A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AMAR SHAHEED BHAGAT SINGH!
Please forward this QUINTET if u love Mother India's Amar SHAHEED Son. Tq.
A HUMBLE HOMAGE TO AMAR SHAHEED BHAGAT SINGH
A HUMBLE HOMAGE TO AMAR SHAHEED BHAGT SINGH
Who else, except you, O the immortal Soul, could think, at so tender an age of five,
Of planting in the field of his family a gun,
So that that could give forth, one day or the other, like a ripe mango stone,
Innumerable similar youngs to ward off from India a harmful British Hive,
And do away with, once and for all, their cruel reign, and illegitimate Dominion!
Who else, except you, could walk from Lahore to Jallianwala Bagh to survey the brutal massacre by Gen. Dyer,
And bring home its blood soaked Soil in a bottle to treasure as a token of sacred Souvenir?
Who else, except you, could better avenge the callous murder of Lala Lajpat Rai, and court, for self-esteem, immortal Martyrdom,
Who else, except you, would consider the prettiest bride of a young groom to be the country's loveliest Freedom,
Who else, except you, could, among the six lac and thirty two thousand martyred Patriots, deserve more Salam?
Thus, you ought to be paid the fittest Homage by not compromising with anyone on country's sovereignty,
By not succumbing to the foreign Powers for petty personal gains, political milage or cheap popularity,
By not letting Mother India being shackled, enslaved and dictated once again by the greedy and gluttonous Aliens,
But, by passing Your most valuable and radiant Beacon of Freedom to the hands of the descendants for years, ages and aeons!
Wishing you "Happy Martyr's Day"!

A UNIQUE AND ESSENTIAL TRAVEL ADVISORY
Listen! Be on time, but never haste in life's long and inscrutable Journey,
Rest and look around with much mind and care through the weather sunny or rainy!
Always embark on well equipped with the essential requisites, resources and responsibility,
So that your Journey till your destination can be smooth, safe with much comfortability!
Listen! Keep ever the brake of self-restraint
fit, flawless and up to date,
So that you can overcome the steep humps of hurdles with much ease for a good Fate!
The less luggage of desires you carry with you, the more Divine-Bliss with less sweat,
The Lust-less tyres of continence have rarer chances of puncture, loss, delay and fret!
Live on Satwik diet to avoid obesity or food poisoning; hospitalization or medication,
Guard against the ambush by the robbers of temptation,
Who usually hinder the susceptible Pilgrims from crossing the path to Salvation,
For, swayed by overconfidence and rash driving, they fall into the gorges of self-destruction!
Hope, all the Travellers en route their heavenly Abode ought to follow this invaluable Advisory,
Or else, making their ultimate Journey of life sublime and successful is certain to be illusory!
N.B. This poem is inspired by the theme of today's column "Divya Chetana" of Sambad, a daily Odia Newspaper, published in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.

LET'S ALL EMBRACE HUMANISM AND SPIRITUALISM!
God sits in the hearts of the men of Spiritualism,
Who are never affected by racial discrimination, colour and complexion,
Who rise above the mundane being led by Humanism;
They feel "Love all living organisms to taste the bliss of Divine-Realization!"
The Humanists never discriminate between the tiny ants and the huge elephants,
They never differentiate between a chip of stone and a lofty mountain,
They pay the same respect to a pail of water as to the bottomless mass of an ocean,
They are neither shaken by defeats, nor are proud when they are judged Triumphants!
The Humanist Bees store the Spiritualism Elixir with the Honey of Religion-Flowers,
They enrich and enlighten the world with their Humanist-Religious Showers!
Life on Earth rolls on the Wheels of Humanism and Spiritualism,
Without their presence, life would have been a waterless and dead Stream!
Let's thus all sincerely embrace and practise both Humanism and Spiritualism,
Lest our final goal of mingling with the Supreme Soul should end like a day dream!
N.B. This poem is inspired by the theme of today's column "Divya Chetana" of Sambad, a daily Odia Newspaper, published in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.

