Add Life To Years

Melting clock: Live life beyond time
It just takes few seconds to get to the finishing line;
few minutes to call it a day at work and recline;

Few hours to meet that special someone;
few days to get your salary for the long weekend's fun;

Few months to get your valuable educational degree;
Few years for the prisoner to be set free.

Less than a second is all it takes
for the heartbeat that keeps you alive

Few seconds is all it takes to
breathe in oxygen and survive.

Decisions are made in no longer than a second
Accidents do kill, when no harm you would intend

Seconds spent in sorrow are always too long
Only time can filter the right from wrong

Stay calm and never lose your facial charm
Forgive, for revenge is always double the harm

A second for the baby to get ex-utero
And precious years of learning to talk and draw

And a little more years to eat, play and grow
Life's, then on, a short one-man show

So live those little moments, seconds to years
Embrace the priceless gifts of life - smiles and tears

Few seconds is all it took for you to read this rhyme
If you could catch the connotations, its worth the spent time

Let out the emotion; laugh out loud and shed those tears
Life is not about the years it has got.
Add life to years.
Add life to years.


 Life is made up of these very little moments.
Mat socho ki zindgi mein kitne pal hain. Ye dekho ki har pal mein kitni zindgi hain.

    Nice. So many deas spun into beautiful poetry! The last 2 lines also reminded me of, "Har pal yahaan ji bhar jiyo...jo hai samaa kal ho na ho!" ;)

      Yes. Didn't really try sequencinh the imagination process. And when ideas were just waiting to get typed, they all fell in rhyme.
      Thanks a lot for your appreciation and encouragement. Thank you, Dr. Radha!

The Ground Where Everybody Wins

Jay was now a changed man, or so he assumed. The workshop on leadership skills training had began to cast its effect on his personality. He could now sense within himself, a feeling of renewed vigor and enthusiasm to work on a new research project. He always knew that he was a highly reliable team worker. The interest he nurtured in research could now help him redistribute his passion in taking the less-traveled roads, backed with the realization that when the techniques are familiar, one must venture into new areas. For the same reason, his project head sensed that with better team leader skills, Jay would certainly strike gold. Jay, however, felt that his thirst for confidence in taking head on, the new challenge of leading a research team, was far from being quenched. He lived in constant fear that, if he could not prevent the misunderstandings that inadvertently creep in among his colleagues from gaining more frequency, they would take things to the next level of professional ven

Tell Me You Are Healthy

The World Health Organization gave a beautiful definition to the perpetual enigma that we call 'health'. This definition is like a suit that covers almost all parts from head to toe, but is the body really in there? The more I learn from the books on medicine and sociology, the more elusive it seems to define health. Let me put before you the international definition from the WHO, the people we consider are the ultimate authority over these aspects as they even guide countries to promote and protect the health of their citizens. They say, 'Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.' There is nothing more to ask from God. Infinite thanks for keeping us alive and disease-free. More than a thousand discussions have been held to refine and redefine health, and well-being in the course of it. Thank God for disease has a definition. Diseases fall under three groups: the ones that come and go
