Bad days do not last long,
One should have patience,
To overcome them all.
...

(Dedicated to my mother)

You smiled at me,
Even though you were in pain,
...

A tale,
Of two pals,
Ego possessed the former,
Self-respect imbibed the latter.
...

O winged ones,
You come in thousands
From distant lands
To enjoy the cool lap
...

Dreams began to wane
as she faced distress
and she proclaimed
there were lots to express.
...

She kept awake
whole night long,
her eyelids
refused to bow
...

My mind was filled
With too many thoughts,
Thoughts of the past,
Thoughts of the future,
...

Through an introspection,
One can analyse any reaction.

Situations remain the same,
...

We are born free,
Yet find ourselves,
Fastened with shackles.
...

I lost touch with you
For so many years,
But when I think of you,
It seems like -
...

Spring has arrived
And 'Bohag' beckons,
Parents await their
Homeward sons.
...

Oh! Precious drops,
A view crystal clear,
Life without you,
A complete mess,
...

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose,
Born on twenty-third January,
A great inspiring leader,
The greatest patriot of our country.
...

Strolling on the sandy beach,
Enjoying the cool gentle breeze,
I looked at the people around.
Little children built sand-castles,
...

I like to see -
The sun rising,
The flowers blooming,
A baby smiling,
...

An old lady,
Wrinkles stamped on her face,
Greeted me 'Merry Christmas',
Invited me to her residence.
...

Fingers dance on the strings
Melodious tunes begin to flow
Sweet music soothes the ears
Ah! Relaxation simply serene.
...

Unpleasant feelings veil her
And she laments in agony,
Helplessly observing from the horizon…
Evergreen trees and dense forests
...

Dark clouds of depression
loomed in her mind,
followed by long sighs,
accompanied by sobs.
...

Dew-drops,
Adorn a morn,
Glitter like pearls,
Cling on to cobwebs,
...
