Be Lotic, Not Lentic in Life .....😊

Stagnancy has pungency, a silent, heavy breath,
It clings to dreams like stillness clings to death..
In waters where no current dares to flow,
The surface shines, but rot may grow below..
Lentic lies in silence, deep and wide,
A mirror of the sky, but dead inside.
No ripples dance, no waves to chase the shore
Just echoes of what pulsed here once before..
But life should be a river, bold and bright,
A restless stream in morning's golden light.
Be lotic, let your spirit run and race,
Carve valleys deep, make rocks give you space..
Let trials be your current, strong and true,
Let motion shape the best in you.
For waters that resist the urge to move
Lose not just flow, but life and truth..
So don’t be still when storms arrive
Keep moving, growing, stay alive.
Stagnancy has pungency, so don't relent
Be lotic, fierce, and ever intent...

🌸 Why We Call You ''ମହାପ୍ରଭୁ ''🌸

Why do we call You ମହାପ୍ରଭୁ, dear?
Because You wipe every hidden tear.
You smile without speaking, You walk without feet,
Yet the love in Your glance makes our sorrows retreat.
You live in a temple, so grand and divine,
Yet You step out each year to cross every line.
No pride in Your heart, no riches You own,
Still kings and the poorest are Yours alone.
Your hands are small, yet they hold the skies,
Your eyes are wide like the morning sunrise.
You listen to whispers no one else hears,
You dance in our hopes and dissolve our fears.
You ride on a chariot, dressed in delight,
With flowers and music and flags taking flight.
The road feels like heaven when You pass by,
As if stars bow down from the watching sky.
We call You ମହାପ୍ରଭୁ (Mahaprabhu), not just in name,
But for lighting our hearts like a gentle flame.
O Lord Jagannath, so tender and true,
The world feels more beautiful because of You........
Jai Jagannath 🙏 🙏🙏

Not every dawn begins with fire in your soul,
Some days feel heavy, like you're losing control..
But low moments are just part of the climb,
Not signs to quit, just pauses in time..
Inspiration may fade like the evening light,
Yet purpose stays firm through the darkest night.
Once you’ve chosen the dream your heart believes,
Don’t let doubt shake what your soul conceives..
The road may tremble beneath your feet,
But giving up means letting fear defeat.
One life is all you have to prove your spark,
So keep walking, even through shadows dark..
Work hard, even when you feel bent,
So in the end, there’s no room for repent.
No looking back, no ifs, no fears
Just steady steps through days and years
One dream, one fire, one voice within,
Keep rising up, again and again....

I stand with folded hands🙏, eyes dim with longing🥹,
Beneath the azure sky where conches are thronging..
The 'Snana Mandapa' glows in sacred light,
While mantras float on breezes, soft and bright.
Yet through it all, I seek just one embrace
A fleeting glimpse of Your celestial face..
O Lord of Nilachala🥹, when will You start
Your 'Pahandi steps' that stir the world’s heart?
I've waited through dawn, through the noonday blaze,
For that hushed instant when the crowd will raise
A reverent whisper of Your hallowed name
And in that moment, nothing stays the same..
When will You come, O Ocean-Eyed King,
In 'Gajabhesha', with gods and mortals to sing?
In elephant grace, in divine disguise,
No mask can dim the speech of Your eyes..
One darshan alone shall cleanse and console,
Mending the fractures deep in my soul..
Come, O Jagannatha, part the seas of the crowd,
Let every drumbeat praise You strong and loud..
Let Puri tremble in unrestrained delight,
And flood my darkened heart with radiant light...🥹🥹🙏🙏

🙏🙏Jai Jagannath 🙏🙏

There's a tender charm to all things
that grace us at the dawn of,
forever echoing in the corners of thought,
residing in the heart..
Life is a mosaic of moments, bright, bleak & beautifully blurred,
In moments of light, never forget to drink deeply from life’s cup,
In hours of gloom, breathe deep to let darkness bob..
Like the butterfly,
we too must endure
From humble larva to silent cocoon Enveloping shroud,
Each stillness shaping strength obscured,
Till wings emerge, bright and bold..
Transformation is not just beauty in flight,
But the resilience born in the absence of light,
that we must know...

"In Every Drop, the Truth Lies Bare"

In every drop of their blood,
betrayal flows,
History written in treachery’s prose..
Trump may declare a CEASEFIRE's name,
But who is he to douse the flame?????
When Pahalgam wept, and terror struck deep,
The world watched on, in silence they sleep..
Condemnations flew, mere words in air
But did they act?¿ Did they truly care?¿
They talk of peace at a diplomat’s desk,
While shadows of terror still grotesquely rest..
Dialogue is easy, action is rare,
But India stands tall, brave and aware..
We don’t just speak, we roar, we fight,
For every martyr, for every right.
With courage blazing in every reply,
We strike back hard, eye for eye..
So let the world watch, let pretenders speak,
India’s justice is neither silent nor weak.
For truth and valor,
we shall stand,
With fire in heart and sword in hand...
Jai Hind

"Fleeting Ties"

Today, we’re the light in their eyes,
Tomorrow, we may be just goodbyes..
In family, friends, and all we know,
Some ties fade, and others grow..
We’re needed now, but time will change,
Hearts may wander, bonds may estrange..
Expect less from those you hold dear,
But offer more, and stay sincere..
For love endures when we let go,
And kindness blooms where hearts will flow..

"Because They Wake"

We sleep in peace each quiet night,
Under stars so calm, so bright.
But far away, on land and sea,
Are those who guard both you and me..
The Army strong on mountain steep,
The Navy sails the ocean deep,
The Air Force soars through storm and sky
Their courage lifts our spirits high..
In war-like times or silent threat,
They never pause, they never fret.
With every breath, they choose to stand,
For love of home, for motherland..
At every border, shore, and base,
They hold the line with fearless grace.
Their lives they give, their dreams they stall,
So peace may shine for one and all..
So let us bow with grateful hearts,
For every soul who does their part.
Because they wake, we safely rest
India’s finest, bravest, best.

Jai Hind!

Not for Others’ Eyes

Everybody doesn’t chase the gold,
Or do just what the rich are told..
Some build dreams in quiet light,
Working not for fame or sight..
Not for what the others see,
Not for status, salary.
But for peace, or inner fire
A purpose rooted deep, not hire..
So let them talk, let whispers spin,
The real reward lies deep within..
Not every soul is bought or sold,
Some chase truth, not only gold.

In Time’s Gentle Hands

Sometimes we wander, slow to see😕
The dream that stirs so quietly..
Not lost, not late, just on our way,
Led by time, come what may..
The path may twist, the vision blur,
Yet every step helps hearts mature..
Each pause, each fall, each silent hour,
Shapes our will, refines our power..
For time, though silent, softly weaves
The roots of strength beneath the leaves
And when we rise, at last aware,
We find our purpose waiting there..
So do not grieve the waiting years
They've washed away the quiet fears.
Prepared, not paused we now can see,
Time's gentle hands were guiding me..
