One of my favourite hobbies is to pen emotions and inspirations in form of sonnet. In best as well as worst of times, there is one source of inspiration and moderation that will always be with us - the power deep within us, to be forward looking, progressive and prepare for the next day ahead. The sine-curve of nature - the ups and downs - will always follow you but these words of deep insight, will always give you company and strength. If these sonnets help inspire another soul out there, I would have earned my satisfaction and fulfilment. 🙏
1 Ode to a soldier.pdf1. Ode to a Soldier (1995)
My very first one, penned for a dear childhood friend and an Army Officer - something I always aspired for, but could not be one. Air Force instead, was to be my destiny. 😊1. Ode to a Soldier (1995)
5. Tempest.pdf2. Tempest (1995)
Deeply inspired by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's life, almost every aspect of his deeply relatable to culture, upbringing and principles that I behold. Inspired by one such moment. ॐ2. Tempest (1995)
6. Dark Ages.pdf3. Dark Ages (1995)
Penned on my soul searching trip to Hyderabad, having an awe inspiring statue of Buddha in Hussain Sagar lake - a striking contrast in darkness, for someone who enlightened the world. 🌹3. Dark Ages (1995)
3. Ode to a friend.pdf4. Ode to a friend (1996)
Few understand the mixed emotions of starting an early career. Looking back, it sounds strange celebrating a friends silver jubilee - buddies of over 7 years in Air Force; brother in arms ! 🎈4. Ode to a friend (1996)
4. Good Old Calcutta.pdf5. Good old Calcutta (1996)
For all the hustle, bustle and chaos, Calcutta is a deeply impressionable city with its mix of culture, devotion, majestic landmarks and ever prevailing old world charm, an apt ode ! ✨5. Good old Calcutta (1996)
2.Bliss.pdf6. Bliss (1996)
Penned for another dear friend - a close buddy during Air Force days in the frontline, traversing together through highs and lows, he just happened to be the first one to enter the matrimony. 💕6. Bliss (1996)
12. Flying with Angel.pdf7. Flying with Angel (1996)
I am a born pilot - just a twist of fate and I never got my wings. Like a dreamy eyed boy sitting behind his dad in a car, often dream flying one of those majestic birds some day... maybe ! 🚀7. Flying with Angel (1996)
7. The Belle Charming.pdf8. The Belle Charming (1997)
The tea gardens of North Bengal are a majestic sight - an experience quite unique amidst miles and miles of undisturbed nature, evoking mix of mysticism, romance and awe 💕8. The Belle Charming (1997)
8. Enigma.pdf9. Enigma (1997)
If men are from Mars and women from Venus, who exactly stays on the planet Earth ?! Penned as a tribute to the mysticism that the relation of the two evokes, to the unravelled mysteries 👱♂️👸9. Enigma (1997)
10. What shall I do.pdf10. What shall I do? (1997)
Deeply inspired by spirituality and religion, it does not take too long to realize that philosophy behind holy scriptures is consistent in encouraging endeavour in all form, irrespective of results. 👼10. What shall I do? (1997)
11. A Drop of Happiness.pdf11. A drop of happiness (1997)
Modern world has burried one of the strong emotional bonding medium - the mail (not email !); the earnestness and anticipated waiting is worth every word read in gold... miss them ✉📬11. A drop of happiness (1997)
13. Will to Survive.pdf12. Will to survive (1997)
My fastest written sonnet from inspiration to pen. The power of nature is stark contrast to the gentle shoot through a crack, nature is, and will always be supremely inspiring in all forms 🍀🌳12. Will to survive (1997)
14. Father Figure.pdf13. Father figure (1997)
A soft moment enroute back from a frontline exercise. The vocal world on women's pain will never understand the anxiety of a father on daughter leaving the nest; whoever said world is fair? 💕13. Father figure (1997)
15. Fatal Attraction.pdf14. Fatal attraction (1998)
Nature presents the perfect balance - the food chain, the natural balance, seasons, evolution and all. What is death for one is food for other, win for one loss for other; mysterious universe 🪐🌍14. Fatal attraction (1998)
16. Light Truth.pdf15. Light truth (1998)
Ironically - many fail to appreciate the haves, yearning instead for not-haves. Karma catches on quickly, giving a bitter taste of not having, to start appreciating! Question - why wait for Karma ? 😛15. Light truth (1998)
17. Falling in Love.pdf16. Falling in love (1999)
A spiritually enlightening answer to the perennial question, why love is associated with the negative connotation of 'falling'. Is there really something better - such as rising in love ?! #Think 💕16. Falling in love (1999)
18. The Wretched Urchin.pdf17. The wreched urchin (2007)
For the rest of us blessed with abundance, it is hard to imaginge the emotions and pains of the lesser fortunate. Sacrifice is plausible for the haves; what do the not-haves sacrifice?#Think 😔17. The wreched urchin (2007)
19. Thanks Giving.pdf18. Thanks Giving (2017)
Penned this a decade after my last one !! World has become so much more complex, volatile and unpredictable, we need every ounce of inspiration we can, even if by being overoptimistic 😉18. Thanks Giving (2017)
