A way to stay Away from slander

Facing slander:

Behavior of us often faces slander  

There is no need to ponder

Aspersions are from people who wander

Dignified demeanor never faces a plunder

People who wish to injure will be legion

Be courageous to triumph any contagion

Foolish, to cringe on their allegation

Leads you to an adamantine confusion

Requital should never be an abuse

People like those are deliberately obtuse

Explaining ourselves is of no use

Your excuse will never stop them to accuse

The best solution is to be still

No matter continue your goodwill

Make your presence a happiness pill

Almighty will surely grant all your will

Love, Regret - College days

Love, Regret: College days

First sight, she was in a yellow attire

Invoked an immense desire

Never thought consequences would be a dire

Activity of mine caused self ire

Relationship started calling her a friend

Wistful, it has become a trend

No empathy that this pairing would offend

All we thought is we could mend

Forgot who proposed first

Immature to realize love or lust

My confidence was at its best

Yes, what we did was unjust

Angelic she was as she likes to preen

To stand beside her, I was keen

With these emotions were wasted my teen

Reminiscence will and ever be green

To let know people she did hesitate
I had an immense desire to ostentate
Her friends started to hate
A sense of detachment did instigate 

We both graduated ‘together’

I tried hard ‘to-get-her’

She decided something better

Decision of her was bitter

What made me so petty?

Why? Was she so pretty?

My foolish acts were so witty

I was often an object of pity

She left me without any reason

I thought it as treason

Possessed immense indignation

Later realized justness of her decision

Now I have absolutely no hate

Feel it is just my fate

Very happy for my collage mate

Of course regretting a bit late  

Sachin - A tribute

Sachin - A tribute.

An 11 year old clenched a willow                       

To cricket he was a callow

Aged young he had to mellow

His batting made opponents turn yellow.

He appeared to be little

Cricket world did belittle

Overcame with a howling mettle

24 years he was in fine fettle.

Endearing as he looks like a pudgy

Developed a reputation as child prodigy

People worship having his effigy

Best batsman ever, anyone grudgy?  

Considered as Gavaskars' embodiment

Even Gavaskar astonied at his accomplishment

Every innings was an entertainment

None could fetch such an enthrallment.

Ballyhooed often as cricket God

Who can revolt with a nod

Yes, his strategies were a timely mod

A HUMAN with extraordinary fad.

Having reached great heights, still humble

Carried his career without any fumble

Masked himself from crickets' gamble

For cricket aspirants a perfect example

Highest run getter in all forms

On crease he just storms

Word or attitude he never harms

Controversies on him he just calms.

Cricket is most Indians' desire

Post 200th test he is going to retire.

Now on it will be an absolute tire

Melancholic, he no more wears blue attire
