23. SEEKING SOLACE
When I felt that the pace of life was overwhelmingly hectic; I sought solace in the blissful backdrop of the mystical valley,
When I felt that my legs were indefatigably tired; I sought solace in the king poster bed; tucking them cozily under the frilled mattress,
When I felt that each bone impregnated in my body hurt like a thousand corpses; I sought solace in the rejuvenating pool of herbal liquid,
When I felt that my tongue had lost all sensation of taste and aroma; I sought solace in a bunch of stupendously seductive grapes dangling in the dense forests,
When I felt that my scalp was being attacked by infinite battalions of red ant and termite; I sought solace under the waterfall of medicated shampoo; to wholesomely annihilate the last scrap of dirt from its very roots,
When I felt that my fingers simply refrained to write; I sought solace in clouds of soft and impeccable cotton; gently caressing each strand and thereby giving maximum ecstasy to my starved flesh,
When I felt that my brain had lost all its ability to perceive; monotonously trapped in the disparaging issues of the commercial world; I sought solace in a stream of red wine; gulping down the ravishing elixir; to stimulate my dead cells enjoying immortal sleep,
When I felt that my feet had gone horrendously numb; transforming into mammoth slabs of frozen ice; I sought solace infront of the crackling fire; imparting my soles the revitalization to leap in animated exultation and gallop,
When I felt that I was getting insanely bored; with pangs of uncanny frustration creeping up slowly into my soul; I sought solace on the boisterous floor of the vivacious disco; swinging my body to a billion beats of pulsating music,
When I felt that the sweltering rays of Sun were piercing with pungent hostility into my skin; I sought solace in the dainty interiors of my timid and little hut,
When I felt that the storm of hunger was brewing up incorrigibly in my stomach; I sought solace in shimmering plates inundated with appetizing morsels of pure curd and steaming rice,
When I felt that the stillness of atmosphere was severely taking its toll on my senses; I sought solace with the melodiously whistling bird,
When I felt that my hear beat was on the verge of extinction; the throbbing which was once prolifically violent in my chest; now not heard at all; I sought solace in the arms of my beloved; feeling her breath trigger off my smothering passions once again,
When I felt that the rotten stench of obnoxious vehicle smoke virtually strangulating the last ounce of air suspended in my lungs; I sought solace in a garden of fragrant lotus; with the tingling odor adding a smile perpetually to my face,
When I felt that planet earth had become too claustrophobic to exist; with every single space jammed by hordes of people and machinery; I sought solace in the dark dungeons; where the slithering serpent captivated me wholesomely with its charm and dance,
When I felt that the dust from the deserts was irascibly irritating my eyes; I sought solace in the heart of the ocean; where the frothy foam and fish entrenched me with insurmountable exhilaration,
When I felt that scores of stinging mosquitoes from the city perilously intruded upon and spoilt my every night; I sought solace on the top of the mountain; where the air was; pristine and fresh, and where I was in talking distance with the stars,
When I felt that the darkness of the satanic night was casting its evil spell upon me from all sides; I sought solace in the invincible lap of my mother,
And when I felt that my faith
in mankind was gradually dwindling; with an insatiable urge to flee this
Universe forever burning high and handsome in my persona every second; I sought
solace in front of the reator; kneeling in submissive stupor on his feet; to
experience the rays of encouragement; the omnipotent power to survive.
24. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO PRAY
Even if you didn’t remember to wash your body early in the morning; slept cozily in your bed even after the Sun brilliantly crept up in the sky,
Even if you didn’t behave nicely with your wife; castigating her incessantly for her scores of inadvertent failures,
Even if you didn’t speak eloquently with your boss; howling at him a volley of horrendous abuse; giving a taste of his own medicine,
Even if you didn’t drive your vehicle to synchronized speed limits; swerving it like a wild panther let loose from the tyranny of the jungles,
Even if you didn’t sort your food meticulously with an array of shimmering spoons and forks; savagely tore through the chunks of fruit with untamed passion,
Even if you didn’t say "hello" every time you received a phone; barked a thunderous expletive; before eventually slamming down the receiver,
Even if you didn’t wear clothes to cover your skin; ran stark naked on the streets; loudly proclaiming to the world that you were unrestricted and wholesomely free,
Even if you didn’t study for the examinations; engrossed yourself thoroughly in earning money through a series of nefarious means instead,
Even if you didn’t write or speak a single word in the entire day; pretended yourself to be the greatest; expecting people to perceive your every demand; by simply looking into your emphatic eyes,
Even if you didn’t budge an inch after the disastrous earthquake struck the entire nation; remained as stoical as ice to the inexplicable suffering happening all around,
Even if you didn’t switch on the lights of your house as the last rays of day had entirely faded away; incorrigibly resolved to remain in perennial darkness and gloom; spreading the same as far and wide as you could,
Even if you didn’t drink water every time you felt thirsty; instead pacified the scorching chords of your throat with oligarchic wine,
Even if you didn’t respect your elders; treated small children in your neighborhood with profound hostility,
Even if you didn’t pay your bills for the month; remained sunk in your own world of voluptuous fantasy all day and night,
Even if you didn’t eat pure vegetarian food to appease your famished bowels; annihilated innocent animals instead to add taste to your lackluster tongue,
Even if you didn’t sit peacefully at one place for dedicated long hours; fidgeted about beating the bush with your impetuous palms instead,
Even if you didn’t adhere to each of your promises; betrayed the person whom you loved; not being able to accept the increasing pressures of mankind,
Even if you didn’t admire the enchanting melody of the singing birds; profusely patronized the voice of the hideous vultures instead,
And even if you lead life unconventionally; metamorphosing each blissful moment into veritable hell; acting upon your fancy whims and eccentricities,
Please don’t forget to pray to God; worship him in whatever form you had the prowess to conceive him,
For let me tell you; that you might be considering yourself very unique; self made persons having the supreme ability to implement each of your liquid thoughts into action; but without his blessings you were all simply broken strands of matchsticks orphaned on the ground; and before the last flame on your body dies a ghastly death;
C'mon get down on your
heels; and fold your hands in front of the Creator.

And the best way to pay
him back for giving me life; charting my destiny to be not less than a hundred
years; was to diligently serve all the afflicted; infact serve to the most optimum
of my ability; all mankind.
26. ABSOLUTELY USELESS
To quench a scorched travelers thirst; all that was required was a tiny well with sparkling water,
The entire ocean with its
boundless number of volcanic waves; the infinite assemblage of salty liquid
proved to be absolutely useless.
To appease a famished beggars hunger; all that was required was the minuscule little cluster of appetizing cherries,
The entire tree with its
innumerable branches; the tons of green foliage protruding out in surplus
abundance from towering heights; proved to be absolutely useless.
To construct an impoverished man's
