curiosity, concern, compassion and collaboration
basant shesh nahin hai
sab naye fool palash ke,
ab sookh gayey
hai
aur tum abhi bandanwar nahin utarogi,
sukhey ashok ke patto ki
apney ghar par tangogi
shayad amntran de rahi ho
hawaon ko
apney anagan aaney ka
taaki saari thaki hui
muskaney wo le jaayey
aur tum shant ho
apney andar delkh sako
do not ever dither, my friend
you never know, when will this season end
you will be able to say
some day, this man was not so bad after all
he loved without any hesitation,
but he could not forgive all lapses in time
forgive him, can you
kuchh log aisey bhi hotey hain
apni nakamiyon ka dukh saari jindagi dhotey hai
tumne merey dard ko banta
merey galatiyon ka nateeja
apni nazron se undeha kiya
merey ghar ke tootey darwajo ko phera
phatey pardo ko apney hathon se sila
meri sharm ko apni palko se dhaka
muhey jeeney ko kaha
aur mein jee gaya
lekin main kuchh bhi nahin de paya tum sabhi ko,
sirf kuchh dukho ke
akso ke jinko ab tum dekhna nahin chahtey
well, if i do not forgive myself, how will i live
why shall i say, give , just give
a few more moments of company in this hour
when i am desolate, and totally without any power
you will not understand, and go away,
like ever before
but what will i do, stay still
and remain, as ever before, so sure
i did not want the curtains,
you said, you wanted these,
because my transparency
put unnecessarily reflection on others,
who wanted to keep their windows closed,,
now that my curtains are torn
what should i do
reassure every one that i am not
repairing these because i do not want to
or just ignore and hang another one
whenever we hurt others, we ask ourselves, was it intentional, did we mean it, but when our actions result in hurt to others without any intention, what can we really do
Â
seek forgiveness and also forgive ourselves!!

tagore said, “If anger be the basis of our political activities, the excitement tends to become an end in itself, at the expense of the object to be achieved. side issues then assume an exaggerated importance, and all gravity of thought and action is lost; such excitement is not an exercise of strength, but a display of weakness”.
Â
why do we not coolheadedly think, who is more powerful,one who seeks revenge,or  the one who forgives

1002Â Kaaali 75:Â Â I will not pray
The gardener made a beautiful garland
And offered to me
So that I could please you
I laughed and walked away
Why should I please you
If you have forgotten
Your duties
Should I forget mine
I will not pray
Nor will I seek any thing
I will just stay there
Cleaning the path of all the pebbles
So that those who come to your door
Do not hurt themselves
1001 Kaaali 74: She will  not let you leave the shores
Whenever hatred emerges
In your heart
You can be sure that
Kaali’s grace has abandoned you
She will not let you leave the shores
Of the lake of kindness
In which one can float so long as
One has decided to pray and be blessed
1000 Kaali 73
The lotus seeds have been stored for years
Do not worry
When no body comes to pray at your door
These seeds will be sown
On the bank of lake
Where people built your temple
And lotus will bloom again, the same lotus flower
That was offered
When sun was young and the
Earth was still cooling
Down from all the fire you had spitted
At its inability to swallow the fire
And letting volcano empty your anger
