Water you have gone too far

You came uninvited,

Walked into my life unexpected,

I used to relish your presence,

Your warm embracing essence,

But now its fear that envelopes,

As you invade my abode in waves.


Oh! Water you have gone too far,

You have marked my home with scar.


Did you like my refrigerator cake, 

My oven that bakes, 

The warm bedding stacked,

My exclusive cloth rack,

My study corner jam-packed, 

My sweets and packets of nicknacks.


Oh! Water you have gone too far,

You have marked my living-being with scar.



You slithered and snaked in quietly,

All throughout the day that didn't glow brightly,

You moved around like a toddler,

As inquisitive as an explorer,

Cursing anyone to break with utmost ease,

Spreading death, distraction and disease.


Oh! Water you have gone too far,

You have marked my worlds with scar.

 


Till yesterday, I roamed without any fees,

Today you have brought me to my knees,

Made me a weeper when I see my keys,

As from walls, roofs, floor tiles your clan seeps,

You invaded my neural peace,

Now, I sleep with disrupted ease.


Oh! Water you have gone too far, 

You have marked my neurons with a scar.

An Ideal Teacher

An ideal teacher sketched,

In my mind it's etched, 

She needn't be perfect,

For me to give her respect.


She need not be all so beautiful, 

Just plain and simple, but colourful, 

Would love to laugh with her, at her jokes, 

But listen, when imparting wisdom quotes. 


With her I spend six long hours, 

So let's build knowledge towers, 

For me, word teacher has a meaning,

Simply put down in writing.


T - Treading new paths together with students

A - Approachable to the students

E - Even tempered even in the worst scenario 

C - Consistently upgrading oneself

H - Heard above the din

E - Empathetic towards the needy

R - Resourcefully creative


Words so many get jumbled,

Some roared, some rumbled, 

But altogether they bow down thanking,

With you as my teacher,

My school days are blooming.




India on the moon

I look up in the night sky,

A silver circle way up high,

It place hide and seek with me,

A Playmate for free.


It's changing shape makes me ponder,

What is on the dark side, I wonder!

What's the look and feel of a moon rock, 

Is it ice or a shiny block.


Now you are not unatinable, I say! 

To decipher the moon mystery, India is a capable, Hurray!

For Vikram has landed on the south pole,

Fortnight of sun basking to fullfill many a information goals.
