priya's paucity of paintins

 priya designs things, shes of the creative creed, 

yet did u know, shes capable of quite the dastardly deed..

she flitters around gardenin coriander on a balconee, and oft found merrying it up on many a jamboree .. with nary a dodiwala in sight..or 2 or threeee..

she plots and schemes and over-cleans, her little home on the HSR, while bun goes on catdates and lord jamie watches from afar...

meanwhile forlorn..arun waits at home for a hopeful art attack.. but priya smiles at her empty canvas and reaches for a snack..

good company and quietly pleased, she hangs around catlike all curled, all thoughts of painting a still blue thing has left her entire world...

moon maiden workin on tides , "go native" on speeddial, looks bonito n carefree, 

the rhymonster knows, he reaps what he sows,around this choudharee.. :)

greetings from de rhymonster! friend of mine.. didnt make me a painting yet.. nuff said.. 

how to be Vietnamese?

rice paper rolls and paddy fields,
banh mi's and banana trees...
helpful she's and cute he's!!
how to be a vietnamese???

red star on a green swathe,
majestic cliffs and tolerant faith,
honk less, smile more, help with ease,
how to be a Vietnamese???

hearts warmer than lovely lit lanterns,
stand strong ..amid troubles and  churns,
worship the protector n roast coffee..
the rhymonster sees a lil bit of vietnam in me!!


these verses had been etched in 2017 end..a bit late but nevertheless..

#ideaofromance

To the eternal sufferers of wedlock, the word brings up wry smiles,
To younger thin's of today and tmorro, a smile conjures the word.
The idea of romance may move people , crowds, towns nay countries,
Time to look past the statuses , hashtags and suss out wat's chalk n wat's cheese..

To a rhymer..whats more important? is what the rhyme tries to evoke..
For many a person what unites them is what's unwritten and unspoke.
Tis to live for a glance..a moment..nary a care in d whorl,
Serendipity u say or happenstance, when u see perfection, in every single curl.

Or would u.. daffodils n Meadows betwixt the morn n the naet,
Or on the crest of a rainy day, entwined in firelight,
While the notion tis appealing ,takes vain-men to a great summit,
The ride back down, did he break his crown?, is it ok or is the ego still hit?

Morra important tisto have wise counsel and a head atop your stalk,
Cause when cupid strikes, the arrows spike, common sense goes for a walk

Joining the commenting wayfarers n the gossip jousts , the rhymonspeare does decree..
The idea of romance, whether chance or by plans, makes for some good company!!



GREETINGS . RHYMONSPEARE!!

Contentment

For what do you want at the end of it? Money n rewards  will not do its bit.
Fame and recognition ..Would cause a temporary ripple..God and his minions can persuade a larger absence

But the fabric of time, folds and unravels without respite.What break you would require from your daily fight ?What questions you would ask of relationships ? What choices , what decisions to lead to this ?

Delayed actions deceive ..what path you are on.. And what lies ahead is what we want for now!..what about experiences ? How Will they help? What about chances taken and chances held ?

Content is when your pride  is on..content is when the need for the fight is gone..content is when the peace beckons..absent ambition or A prophecy of dawn...

Am I content or is it the way I am? For what I seek is where I stand ..the past is not for what we make amends..the rhymonster rises on despite the trends..

Procrastinate in Vain!!

Waiting, Stalling, Impatience,Unease..
minds aren't made for work without cease..
Direct your thoughts or focus your actions,
your brain will eventually fry or divide into factions!!

One side will invert, fight with yourself.
one will blame the world, trouble people for help.
one will be continuing on a path headed down.
no Cheshire cat this time..no queen..no crown!!

your heart will then interfere, to select right path clear,
whoever said patience is a virtue, never contended with fear,
For as your mind n heart tangle n fence..
the RHYMONSTER favours procrastination over pretense...





GREETINGS RHYMONSTER..
after a long time :)

a rhyme from my bro..

Go fatty, it's your birthday!

