Tina and Pinky were very good friends. They used to go to school together and since they lived in same building both would play together as well.
Though Tina and Pinky were bright students Tina would always score better than pinky. Pinky would feel disappointed and wonder why does Tina always have upper hand in studies. But when it came to sports pinky would always come first and tina would always fall behind. But tina never felt disappointed or jealous. She would whole heartedly praise and congratulate pinky.
One day during class test tina as usual scored 10 out of 10 and pinky scored 8 out of 10. Pinky was again unhappy looking at her score. After reaching home she was sitting in her room and then suddenly thought why not she check with Tina and follow Tina’s study pattern. So she decided that now on she will always check with Tina which subject is she studying and she too will study the same subjects. Tina was very good at math and whereas pinky was good in social studies.
Next day in school the mid term exam dates where announced. Pinky immediately decided that she would study with tina. Tina happily agreed and aftr school every evening pinky would go to tinas house to study. Tina knew which subject she wanted more attention and had planned accordingly and decided to give more importance to those subjects. She told pinky the same thing that she too should plan her studies and give more importance to subjects which she is weak at. Pinky thought tina was misguiding her and was studying the same subjects what tina was studying. Since tina was good at math so shedecided that she would work on math only a day before math exam But pinky was bit slow in maths and since she was copying tinas study habits she too neglected maths. Exams started and the first subject was math. So as planned tina picked her math book and started working on various calculations a day before exam. Pinky too picked her book to solve the math calculations. But she was seeing stars. She was not able to complete even one chapter after struggling for 2 hrs. Whereas tina had already completed half of the portion.
Pinky got very nervous. She din know what to do. She started crying as she was not able to understand some topics. Tina asked pinky the reason for her outbreak. Pinky told her the reason. At this Tina said “I had told you earlier itself that you should give importance to subjects which you are weak at. But you did not listen to me”. She further said “I know you would get unhappy when I score more than you and that’s why you wanted to cooy my study pattern”.
Tin held pinkys hand and told we are good friends. Don’t let jealously come in way of our friendship. Each person is unique and each one has their own strength and weakness.
Pinky realised her mistake and hugged tina and apologised to her. Tina said “ Now wipe off your tears. I will help you with Maths”.
Tina helped pinky with her studies and pinky fared well in the exam
Laziness Never Pays
In a forest lived a squirrel.
The squirrel was very lazy and would spend most of its time sleeping or playing pranks on other animals and making fun of them.
There was an ant who was the squirrel’s neighbor. The squirrel would always make fun of the ant by saying “ Why do you always work like a slave. Why don’t you enjoy your life like me”. “ Just look at me. I enjoy my life to the fullest. What do you get by working so hard ? ”.
The ant did not speak anything as she knew there was no point talking to the squirrel.
One day there was an announcement in the forest that there would be heavy rains for the next few days. The ant decided to stock up on food so that she will have enough food to survive the harsh climate. She thought that as soon as the rain ended she may not be able to go hunting for food and hence decided to store sufficient food to last for a few months. She had food in her store room but still decided to store more food.
The ant was busy stocking up food and the squirrel as usual was playing and doing nothing.
Within a couple of days it started raining very heavily in the forest. It rained and rained. Days went by, then weeks went by, but still the rain did not stop.
The ant was safely staying at home and was not worrying much because she had sufficient food to last for a few months.
One day the ant was sipping her tea sitting by the window and enjoying the rain when she saw the squirrel running from tree to tree.
She thought the squirrel would be upto some mischief and just ignored it.
Next day when the ant was just relaxing on her couch she heard a soft thud. She ran to the window and peeped outside and she saw the squirrel lying on the ground. At first she thought the squirrel was as usual playing pranks. But she noticed that it was raining very heavily and the squirrel was not moving an inch. She got a bit worried and took her umbrella and went near the squirrel. When she reached near, she noticed that the squirrel was lying there unconscious. She hurriedly dragged the squirrel to her house. Covered him with a blanket and when the squirrel gained consciousness, she gave a hot cup of coffee to drink.
The squirrel felt ashamed of his previous behavior towards the ant and hung his head down in shame and asked for forgiveness. The ant told the squirrel that she has forgiven him and that we should always be prepared for the worst and hard work pays. She then shared her food with the squirrel until the end of rains and the squirrel changed from being lazy to being prepared and helping others.

