Riding the waves of sorrow
Gliding through imagery
In pursuit of salvation
Flies a poet's imagination.
Bearing brunt of the legacy
Almighty's gift in inheritance
Absorbed is the hermit in a trance,
In poverty too keeping him cozy.
Omnipresence through inheritance,
Omnipotent command over words,
The lord in celestial kingdom
Trades dreams to humanism.
Long live the dream merchant
And his fountain of joy to us enchant.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Cursory glance of a wwilliwy dame
Pierced the heart and it did tame
Embodiment of valour and too brave,
A thunderous jolt to him it gave.
The chieftain ruled over the clan,
Bravery and prudence were the coins
Coveted by him alongwith celebacy,
Acquired from mentor, in legacy.
Service of humanity was his goal,
Strived for the same his inner soul.
Banished he had selfishness and greed.
In service of humanity joy he derived.
Gone with the wind were his resolves,
By her glance and a seductive Pause.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Not failure, low aim is crime
Big bangs too produce unique chime.
Blank can not a life,s canvas be
With ample strokes of pains n glee.
Youth may pass nurturing aspirations,
Intensifying in the run all the emotions.
Hard earned knowledge may come to rescue,
Compelling to accept disillusoned ash,s residue.
Joy n sorrow, elation n agonizing pain
In which He has soused life of human.
Birth n death, two definite destinations
Opposite though are their own Celebrations.
Life is worth living inspite of all such odds
For the human, loveliest incarnation of God.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
In nature's guise a deity,
May I call you Almighty?
Embodiment of benevolence,
At times cruelty,s essence.
You are no doubt great,
With forms though intricate,
Master of the universe
With incarnations diverse.
Enchanting your landscapes
Mountains n valleys picturesque.
Embodiment of celetial beauty
You do shatter our vanity.
Oh bountiful almighty
On human have some pity
Since you are the creator
As also their terminator.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Discovery of oil stocks in the middle east
During '70, had started beeline in the quest
Of unemployed job seekers towards Dubai
Scums of oil money then flowed in India n Mumbai.
Typists, carpenters, nurses and electricians,
Affording only cycles flew in aeroplanes.
Middle east had been their destiny n work place.
Hutment dwellers too nurtured dreams of palace.
Wealth n it,s swelling started to differentiate
India and Bharat, NRI and RI, it,s affiliates.
Money they remitted to families at home
Upliftment of clans was their cherished dream.
Less fortunate alas, who could not make it
Were the natives who were hardly hit.
Inflation had robbed their earnings at home,
Poorer they became in course of the game.
Riding on the waves of sorrow and mirth
Traverses life of human if the sail is smooth.
Hurricanes and tornados with mountainous tides
No doubt to it capsize n it,s doom they decide.
Every human being, being an unique boat
Sails in the ocean as destined since birth.
Joyeous may be the sail or may it be tumultous
Positive approach though can make it picturesque.
Thoughts, if negative make it a trawler
Dragging heaps of grief in it,s net.
Dumping sorrow needs expertize great
Inculcated that can be only by a preacher.
Smooth n meaningful sail of any boat
Ensures good teacher n his radiates.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Human life is as intricate as the mechanism in a living human body. While the working of his body is guided and supported by the specific activities under taken by the primary unitsof life- the body cells,located in different parts of his body, the life as a whole of an individual is guided and supported by his emotions and his reasoning power bestowed on him by the Almighty. He acts either under duress or under the guidance provided to him by either of the two, for safe guarding his interests or to satisfy his ego.
One has to go on studying for years together the anatomy to acquaint himself with the intricacies in human body and the functions performed by it's different organs. The research and experimentation by throusands of scientists, spread all over the world, for centuries together has given some inklings about it. However inspite of success achieved in clonning certain animals ,it has not beeen possible, so far to produce life artificially.
The success achieved in artificial insemination and giving birth to testtube babies as also surrogacy,however may be important mile-stones in that direction. Studies based on observations undertaken by philosophers , oriental as well as occidental,for centuries together have brought them on universally accepted inferences. They all stumbled, sooner or later, on a common factor inherent in human every where and that is the un predictable behaviour of the species.
It is not possible, (...)

Scattered on an elevation are the Konkani huts
Adjoining the beach in an elegant resort.
With its "Tarang" the beach restaurant
On a platter natural beauty the duo present.
The divine scenic beauty and its' hypnotism
Spellbounds a spectator n pushes him in bosom
Of the mother nature and he enters a trance
Sitting under umbrella facing ocean Arabian.
Blowing hot air on scorching summer noon
Humid atmosphere soaking in perspiration
Compel even the birds to find their shelter
Leaving solitary ocean with his tides to roar.
Solace could be found from sip through straw
When ambrosia from raw coconut you draw.
That can make you in scorching summer calm
Standing beneath meager shadow of a palm.
-Ratnakar D Mandlik
Man considers himself as a replica of the Almighty Creator- the God due to the enormous progress made by him in science and technologies, including genetics. He should never, however assume that he himself has become God or the lesser ones among human species should elevate any one from among them to that status. He should always remember that the creator has embedded six enemies like greed, lust envy, anger etc in him to prevent him from being His competitor. Thus, the mighty impose excesses on the less fortunate while the greed and selfishness of a few throws the lot of humanity in misery. Such contradictory things creates the "Rhythm of Life".
-Ratnakar D Mandlik
Standing in shallow water when it is low tide
Experience one can get there of a life time
When the receding water after a high tide
Washes away sand from beneath your feet.
The surfs hit you hard if to them you stop.
While receding they push you off balance
Pulling you all the while inside the ocean
Narrowing,thus,your life and deaths' gap.
The zig zag line of greenery of hilly terrain
Hiding the beach as also sage like ocean
Even from voyager who has set-in destination,
They guard Ganapatipule like a loyal janitor.
Enchanting is contrast presented by the canvas
Of the silty red soil encircling the beach.
As if they want some thing to us teach
With the green omnipresent floras' expanse.
Equallly breath taking is celestial confluence
Of the deep blue sea with the skyline azure
Where they mingle in union on the horizon