Well, well, well, So it is your birthday today eh fatso? Fifty Nine, Sixty, Seventy Five? How old ya are, I really don't know. Ever joking, eating, sipping coffee with that goofy smile on your face You have a perfect attitude regarding everything, even though you occupy too much of scooter seat space. You maybe a chelsea fan, i get it, everyone has their flaws, But the way you came up in life, surely deserves a lot of applause. There may be times when life gets tough and puts you in a choke-hold But we will double team it like the Rock(me,duh) and Rikishi(you) from the old.

You introduced me to everything, GI Joe to Linkin Park to football,In return for all that, this rhyme is waaay to small.

The cricket matches(which i always won), the wrestling bouts, the eat-outs and memories, so many more.With a brother like you, my life will never be a bore.

Here's hoping that the coming year is filled with in-swinging yorkers, the adventures you yearn for, great friends and a loving wife.A big inspriation and role-model, you are to me in life!

know this poem is silly and almost not worthy of being sent to the Rhymonster..but i guess it's the thought that counts eh? hhehehehe! Have a great birthday chubbs! Love ya bro!!

fireplace?

two years since the last post,            is there such a thing as a "virtual" ghost??

was the RHYMONSTER in indolent slumber?,   or is he just one lost soul in a number!!

logged on.. permanently n tight,               MS "outlook"s hooked,switched on..no respite..

wading thru life ON- defense,                           a lot more "adsense"..a lot less commonsense???

routine,rote,habit,turns the creature ..      into a expressionless feature...

the same intents,intense,                persisting never to converge into prevalance..

change beckons from every smile,        mundanely ignored,"spreadsheeted" n filed!! 

whats original ?what remains?...         is the facade put up!..hidden are the chains..

the open road/mysteries/paths lie n await .     time n existense.. overrides our fate!

time to chart a direction,time to break free!!    decisions we tend to OVER.."see"..

what lies ahead ..always fore- SOUGHT,    what wars are staged .. not overtly fought,

in the mind of the RHYMONSTER,       mayhem thrives anew, visible to all but a Few!!

Greetings RHYMONSTER..
guys and gals.. long time.. i like the mash up above.. fires up hard.. burns in slow!!

Static in the Mind

messin with your mind,what do you find?

are u here or are u left behind?

are u contemplating whims or woes?

holding on to someone mentally close??

happy in your mind,what causes u to rewind?

is everyone rude or are u kind?

are u involved in sins or are u therapeutic?

is this a good deed or is it sick??

saddening the mind,whats your bind?

is your life still clear? or is it stillborn and blind??

are u alive in the moment or contemplating an infinite drink?

its static in the mind making the RHYMONSTER sink........................

Greetings Rhymonster...SOD it!

TRUST BEGETS TRUST

Truly fortunate and thoughtful are we, because we have been taught by RAVI!
he keeps prescribing book after excellent book, tends to silence rowdy elements with one enigmatic look,
frequently he asks for complete silence, whatever be the bedlam or strange turn of events!!
if we can take and imbibe even 50%, then we would be better prepared for our ascent,
the customer too,would be in a better place, because we would have caught up to his pace!!
so in summation we would like to say thank you, to RAVI- our motivator,our guide,our friend True!!


GREETINGS RHYMONSTER This took me 10 mins and is a thank you note to one Mr.ravi Sundaram who is the head of mercuri goldmann india and who took a training session in Taj Lands end Last week.. needless to say he liked it.. though i feel i coulda done better ...ohkay!! oh and the title is a joke between us.. heh

FINICKY!!

friendship is where comfort helps meet understanding,

what the RHYMONSTER doesnt understand, is this new thing?

what happened to the times of taking a bullet for your pal?

why when your sanity is on strike,your barn becomes an empty corral!!

The RHYMONSTER has never personally been let down,

no ones yet been banished out of town,

thats cause the fine line between genius and insanity,

is exactly where RHYMONSTER and his friends tread with glee!!

friendship is where unquestioned loyalty meets a bit of magic,

but there is something immensly confounding and ironic,

when the world views whats platonic, as a parlour trick,

its a mislaid optimism that all singles will click!!

the RHYMONSTER sends a shoutout to all his friends once in a while,

some are pleased as punch that i made them smile,

some are the kinds who share a lot with just inane talk,

yet all of them know the RHYMONSTER is beside them when they WALK!!!!

