 MY MOTHER-6


Is it so easy to change habits

Which have been part of you and your life 

Is it possible  to get the heart out of you

While still alive? 

But I am alive though my heart had been

burnt long since 


For years I used to ring you twice

After reaching home and

Before leaving for office 

Whenever I was late,  

I always got your call

There has been no deviation

For the last seventeen years 

But I am waiting for your ring 

Since that night

But no ring from your side

Have you forgotten me? 

Don't you know

How horrible I feel 

When I do not get you over the phone? 

I am sorry my mother

There has been no ring from my side either 


There have been thundershowers

Since you left

I know how horrible you felt

When I was outside

During sun, rain and wind

You used to ask each and everyone including me

To know every bit of me and my safety 

I know how restless you were

Till I was safely home


Always been by my side

In my sorrow and happiness

None like you, none can be

You know no one can be like you

Never leave me in my hours of distress

Be with me as before here and hereafter 

Since time immemorial you have been 

My mother, I am your erring son

Nothing can define me better.

The soul of my soul 

Lead me from my heart

Where always you are my divine mother

REVIEW OF MY POEM A LOOK AT LIFE-9

Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, an eminent poet and literary critic for writing a beautiful critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-9'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful review Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-9" is a poem of spiritually attuned nature bringing forth to us a transcendentalist transformative ideology of life, we human beings do have to pursue in our day to day life. The lives we lead in this world are not meant to simply while away rather we need to ponder over their meanings in a substantial and enormous manner. Sometimes, we must be self-introspective and self-retrospective in terms of our lives, we also need to turn to the path of spirituality to understand the mysteries connected with this world. We must not have the notion that this life on this earth is the end of it rather we have to consider it as a platform to reach the perfect abode that is charted out for us there in heaven. This l...

A Critical Appreciation of My Poem A Look At life-43

Here is the review and critical appreciation of my poem A LOOK AT LIFE-43 by non-other than eminent poet and literary critic of international repute  Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil. Thanks and gratitude sir. I am greatly honoured Dear Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-43" is a poem that combines philosophy, theology, science and psychology in equal measure. Life is an interminable circle passing from one state of being to another state of being, it doesn't have an end unless and until it is reunited with the fundamental point of origin. The world came forth from that inexhaustible arena and it would revert back to it as such in the course of time. Here on this earth life is an unending journey, the destination is not clearly marked at in any stretch of the imagination, the things that we come across in this world are transitory and fleeting in nature and nothing is a permanent feature of life. The structures and wonders of the world are subjected to change onc...

A LOOK AT LIFE-146

 A LOOK AT LiFE-46 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY In that The stone-carved image of yours My whole world. In your temple my holy abode, At your lotus feet my whole life My identity, my possession. My past present and future Is you my maa Comes to mind that day When I was on my way, You dragged me near Looked at me with loving eyes. The infinite became finite And the mother listened to her child, The child went on asking and The mother looking at him with a smile Days went by A feeling deep and intense came I am not alone How can I be? When you are with me. Wherever I go whatever I do I always feel you by my side What to think about me, my life My happiness which are all yours When I look at you I feel you deep inside, My feelings turn into adoration Adoration into love. The more I love you The more I feel alienated From me and my mundane world Lose my identity and Become one with you copyright@smrutiranjan 19.10.2017
