The Hard Nut of Life

Welcome to my blog.

You will find issues and contents that are amusing, entertaining, educating and interesting on this blog. One of my hobbies is to express myself in poetic forms. I love poetry. Poets are like philosophers. In fact, they are. Through the poets golden lines, at times it peeps into the future and such poems become golden prophecy of the renowned sages.

Enjoy below one of my old poems. Actually, I wrote it on September 21st, 1987. It was titled 'The Hard Nut of Life'. When i was in the jungle, things were tough, tight, and the future looked bleak. Amidst the uncertainties lies a ray of hope, and a light amidst the darkness of life. When things look as if there is no hope for you, just relax. You have a purpose in life. You are created for a purpose and if you remain focused, determined, hopeful, courageous and unrelenting, your breakthrough is just around the corner.

THE HARD NUT OF LIFE 

The hard nut,
Uneasy to crack;
But with forceful force,
Jack aside like Jackal,
Sweeteens the resultant effect.


The teeming millions,
Pitying the hard nut cracker
For physical exertion over the seeds,
Why need so much labour?
For life after had metamorphorsed.


The scanty well-to-do,
Pitying the hard nut cracker
For physical exertion over the seed,
And the wastage of unused brain,
For life after his ambition had metamorphorsed.


The hard nut cracker,
Thanking his star for everything,
For both the odds and the evens;
For he had learnt some practical lessons,
Of life's vissisitudes.


The approaching tomorrow;
Beckoning him to approach,
Beckoning with smiles and confidence,
Of  positivity in nature;
For the combined pity of the teeming 
Millions and the scanty well-to-do.
