On being sick

Fingers ache,
Joints shake.

Hairs hurt,
Feel like dirt.

Smarting eyes,
Groans and sighs.

Lumbar pain,
Hit by a train.

Sniffley nose,
Interrupted doze.

Flaming feet,
A chilly seat.

Muscle cramps,
Mosey like gramps.

Coated tongue,
A phlegmy lung.

Sick as a dog,
Throat has a frog.

Let me rest,
In my cozy nest!

On negativity

Negativity is the cancer of the soul.
It eats at you slowly, from the inside, till all that is left is haunting darkness, painful silence and an empty shell.

On Yaman and Bhairavi, Yin and Yang

Yaman and Bhairavi.
Poles apart, yet a small shift of viewpoint and they become one!
Truly, Yin and Yang.

On praying

Let me:

• be a lifelong student.
• use my knowledge for the right reason, at the right time, in the right way.
• be happy with the results of my actions. 
• be more than the sum of my skills, abilities and desires.
• endlessly evolve.

Raag Maarwa, Drut Teentaal (June 2013)

कैसे मैं जाऊं अब, _१दिन ढले,
उन बिन ला_१गे ना जिया हमारा,
नैन देखत है _१बाट पिया की ॥ धृ ॥

श्याम रंग छाया_१ है गगन पे,
पिया से मिलेंगे सवे_१रे सवेरे,
नैन देखत है _१ज्योत दिया की ॥ १ ॥ 

Explanation

As twilight descends upon the land, so does it descend upon my heart.
I stay awake thinking of you ....
The sky darkens and light fades...
I await daybreak seeking the interim comfort of a candle's flame.
