A cute little story has been an inspiration for writing this poem.

Jab Bhagwanji ne is shristi ka nirmaan kiya,
     Tab pashu, pakshi, manushya aur anya jiyo ko janam diya!
Phir har choti choti baato se karte wo Bhagwanji jo pareshaan,
     Aur Bhagwanji reh gaye hairaan hi hairaan!
Samaj na aaye karna kya hai,
     Chip ne gaye ve sabhi jaga e!
Par jivo ne unhe dhund hi liya,
     Toh Bhagwanji ne nirnay liya!
Chip gaye ve jivo ke hriday mein,
     Aur thaan liya sirf un logo ki madad karna 
Jo sache dil se unhe pukare!
     Kyun? 
Aayi baat samaj mein,
     Har dil wale!
    
Out of sheer frustration just before my TYBA exams, my heart vented out these words.

Spent nocturnal dates - JJ with Ondaatje,
                                    Rose with Victorian Prose,
                                    Yuvi with Romantic Poetry,
Have travelled from the Elizabethan to the Postcolonial Age,
Halted at various stages of Literature,
Cultivated new perspectives,
And, of course, widened our horizons!
     But yaar ek break to maar!
     Exams ki kya zarurat hai?
     Daravni Prelims ki surat hai!
     Assignments se hai hamari asli pehchaan,
     Marks ke liye na lo hamari jaan!

Time Flies

Kumbhkarna is my another name,
Sleeping is my favourite game,
Studying is one thing that I just don’t like,
Anger is my favourite bite,
Saving time is my final aim!
