LIGHT AND SHADE 

The road of life is any thing but even; it is full of ruts and pits, ups and downs, besides being slushy, thorny, craggy, and sandy. And as such, the journey is bound to be irksome. But it is interspersed with oases and orchards lying though far apart, are ready to soothe the road weariness. Joys and sorrows; glamour and gloom do alternate, like day following night. When light dawns, one should not get elated too much to think it eternal; or think of ending Iife abruptly, when misfortunes besiege him from all sides. Life is akin to a wheel; its up invariable takes the elevated to down; which irrevocably lifts him high again. This scriptural truth, if understood, puts an end to any kind of side ....

Gloom-the period of incubation of grief, if past
Doom then tolls no more of its awful death-knell
Boom it provides anon for desire to bloom fast
Boon of bliss joins at once to keep up all well,

Blooms offer then their cups of honey
Plumes rise to broadcast your joy
Tombs could not conceal your glory
Wombs welcome your rebirth with joy

Mind you that state's neither static nor eternal 
Find you soon at the bottom by the wheel of Fortune 
Kind Providence created ups and downs ever even 
Binding to light and shade. So take both in mood similar.

If you dare question the Omnipotent, 'why this oat aka? '
Standing, He smiles and smiles, end smiles for ever
Mart it dear! it is also a cute pose in His jagannataka
Peace be thine, if indifference's shown to them for ever.
