Don’t vest your identity in another.
You are yours alone.
Don’t seek validation from
your lover, friend or mother.

A Tough Job
It is, indeed, tough to be a guru. You cannot just preach some sentences from a book and write some words on the blackboard with a chalk and mark the attendance of the students and attend meetings. A guru is beyond being a teacher.
Stop Dragging
Don’t make them feel alone
if you are with them,
if you share a bond
of heart with them.
An Adventurous Connection
I won’t be impressed
if you like what I like,
if you do what I do,
if you can offer nothing new
for me to discover, learn, explore and practice.
Don’t Wake Me Up
Let me stay there—
in my world of dreams.
I don’t hear here
any shrieks and screams.
Hypocrites
My mother curses the rapists,
blames the government for avoiding
the death punishment that
should be given to such animals.
Don’t Calm Down
Intimate
There is a tension between them. He is breathing too close. She can hear his murmurings and hot breath in her ear. A shiver is running down her neck throughout her body. Her pupils have dilated, as if in fear— her fear of getting too close to anybody, her fear of intimacy.
A Walk Together
Come, walk with me.
We will sit in the park, maybe,
and find the stars in the sky
which are hidden behind
clouds which are dark as your eyes.
Pining
I sigh and utter your name.
My heart pines for you.
You remain to be the same
for me—a soul so beautiful.