Smart Deer
Once a upon a time there lived a deer in a forest. Once day the deer was returning home after finishing work at a nearby farm.
On the way the deer was stopped by a tiger. The tiger was hungry and wanted to kill the deer for food. The deer pleaded infront the tiger to let her go. But the tiger was adamant and din want to let go off the deer. The deer was thinking of ways to escape this situation and reach home.
Suddenly the deer realised that morning when she was going to work the deer had seen a pit near the big banyan tree.
The deer told the tiger if you leave me I wil show you a place where you will get fresh meat everyday. There is a group of cows grazing near by and the owner comes only in the evening. So you can eat to your content everyday.
The tiger agreed to this and as suggested by the deer started following the deer. Just as the deer had planned as soon as she reached near the pit the deer took a huge leap and the tiger unaware of this fell in the pit and broke his bone.
The smart deer ran home happily.
Good behaviour towards Kids.
Wow wat a lovely day. Exclaimed preeti as she woke up that morning.
She was very happy as it was her first day of summer vacation.
She happily got off the bed and ran out of her room. There she saw her parents having breakfast.
She first hugged her dad and her dad too kissed her on the forehead and wished her goodmorning.
When she turned to her mom, her mom was in a awful mood and did not respond to her in a pleasant way.
Her mom scolded her for waking up late and coming to the breakfast table without brushing or washing her face.
Preeti felt bad about how her mom behaved. She went to her room freshened up and came back to the table.
When they were having breakfast preetis mom said something to preethi’s dad and he replied to her very rudely. Her mom did not like this rude behaviour and asked her husband why did he behave so rudely. She said he could have explained to her in a better way without shouting. She further went on to say that if he scolds her infront of the kid, the kid will learn from the rude behaviour and might start treating her in the same way when she grows up.
At this preeti’s father replied : the same applies to you as well. If you have to explain anything to the kid even you need to be calm and patient. If we start scolding the kids over small things they will learn the same. He further said when preeti came to hug, you should have told her to go and brush and wash her face everyday as soon as she wakes up rather than yelling at her. This way kids will understand and listen to her.
Preeti’s mom realised her mistake and hugged preeti and apologised for her behaviour.
June 2015 on
Then begins era of power hungry money grabbers follow right after
see many corporate Dracula’s there who can easily plough back benefits
to consumers or needy of the world
There you go frowning
shut yourself self down
oblivious of chimes
one sense at a time
leave tribulations behind
draw life force within
Nirvana beckons thee
At the behest of reality
Consciousness took shape
Intelligence formed structure
Thoughts performed
Ignorance prevailed
Destroyed existence
Reality suffers
Light shrieks through space
Burns through cloudy atmosphere
Pierce through skin
rain beckons wetness
Slithers down mossy greens
gusty winds feed
God created earth in 10 days
Made a man and woman out of mud from Africa
A snake scared them and made them eat an apple.
Neanderthals were their offsprings and lost color in Europe
Animals and birds were transported in a boat
Fish were in water is swimming while sea parted
Egyptians Mayans ancient Indians all prayed natural things and powerful objects emitting magnetic and Strong energy of well being
Built huge structures for don’t know what .
Rules of good and bad appeared in books .
Compiled from different writers and constitution .
Following blindly without using brains is today’s humans .
All writing from same source but fights their book is better. Their country is better , their constitution , economy is better .
Ringing the Bell
the sound of resonates
Air vibrates
Traversing space
Echoing through mediums
creating pathways
Clanging bells
Noise wards off evil
Human belief
Life is like an empty sheer of paper
Deciding on what kind of pen to use.
Or will a pencil and eraser do?
Is there a specific subject; or can it be imagined or stolen
Will another page come by and make it a story?
Or will it be a novel, poem or article ?
Can it be a thriller , fiction or turn out to be cartoons ?
Many years does it take for acclaim.
Many eyes shall read and proclaim.
The greatness of what was once
A blank sheet of paper with brooding eyes
To be written or be thrown
Sometimes we see the light
Sometimes the spark
