Popular culture in India has for long put in the spotlight the use and effects of Bhang. From stories of drinking bhang during Mahashivratri to the romanticizing of Bhang in Bollywood through scenes in movies like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Bhang has had its share of the limelight. So, what exactly is Bhang?

Bhang is an edible form of cannabis. It is a mixture made up of the buds, leaves and flowers of the marijuana plant. It has been added to food and drinks during religious celebrations since millennia. Like other forms of Marijuana, Bhang also plays a medicinal role in our culture.

I’ve read something that Bill Gates said about six months ago. He said, ‘I worked really, really hard in my 20s.’ And I know what he means because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too. Literally, you know, 7 days a week, a lot of hours every day. And it actually is a wonderful thing to do, because you can get a lot done. But you can’t do it forever, and you don’t want to do it forever, and you have to come up with ways of figuring out what the most important things are and working with other people even more.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. Without labor, nothing prospers.

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.

Working in teams increases collaboration. And the sharing of ideas and can go a long way in giving teams a productivity boost. However, with multiple individuals comprising the team, it is important to keep them all motivated. This ensures there are no weak points in group efforts.

Moonlight Balloon

In my dreams, I take a ride into the deep psychedelic sky
My ride held up by the deep diamond stars
The night carries me
I am carried by the crescent moon
The deep dark cotton clouds tarnished only with pink and white bloom
In this balloon of the moonlight
I take flight
The beautiful night carries me
I feel the sway
To and fro
I move quickly into this illuminating sky
A wonderful scene
No words can describe
Yet, I still try
I feel the cool breeze on my face
I see the fireworks of shooting stars that act as swaying ropes
Holding me onto this balloon of the night
Holding me in this dreaming travelling basket
I watch the shooting stars
In my dreams, I take a ride into the psychedelic sky

And down the tower crashes
The butterflies take flight
The moon shines light on the shadows
that dance in foggy light.
I'm standing all the way up top.
Like a diver poised and practiced.

It might be the misty moonlight
You might have something in your eye.
But your pretty sure that you can see,
A grin on my face a mile wide.

I'm waiting for the final moment,
The timing pulses in my blood.
I've made this leap a time or 10
I'm so good at it it's fun.

I hold out my hands to take theirs,
They are still getting used to the jump.
It's all good my babies,
have trust and not fear
Your going to love how it ends up.

Get excited for the adventure,
It's all about to change.
Never a dull moment,
When Spirit calls you by name.

House of the Past

Remnants of a yesterday long gone
Like the fallen tree no longer standing
Life has passed these premises by
No rhyme, no reason, no understanding

A place where life could be heard
Echoes of laughter throughout the halls
Running feet pounding out a childish rhythm
Happiness permeating forever
As the ghosts of yesterday calls

Dusty patterns cling to the faded past
When life was good and times were unforgettable
Slow moving days on a carousel of dreams
Life ebbing with moments regrettable

Shambles among the thorny briars of time
In aging increments falling
Lost to the days of faded glory
And a long lost anthem calling

FROM YOUR HANDS
From your hands, I feel like the sun is just a poser
because I shine shinnier than it thinks it does
From your hands, I see the mountain as a jester
claiming highness because it lowers it position seeing how highest you keep lifting me
From your hands, I see the greens of the trees as thorns in the Lily's community
because you are making me glow, glow and glow greenier
And getting them concieved with envy in their cavity
From your hands, I see the depth of the ocean as that of the feet and the womb of the floor
because the depth of the love you have for me is super immeasurable
It's my desire everyone finds your hand
And bold like a lion, their feet will continually stand

Clouds of Dreams

Clouds appear in her bedroom of dreams
Soft and billowy
Little puffs of make believe
A place where dreams and wishes play
Time to be a kid again, no hurry to leave

Reaching to touch
The clouds float softly caressing her hand
A feeling of happiness penetrates through the skin
Effortlessly her mind transported back to childhood land

