Wake up and smell the coffee



You kept on cutting trees and
MOTHER NATURE didn't scream
but now she is crying. Oh Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.

cut trees
The Human Toll of Cutting Down Trees

You kept on dumping waste in the ocean
and she didn't object it
but now she is shouting. Oh Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.
Ocean Dump
Mumbai beach turns garbage dump


You kept on killing animals
and she didn't even hitch
but now she is screeching. Oh Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.
Humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction'
Humans 'threaten 1m species with extinction'

You kept on polluting the air
and she didn't even cough
but now she isn't breathing. Oh Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.
Air Pollution
Harmful Effects of Air Pollution

You kept on degrading soil
and she didn't even itch
but now she is scratching. Oh Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.


If you keep on doing it,
there shall come the day when
you won't have water to drink,
you won't have air to breathe,
you won't have food to eat,
you won't have ground to stand.
Still, there's a time. Oh, Human,
wake up and smell the coffee.

Silence Speaks

I came home with an extra pencil and eraser today, he picked me up, my dad, and put a hand on the left cheek and rubbed gently. It’s not good to take other’s thing, give it back tomorrow, he said with a loving smile. He pulled me closer, you shouldn’t do that again, he said and kissed. I was five years old. Who was I to listen to him? I was eating chocolate, looking here and there, hoping no one was watching me. How was the chocolate? He asked when I came home. Colours of happiness on my face replaced with a blank expression. He didn’t ask how I got the chocolate. He probably knew I must have stolen it from somewhere, from someone. He got angry, he wanted to slap but my mom couldn’t let him do so. I was just seven years old. He threw a few words in anger. I got more homework and no dinner. But who was I to listen to him? I was playing cricket with friends on the street. My father came from the office, watched us play for some time. He smiled and taught me the right way to d

Sshhh!!! Listen to The Silence!!!

“Nothing is impossible because impossible says I’m possible.” I heard this quote from my brother, and after that, I started thinking that, “How we can say impossible is possible? Because we can’t say silence is sound...” in some of those days, I preferred to be silent during arguments, while gossiping, when someone is talking, when the house is empty. My silence was making a   tone   of sense. I started believing that silence doesn’t make you inactive, it would be glorious if you could listen the sound of the silence. You can listen to silence and learn from it. It   has quality   and dimensions   all of its own. One of my memories that I would like to share with you, in my high school days, I was such a mischievous boy. I had made a big mischief. Like   an every   Principal, our school Principal also called my father. I was in front of my dad, worried and thinking   about   what he would say. But what happened? He didn’t say even a single word; he just gazed at me for a minute

My Guardian Angels

When your sisters leave the home, your home isn't the home. It's just a house... What brothers feel when sisters leave home after marriage... My two sisters got married a weak ago and this poem is dedicated to them. I don’t know you, who are you? I was wondering in the crib. you were taking care of me but you were also small, maybe five years? Wooo, you took me out of the crib for the first time, I hoped you wouldn’t drop me; your hands were too small to lift me. Waaa, Whaaa, I was crying as you dropped me. I’ll take revenge, I thought though I was too small to think. I started sleeping outside crib finally. I was able to know People around me now. I got to know you are my sister. We fought to have that single chocolate but at the end, you sacrificed everything to see the smile on my face. I remember my first day in the school, I cried to go to mom But you pampered me just like another mother from the God above On the day
