Lose yourself in Harvinder Kaur’s poetry. (Collection 1)

Speaking from several experiences as a fighter pilot, I feel even on the ground, in normal life, when you get into a situation that demands calmness and you panic! Tell yourself…  “Do Not Panic.” When in distress this is the very first thought that should emerge from your brain. To you. So, go ahead…and train [...]

round earthSome reason has to be,
For the earth to be round
So Life is never straight,
Always comes and goes around.

Her mellifluous voice served me better

Than all alarm clocks put together

As I woke up, each morning,

To the melodious tune of the cuckoo bird

Here’s the third collection of Harvinder Kaur’s poetry.

All said and done, as we tread and trudge on, on the path of life, we need to follow too. To Follow: Training, Rituals, Rights, Maps, Diagrams, Advice, Instructions, Trends, Rules, Policies, Procedures, Instincts, Music, and now also, one of the very latest of them all… trends, Twitter, etc. As we learn to follow, we [...]

I sigh when I read this book by John O’Donohue. About every three paragraphs I close my eyes and shake my head in awe, as if to say to the gods of philosophy and poetry, “Thank you for this man”! This is a diamond blessing of a book that has become one of my favourite [...]

I had a talk with life last night It told me about itself, and of its might. I found that it had achieved nothing with ease, And behind the velvetiness lay many a crease. I saw numerous craftily washed wounds and stains, Of cruelty, misunderstanding and worry, they were remains. But life is clever, it [...]

When the words seem frozen, And the opportunities seem chosen, The melodies from life seem stolen, And the morality of people seems fallen…. But when I look into your eyes Dear I see the world is still Shining. When the compassion in people seems dried, And their judgments seem all tried. When the lips of [...]

Thanks for giving me joys and smiles, Thanks for being with me through hard times, Believe me! You are everything to me; Me, my heaven and my smiles! I can’t imagine a life without you! My life’s rainbow is pale without you You are my strength, my wings, my air! This little bird is flying [...]

Having come thus far at fifty. I leave a door to the future… ajar, Feeling kind of… drifty, thrifty and nifty. Wondering pondering, from here to where? Do I dare? Or do I care to go, where I care, with care. Minus the natural dare. Alone and not as a pair! Here, there, everywhere. Life’s [...]

When birds sang and the moon shone, And flowers grew upon the thorn; The moment when stars smiled Then surely I was born!   When people are smiling and sun is shining, And silver streams can dive; The moments when roses are dancing Then surely I am alive!   When clouds will weep and forest [...]

THE WALK I looked all around me, there was no one? I was alone within the four walls. From deep within, this voice cried out – Go out into the open, you will feel better. So, I went out for a walk – Amidst the trees I walked and heard the whispers of the wind, [...]

As I got ready to get to work, just the other day I noticed that my shoes needed a good shine. I wanted to shoe shine them myself but for some reason, dropped the idea and decided to indulge in the luxury of getting them done by a cobbler. Out I walked and decided to [...]

God helps those who help themselves. But How? To reach God: you need to communicate with him. To communicate, you need to pray as you don’t get to him by any other way. A prayer bereft of feelings of Love is like…a lake without water. Love flourishes when it is propagated with humility. Humility nourishes [...]
