I AM READY TO FIGHT AGAIN

MY HEART IS LIGHTER NOW...
It's pertinent to say...
that life is a journey with problems galore,
but just like the proverbial glass half full...
it is also an opportunity for the spirit to come to the fore,

As much as the adversities contrive...
to tinker with our fate,
our inner will warms itself upto the challenges ahead...
with the same youthful enthusiasm of a guy on his first date,

Sometimes in the tug of war,the other side pulls ahead,
on the other occasions,it's our turn,
but rather than winning,it's about putting up a fight...
in any contest,it's the loser who gets much more to learn

there is no fun in a hassle less life...
a life without challenges is not worth living,
the world never had any praise for the gentlemen...
who made it to the top without any striving

The problems in my life haven't reduced...
but facing them valiantly is not a shame,
coz,taking your own fears head on...
is the name of the game!!

I AM READY TO BE CRUCIFIED

PUNISH ME GOD...
Every time i thought it was over
It came back to show me - my joys are temporary , but the sorrows are forever .

They say every cloud has a silver lining
My skies are so dark , even the dungeons appear to be shining !

Fighting against all odds is a habit i've inculcated
Somehow i know i'm one of the most ill fated .

Come on God , give me some more pain
If i am the chosen one , why shall any punishment remain ??

IT'S AN UNFAIR WORLD...

HAVE I FAILED IN LIFE...??
I am their friend…
They all claim,
Yet,for my loneliness…
Whom shall I blame??

There is no dearth of people…
Whom I speak to,
Yet,those deserving to be called as buddies…
Are very few

Everybody wants to have a piece of me…
I am a source of material gains to them,
None could ever gauge the fact…
That my mind is always in a state of mayhem

In their hour of need…
My help is taken for granted,
They never cared to enquire…
What I really wanted

I know they all are turncoats…
Who’d never fail to betray,
Yet,I keep standing up for them..
Day after day,in every possible way

They say good things happen to good people…
Its all a bundle of myth,I am afraid,
Else,through these muddy waters of pain & misery…
Why do I have to wade??

If the sun,the moon,the universe are all fake…
Then I may well have committed a sin,
Yet,every morning I wake up,& ask myself…
“why can’t I ever win??"..

Maybe,like the others around me…
I should have been a rogue,
Being good in this world,it seems…
Is simply out of vogue!!

IS ANYBODY LISTENING...

ISN'T TREATING MALARIA SIMPLE..??

Most of our colleagues are always keen...
to treat it with quinine,

& when it does tend to complicate...
they advocate the use of artesunate,

Such a pity that they conveniently forget the fact...
that MALARIA can be controlled by such a simple act,

Kill the female Anopheles,which is the boss;
As stated by the Legend himself,Sir Ronald Ross!!

I WON'T GIVE UP....

I WILL FIGHT…
Just as I thought it was all over
& everything seemed all right
Bolte from the blue came another setback
The mind had given up,but the heart said,”fine,I will fight”

I don’t know when will this end
Success looks nowhwere in sight
But still,I am determined for one last battle
May be I’ll lose but,
“Yes,I will fight”

Standing in the midst of ruins
Indicative of my past glory & might
I know I have nothing to help my cause
Except my will which tells me,
“Come what may,I’ll fight”

Each day I am made to think
Will my ambitions ever see light
“Keep testing me god”,I say
& become even more focused
“Certainly,I will fight”

Even as survival becomes doubtful
I have just one thought
day & night
Beware my detractors,here I come
Hang me if I go down,
“But yes,I will fight”

WAS IT MY MISTAKE...OR GOD'S??

MEDICINE

One day I asked god,”have I committed a sin…??
Why on earth do I have to study the functions of atropine??
Jones gave his classification,and happily went away…
Mugging which I wasted one full day
Who cares what’s the structure of a bacilli…??
As long as the patient doesn’t die…
Remembering the father of genetics…
Is a problem,I have never been able to fix!!”
God then replied,”Of course,you have committed a sin…
My son,who the hell asked you to study MEDICINE…”

Why Does This Happen All Over Again...

JUST A MOMENT AGO…
Just a moment ago
My mind went to where my heart is
Looking at your photo I thought…
If you are a piece of god’s creation,
He must be a fine artiste
All the memories of yours
Which used to be my lifeline
Came back to haunt me
Of the gone by time
When my days started with your thoughts
& nights ended with your giggles
When you used to worry about
The smallest of my niggles
When to just have a glance at you
I would risk my all
When I could defy even the almighty
At just your one call
Just as I refresh my memories
The heavens open up
May be it’s god’s own style
Of waking me up
From my walk down the memory lane
I experience the same old pain
As I say once again,”good bye,sweety”
& I pretend to forget you my love,my deity
