament-President !

All remnants, Exclusive elements,
None is existent without any hopes !
Hopes thus always appease sentiments,
Enabling us to cross any bars and ropes !

Hope is atop in our Natural Chart,
It keeps us always dutifully smart,
So, remain ever hopeful, never lose heart,
Until Divine Law forfeits our ongoing cart !

“VIRAGO INVINCIBLE”
*****************

I was watching TV, witnessing a cricket match,
A brilliant sixer snubbed by a fantastic catch !
My wife bade me send one any for vegetables
Of our choice and also some eatables !

I had to turn my chair, opposite to table,
Asking her then kindly to fetch my purse !
Subsequent attempted sixer was invisible,
Match was a draw, people began to disperse !

Last these moments remaining unseen,
I continued still facing the TV screen,
Vegetables for cooking were an instant need,
For cricket, I had then paid no any heed !

Came out of kitchen, my dear virago,
Causing fear, as if in vertigo !
Sustained, as I was, by her such attitude,
I kept mum as a device to elude !

Snaky-sensed then my wife came quite near,
I asked her, “What is the trouble, my dear ?”
She didn’t reply, causing same fear,
Left was too little to hear and bear !

Loudly she asked me to leave the chair,
And find what’s happening here and there !
First of all, she showed me the kitchen,
Before she would tell what I couldn’t listen !

The boiling cooker was exuding acrid smell,
As pungent as by burning tyres,
Whole house then was feeling unwell,
L.P.G., too, was flaming fires !

My wife carelessly felt all immaterial,
As she was now indulged in TV serial !
Which she was missing while in the kitchen,
Now that she has completed her mission !

The choosy serial was all cause of the fuss,
The vegetables asked for as a pretext quite thus !
I myself had to set right everything,
Queen when happy, so would be the King !

”BEWARE OF OPPORTUNISTS”
**********************

Whenever we satirize any opportunist,

Chameleon is the name, aptly to subsist !

But if we divert to all other sides,

Opalescent people are spread, besides !


Opportunely, people turn renegades,

So as to gain more lucrative grades !

Main such roles are playing political leaders,

Union Leaders and Practicing Pleaders !


Boot-lickers are such notorious elements,

To succeed always to acquire supplements !

The Divine Law is unforeseen destiny,

Facing that all seem quite too mini !


End of opportunists or renegades,

Any day may fall for years and decades !

So,

Give wide berth to opportune boot-lickers,

Lest they be never detachable stickers !

This vigil may make you always easy,

Least fearful, you may then be busy !

"THE PRIME PREMIER OF INDIA"
**************************

Since Independence, India stood under wings of 14-Premiers,

Among whom included were both Juniors and Seniors !

Shaking hands willy-nilly, as if, each-other’s fellow,

Chronologically their names are enumerated below:

J.L. Nehru, G.L. Nanda, L.B. Shashtri, Indira Gandhi,

Morarji Desai, Charan Singh, Rajiv Gandhi,

V.P. Singh, Chandra Shekhar, P.V. Narsimha Rao,

A.B. Bajpayee, H.D. Deve Gowda, I.K. Gujral !

On date, remains reigning Man Mohan Singh,

Opposition calling him Puppet in Sonia’s string !

Behind the screen aspirant hidden is Rahul Gandhi,

Though as usual denying like his Paa Rajiv Gandhi !

None among all names proved at par of Late Indira,

Whose tenures were unquestionably Golden Era !

Her achievements were superbly over them all,

Operation Blue Star resulted in her fatal fall !

1971-War was India’s memorable victory,

Which glorified the nation with a Golden History !

Unmindful of Foreign threats of VII-War Fleet,

India won the war both in the West and the East !

10-millions of the hoi-polloi of East Pakistan,

Were succoured with well-wishing efficacious plan !

Resultantly born was Independent Bangladesh,

Pakistan was thus conquered and it eclipsed his face !

Further thrilling achievement was of nuclear power,

Displayed in 1974 at Pokaran with thunderous shower !

Indira was thus appropriately a unique entity in India.,

Well-said, “India is Indira, Indira is India” !