It all started the same way
An enormous explosion
Of emotions unknown
Desires and craving
Fear obscure
Impatient
The spark cascades
Consumes and exudes
Grows up arrogant
Vain and intolerant
The cycle of life
Seeks another
A victim of pleasure
Procreation
Until the light goes out
And the sparks dwindle
Sometimes we see the light
Sometimes the spark
December 2014 to may 2015
too many sunsets
Wondered why shadow decreased
Sun rise after long
backside of the heart
Lies Hidden emotions
Bright Like back of moon
Jan 25
Glorious morning
Happy to meet alive self
Shaman continues
New revelation
Something knocking to get out
Child finds her heart beat
Jazzy’s #haiku
The power of light..
Vibrates through the core of earth
Human awakens
Streets light up at night
moon looks for his partner
Throbbing hearts
Evening sun rays
Reflection on windowpane
Plants bathe again
Sadness in birds eyes
His hoarse calls seeking a mate
Winter sets in
Help me!
I want to ask u
No one in sight
The sea looks calm
Waves ebb and flow
Sands of time drift
Face in the grass
Choosing the tastiest
Grazing
warm wooded morning
straining under ebb and flow
soft breeze throbs away
a wiff and a sip
warm Pungent sweetness flows
the glass gets drunk
Birds take shelter
night comes in broad daylight
eerie silence
#eclipse ©@Surajvinay@gmail.com.
dark clouds of sadness part
thunderous voices resound from past
flashes bright of inspirations abate
gusts of dejection and bitterness dissipate
the path lays littered to trod on,
crystal clear happiness beckon..
oh! human you are not the first
and I Suraj am not the last
Rainbows all around
Happy Water splashes loud
Bubbles fill bathtub
Clear dawn sky
Birds fly silently
Cars roar by
Blow into a wish
dandelion sorrows_
Find happiness
find solace in love
find Meaning of existence
Where not thrives life
-eternally yours
The world created out of consciousness
saw, amazed, realized, hoped, wished
Received out of thoughtfulness
Peace and turmoil hand in hand
Where there is one, there is another
What one gives out to the world
The world receives and gives out the other
Caused, suffered , delivered
Thus shall it be so.
Halo round the moon
After a torrid Eclipse
Lonely heart sighs
Light up a smoke
Journey of thousand miles
Travelled in minutes
So bitter
You don’t need to taste it
Life sucks.
Tired moon..
Behind veil of clouds moving
Tires grind the road
sun and rain pass
beside swings motionless
await happy squeals
Misty morning woes
Rust creeps in
Silent toddler swings
heat of summer soars
Flashes of lightning teases
Fish in cool water
Smoggy morning
Happy people off to work
Spewing nauseous fumes
Honking to glory…
Coughs and wheezes
Struggling to breathe
Another day goes by
Squeezing inhaler
Reality….
Painted on canvas
Floral tribute
A lifetime waltzing, artists queuing, media glaring
The fame and glory, slowly fading, withdrawing
home so crowded, now lonely memories
confined by windows and walls
creaking bones as age catches up and death beckons from afar
Days go by yearning the forgotten days
Glimpses of glory, faintly remember
Of someone,something, somewhere
From the window across the road
she reminiscences
A life well spent bountiful wishes
Deft strokes layers paint
Copy colors of nature
Canvas thickens
Thinking of all the shit in my life
She came along
So pretty she sways
In her pretty dress
So blind she is lookin out
Pretty things fly by
Look pretty
Smile at the camera
Act genuine
Speak someone’s writing
Dress nice
Sing someone’s song
Dance to steps
Reach for the stars
Fake it real
Live for masses
Mark up their prices
Sell them your stuff
Be the judge and their jury
Life in the media
hypocrisy at its best
Perfect role model
Tears are not real
Road to success
One frame at a time
old lady on the road
sleeping in between divider
opposite psr silk, woodlands, goldfinch
food provided by a kid
called white doves who asked to call 108
called 108 who asked who patient is and check what ails her
Called Wenlock hospital no one picked
Friend went there and enquired told to call 100
Called 100 reached bangalore
Glorious morning rays
Old lady seeking alms
appears with extended hand
Pouted I, shook my head
Let her know no coins exists
in constantly draining pant pockets
Pulled out the purse and checked
Went for the paper instead
A crisp note gave her did I
And no remorse go by
Beckoned she to show my head
Over crown passed her hand
Like a sweet mothers caress
For a child with care so nice
happens she wore a burqa in mist
Where fear, repercussions and bias exist
When it comes to show gratitude
boundaries dissappear of solitude
So say I in the morning sun
On a life’s journey take one
Where butterfly feeds free
On bounties that eyes can see
Give all what you have
Receive what you will crave

