Where eagles dare: A poem by Manisha Amol


Young boy from a small town and a mediocre family,
Cherished big dreams in his magnetic eyes lived shyly.

Be it engineering,astronomy,
physics or aeronautics,
Was dextrously adept at handling all the dynamics.

Had a humble background but ambitions sky high,
Goals set,readied nuances and determined to fly.

Malleable brilliant mind leaving behind a lucrative career,
Forays into an uncertain world ruled by mafia all over.

Dazzle and splendour caught him in a short span of time,
He climbed up so steep,a valid reason so sublime.

Sharp focus,due diligence and a fearless mind,
Broke all the shackles leaving negativity behind.

Rose to a height where eagles dare to fly,
Looked at the stars with a gleaming telescopic eye.

Alas! irresponsibly bullied,harassed,subdued and troubled,
Despite all the malaise,he still remain humbled.

Vicious thoughts and conspiratory deeds of his rivals,
Could not tolerate his magnificent and trendy arrival.

Brutally assaulted-the journey ended of a brilliant man,
Had exposed the mafia of all the malafide plan.

Sudden mysterious demise shocked his fans world over,
Call for justice echoes and will be remembered forever.

Has left an indelible scar on the minds of loved ones,
Shall ever remain immortal in the hearts of family and friends.

A stranger: A poem by Preeti S Manaktala

Image
On a quest to search you—  many questions still remain unanswered. You, a stranger, an enigma and mystical.  I wonder who you really are? Not again, don’t step into my thoughts. Shall I let go of my quest, as you seem too far. You stir my being, question my journey. I long to touch you, you the stranger!  Shall I seek you through the Northern lights? Or see your light in the Fireflies?  Experience your wrath in the Volcanoes  Or your myriad colors through a Rainbow!  You are inaccessible like Moon the stars.  Folklore says I must tread Mount Kailash. Crying and yelling, I even searched for you on my dad's funeral. But now, I find you everywhere!! I feel you in the raindrops. I feel you in the breeze. I feel you through the sun rays. When I close my eyes in ecstasy, I, finally feel you within me...!

The book of my life: A poem by Richa Srivastava

Image
It looks just like 'ordinary' as the word is... No shiny wraps to cover its face... Simple as it looks, But every page has a hook for taking another look. Be gentle when you flip its page You'll find some imperfect perfect moments at every stage.. Don't skip a few... for it bores you... You might miss  my  accomplishments, tucked away neatly in a line or two...   They say, ' Life  is not a bed of roses'  You'll see... Some lines are full of agony and bruises... Turn the corners delicately... For some fragile smiles may try to slip through, impatiently... Every line that you have read... ..Is the truth I have always dread... It's not me that you read... it's  my  soul that you've reached! That's not all!  You heard me right! The best is yet to arrive! Its the journey I have been through, Like a roller coaster ride,  This is, This is... "The  book  of  my   life ".

The tree house: A story by Neha Gupta

  It was the first day of school after a long summer vacation. Students were walking towards the main lobby from the entrance of the school. After the deadly silence of two months school was alive again with chatter and jubilant sounds from the students. Watching the students climbing stairs and reaching their respective classrooms, there I stood, the first-grade homeroom teacher. While most of the students were having a joyful time, there was a boy standing very quietly in one corner. After watching him for some time I approached him and asked his name and class but didn't get any reply. He held his face down looking at his shoes all the time. I then scanned his school ID to find that the boy's name is Anish, a new admission, and a student of my class itself. The boy was living in the school hostel. I observed that Anish did not speak with anyone in the class. One full week passed like this, I hoped every day that he would start mingling and making friends. He was lost i