GREETINGS RHYMONSTER...

this is for a special friend. :) its completely messed up and grammatically not the finished product but what the hell???

WE need YOU!!

We thank you, lord, for our time on this earth,
We thank you, for the air we breathe,
We are thankful for the beautiful surroundings,
We take for granted all our material things!

We take this opportunity to calm our selves,
We hope, you will guide us in our daily travels,
Help us, preserve the love around us,
By sharing it and receiving it with others!

Help me find myself by being me.
Help me, truly to reach thee!


Greetings RHYMONSTER..
THIS ONE was a SPECIAL request .. turned out nice eh?

back to the basics

returning after a long absence, time to check does the rhymonster have any sense?
time to reload,zone out,relax,unwind, will yourself to unlock a cluttered mind!
time's passing is visibly melodic every year, experiences touch you,good or bad's unclear,
new albums are released,new horizons made,new friends evaluated & old friends begin to fade!
life treats u exactly as u treat it,enjoy it every minute or watch it flit,
each day brings u better surprises, new routines,change things uve been doing since ur teens!
dream for what u need,whats special,the rhymonster has begun his "greeting card drivel".
"work is worship" so ive been told,but the pleasures of play are underestimated manifold,
n the chief thing the rhymonster lives for, is to watch each one of you smile MORE....!!!!!




greetings from the rhymonster.. wrote this on a johannesburg-mumbai flight... felt good then.. feel even better now... little rusty but i am back ..BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wahoooooooooo!!

meander

gridlock,ratrace,traffic jam,queue,..waiting is the eternal hue!
portents,horocope,destiny,fate,...everyone wants a specific date!
twitter,appraisal,world cup,IPL,...no ones waiting ,right NOW is swell!!
work,play,living,social space,..... no time to stop off and enjoy a leisurely pace!!!
mixed up,blended,quicksand,quagmire,...RHYMONSTER's mindset is now not on fire.
.....



Greetings from the rhymonster... long time since i last posted and mind is off and specifically this rhyme has meandered to a stop...so ill hold it there.....

SERENITY

a time to work, a time to play,
we wish we had more time in a day,
we work for power, we work for fun,
we're at it 24 hrs,no time for anyone!

have you ever just sat still,
felt the breeze ,impending winter's chill,
the darkeining of the sky before a thunderstorm,
bolts of chain lightning,where do they spring from?

the RHYMONSTER has found a place to wind down,
parked car,rolled up windows,forget the town!
pump up the aircon to 4,listen to dire strait's background score,
let the moment sink in,leave your worries outside the door!!

try to let your mind switch off,sing some lyrics,
the RHYMONSTER rarely lets anyone in on his tricks.
Breathe deeply,remember your closest friends,
call them now and try to make amends.

for all you nutters out there seeking a shrink,
RHYMONSTER recommends norah jones, sure to bring you back from the brink.....

GREETINGS RHYMONSTER
do try it.. sit in your car in neutral with the a/c and super music at the end of your day before you waltz into your house......its 5 mins of you time and simply relaxing.

For mothers day

Mother, the word itself is Holy Grail
Mother, you stood by me as I set sail,
Mother, my life is an open book,
Mother, I thank you for the steps you took.

Mom, you guided me thru dark and light,
Mom, you wished for my future to be bright,
Mom, I would not be here without you,
Mom, I love and respect you!

Ma, here’s wishing you a happy mothers’ day,
Ma, may your every dream be fulfilled, I pray,
Ma, today, as ever, you are wished everything you are due,
Ma, I take this chance to say- “I worship you”


greetings -
i penned these 12 lines for a friend's mom who i have never met. south africa apparently has a very important day in may for mother's day ....hmmm. makes me melancholy...

Comedy central

Ive run my eye across the type, just to see why everyones having a swipe,
at my last few posts,thier tune,theyre saying ive become very dark from june,
ive forgotten about biryani, ive become a big fat lannie,
i hardly post anymore,so everyones out to even the score.

im receiving fewer scraps thru orkut,as cyberspace has advanced ive stayed put,
im infernally slow in replying to mails, ive been jeered by a few fast moving snails,
my life has picked up a whirlwind pace,and yet im struggling to retain my place,
i know not day or night, to keep asleep i put up one hell of a fight..

the last para moved to darkness again, once more people will debate whether im sane,
looks of compassion will be thrown towards me,as people spot me and flee,
the RHYMONSTER has always been kind of -off in the head, But thats the very same reason he stays AHhhhhhhhhhEEEEEAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!


