Born in the foothills of Tirupati in 1979 is the river named SVUCE79
Imparted with rich nourishment of knowledge and various skills
Forty or so years ago, hundred tributaries left to enrich the world
Flowing through the valleys and meadows with twists and turns
Marking 2019, great kumbha mela for the tributaries of SVUCE79
Under the auspicious of dear God to rejoin and rejoice once more
Renewed with energy and enthusiasm parted again to pursue great goals.
None can buy it, none can sell it
None can enjoy life without it
None can stop, pause or restart it
None can arrange or pretend it
Love is such a feeling abundant and unlimited.
Seeking true love is what we all do.
Love without boundaries
Love without expectations
Love without patronizing
Such love should make all of us free
It is the most destructive evil of all.
Enthusiasm fenced and blocked
Knowledge fails to get an upper hand
Experience questioned and ridiculed
Such is the power of “fear of failure”.
Drive this out from its seat in the mind
Success will emerge like a diamond from a rock.
Weight of poverty obviously dragging at your feet
Hammered at the anvil of sorrow by the devil himself
Parched by hunger and dried by the scorching sun
You dive into dumpsters bringing out fruits of your labor.
Bravo, for braving the darkness of daily life, day after day
Hooray, for getting up in the morning for another bad day
Bravo, for denying the dastardly fate last laugh on seeing you dead
Hooray, for staying alive by diving into a dumpster and fighting the stray dogs.
Au contraire, in the war on rubbish you are the brave foot soldier
Removing the recyclable saving God’s green globe for many years to come
Is this ‘Trickle down economics’ finest example of job creation?
Is this benefit of economic growth that I don’t know?
Nonetheless
This I learnt, I should never complain
This I learnt, I should share what I can
This I learnt, I should never despair
This I learnt, I should rejoice today and look ahead.
This I learnt, there are many more lessons to learn with eyes wide open.
Life’s challenges come like the plays on goal in a soccer game
Live in the moment, face them with courage and no fear
Let yourself in with the best effort you can, sparing none
Like the lightening, holding nothing back strikes with all its might.
Today’s losers will be tomorrow’s winners
Learn to be humble in your victorious hour
Learn to be resilient at the hour of defeat
Roger’s game at lawn courts of Wimbledon
Wonderful it was even if Federer couldn’t win.
Victorious is the one who has not given into a defeat.
Difficult it was to address our team today
People being laid off due to a merger at work
Silence never felt so heavy nor words never felt so stale
Sorry to see lives running into a storm straight in
Looking in to their eyes, I look away
Feeling their worry by just passing by
Counter on wall remainder of inevitability
I realized pain of others is most difficult to bear
Events of this kind may be happening everywhere
Lives disrupted due to actions and events out of control
Character is the only help, build it strong and resilient
Have friends and family to lean on at times of need.
To be a father does not come easy to anyone
‘Father of a nation’ failed to be a father to his own
Having to play a role that is outside our skin
From partying young men, we become fathers when baby comes.
——
Reason over Discipline
Honesty over Hypocrisy
Consistency over Contradiction
Coaching over Condemnation
——
We don’t want them to be just like us
We want them to be the best they can
Each generation is a bit better than the one before
Most father’s do their part to ensure this progress.
Father’s Day – 2013 June 16
Sugar for coffee, butter for bread
Wine for dinner and blanket to cover
Friendship is such to enhance ones life
Lucky are the ones that have a lot of friends.
Share the fun, joy and burdens of life
Shelter, protect, forgive and provide for one other
True friendships have no expectations nor boundaries
Family, friends and simple living pray to keep for ever.
Fear is the age old killer of pleasant life
Each one appears to swallow a different pill of fear
Fears are imagined and created in one’s mind
Fears exaggerate the real to scare the vulnerable.
Fear be channeled to make us prepared
Fear is intense in the initial phase
Optimism is the only medicine for cure
Pessimism is the poison for patient of fear.
For some God provides the shelter to come
Other must find friends for support group
Communication with the companions is good
Role models who concurred the fear always there.
Nip the fear in the bud without fail
Fear will help no one but fear itself.
Passion is caused by object extern.
Passion results in developing desire
Desire is the one to creates emotions
Emotion is sustained feeling over a length of time
Beware we are victims of will
Feelings of great and small come and go
Arrange and analyze benifits and hurt
Courage can subside the bad and enhance the good.
Angry, sad, happy and such – feelings human
They grow too much – uncontrolled unchecked
Our own mind only can manage and control
Blessed are the ones who knows this good.
Feelings makes a person human
Saints among us managed them well
Uncontrolled feelings are waves in typhoon
No safe harbor in that hurricane.
