How you deal with SHIT, defines you!

Shit happens in life, shit will happen in life.
It is something which is natural, and affects everything alive.
Similarly in sanitation, it’s important how we deal with shit.
The sanity in our heads, describes the behavior towards everyone else.
Running away from shit depicts your attitude- defecating in the open shows the careless and ignorant you.
Not dealing with your shit, you leave for others to suffer. Your stinking shit will haunt and make everyone suffer.
Just taking out it from body is not the only thing, you have to ensure that your problems are addressed and not do not affect the environment.

Life will give you challenges; you have to deal with them. You can’t throw your problems on others and hide away from them.
Similarly when you shit it is your issue, you can either be a  coward and hide or a warrior who fights - Disposing it safely marks your careful attitude, depicting the sense which withholds a conscientious soul.



These lines are influenced by my tenure in Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, where I presently work. I am assisting in the program Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin ( Clean India- rural) where we are trying to address the issue of Open Defecation. It is here that I felt that shitting out in the open is like facing any problem in life. Like one has to deal with problems, similarly one has to deal with one's own shit.

The Precious One

Not an obsession, not madness, it is just a submission of feeling so pure. Indulging in your thoughts brings solace to my tired soul. It’s strange how the distance never mattered, and somehow I managed to keep you forever in my soul. I failed to comprehend my feelings.  Impressions of you, in my head, never change. With a binding permission I look forward for conversations, even though I know  even though I know there is no where we will ever go. A distant dream, I have always cherished, nurturing your thoughts, I would always want to be there (for you). I can’t name the feelings that I have for you. You are a person who has secured a position in my heart, without doing any ‘due’. I might not be a true person, but when it comes to you, everything changes and my true feelings come through. To me you are star, far in the sky; doting admiration unfazed by the distance. I look at you and there is twinkle in my eyes. Only I know how precious you are t...

Thoughts......

Sometimes crazy, sometimes sane, Sometimes elated and sometimes sad. Making you anxious, making you insane. Bringing back to your senses and sometimes taking you far far away. Your thoughts make you, break you and shape you. Taking you to a place unknown, gearing you up to face the future. These are the highest source of motivation, known to you. Holding-on to your thoughts and shaping them is hard, but worth the trouble. For these thoughts become the significant essence of 'YOU'!

Your Words and 'I'

The smallest gestures duly getting unnoticed are sometimes the biggest source. Beyond symbols and illustrations, 'words' predisposes innumerable situations. For a being relying on actions, words too hold high relevance. For the source of these words legitimizes the prayers to comfort the struggling soul. It is these words that have led me through, helping me overcome the toughest patch, and I owe it all to YOU. Saved as messages, I revert to them- when all hope is lost, I surrender to those uplifting sentences. These words of encouragement and appreciations kept me sane. Even though I claim to be my own savior, I reverted to them time and again, For these have put the humble 'me', on the highest stands. Honoring these words, I make numerous attempts to fulfill these claims. However simple it may seem, but these words do matter. A gentle reminder to use them with discretion- as these simplest of  words can strike the deepest sensations. This poem is ded...
