Random Haiku

Haiku is an an epigrammatic Japanese verse form of three short lines. Over the years, because of its compactness and beauty, it has attracted authors other than Japanese too. Its English version has been adopted and adored by many authors. Now with my joblessness being on an all time high, I penned down some of my random thoughts in the form of Haiku. Well, technically not all of them qualify as Haiku, but whatever they are, I hope you'll enjoy them.

1)   A few muscles

      A small effort

      A photographic smile.

2)   I wore a coat over 'my favorite' shirt.

      People liked it

      I can't put it off now.

3)   I fed it

      I made it strong

      It made me strong

      We incinerated our own house.

4)   Centuries of hard work

      The favorite creation created back

      A delusive creator.

                                          

PS: Well, I know they are not incomprehensible or something, but I would like to point out that the 2nd one is referring to superficiality, 3rd one is referring to technology and my favorite, 4th one, is referring to how over the centuries, man has distorted the whole perception of God.

Patta

पत्ता

वह जागा एक सुबह
देखा एक पत्ता भूमि पर निर्जीव
अल्पविकसित बुद्धि
फूँक मारकर उड़ाना चाहा
पर पत्ता न उड़ा |

खीझकर फेंके पत्थर उसने पत्ते पर
पत्थरों से चिंगारी  निकली
उसकी आँखें चमकी ! आविष्कार !!
पत्ते को जलाना चाहा
एक रेशा भी न जला |

अब क्या करे?
इर्द गिर्द देखा
एक लकड़ी कुछ पत्थर व लताएँ
सोच कुछ विकसित हुई
बाँधा लकड़ी मे पत्थर
और बनाया यंत्र ! आविष्कार!!

खोद डाली पत्ते के नीचे की माटी
पत्ता हवा मे झूलता रहा
आवेश में दे मारा यंत्र उसने पत्ते पर
मंद बयार बह चली तभी
और बह चला पत्ता संग संग |

"अदभुत अद्वितीय अकल्पनीय
मेरी बुद्धि मेरी इच्छा मेरी शक्ति
सृष्टि होगी अधीन मेरे
हिलेंगे पत्ते इच्छा से मेरी ! "

क्या वाकई उसकी इच्छा से ?

 

Intro

Well, yours truly could not keep his desire of writing on random topics, buried for too long. And therefore, here he is, with a new blog, in a new template, having a new purpose, destined to convey what he thinks, and be a platform to display some of his literary works. 

Not going into the details, i would like to end up the introduction with a Beatles composition: 

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one...
