something to look at

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-91 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY From this side I am stretching my hands, from that side, you come forward, give me your hand, we will walk hand in hand on the path of peace and prosperity and rewrite the history of mankind. Neither you know me, nor I know you, why so much of hatred and jealousy in between. Nothing is common between you and me, except we share the same feelings to flower and flourish and live a beautiful life in peace and amity. I am opening my heart, you open yours, only a single heart beating for the sake of humanity and the victory of love and life, nothing in between you and me except our make belief man-made identity. Open your eyes, I am opening mine. Look at history, written in the blood of fallen martyrs, the battles and wars fought over the years to satisfy a few, their ego, greed and vanity. Let us open the closed window to look at each other  and see the sad panorama of human woes and listen to the poignant tales ...

A LOOK AT LIFE-17 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I do not know who are they Who brought me to this world and left me all alone to fight a lone battle under the scorching heat of the sun and pears of the shower I do not know What a mother is and a father all about. I am far away from the touch of human relationships, the lovely bondage of family and all those that make life a beauty on earth Sometimes l look at them, their fascinating world, lovely gadgets and the ocean of love that bathes them every now and then. I see how carefree and jubilant they are, completely lost in the perennial stream of love and delicate care, dreaming  all the way for a still better tomorrow to come by. I never envy, nor do I regret the lost childhood, father's shadow and mother's lap. All do I need and fancy a bit of your love, a bit of your affection and a bit of everything you have for kids of your own, to grow and develop and make life more bearable On th...

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-16 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Non like you, none can be. You are so different and special, in you, I breathe my life, in you, I will live my death. You are not what you think you are, you are your forefathers reincarnated to carry forward the legacy for which they lived and died. Where ever you go whatever you do feel that they are with you. Hate none, see the object of your love in everything and every being, speak the language of love, share others happiness, be in the moment of their sorrow. In love, there is no jealousy no negative emotions, love and love only. Love fills and completes a man, there lies the fulfilment of life, tribute to your predecessors. Be good, do good to others, never be the cause of any one's grief, anger and jealousy. Carry your self, help those who can not, then only you will understand life its meaning and beauty. Give, never expect anything in reciprocation, love without a condition, breat...

A LOOK AT LIFE - 44 BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Love leads one to devotion, devotion makes one surrender, and surrender leads to enlightenment. The more devoted one is, the more successful he is both in the material life and spiritual pursuit. A devoted soul remains within the world but above it doing all  the  roles working  as a caretaker at the behest of his master having no responsibility to shoulder, no worries whatsoever Unflinching devotion leads to knowledge, when one completely identifies oneself with the object of his love and there remains no difference between him and the object of his love and becomes completely one with it Love, surrender and devotion cannot be with many, it is always with one, with the object of love one identifies, lives and dies and love, lover and the object of love become one and the same in the end copyright@smrutiranjan20.7.2017

A LOOK AT LIFE-16 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The man on the street I look at him He looks at me The eyes meet the eyes But never the heart l barely think about the man, seemingly insignificant and completely lost in his own world which is so different from that of ours He seems to have discarded the values of the larger society, so dear to each and every one and has his own likes and dislikes that has nothing to do with the whims and caprices of modern man I am in a cell. What I learned over the years and the way I was groomed prohibits me to treat the man as a man, the values I inculcated and Lovingly nurtured come in the way When I retire from my ignoble strife with very little life in me, my tired eyes again meet his, lively and fresh. I laugh at him, he laughs with me, I do not know whose laugh is true and genuine copyright@smruti ranjan 26.7 2015

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-90 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY A woman I am, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife and beloved. In all my roles I complement and fulfil the men in my life. I make them full and complete. On my love and sacrifice, they stand, on my feet, they walk  the thorny path of life but look at the world through a pair of jaundiced eyes. Without me, they are just aimless ships sailing in the boisterous sea. I am the able navigator who brings them safely ashore,  but they forget it the moment  they come back to their comfort zone. I am the life in them, that carries them forward to their destination. It is the woman behind every man, her unconditional love and motivation that precisely define a man, his success and failure, but never his attitudes and behaviours and the way they look at woman. I have been with you like your shadow living and enduring your moments of joy and despair,  happiness and sorrow, never thinking for a moment i ...
