ADDENDA TO MY COMPENDIUM OF POEMS AT A GLANCE by ASHWINI KUMAR GOSWAMI (top 100 books to read .txt) 📕

British during their ruling tenure in fact intact,
The British being ever egoistic and expansionist quite clever !
French, Greek and Latin are mother and/or step-mother
Of English with the basic product Sanskrit being the grandmother,
English thus a mixture of so many dialects and languages,
Adopting liberally vocabulary of multi-national heritages !

“Haughty-naughty”
*****************
In colleges and schools, there are multifarious activities,
Besides teaching, celebrating occasional-seasonal functions !
Annual Day, Republic Day, Freedom Day like festivities,
Teachers and students gather like passengers in junctions !
In marriages, holy-thread ceremonies or any National Festival,
Literary meets, Art Concerts, Exhibitions, Games or Cinemas,
Or identical red-letter days, whether celestial or terrestrial,
The ‘haves’ well so rejoice and ‘have-nots’ ever face dilemmas !
In all spheres, we may well witness disparities among people,
Elite class ever seemed giving others radically a wide berth,
By occupying separate box-seats over and above a houseful,
With a view to invariably visualize their well wealthy worth !
Such elitism is tantamount to pontificate haughty behaviour,
People of the lower classes enviously beseach naughty career !
Haughty attitude is most common in elite sophisticated females,
Who are ever egoistic to prove superiority through boastful tales !
Similar attitude is well observed by the silver-tail haughty males,
Unmindful of their poorest ancestral entity from which any hails !
Middle and lower class people are thus constrained to be naughty,
To defeat, however, such haughtiness when it is felt too pretty !
Such quandary of disparity is apt to manipulate havoc many times,
Through commotions, revolutions and resultant strikes or crimes !
It is hence enjoined upon the elites to dissuade disparity so seen,
To create harmony and tranquility which all humans may esteem !
Bragadocio on account of elitisms or else is not an eternal boon,
However rich anybody may be born mouthing a silver-spoon !
The ultimate is its dismissal by ageing or edging time of life,
In which state everybody sustains idly irrecoverble strife !

{PHILOSOPHIC PHRASING)
“I & My”
*******
‘I’, the 9th letter of English alphabet envisages self-pride,
If “I’ stands as a groom supposedly, ‘My” is his bride !
‘I’ ever stands vertical going up proudly quite straight,
“My’ remains horizontal ever eager to augment mandate !
Anybody well suited-booted with a well befitting tie,
Also keeps standing vertical analogously as does ‘I’ !
Grammatically ‘I’ is classified as First Person Pronoun,
‘You and ‘He’ be Second and Third Persons to pronounce !
‘I’, ”You’ and ‘He’ all are always indulged in excursion,
Each of them exchanges oneself by casual conversion !
Self-pride and selfishness arise when anyone becomes ‘I’
All the pronouns becoming ‘I’ try to fulfil it until they die !
This causes in our life inadvertent individual indifference,
As ‘I’ and ‘My’ are ever adamant to lucrative self-preference !
Those who have faith in God regard that everything is His,
This concept enables anyone virtually to become a whizz !
‘I’ must hence be philanthropic and forgo marrying ‘My’,
Confessing before God telling Him that ‘Everything is thy’ !

“4 to 7 ones in 2011″
**************
This year the astrologists appear to forecast little fear,
What they have prognosticated today, let us hear here !
1-1-11 is said to be an auspiciously conspicuous day;
Those celebrating birthday or taking birthday today,
May be prosperously fortunate to win well in the fray,
To accomplish people’s well-wishes to be happy and gay !
When “1″ stands by another “1″, it completes a team of 11;
If “1″ is mixed with another “1″, it increases to “2″ even;
1-1-11 when mingled together, they be a compact of “4″;
The number “1″ is also the choicest position to score !
The same is the compact of 2011 equal thereto exactly;
Today is therefore numerologically lucky perfectly !
The figure “1″ today trilaterally occupies four spots
Of the day, the month and the year with dashes or dots !
Furthermore on 1-11-11, it will even cover five spots,
“1″ is beginner of numerology beyond the noughts !
2011 is thus astrologically an aspired auspicious year,
To run our life-cart with little fear, blissfully to steer !
So, eat drink and be marry this year to well rejoice,
Attempting your endeavours apropos your choice !

“BALDY-BLONDE”
@o@o@o@o@
However fair or fine may be our complexion,
If baldy or blonde, it may cause a bit depression !
Unlike old days, today people facing balding
And/or their hair turning grey worth retarding !
Hence keep ever flourishing our balding hair,
By applying oomph advertized here and there !
To upkeep our handsome look everywhere,
As we appear better and fair if our hair is fair !
So let us ever be vigilant to care for our hair,
Lest our head should become baldly bare,
And we may face inferiority at every affair !
Our spouse may also then shrink from our pair,
Afraid of people’s satirically daring to stare !
To eclipse baldy bareness, people wear wig,
The public is wise enough to apprehend its fig !

