"Are We Getting Old?"
(A dedication to our respected friend in Heaven: De Stella Puricelli)
A Scooter Was Wrooming
On the Wide Roads of Coimbatore
The accident took place
On 15.12.2018...
Two veterans flew up and fell...
My friends both...
Murali had fractures and external injuries...
Vetri the rider, was safe
After three months
Murali's face was glowing
Peace written all over I wrote back to him...
"Murali, your face is glowing... I too wanted to have an accident
If I can get a Glowing Peace...!!!"
After four years On a scooter
on 08-12-2022...
I had to kiss the ground
One hour and 10 minutes I have lost my senses
I didn't know Who I am...
My Wife called
"Where are you?"
I have just understood Who I Am
Sitting on
A side wall
With helmet on...
The lake behind me
Said Where I am
"I said, I am coming...!!!"
Our reflexes and evasive actions
Are falling behind
More than .25 seconds average...!!!
Like that of helpless goal keepers
Diving to the right or to the left...is... A chance taking as a compulsion...!!!
The ball reaches the goal post
In .16 seconds on a penalty strike
But in life...
It might turn out to be A blind corner or a fatal full stop...??!!
"Hence my bravehearts...
Few things on a platter...!!!"
Few things to follow...!!!
Listen to your body components which are murmuring...!! If you neglect... There is a chance of revolt... By the silent masses...!!! **
Breath healthy air...!!! Enjoy the inhaling Hold the air dearly in your lungs Exhale the dear air like that of a miser...!!! Breathing is an Art...!!! **
Sun is a blessing Everything in the world... Have some respect for the sun...!!! The Sunlight is available and aplenty Hence we are not attracted Dare your bare body to the sun And take his blessing For 15 minutes in a day...!!! **
Food intake is an interaction Enjoy the food...!!! Take time to chew and feel them...!!! Let the tastes have their say Listen and absorb them evenly Love your food Before you churn and enjoy...!!! Eating is an art, too...!!! **
Hurrying up... Rushing up is not necessary...!!! You are not going to catch The moon by jumping the line...!!! Have an attitude...!!! The moon in your hand Is not going to make you Any more comfortable either...!!! Be graceful with your actions... Rhythmic movements makes a dance Exercise is not rhythmic And hence you don't enjoy Make your work Like that of a rhythmic dance...!!! Dance is an Art, my friends...!!! **
Sprinting time had gone...!!! It is a marathon time... Consistent efforts... Are the need of the hour...!!! **
Patience is a very good doctor For yourself... And for our neighbors around... Wear the garland of patience Around your neck all the time It is the most charming Ornament and an attire You could easily afford **
Alcohol is a very dear one... Too many of my friends...!!! Each time he visits He parts with something From you all the time Apart from your money...!!! Sometimes he takes away Something from your home, too...!! Never allow him so much intimacy Knowhow is good enough a thing...!!! **
Never argue with... Your wife, friend or with a comrade... Especially with a stranger...!!! You cannot change Anyone's window of perceptions...!!! Can you remodel Their windows With that of your choices Air your views If it is well taken The benefits are home Sure... You too, must receive some airing... It is good for your bearings...!!! Arguments At an advanced life Is like a dare devil drive...!!! **
Go for a hunting...!!! You must go for it frequently...!!?!! Not with bows... And the arrows... Or with the guns, either...!!! "Good will hunting...!!!" You can have a meaningful life...!! When you die... Die with your head held high And be sure With a smile on your face...!!! These are written... For the Veteran horses... Not for the young guns... And the calves...!!! © ASOKAN ERULANDI India