AN ODE TO PLASTIC
O the sweet-sour Son!
What will we call your dear Father, Leo Hendrik Baekeland,
To whom you must ever be obliged, and adorn with the most grateful garland -
A beautiful Boon of the Earth, or a baneful Begetter of a deadliest slow Poison?
You have been a cursed blessing for man since your birth in Nineteen Zero Seven,
For the King as well as for the Beggar, with your generosity of a pseudo heaven;
That can never be defied or denied by any of your most loyal beneficiaries,
Only except by those, who, stung by your unseen venom, suffer from unavoidable miseries!
Oh! Your stifling and poisonous presence, after being used, under the soil and in the water bodies,
Has shortened the life of Ecology, killing the Joys of all sorts of animals, with their babies!
Alas! Your unsound and unwelcome presence has rung an Alarm of sure ruinations,
For, you are being gulped, as the baited fishing hooks, by the wisest fools of the Civilizations!
Thus, it's high time a harmless and eco-friendly substitute of yours was found before it is too late,
Or, neither God nor You, O dear Plastic, can be blamed, for the extinction of lives, once opens the Fallution Gate!
N.B. Fatal + Pollution = Fallution

SDM'S QUATRAIN ONE ON 'LET A REAL COMPANION NEVER BE FORSAKEN!'
GOOD MORNING.
Please forward this QUATRAIN. TQ.
LET A REAL COMPANION NEVER BE FORSAKEN!
LET A REAL COMPANION NEVER BE FORSAKEN!
A real companion accompanies you when the selfish world insensitively abandons you,
He strives heart and soul to cut your woes; and to multiply your happiness, unlike a few!
He becomes the very Staff that supports you when you are about to hopelessly fall,
He turns for you the very Vision to view, when That is callously plucked out by all!
Even though your real companion is too poor to fetch you the needs you require,
His moral support, at the time of your crisis, is invaluable and rare!
Despite being penniless, he proves more useful to you than all material wealth,
For, he sacrifices his life without fear or greed so that you can dodge death!
A real companion's compassion compels you to give up despair and dejection,
His rays of optimism brightens the darkest gorges in your crumbling life!
In his August presence, flee fast destitution, desolation, isolation and negation,
In his absence, you are vigourless, hopeless, desperate and vanquished in life's strife!
Thus, let a real companion never be mistaken, shaken and forsaken,
Else, he returns never again even if you shed remorseful tears of an ocean!
N.B. This poem is based on the philosophy of Lord Krishna in the Hindi serial Radhekrishna.

A LETTER FROM AMERICAN BIOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE TO SHANKAR D MISHRA
THANKS DR. CHAMBIAL SIR FOR RECMMENDING MY NAME TO ABI, USA
A LETTER FROM DR. A. P. J ABDUL KALAM TO SHANKAR D MISHRA
A SALUTE TO DR. A. P. J ABDUL KALAM ON HIS BIRTHDAY
O the most revered and gentlest Dr. Kalam,
Do kindly accept our sincerest Pranam.
For, thou art for us, the angelic 'Abou Ben Adhem',
A sweet, mellow fruit in proud India’s Success and Dignity Stem!
Thou didst prove "One can scale to an enviable acme of eminence,
Not merely because of one's Milton's imperial, or favourable ambience,
But by virtue of one’s persistent and perspiring perseverance,
Unflagging pace, unswerving toil and passive sufferance!”
'The Missile Man of India", thou art dotingly called,
Born with a unique flair to turn cheap brass into glorious gold;
Who is known as the young ignited India’s " the avuncular Uncle"
Who adorned the Highest Office of the country on his own mettle!
A true Visionary of Modern and developed India,
Whom gratefully salute the whole country's intelligentsia....!
O the great Soul! Mother India Herself is proud of thee,
For thy matchless humility, patriotism and virtuosity!
* scale to eminence – reach/attain highest state of importance
* unflagging – untiring
* unswerving – constant/ steadfast
* toil and sufferance - work hard and suffering/endurance
* flair –natural ability to do something efficiently
* avuncular – regarding uncle
* adorned - decorated
* mettle – determination
* intelligentsia – the intellectual or cultured masses
* virtuosity – talent/ skill
N.B: Late DR. A. P. J ABDUL KALAM [ 15 Oct, 1931 - 27 July, 2015) was India's 11th President.] This poem was published in the FEBRUARY ISSUE of POETRY WORLD, Chennai, India, 2011. Abdul Kalam himself was impressed by reading this poem. He had sent an e-mail to me thanking me.

