Quench the thirst



Quench the thrust

Quench the thirst
Satisfy yourself first
Desire the last
But move very fast

No one may race behind
Only you have to find
What is right course!
Follow it with no curse

Hold any views
If they are natural and due
World is so vast to venture
As there lies future

No one may accompany
Yet you will have to carry many
That shall look simple task
But from where to start

Be the first to loose
Then comfortably chose
Life may offer sweetness
With so much of shine on the face

Wishes can travel any side
With many ups and down with divide
What do we stand to gain out of it
Let us think first and feel fit

What will I do for rest of the people?
Before I venture and invite the trouble?
Will that be considered as honest struggle/
I do not have an answer …………….

I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems.
