Roads are to be taken

 "Break ... 

Are you in love with the Accelerator ?"

The driving tutor was almost 

 at the edge of screaming 

And I was in the driving seat 

With full confidence 

Yet he was not !


May be he was so sure that 

I will be lost in my dream ride 

This road was more or less a strait 

 with curves & crowd .

 Not a single thing ,

 Resembled my dream .

But these roads are to be taken !


The roads of hardwork ,

Miles of struggles ,

Steps of perseverance ,

To the far ahead success .

Yes , there are shortcuts !


Your influential uncle may help you 

The Social status or 

undeserving sympathy may 

give an edge ,

But this journey 

though a tiring one

Will help you 

To be you 


It is not a Shame 

To take a break 

All those failures in your way

Offers a chance to revisit and renew  

It is not a matter of regret 

When you are being overtaken 

Because in the very next moment

You can create a timely move 

To reverse it .. 


But what makes the change 

Is the trust one have in 

Oneself ! 

With time , 

The world will trust you

SWINGING IN THE MEMORIES

Image
                       The wistful memories of Dilip Chitre portrayed in  his poem "The house of my childhood "  brings the readers to a nostalgic aura.  "Nostalgia "is a  greek word expressing the sentimentality towards the past, a period or a place and severe longing to the good old days.                          Even a single photo which copies the warm childhood is powerful to escort a smile with dewy eyes.  We 4, in the lapse of nature swinging through the branches enjoyed those moments to the fullest. We called it 'Erappu' . The  hours of  fun in the fields making branches to seesaw , swinging in the roots, sliding through the terraced grounds, playing with our kids (goat) and finally sweating in the interdistrict game of batminton is a time where all the worries fade and recollect our innocence.  I called it interdist...

ARE THE ENRAGED FARMERS A SIGN FOR A BETTER FUTURE ?

Image
                   Farmers quitting their fields,  raising their voice , protesting for fundamental privileges braving tear gas and water cannons were the sketches of present India that awaited for me ,who completed writing a constitution day article with a great sense of pride  . Thousands of farmers from Haryana, Punjab etc aligned for the DELHI CHALO march against the " so called farmer friendly policies ".But why the farmers are resisting such progressive bills, Is there any disconnection with the intended welfare and formulated bill,  why the ones arguing  to and fro the bill is confined within the political matters and why their voice are not being addressed. These may be the questions arising in every minds but suppressed with the fear of  sedition .  *  FARMERS PRODUCE TRADE AND COMMERCE (PROMOTION AND FACILITATION BILL) 2020, * FARMERS (EMPOWERMENT AND PROTECTION) AGREEMENT OF PRICE ASSURANCE A...
