All Glory is Fleeting

Having been a Superstar
Far out of reach from my competitors
While was fighting my war
Saw off all the opponents with fervour

I was the talk of the town
A sensational Victor, a Legend
Whoever fought me, went down
With insurmountable losses that wouldn’t mend

Game after game – I won
Cruising along, I feared none
Like a tall mountain that stood with pride
Glory was on my stride

Like the never-ending waves, I marched
Watching me unstoppable, my rivals parched
Precision and Perfection
Took me to new levels of elation

Millions of fans celebrated my victory
As I was creating history
Like the beaming sunlight that descends upon the earth
With some brilliant plays, I took away my fan’s breath

After few everlasting success
The winds seemed to recess
Age and injury took a toll
When the new players had a roll

Every game I lost gave me pain
And failures started to rain
The end of an era – some called
My ideas and execution flawed

All good things would come to an end
When I was no more able to bend
Young Sport stars became newsmakers
And they were game shakers

I had to give up someday
I have no future in the offing
Success is no more my way
And all glory is fleeting

You were a subject of, mother of all pains Time and again, you were hurt by all kinds When you were labelled, a symbol of lust Bringing your strength and desire to dust Your life was left miserable With all doors closed The wounds that were unbearable Left your weak nature exposed Those men who ruined your life Laughed mad at your distress When you were left alone with strife None was there for you, to caress Consistently affected by physical and mental abuse Made your life turn hell While the men with rotten thoughts could cruise None listened to the sound of your bell Even the wind which touched your face Left you with relentless scar The entire world let you blaze Marred you in the middle of war When your shouts turn into deaf ears When the entire universe turns a mere spectator With strength, you should shout loud, shifting gears Stopping the proceedings of the dictator Enough of bearing all, enough of bei...

Digital India

The time has come for us to move towards digitalization with the new technologies in place and its efficiency has increased over the years. The Indian Gov has been taking enormous step, like never before, to ensure a digital world to be embraced by the mammoth population the country holds. Linking of Aadhar to mobile connections, PAN and bank account have been a huge step towards maintaining integrity. While these steps by the Govt has to be appreciated, still the prospect of imposing them on the people and asking them to adhere to it in a short span of time, is relentful. People have to be made aware of it, they must be educated towards the need of it and with their understanding this policy must be put to practice and adequate time has to be given towards its completion. Usage of Plastic cards instead of money is welcomed by the Govt. but it is not enough to encourage users. Still there are millions of uneducated people who don't know to use mobile phones, leave alone using...

No to Racism

The long tiring seasons of domination With no freedom to express our thoughts Our endless fears on relentless starvation Deep down inside struck with blood clots The never-ending saga of Oppression Our family and kids dealt with humiliation When earning bread and butter became tedious The entire world that slaved us turned joyous For long we battled for equal rights Pleaded for acknowledgment and respect The feel of free air left far away from our sights Betrayed even by the Gods who ignored to protect Our stories and history written in blood With our men and women beaten for fun In our struggles alone we stood With our heads down, fearing for the gun Together we were in our mission Slowly the winds of rebel gained support Few good hearts understood our vision And bailed us from the ocean of dirt We work hard in driving the economy But still few see us as an enemy Before we think we have succeeded, we have miles to go To let th...
