Self Control- "Even the best man stray"!

Self control is an oddly treacherous thing. The instant you think you have mastered it, it deserts you, suddenly and without warning!



He promised never to betray
suppressing the idea in a bray
failing in letting it go away
even the best man stray!

Is he the obvious candidate of adultry
Succumbing to the world's mockery
deafening himself to HIS advisory
resting in his own aery

Drawn in a battle array
Why do you affray
burning the sole in ashtray
even best man stray!

Evolution, Nature..call it what you will! It's an evolutionary necessity--not for the male alone--but for the human species.

We celebrate the birth of a child.. my child! my child!!
Gibran says it's Life yearning for itself.
I agree. You don't??

I like the poem, but the reasoning seems to be slighly shaky: as if the straying male is only 2nd best..!

It's Evolution! Survival of the species 'homo sapien'.

We celebrate the birth of a child: my child! My child!

It's Life--as Khalil Gibran says-- yearning for Itself.

I agree! You don't??

Dedicated to my Work Anniversary (13th Feb)

To my lovely readers,  I wanna stop by at your screen on eve of Galentine's day. Let me keep it short, hope you like my KISS ( k eeping I t S hort and S weet). Here I am, sharing TLDR version of my last year experience on first work anniversary at new work place.  Started with new hopes, never looked back, learnt a lot, met brilliant minds,  understood how good company culture can grow your personality and keeps you on toes.  A company which values DEI principles at high scale, gave me template to introduce myself which asked my pronoun. While I planned to jot down my thoughts,  I came across a comedian which emphasized every Indian parent will want their daughter to be 'SHE' and son to be 'HE', never dare to think beyond that. This company is one where I came across 'They' pronoun :) This company enriched my vocab with corporate lingo. For lack of vocab or more of knowledge, at times, I like to open can of worms, unpacking the details, to enhance my story t

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. when the road you're trudging, seems all up hill. When funds are low, and debts are high, and u want to smile, but u have to sigh. when care is pressing, you down a bit, rest if u must.... but don't u quit. Life is strange, with its twists and turns, as everyone of us, sometimes learns. And many a failure, turns about, when he might have won, had he stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems low, you may succeed, with another blow. p.s: visit http://www.thedontquitpoem.com/