Later another Lady in shrouds
Baby arms sits across
Spies the water bottle
Asks for a swig
Offered her the same
She drank every drop of it
Gestured if she ate
She said no
Asked why she dint
She begs she said
Husband operation bedridden
Told her to take a seat in front
She did reeking of sweat unwashed clothes
Queried what her plans for kid
She had none
Where she stayed
She didn’t know
Kid never made a sound
Could be drugged
Scrutinised some more
Offerd her a big note
She thanked and then
asked where I stay
Right here I said
Dreamt of reaching there
Went to a mall type lounge
Partying and danced
Made a black friend
Realized had to go
Then went through the back door of a veg restaurant
Went down to stamp visa
Realized forgot passport
Can see trains over head
Went into city thinking how to get back into and out since not stamped
Met a lady who won lottery
Walking with her to her claim point
Went to beach house in natives with her and a girl
Showing around in rik
Sea turns blue and green
Rickshaw tried to escape
Huge wave size of tall building engulfs it
Deep breath and starts to swim upwards not struggling
Summer heat / breeze gathers dark clouds above / tiny drop of rain
Watching, serene, calm
poised attentive frog🐸 sparkling water gush💦

brothers in arms
fueled by land and missiles
blood spurts through warm sand

Sand shines glassy bright
Perimeter of the war

Torment of the skies
Sunlight bathes in Sadness
parched green happiness

Lonely lighthouse
Out there to help one and all
Forever awake
5.
Memories sneak out
Roll down cheeks from both eyes
Many suns go by
We find very less aspirants these days as the moral fabric have torn and formed deeper gashes.
There are many relationships they value more than the one godly one. Cant blame technology to be one but earlier science was banned by religion.
Those willing to be martyrs are many and them willing to knock pearly gates , few.
6. every breathe without love
heavily laden sadness
fall season arrives
7. Depression sleeps
Spontaneity wakes up
Foraging for food

Multiplying tiny cells
Full blown war

perfectly imperfect

Be in the now zazen

Here lies eternity
Morning comes soon

Ugly moves unhindered

Ugly with brains is beautiful
Symmetry of beauty is artificial

Defying gravity
Invoking feelings

17. Oh delicious fish, caught unwittingly in a fisherman’s net
Oh lil egg, taken slyly from underneath your mothers warm nest
To lie waiting in the cold refrigerator and then hot oven and batter
Sheared, smeared, tasted, bruised and layered on bread and butter
You fruits and berries plucked from trees and stems
Leaves along with roots uprooted among gems
glorious colours of cocoa, vanilla, coffee and tea clovers
Dried and burnt to get aromas and flavors
Oh butchers knife that kills and cuts meat out of live birds and animals
Those shepherds shearing the warmth away to warm themselves
Machines that crawl the land and the sea screeching and uprooting
The fabric of life as it existed once upon a time is creaking
Everything done for the pleasures of a human appetite and senses
Trees uprooted to build homes, rivers dammed, oil burnt unscrupulously for those purposes
In the name of progress, funds will leave no stone unturned
Even get god particle in front to flirt with science of evil unperturbed
This is the good, pious living off the earth in perfect harmony with the sad bad generous with no reality check
18. You got that partly right. Let me shed some light into the alien theory. There are many references to aliens in ancient texts drawings and architecture. But none refers to people coming in warships. Those are hollywoood theories . ancient travellers crossed to continents but no such references exist except that of Europeans who travelled. There does exists stories from ancient texts of flying chariots, horses, birds on which humans who were godlike travelled bringing with them wealth and gold and powers to heal and weapons of mass destruction to wage wars.
Even thou the encounters and mutual cooperation are established and the trade mainly in gold and exchange of knowledge does exist and are documented, there is no evidence of travel to stars or constellations.
There is the reference to appearing and disappearing act.
Here we got to thing in terms of other dimensions and parallel universe or solar system or niburu. Since these contacts have taken place at various intervals, there need to be a timeline of these worlds approaching with lifeforms. The remnants of which we seee as encounters.
As for intelligent human creation. There has to be outside intervention to bring about such drastic change in physiology and characteristics to serve a certain purpose, most probably as a work force commanded to complete tasks.

Contemplating
cacophony of thoughts
Silences noise
Liquid slices through
Dribbling without effort
stone in its path

The sound of one hand clapping on the right or left cheek , heard in the right or the left ear, reverberates through the body convulsing in spasms ensuring existence is void from that moment on and silence follows

few words exchange
147
Small girl in train
Plays with nippled bottle
In between sips
148
Fat lady cravings
Peels cashew, throws on floor
Eats and sleeps
149
Man with bag
Oblivious of ant crawl
Dozes ; off to work
150
Hanging on
Violent jerks of train
Daily routine
151
Verumoru satyam
Ambalapurayil
Katthunna vilakk
translation :
simple truth
inside the temple
a burning lamp
malayalam haiku from kerala
152
Kadala curry
choodu dosa kaathirikkunnu
Uppu kuravanu
translation :
chickpea curry
hot dosas await
salt is less
malayalam haiku from kerala
alternative :
maple syrup
hot pancakes await
less sweetness
153
Train delayed
Noise at railway station
No haiku in mind
154
Scorpio middle of road
Girls in really short skirts
Wet roads ahead
155
used to hate songs
of norah jones, now awesome
Lana del ray wow
156
soap and water,
muddles the window panes..
clears with plain water
157
fleeting memory,
those bygone days of love..
in the evening sun
158
when all is lost
and when no hope is in sight..
tv beckons thee
