Aniruddha Pathak Poems

You scarce can the wind change,
But can adjust the sail;
You can't your life exchange,
But put it back on rail.
...

Knowledge learnt from class room tends to age,
As does what's learnt from a printed page
Passes with passing time,
No more remaining prime,
...

Given water, water everywhere,
What value is pot-ful water?
To a Brahmin knowing his Self well,
What worth Vedic scriptures would spell? || 2.46 ||
...

In each marriage more than a week old,
Fair grounds good-enough for divorce hold.
The trick just is to find
Grounds to stay put, nigh blind,
...

New ventures when waited in a line,
Things have sure changed. They wait now .
Single window clearance
Clearing them at once,
...

There are those that potion of sorrows drink
To help others, but never once they blink.

Wipe out tears from others' life clean,
...

Life would sink to its depth absolute
Were it to do karma no more,
So too, if karma were shorn of fruit,
World would no more grow here to fore.
...

When inspired are you
By some great purpose
That touches humanity's cause—
Noble project to give,
...

Fair, I lose my hair than this bald head,
Fair, eat bread even if bare of spread;
Little there's in life fair,
Fair, grey hair than no hair,
...

Receding night goes grinning whilst still grey,
Loosening grip on her night-long dark belt,
As frosty snow mellows slowly to melt,
As moon saunters to hide behind bright day,
...
