Just for a moment,
sit down and be with yourself.
Close your eyes and think
how short is our life on earth.
Is it worth fighting at all?
internally or externally!
In this short life span where time takes us on roller coasters,
would you like to be happy or ?
Shoot. Shoot. Shoot.
Shoot the Mango!
Because its summers.
Because medical science has made such tremendous Progress,
said Huxley, that there is hardly a healthy human left.
Aren’t we all going to die, all of us,
that alone should make us love, but it hasn’t.
People are strange;
But Love
because that would mean total Acceptance
Of yourself.
along with all your weaknesses and Strengths.
But Love,
because hard things must be told simply.
But Love,
because the mind must be taught, to keep out of it.
Else the mind will involve the Fate.
and the Fate, it is known controls only the weak.
But Love,
because it is the spirit of the strong.
and it is the strong who mould the Providence they want.

This venture into poetry is as successful, Narayan, as your writing has been. You raised important and poignant questions, and your answer – Love, is what humanity knew for millennia but has not always followed, The highest degree of medicine is Love.
“Love is the only answer, regardless of the question,” said Dr Prem Jagyasi, and many sages, gurus, poets, and songwriters echo this conviction, as well as your readers.
And I am wholly in agreement; it is Love that propels the world forward, not money, and that is why I love your poem, Narayan!
Thank you, and we all would love more!

Dearest Joanna, I was just trying to say more in less words or may be how quietly I have been inspired by poets that I cannot not try making a few poems of meaning on my own. I tried and thanks to you who can tell me where I stand. Even if on a slippery surface I know you will help me to never fall. I will try more and you will know in the times to come.
Absolutely, love is the answer my dearest.
Thank you so much.

This is lovely, Narayan. I had written something similar recently, but no so eloquently. Our time is short. We should seek to be worthy of the life given to us and to honour our planet.