Also by her name Indira even exceeded India by ‘R”,

Politically, diplomatically, she was India’s Superstar !

She is an adorable personality of Global repute,

This assessment ever anyone can hardly refute !

Surname Gandhi has proved ever charismatic,

Mahatama Gandhi, Indira Gandhi prove this arithmetic !

Successor like Rajiv Gandhi cherished such instinct,

Center-forward Rahul Gandhi must accomplish the link !

****************


"DELIBERATE DWINDLING DYNASTY"
****************************

Post-British-Rule India turned to be the Republic !

Nehru was the chosen leader who scored a hat-trick !

Until his breathing last, he dominated unchallenged alone,

Emotional Indians thereafter chose Indira to adore the throne !

Hereditary virtues made her a superb Global Idol,

Until “Operation Blue Star”, which endangered her survival !

Consequently, her Bodyguard Sikhs brought her to ruins,

Thrusting nation-wide agony with ever-saddening tunes !

Sympathetic vox populi bestowed its instant favour,

Rajiv Gandhi hence stepped in to savour ruling flavour !

One-after-one from family of Superstar Jawahar Lal,

Succeeding and coming forward for Congress Rule to stall !

Well-taught were all the ingratiating members of this clan,

Everyone on turn appeared better in one’s own span !

Unfortunately like Indira, Rajiv, too, was assassinated,

By unscrupulous delinquents clandestinely instigated !

This agony of distress is an unforgivable stigmatic blame,

Which will always defame India with the tone “shame-shame” !

Despite sustaining a couple of such unwarranted sacrifices,

The rest of the clan has not yet given up all future enterprises !

Advancing forward now appears ultimately a luminous star,

Eagerly, emotionally, hic et ubique, perambulating without car !

Apparently fast forwarding Rahul is well conjectured next star !

Opponent quarters might be peering through doors closed ajar !

Such a popular perambulation of Rahul is peculiarly picturesque,

He is efficaciously canvassing among the youth from dawn to dusk !

His political terminology advocates mainly homologous instinct,

Which is, of course, a way towards a renaissance quite distinct !

Madam Sonia Gandhi is all over well controlling and umpiring,

With sense of complaisance to honourable martyrs’ aspiring !

May God bless them with potency to achieve the target,

Through benevolent hands of ambitious Rahul at his best !

The weight of clean-chit, endowed patriotism and honesty,

Unquestionably stand in favour of this well-known dynasty !

No any such clan else has ever yet appeared parallel,

Rahul Gandhi thus would succeed well in his travel !

Charismatic has proved invariably “GANDHI- SURNAME”,

Sacrifices through assassinations have exalted its fame !

"A BANANA REPUBLIC"
*******************

Early in 1947, the British ended their rule in India,

Comprehending situation with an invincible awe !

Indian national leaders including Nehru, Maulana Azad

On behalf of Congress blessed with Hindustan Azad !

Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Master Tara Singh

Per pro Muslim League and Sikh each distinct wing

Agreed to transfer of power and independence !

India thus faced her segmentation, thence !

Pakistan was born on the west and northern-east,

Displaced were Hindus and Muslims as if in retreat !

During 1947-56, Pakistan was Dominion State

Until 1956 when it gained a Republic fate !

The Civilian rule then was stalled by a coup d’etat

By General Ayub Khan becoming President thereat !

During his tenure Pakistan waged a violent war

Against India in 1965, despite being below par !

Demurely defeated was then Army of Pakistan,

Successor later was then General Yahya Khan !

East Pakistan then had to face a devastating cyclone,

Causing casualties upto 5 lacs as far as known !

Subsequently, 9 months’ guerrilla warfare emerged,

Pak. Army and Bengali Mukti Bahini were indulged !

Resultant was third India-Pakistan war in 1971,

India won the war, Bangladesh born in this turn !

Civilian rule again revived during 1972-77 term,

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto then gained the momentum !

Third Martial General in power was Zia-ul-Haq,

Who was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s a fatal bad luck,

As Zia sentenced Bhutto to a merciless death,

Which cursed Zia also to die in a plane-crash !

Benazir Bhutto then grew up with
