BACKBENCHERS LIFE

Backbenchers life is in another world,
Their thinking is behind it and their worthless knowledge which is never sold.
Some sit on back bench for a good view,
Of the blackboard, exceptions are a few.
Those who are weak in studies and have interest in studying, nearly none,
Prefer sitting there to have lots of fun.
Sitting on the last seat,
For the purpose that we can easily cheat.
Being inexperienced, they think that at first they will enjoy,
Choosing a wrong path, they play with life just like a toy.
The best way is to follow parent’s and teacher’s advice,
They are the king of experience and for best counselling they are so wise.

Karma

“Everything you do comes back to you,
Whether it is good or bad.
We are reflection of what we put out into the world.
If you use and abuse the people,
Life will use and abuse you.
This is just a matter of give and take,
Karma is a powerful concept to live by,
As it keeps some of us on the right path,
So do always right Karma even
If you have to stand alone”

MIXED EXPERIENCES DURING COVID-19

Current Corona pandemic
Wreaked havoc all over the world
Many got infected
Ill fated few died
And majority fortunates survived
All doctors and governments to control menace tried
E484k strain is more contagious virus
With Africa lineage variant of Coronavirus
Government advisories issued well on time
Vaccine invented in record time
Three things social distancing, wearing of mask
And regular washing of hands must
Alas ? waterloo few only trust
World economies suffered worldwide
Unemployment plethora increased
Employent opportunities depleted/ shrinked
Online education not a preferred mode
Children education suffered the most please note
Trying situations all across
Some businesses ran into loss
When the dust will settle down God only knows
All failed only God can do some mysterious healing trick
People avoided outside junk food
Consumed nutritional home made food
And of course healthy food
And didn’t fall sick then and now
People became self disciplined on their own
Stayed within the four boundary walls of their homes
Exercise in whatever form within the premises of their homes
Online shopping a preferred mode
Ask welfare and convey heartfelt condolenceson phone
Differences amongst family members cropped up
One preferred to attend social functions
To continue the social lineage alive
But others said emphatic no
Current pandemic a God’s curse
Descended on earth
A strong view of few
Request all to behave still
Before the bigger hell arrives
And thunderously strikes
And we all fall again from heaven to hell