GREETINGS rhymonster.. LANNIE= rich guy (slang word used in south africa)
the rest is understandable me thinks

WHY?

Gazing out at the night sky,
one forlorn plastic bag i spy,
fluttering unheralded in a stiff gale,
against a sky, parts black,ochre and pale!

No destination,No horizon,No direction,No call,
the black vision that holds me enthralled,
is not having a purpose or a plot,
is this setting ethereal or a blot??

the wind brings promise of a new year's rain,
will peace be supreme or will anarchy reign again,
the new year's birth is cloaked by the darkness,
Revelry is naught! for the Rhymonster hates excess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GREETINGS RHYMONSTER
NOT SO FOND OF THE NEW YEAR BUT HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT EVERY YEAR ON THE EVE...

east london's beauty

why wicked wind wanders wherever it wants?

brown branches brave brutal breeze's taunts?

fragile flowers get flown far and frustrate..

bare earth below bears blooms in spate ..

things tan turn lavender till time tells us,

sights that seemed so superficial now startle u thus!

voices vying for visions vindicate my vice,

neighbours who knew green are now newly nice!

east london lies in a lovely little lie,

architecture archaic yet the Rhymonster thinks, its spry,

trees and breeze whip the jacaranda around,

peacefulness personified or paradise on ground??

GREETINGS RHYMONSTER

had been to east london that is on the coast of south africa. it was a beautiful place with whistling wind and ooopsss...let me stop the alliterations here (incidentally alliteration is the only grammer i remember from school. most of my english works on how it sounds when spoken...i wouldnt know a past participle from a present principal...errr whatever) old style construction and beautiful jacaranda trees that go completely lavender in the spring are a sight to behold..

game face

we keep ourselves at bay ,
at night you come out to play!
we wear a sham for one and all,
but at times you answer the wilderness' call!
we watch evil and good as shades of grey,
you have faith and make like u pray!
we try to hold back and keep the peace,
you march on out and just dont cease!
we look on out for the greater good,
you chastise us like you should!
we moderate and mediate,
you compensate and provoke hate!
does everyone have twin souls entwine(d),
one open and good,one hideous and supine,
for all to see ,the RHYMONSTER says,
drop your mask people,show your gameface.




GREETINGS RHYMONSTER...
when its this late at night you cant expect perfect sense can you? but for those who need a bit of light...the rhyme talks about competitiveness and your dark side...its a bit of both...even this poem is a bit of blackand white eh?? such is life..

coffee ..woof!!

what leads a person to coffee??
stimulus?? do u have to beat sleep with glee!!
is it a routine for your game??
toss 3 cups in and you are aflame!!

examine what it does signify??
to the youth, nowadays, it makes time fly.
to the elderly its a pickmeup born of habit,
to the coffee farmers its pure profit!!

to latent minds its the tonic,
to impressionable minds its iconic,
to addicts like the RHYMONSTER its fuel,
to try to avoid it is to invite a internal duel!!

its acidity is legendary for the uninitiated,
after a cold coffee they feel totally sated,
but alas that feeling is comically ill fated,
cause an hour later ,hunger beckons .."uve been baited"!!

to hold onto the cup,fast losing warmth,yet comfortable,
to feel less sugar and more strength in a cup,thats admirable.
cause it undergoes drying,roasting,powdering,pressure and temperature,just so!!
The RHYMONSTER does applaud every brewmaster and his ESPRESSO!!


GREETINGS RHYMONSTER
everyone knows my love for coffee.whether a 12 buck cup at annapoorna in coimbatore.or a glass of jaggery sweetened coffee at home in coimbatore.or a smashing cappucino at coffee day.or a gourmet coffee at MOCHA churchgate mumbai served black with a french press.I just LOOOVVE it!!!so this post was way overdue...it is kind of a simple rhyme though!!HMMM
