[English Poem] Life worth living

Fortune maybe inherited by luck
Money may be earned by any kind of means
Gifts may be received by chance of being in the right place
Love can be received passively not realizing its beauty
Places can be traveled without involving heart and mind
Respect can be commanded by making people fear you
But a life worth its name can be lived only
    by doing things that make us feel invincible
    by enduring struggles that make us feel livelier than ever
    by feeling the sense of universal soul that resides in each living being
    by making moments that make you forget about the past and future, and when they become memories make you forget the present
    by comprehending beauty of this universe and trying to recreate a part of it
    by living moments that skip you a hearbteat and take out your breath
    by making friends who make your joy multiply and tears hide

[Telugu Poem] మరుపొక వరం

ప్రయత్నిస్తే వేడి వస్తువునైనా తాకొచ్చు కష్టపడితే మండుటెండలో సైతం నడవొచ్చు కాని గుండెల్లో మంటలు ఆర్పేదెలా? బలం పెడితే బండలు మోయొచ్చు వెన్ను వంచితే బరువులు మోయొచ్చు కానీ మనసులో బరువుని మోసేదెలా? కాళ్లు తడవకుండా నది దాటొచ్చు ఒళ్లు తడవకుండా వర్షంలో నడవొచ్చు కానీ కళ్లు తడవకుండా జీవితం గడిచేదెలా ? కాలం మారినా గాయమెందుకు మానదో మనిషికి వయసొచ్చినా మరుపెందుకు రాదో

[English Poem] Bane or Boon?

Bane or Boon? What an enigma modern technology is! How great are its advancements! How dangerously powerful they are! How charming are its inventions! How beautifully deceiving they are! Apps to let me do everything Search engines to find anything Everything at my fingertips Everyone only at a distance of a tap How incredible is a smartphone! Notification distracting my attention Obsessive compulsion to check my empty screen Getting lost in it for indefinite time How damaging is it at the same time! Tens of people to keep in touch with, Hundreds of people to compare with, How double edged is social media! Having access to all the information quickly Drowning in its volume swiftly Knowing all the kinds of data on the fly Losing sense of proportion on the way How dual natured is the internet!
