Quid Pro Quo

Chaos

Silly than sedate

Old and young, herd in concert

Chaos the new norm

~ KARAN 

#Demonetisation #Demonetization

People dying bruised

Fair, in larger good, say they

Brazen they amused

 ~ KARAN

Supermoon

Serene Black sky new

Fireball glowing amber hue

Sun kissed full moon blew

Zen

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "Z".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Zen”.

Sprints on veranda

Shameless screaming in schoolyards

Fearless me

When did I lose that?

The zeal of a bee, I had

Blissful used to be

Without distortion

Sans figment, happy again

Zen like want to be

~ KARAN

As children we are fearless of the world and our only agenda is to be happy. We mingle and get along with anyone and everyone and never bother about who that person is and which family/religion/cast/creed so and so forth, s/he comes from. However as we grow up we tend to forget the ultimate goal in life of being happy and tend to tilt towards becoming more snobby and selective as a result of which we are illusioned from the real purpose of life and living.

Young Mind

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "Y".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Young Mind”.

Bursting energy

Ever ready keen young mind

New start, age a count

~ KARAN

As they say “it’s all in the mind, age is just a number”. It so true, as long as one has desire, fervor and energy and is ready to go for it with all heart, no age can stop one from setting new goals and achieving them!

Xenial

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "X".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Xenial”.

Leave the doors ajar

Xenial with guests, strangers

May have pleased angles

~ KARAN 

Xenial in particular is defined as “friendly relationship between host and guest”, however here I have used it in a broader sense with an effort to drive home a point how we are turning recluse. Here in India we emphasize on Atithi Devo Bhava which in literal translation in English means 'The guest is equivalent to God' or 'Be one for whom the guest is God'. However we have long forgone that.  Let alone for others but as mentioned in the teachings in almost all of the holy scriptures across religions which I vaguely quote here one must atleast for one's own-self greet the guest with open arms:

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to guests and strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.”

Wicked

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "W".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Wicked”.

Misguided young souls

Disgruntled minds, failing pray

To the wicked will

~ KARAN 

The world has turned intolerant and unmindful whereby leaving people to fend for themselves. Add to it the frustration of joblessness and lack of opportunity the youth today is the most vulnerable species and the radical organizations are wasting no time in tapping them and luring them into the life of hell for their sole wicked willed interests.

Vacuous

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "V".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Vacuous”.

No need to know it

Still questioning is his right

Is vacuous mind

~ KARAN 

These days more often than not we come across people who show a lack of thought or intelligence while deliberating and debating. Case in point spokespersons of various political parties.

Ubiquitous

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "U".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.   Today I chose “Ubiquitous”.

Apple, Mango, Grape

He wanted it all, got none

Ubiquitous trait

~ KARAN

It’s due to our desire to be present everywhere and get everything we fail to enjoy the one we have at that point in time.

Salacious

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "S".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Salacious”.

Her modesty outraged

She went to the cops hopeful

Met salacious eyes

 ~ KARAN 

It’s very insulting and sad that rather than helping a woman in distress cops show seductive interest in her plight.

Ravenous

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "R".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Ravenous”.

Work not for reward

Deepest craving of human

Is for ravenous

~ KARAN

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

                                                                                                    ~ William James

Quaint

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "Q".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.   Today I chose “Quaint”.

Wish I was brother

Quaint society, she thought

Brothers play holi

~ KARAN 

Even after women coming at par and excelling in every thought about field, the society still look down upon them, especially in rural India.

Penitent

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "P".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Penitent”.

Time heals wounds, but scars

Will always remain, act wise

Than be penitent

~ KARAN

As they say there is no use in crying over the spilled milk. And Bucchianeri has so fittingly said here -

                   “Be wise today so you don't cry tomorrow.” 

                     ― E.A. Bucchianeri

Opaque

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "O".

              

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Opaque”.

Marred state of mind

Wrecked marriage & ruined life

Blame opaque nature

~ KARAN  

Most relationship in life or for that matter life itself is ruined for want of transparency. The more you allow your soul mates and loved ones to be part of you and share everything with them, the merrier and happier life will be J

Jackal Mind

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "J".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.   Today I chose “Jackal”. 

Should I say or not

My jackal mind is to blame

Now that she is gone

~ KARAN 

It’s not always the fickle behavior of a person but sometimes one’s (Jackal Mind) desire to seek to gain advantage from the difficulties of another, which leaves that person with no choice but to leave us as we are even late to decide whether to own up our mistake and express our unconditional regret for it.

Insouciant

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "I".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Insouciant”.

Bereaved and saddened

Can’t even cry, has to be

Insouciant Dad

~ KARAN

The world has always been unfair to the Father. It’s fair to say that mothers have been our pillar of strength, but our silent and biggest strength is mostly drawn from fathers. Mothers can at times shed a tear or two and relieve themselves; however the Fathers on most occasions have to be nonchalant in their expression just to be source of inspiration to the others in the family, more so at times of distress.

Generosity

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "G".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Generosity”.

Open hearted help

It’s not always the wealth

Kind soul generosity

 ~ KARAN 

It’s not always that only if one is wealthy enough one can be generous. Generosity is more from one’s deeds than from ones money.
