Our India...Our Games...

[ Written in the backdrop of Commonwealth Games 2010 held in India ]

In our city, in our nation
in our world
goes on our games.
Hundreds competitions,thousands players
millions audience
and one aim
'victory'

Here flows sportsmanship,
here grows brotherhood,
here are the shining faces
and the lusturous gold.

The pace that inspires
the will that fires the dignity that desires
and so does the excitement.

Oh! Is this fight for victory??
Is the matter winning & loosing?
No. Not at all.
This is worship of art.
Model for discipline,
the world of friendship and
map of competition

The CWG goes on

Prizes glow & the baton shines

Audience clap, nature dances.

Among them all

Here flourishes harmony

Know Me: Vikash Kumar

"Everything I know, I know because of love" That's Charles Dickens in War and Peace. I know things because of my experiences and imaginations. Life is a journey, from one point to another, from one corner to another, and meanwhile showing us the enigma and the beauty of various life forms, of forms without life and of abstract sensations. We get experience in this journey. And having got the power of words, we sync them in the rhythm of the events of our lives, and we create poems, poems which reflect what we have gone through what we feel and what we have become. Often these very poems also reflect what we want to achieve and what we ought to become. Plus our imaginative tendencies. Believe me readers, all of us have this poet hidden in us. I, Vikash Kumar, am just one among you. Giving conveyable words to my poems. Born and brought up in a small village in East Champaran district of Bihar, having done engineering from one of very pr...

Day 58: 15.05.2023: Drifting away?

12 days, 4 cities, 2 marriages, multiple relative’s places, lots of travel, and so on. All these of course had a toll. However, I had imagined worse. When I returned to Delhi on 10th May, I weighed 83.95 against 84.70 on 25th April. Happy because despite everything (and similar weighing – after 3 glasses of water in the morning) I weighed lesser than before. Today, I weighed 83.30 which is exactly 2.0 Kg away from the target case line. So the journey so far got a drifted curve than projected. Is it possible to catch up? Whatever the answer is, I won’t recommend it to myself. One because I’m very much aware that the existing diet itself isn’t on the healthy side. Two, I’m also aware that having already shedded 7kgs the shedding is going to be naturally slower going forward. My Excel table currently ends on the 120th day, thus the projection in the Target-72 case ends at 74. There is a probability that I’ll stay on the 10% cheats line which ends at 72.76. And I’m fine with it. Hey, by th...

Happy, because I feel it

I cried at the mountain peak I smiled at the ocean bottom I wept on the horizons I laughed in the storms For happiness was where I felt it And I was sad where I was sad Achieving what I desired Didn't make me happy For when I got what I wanted I wanted something else Something more, something different I cried for it I craved for it But often I laughed At some small little achievements I danced, I shouted Feeling a fulfillment at heart For something I didn't even dream But got that by a chance Didn't even plan to celebrate But celebrated with happiness For I was happy, because I felt it And I had cried because I had cried Who knows where the life will take to What the destiny is But I imagine, I plan, I work I fail, I succeed I smile, I laugh A small little smile For the failures A big laugh For the gains Sometimes I cry laughing Sometimes I laugh crying And the journey goes on With some tears With some smiles
