Another year has passed With a blink of an eye The challenging times of pandemic We have managed to survive With each day That passes by I can only feel nothing But grateful For this gift Called life Its greatness And simplicity As we continue To fight this battle Wishes and prayers Happy New Year 2022 to one and all *** Composed by Vinit Desai ***

Good enough
You fool! You believed them ? When They said You are good but not good enough That zero is not worth a thing, meaning if its used in the number at the very beginning And if followed by other digits its optimally accepted to end with Know here, that Its all about positioning Bias, it is The unconscious or conscious or the other types Ignore is a bliss Walk your path gracefully Because there is Nothing better than becoming the best *** Composed by Vinit Desai ***

What has changed
I keep asking myself What has changed? What am I missing on? Well...Was it not the same? Maybe, A quiet touch of musings Pondering over the vast ocean of thoughts Glad that it happened, that I took the first step What could be more worse than this? Where is the charm? Cheer up, dear Don't be so hard on self Reflect on with others Know Just that Time has changed So, shall we All *** Composed by Vinit Desai ***
Please hold on, It’s a kind request😷
And the bubble has burst Again Fool! You fool! thought The battle of coronavirus, COVID-19 was over, with those Vaccines in your hat? But, let me remind It's not over yet Second wave or Tsunami Whatever you may call it Held in a big mess The world You and me And Everybody else Broke rules, some of our own Few of theirs So unwillingly but needily Introduced to Unusual isolated bitter shifts Of routine To be available Only online All the time Not an easy escape Working in frontline Indeed proved to be Lifeline Serving over time Loads and loads Men and women Many congratulations You have witnessed And survived Epidemic turned pandemic Through prolonging Tough times A little impatience, Casualness Among the masses Rises the spread Beyond control Lockdown, curfew Temporary buyback For time However bored, Burned out The desires unrest Along boundless zest With your each breathe Sanitize Mask Up Socially maintain distance Hold on, For yourself For the sake of Near and dear ones Please hold on It's a kind request Let's give it a tough fight *** Composed by Vinit Desai ***
Waiting
The song I came to sing
remains unsung to this day
I have spent my days in stringing
and in unstringing my instrument
The time has not come true,
the words have not been rightly set
only there is the agony
of wishing in my heart
I have not seen his face,
nor have I listened to his voice
only I have heard his gentle footsteps
from the road before my house
But the lamp has not been lit
and I cannot ask him into my house
I live in the hope of meeting with him
but this meeting is not yet
*** Composed by Rabindranath Tagore***
Over a cup of Coffee ☕
Hey Coffee, It is so innate That how bitter your taste But the roasted beans, for sure Blend well with the sweetness of sugar Frothed bubbles Hot and chilled, brewed and cold Aha! the aroma, nutty and chocolaty Cappuccino, latte, mocha, espresso and many It's lazy Sunday or Monday blues You are the reason to happily loose the snooze You have been just an excuse For the escape called "coffee-break" A witness of musings, witty, Head-to-head, Heart-to-heart coffee date chit-chats Apparently to be kept with a lid on Found in some pantries Are accidentally spilled coffee stories Unlike, others some Hello's end with See you over a cup of coffee, again! *** Composed by Vinit Desai ***
Worst Day Ever
This poem is composed by Chanie Gorkin, is no ordinary poem. Read it, to know it 😉 🙂
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day
Now read it from bottom to top, the other way,
And see what I really feel about my day 🙂
Do Not Love Half…
Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal
is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn’t live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists
to live a life not half a life
–Gibran Khalil Gibran
