Respect

To one's parents
When they’re watching TV
And one resents.
Mother, dear, why the tussle,
It's time to end the Monday-morning bustle.
And here's the deal, I propose to seal,
To spare you a penny for there to be no hustle.
The sparkling TV's drab with news,
So why don't you retire to the mews?
If you stay put, I'll miss my show,
Come come, there's the larder to raid and the lawn to mow.

To a young child,
Who’s having his fun at a park,
But you want to have it for free from him.
Hello there kid, I won't be so benign
Evacuate and you'll be fine!
The place’s lovely, no scorching sun,
A pleasant treat for everyone!!
And I'd be glad to take in the weather fresh,
So you'd rather make a move than thresh.


Of a teacher, Who nurtured for a year,
Perspired without a tear.
But who is now a part of the past,
In your life who doesn’t last.
There's a Ma'am, now a passerby,
To whom I've long said goodbye.
Those harsh cross-marks now denote the past,
That animosity that I don't wish to last.
So I've had the last word, and there's there
I simply have no words to spare.

The right way, the correct path...
RESPECT...

There's always scope, for a pleasant word
Adieu to the stare that pierces like a sword!
Tata to the barrels of jargon that justify,
Why A, B or C mustn’t take reason in their stride.             
For everyone is just apt as thou,
To kindle close to a fiery row!!

And Ma can cane, instead of bleat,
And jab instead of nudge you sweet.
But she explains and reasons and mollifies,
Though she can get through without a sigh!
That you are young, and she is old,
Comes after an individual’s ‘gold’!!

There’s not much of you that people like,
On a per cent a cent I’d like to strike,
If you speak shallow and thin,
And nothing comes from deep within,
All that comes, is mere spite,
Which gushes out, and like a termite does bite!!

(How I Wish) People Were Like Poems

Today, I wish people were more like poems.  A sad truth is dawning on me.  I can't just be. Most things just are. No proof required. No justification. Here I feel like an instance Of a class. Some kind of template  With some methods Instantiated. Many of my methods are public. Others comment on them. If I encapsulate, They pry. If I am abstract, They talk. What's going on? I'm not going to plead any more. I'll just shut all the doors. Make all the methods and variables private. Too many people tampering with the balance of it all. Our lives are not portraits or leaflets to hand out. Media often makes us feel so, but existence is way older, Authentic and organic- than the glitzy hood of social media. Human beings, like plants, need space, nourishment and nurturing To thrive. Are plants dependent on these things? Can they not stand on their own roots? They can, and they do. But you cannot neglect  The environmental variables that make them happen. So don't comment on ...

Predictability Plays Spoilsport

"Comfort's journey from the familiar to the unpredictable..." In the age of AI, if you are an AI Engineer like I am, you would swear by predictability. It's indispensable. We will find patterns in your genetic tree. We'll find them even in your whim of a Gulab Jamun or Barfi. We'll try to connect dots that are distant by miles. Yet, I'm here to tell you that we cannot afford predictability today. Sounds crazy and totally contradictory right? But I can be weird.   I'm here to tell you about randomness. I want you to experience it too. Well, you're smart people, readers. I may not be as smart. You know why we can't enforce patterns.   Someone will read them. Someone will exploit them.  Someone will feed them to an AI (Tool) and figure out what to do with them. You see what I mean? I'm being random. Randomness is not entirely useless.  I want to be equally random. I am stupid, gullible, naive and I'm wandering... You can say that I can be ...

Clandestine

Sometimes we wait too long, To speak our minds. We let lingering truths linger, We let sporadic clocks, chime.. We allow patient seams to fritter away Like a sparrow does with the timber of the tune That she was shrouded by; shrill words tearing  Ears, each word she utters, careful, today. While the first day it was a free reign, until Some unctuous winds carried to her, criticism. Just the same way as copper utensils in a house Of steel, are anyone's delight, until bronzed,  With wear and use, both are the victims Of sundry needs and glances. Just the same way, some things, Are stowed away in careful pockets Because they have borne a lot of perusing When kept in the open.  Like love. Like hurt. Like envy. Like silence. Trust and truth are two things I can list, That are given, that are l'habitude. I tell the truth because it is, it exists, It is what I perceive, it is what I've lived.. And I keep your trust, because I've learnt That it'll help you keep mine, it wil...