PREACHINGS OF LORD KRISHNA (1) 20.09.19
PREACHINGS OF LORD KRISHNA (1)
Do shoulder in life, without any sign of hesitation, your own burden,
As, to emit the most benevolent heat and light, the Sun Himself does burn,
As, to dispel the dreadful darkness of night, the Moon Herself does fight,
As, the Rivers themselves decide when and why to move to the left, or meander to the right!
Don't shirk your shoulders from shouldering your own burden,
As, to materialize the dream of Motherhood, labour pang can't be avoided by a woman,
As, to lick the sweet and mouth watering honey, the stings of the bees can't be turned down,
As, without listening to the public grievances to redress on time, one can't wear a Royal Crown!
One, who tries, in vain, to pass to others one's own unavoidable burden,
One, who yearns to relish with other's Senses, the happiness of Heaven,
One, who craves to quench one's irresistible thirst, with other's tongue,
One, who ponders to be Michael Jackson, or Lata Mangeskar without singing a song,
Ends up so soon as a stuff of ridicule, mockery and nothingness,
For, one, who himself buys a ticket for the hell, can't rest on the Longue Heaven's!

THE LOVE OF A REAL FRIEND
THE LOVE OF A REAL FRIEND
A real friend feels more proud of his friend's sweet Success!
"May everyday be my friend's heyday!" he ever eagerly prays and cherishes;
For, even long after the entire creation prematurely perishes,
The pure Love of a real friend, like the immortal HEAVEN, flourishes!
A real friend seeks never a honey haired Anne Gregory to cheer and praise,
Nor does he look for a marvellous Maud Gonne to applaud and appreciate;
For, he, like the Moon for the Lily at nights, and the Sun for the Lotus in days,
Rests far above the rests, who're ever led by outer attraction, lust, flattery and hate!
A real friend sees never with the common mundane eyes of give and take;
For, he is, for his friendship wheels' safe runs and sound halts, a self-erasing brake!
He, like the secure back of a Father, and the nectaric breasts of a Mother, lives for his friend,
And with the least anticipation, like the most benevolent rains, serves till very end!
Let's, thus, unlike most, practise the rarest Love of a real friend,
For, it's Abou Ben Adhem's saintly Quality,
can't be by words explained!

LET'S NOT BUY FLATS IN THE KINGDOM OF LIARS!
LET'S NOT BUY FLATS IN THE KINGDOM OF LIARS!
Lying is a sinister Sin,
Its Votaries are ominous, malevolent and mean!
They easily fall preys to ever vigilant God's wrath and rage,
The are the blackest spots on the ever written Time's Page!
They try, in vain, to escape the due Divine Penalty-Snare,
With their tempting treats, mind seducing bribes and persuasion power;
But, alas, they fail to perceive that God is much above these base human trends,
That's why, He blesses Truthful, and curses the rich Liars and to hells them sends!
Whatever the Liars assume to be their insured wealth is purely virtual,
For, their hallucinative highways of growth lead not them to life's Goal actual!
They misconceive throughout life of swimming in the lakes of dews,
For, none but they, as Facebook Users, can view their spam victories, and sham News!
Let's, so, never splurge to buy the costliest flats in the kingdom of Liars,
For, they are only the Up Trains, to hells of unending woes, with multiple tiers!

HARD WORK
O the ever fertile and fast flourishing fields of Hard Work,
Never pass through any disappointing or dampening Luck!
The fierce and frustrating floods of Failure never frequent It,
The debilitating droughts of Despair never dare to distress a bit!
O Hard Work is the only nourishing and vital Food for the plants of Success,
All the unrivalled Victors, without It, would have lagged far behind in life's Race!
The bitter Neem Leaves of Hard Work taste sweeter even than saccharine,
Alas! Without It, even the fittest falter and fall in the fight, and the richest lean!
Hard Work is the stringent Anvil in life's honest and fiery furnace,
Where the stains of sloth are scorched to obtain purity and peace,
Where the raw thoughts are struck hard to have the ripe and right shapes,
And from where ejaculates life's perfection and oozes ultimate happiness!
Let's, thus, never cowardly and callously hesitate to wear in life Hard Work's shoes,
For, Harder the Work is, more rewarding, more relishing and rarer are the Feats-dues!