“Tea-Tea-Tea”
************
Any where we happen to go and any where we come,
An adamantine addiction all over, the tea has become !
Hosts and guests both serve and savour its flavour,
It accomplishes formality even to serve any raver !
Labours, leaders, mechanics, technicians, artistes,
Actors, contractors, tailors, traders, scientists,
Literarians, politicians, sportspersons, writers,
Doctors, patients, pensioners, freedom-fighters,
Or any remaining people, idlers and vagrants,
Whether inside or outside their residence !
Most of all today are addicts of tea in the peak,
Numerous of them have turned to be theic !
Shelters like inns, hotels, stations, cinema-halls,
Hospitals, public gardens, towns-hall and malls,
Everywhere are mobile barrows and tea-stalls,
Hot-hot tea, hot-hot-tea may be heard their calls !
Maximal material cost per cup is within two rupees,
Selling price charged we bear between 3 to 10 rupees !
This has become business of exorbitent profiteering,
Apt to be controlled by any mandatory monitoring !
The public only can discourage such black-marketing,
By reluctance to take tea at such rampant rating !
**************
“REMINISCENCE”
***************
Whenever we ponder over any our past experience,
We may have our wasteful or onerous appearance !
This is what we call literally imaginary reminiscence !
It inculcates in everyone a very rational renaissance !
All in ongoing life fall into sweet or bitter memories,
Anecdotally relating to read, heard or written stories !
May have also heard or read anecdotes of anamneses,
Or have also read about a number of palingenetic cases !
Anamnesia and palingenesis are yet fallible or fictional,
Bearing no scientific proof, as is primarily conditional !
Analogous to celestial bodies like flying discs in the sky,
Whose identity has hitherto hailed often ‘how’ and ‘why’ ?
Terrestrial technology cannot even decipher such quiz,
Even with the help of a paragon or any expert or whizz !
Eventually I idly also happen to beat or cudgel my brain,
When asked by kids browsing such puzzles to entertain !
Consequently I helplessly prevaricate in the status quo,
With any pretext of exit, whatsoever, at a stone’s throw !
Whenever in my leisure and pleasure, I have a day-dream,
Strolling along avenue enunciated in my novelistic theme !
In a state of reverie, I feel in my bones that I had had to enroll
The end of my past life for transmigration of soul in next role !
Thunderously I wonder having seen the same scenes in dreams,
Through preternatural Sunlight or Moonlight and bright beams;
As though I had lived my past life on any such illusory abode,
Educationalists even could not decipher such enigmatic code !
Almost all merely shun the query calling it a flimsy fantasy,
All the way along condemning proliferation of such ecstasy !
****************


“Impact Of Act”
**************
An agreement by two or more people to render any act;
Enactment of rules and regulations constitutes an Act;
Meeting or touching anybody or anything makes contact;
Things when mixed or mingled together formulate compact,
The force or effect of mingled materials envisages impact !
Notwithstanding all, act is also hidden in contract and fact !
These are various aspects of act we happen to come across,
Sustaining all time-to-time irrespective of any gain or loss !
Educative lessons make us apprehend its individual sense,
To be wise enough to distinguish them all with confidence !
All sectors of generation can hardly escape from them,
Keeping “act” intact for maintenance of its varying stem !
Vigilant we ought to be judiciously in our daily survival,
During standstill status, occasional departure or arrival !
The politicians and the top-brass are bent upon exalting assets,
Pact, tact and contact are their lucrative practicing outlets !
The bourgeoisie and the proletariat sustain its fateful force,
Languishing lingering life, howsoever, despite trivial source !
“Act” is thus multifariously ever dominant in our living life,
Whether to vitiate atmosphere or even to cleanse and wipe !
All of us act everyday whether purposely or circumstantially,
That is the impact of act hardly forgiveable substantially !
Notwithstandingly, what surpasses all is the “Act of God”,
Which demolishes all acts by the force of “His Rigid Rod” !
So, fear God always while laxly performing any evil deeds,
Praying Him everyday justifiably to acquiesce our needs !

“Inevitable adieu ad finem”
************************
Sandwiched betwixt 2010 & 2011, will be the stroke of midnight sheer,
To bid adieu to the ending year and to welcome just then landing year !
Every year entails moments of squabbles between cheers and tears,
Anyone blessed with wisdom lives patiently to bear even or odd jeers !
People consult astrologists to know how to undo any predestined fears,
Apropos horoscopes indicative of orbiting planets changing their gears !
So we have got to bid natural good-bye to this year advancing to end,
And to welcome the ensuing New Year just as we welcome a friend !
Hence, forget all miseries we had had hitherto to undergo and face,
In order to go on optimistically ahead to run steadily our full race !
Believe on the dogma that God helps those who help themselves,
Irrespective of the status quo whether of ‘have-nots’ or ‘haves’ !
*************


“PEER INTO NEW YEAR”
*******************
Today we are all ears, from everywhere to hear,
To bear with cheerful voice of Happy New Ear !
We people are emotionally innocent to sustain,
Depending on Divinity for any likely loss or gain !
We wish well always of geniality of the generation,
Well regarding relations with virtuous veneration !
This is the Indian culture envisaged in our myths,
As candidly conveyed through our affable ethics !
So let us widely welcome all ensuing ‘New Years’,
Vowing vividly to rejoice them well with cheers !
Life has to come across predestined predicaments,
So fight them out patiently via sagacious sentiments !
If we make others happy, sure, we shall be alike,
That will certainly comfort our life and its hike !
WISHING HEARTILY ‘HAPPY TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN’,
TO GATHER TOGETHER ALL TO LIVE AS IN HEAVEN !
