MY SISTER


I HAVE FOUND A SISTER
AND HER NAME IS NANDHITA
SHE IS LIKE  STILL WATER,
LIKE TRANSPARENT GLASS,
LIKE A CLEAN SLATE
SIMPLE AND CLEAR AND INNOCENT.

THAT VERY INNOCENCE MAKES
HER UNIQUE IN THE WORLD
BECAUSE SHE IS FILLED WITH
NO SUPERFICIAL BELIEFS
THRUST UPON BY SOCIETY,
SHE IS A QUIET, SILENT REBEL

SHE IS NAIVE TOO,
DOES NOT KNOW HERSELF
IN CONSCIOUS TERMS,
HENCE LOOKS ORDINARY,
BUT THERE IS A DEEP WELL
OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
THAT SURFACES FROM TIME TO TIME

LOOKING AT HER YOU FEEL
ONLY ONE THING
IN COMPLETE HONESTY,
YOU FEEL THIS PERSON
NEEDS TO GROW ,
TO MATCH CONSCOIUSLY THE
OCEANIC SUBCONSCIOUS WITHIN

AN INTELLECTUAL SHE IS NOT,
BUT NEEDS AND RESPONDS
TO INTELLECTUALITY LIKE NO OTHER-
IT IS THE DEEP OCEAN WITHIN
THAT BURSTS AND WANTS TO
BURST  ALL THE TIME.

SHE IS THUS LIKE A WILD FLOWER
AND HAS FOUND A SOUL MATE
IN HER HUSBAND WHO IS
EQUALLY INDEPENDENT AND DEEP.
BUT SHE DOES NOT KNOW FULLY
AND THAT IS THE BEAUTIFUL
JOURNEY AHEAD

A JOURNEY FULL OF DEEP
CONFIRMATIONS AND DISCOVERIES,
THE SOUL LIGHTING UP INSIDE

THAT IS HER DESTINY,
THAT IS HER MISSION THAT IS
SILENT AND MOVES HER IN ALL
THAT SHE DOES, ENCOURAGED
BY HER BETTER HALFTO THE LIMIT

GOD BLESS MY SISTER,
GIVE HER THE ANCHOR
SHE NEEDS IN DEEP
PHILOSOPHICAL WISDOM
MAY HER LIFE BE
A GREAT ENDLESS SONG!

MY DEAR FRIEND

www.thehindiacademy.com


You behold him,
and are struck
as you go on with him

a man like no other
you have met
he goes ALL OUT to help you
and it bewilders you
as you have never seen
such a thing

slowly you understand
it is not a pretence
it is true, fully true,
and you understand the
meaning of selflessness
not in holy books,
but in front of you, real,
true, living , objectified

as you go on, you see a man,
alone and living in his own world
you see his depth, his detachment,
his care a damn attitude,
his coldness, his sense of critical,
sometimes cutting words,

heis benevolent ,yet can be harsh,
and suddenly you understand,
it is the same thing.
The coin of goodness,
pure goodness has another side,
a critical mind,
not accepting badness and falsehood.

He is thus free! He is happy,
having done nothing wrong,
living up to the status of man.

And you are deeply happy,
to be with him,
he brings out your best,
opens your eyes,
sometimes hurting,
but always loving.,
seeking nothing from you
except the same goodness.


That is the miracle,
that he is thus simple, obvious,
but for that very reason ,
in this half hearted world,
difficult to understand,
as he will not sway from the truth.

You are pushed now,
to be your best , to be a better person,
 or leave.
The ball comes to you court,
and you are faced with choice-
completely good or easy life.

He is spreading that goodness
and he is there like a rock,
like a test-ALWAYS.