A time where life was simple
Cloud dreaming on a summer day
Chasing youth on an endless trail
The thought of tomorrow
Was a lifetime away

Embraced by a peaceful slumber
Under a canopy of clouds
Riding Unicorns and carousels
All the laughter one heart and soul were allowed

Jumping from cloud to cloud
Buoyant and weightless and free
Chasing memories through flights of fancy
As across the sweet sleep of dreams she flees

Slumber ends with the rise of the sun
No clouds above her head
Stretching like a kitten after a nap
In the place of dreams, her white canopied bed

Purple river

Tranquil corners of my mind
Seeking solace I need to find
Silhouettes made by the moon
Days are over far too soon

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Holding hearts in the purple river

Paddling in ecstasy
Peaceful waters comfort me
Reflective soul under same stars
Clearly revealing who you are

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Holding hearts in the purple river

Dancing together through the night
Singing songs of sheer delight
Words dry up when you’re around
Our purple river still surrounds

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Holding hearts in the purple river

Learning from the sea of life
Beauty slices like a knife
Sailing together reaching shore
Our own rivers flowing more

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Holding hearts in the purple river

Take my hand, feel the water flow
Relax right now, let your tension go
Spirits whisper to your soul
Baby please let me take control

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Hearts are held, purple river

Take your time to understand
Our lives have always been planned
I’ve loved you for a thousand years
Purple river kiss away your tears

Looming weavers quiver
Shining brightly over river
Cooling waters makes me shiver
Hearts clinging, purple river

Love’s unpredictable

Love’s unpredictable
Mirroring your time
Turning back the clock
As seconds emit

Captivating visions
Ripening of a bulb
Sudden death, departs
Cannot help but to blub

Nothing goes swimmingly
Get caught up in the loop
You’re constantly kicking
Against bottom of pool

Start seeking, ye shall find
Take that final step, leap
Bells taking final toll
Chiming their charming peal

Constant grinding wears thin
Battle right from the start
When life throws you lemons
Keep on baking those tarts

“A Deadly Night Shark”



Struck by it all, a
faded light, that
darn near took my
own heart,
persuaded by her
own calls of
wrongs and rights,
that sure put all
kinds of harm to
us, to finally fuss
and fall tight,
completely apart.

Her own dim light
seemed to be the
answer to all my
own lonely parts,
I’ve should have
known she was
just a prancer a
deadly night shark,
already to tare
every single thing
completely all
apart.

Why must this kind
of a male to female
relationship start,
by feeling each
other’s only lonely
hearts? Why can
we just start by
holding each
other closely at
heart to heart? To
keep from already
fallen completely
apart?

Laugh

I'll laugh like a madman
If it makes me sane
I'll laugh past the sorrow
The heartache and pain

For sometimes there's things
That may cut strife in half
Let's live through this life
And just find ways to laugh

Laugh like you mean it
Oh laugh when it's good
Laugh on behalf
Of this life as you should

Laugh at the fact
That we might just have fun
Laugh for such silliness
Under the sun

Laugh like you feel like
You just have to dance
Laugh like you might need
A new pair of pants

Laugh at the thought
Of a ticklish touch
Laugh at the fact
That you're laughing so much

Laugh when you fumble
For words you can't say
Just mumble and grumble
Then laugh it away

Laugh to that face
Who is laughing at you
They see you're so silly
They're so silly too

Laugh if they can't
See the light you have found
Laugh so perhaps
They might realize the sound

Maybe they'll laugh
When they find it profound
To gift them a giggle
Might bring them around

Not every day
In this life should be bad
Just laugh when they say
That you may have gone mad

She Will

She will pick you up
In all the times when you fall down
She will fill your cup
When it's been emptied on the ground

She will help you grin
In times you're fighting off a frown
She'll sparks your light within
When there's dark rain clouds all around

She whispers in your ear
And all your fears just fade away
And though it's not yet here
She'll help you see a brighter day

When deep within your hole
It's she who always brings a rope
To help you reach your goal
Always rely on lady Hope

We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others
