Time value of self

When I was kid,
There used show this story
The inital started with a background
And the harsh voice used to say
"Meh Samay hu"
"I am time"
What funny thing is time
In finance we have learned
Time value of money
Time has great powers
But often when we think of ourselve
Of doing something big in future
Of overcoming an obstacle
We often put our self
As what we are feeling today
Into that situation
We don't give time a value
We make a promise
And in full honestly
But we forget to discount
For time
We forget that we will
not be the same
That time will change us
That things then will much difference
Than they are today
And you know why we do this
We do this
Because of ego
which tells us that you have been
one constant person
That the Ram of today
is the Ram of years ago
They are the same person
Thus making a coherent story
Of who you were in the past
And what you will be in future
And as a result
This "sense of I"  lives through time
This one thing that have seen it all
Is capable of finite things
Projects the past into the future

Preet Vihar ki Galiya

Jab aaya tha pheli baar,
Aksaar kho jata tha,
Preet Vihar ki choti choti galiyo meh

Nah jane kon log rehte hai yaha,
Itna bhagte kyu hai,
Rukhte kyu nahi?
Dekhte kyu nahi?

Nikala tha pheli baar
Jab morning walk k liye
Park meh log hass rahe the
Ravan ki tarah
Kuch talli bajja rahe the
Kuch latke the paiddo se
Preet Vihar k log

Har baar puch na padta
Na jane kitne raste the,
Jo sab mere kamre ko lejate the

Ab jab kuch samay nikal gaya hai
Preet Vihar apna sa lagne laga hai
Har rasta kuch jana pechna
Kya cheez hoti hai na pehchanna?
Pehchhana
Matlab kayi kayi alag cheezo ko
Ek bade ka part dekhna

Ab muskurate kuch log park meh
Dekh kar,
Woh Ravan jaise hasne wale uncle
Ki dukhhan hai beauty products ki
Yeh aunty MNC meh kam karti hai
Un uncle ka beta gali chor k rehta hai

Kaise jagao k,
Logo k
Mahine badal jate hai
Jab thodda pechchan jate hai unhe..

Half complete

When I was young,
I was lazy too.
Lazyness encourages shortcuts
Whenever I got homework
I would do only half
Half work is uniquely advantageous
Often I could get away from being punished
I could even make an acquisition
On how
I tried and how I failed
Teahcers,
Maybe most people,
are willing to give you a pass
Provided you give them a reason
Anyways
Time passed
And my love half persisted
Their is a childish half
And a  half which is Resonable
A half friend
And only half an enemy
Half at promises of love
half at my commitment to work
Half healthy and half sick
Half awoke and half asleep
Half crawling and half walking upright
Half intuition and half caliberation
And yeah this half poem
I fear in this half life
Would death be complete?
