Catch a Butterfly
To meditate ...
To catch a moment ...
To catch an opportunity if you can ...
To be ever ready since opportunities keep passing by ...
It's a hard and smart work ...
Patience ...
An eye for detail ...
The beauty around ...
To use senses ...
To be sensual ...
Nothing more, Nothing less, Nothing to hoard!
Unlike a HUMAN ... (what else do you need for) BEING ...
What do you do when a dog barks at you?

Conscious Of Self-Esteem

Rise-n-Fall in the Rain-Fall
An OPTICIAN, to change the outlook of people.
An ARTIST, to draw a smile on everyone's face.
A CONSTRUCTOR, to build a bridge between neighbours.
A GARDENER, to cultivate good thoughts.
And a MATHEMATICIAN, for all of us to re-learn how to add love and sympathy to our relations.
'The-Self' has them All ..
Just a matter of taking Right-Call !
No Time? Micro-Meditate!

Business Eco-rgonomics
10 am to 6 pm they run from one bus to other bus under the scorching Sun.
Running from passenger-to-passenger they end up earning Rs 200 maximum. One of them shared his plight.
Purchase price of water bottle 16.
Selling price 18.
He had to swap the load off from his head on to his shoulder supporting it by one hand (and back again) a couple of times within a minute. Why because it was unbearably inconvenient to rest there for more than a few seconds at one place.
That's all the margin? I exclaimed.
Yes sir!
These shops on bus-stand have monopoly. (This story is about the Swar-gate bus-stand in Pune India.) They get water bottles for Rs 6. They earn Rs 10. We get Rs 2 after all this (he wiped his) perspiration.
They hold licenses. We don't get hawking licenses to sell anything inside the stand because of lobbying by the shops. Police drives us out or puts us in custody if we try to sell.
In fact if we get the bottles directly at Rs 6 we can sell them at 15 so that end customer gets it cheaper by Rs 3. It's the middleman who makes it expensive to end consumer.
Commonsense economics of demand and supply!
He went on to narrate story of the 'corruption in the supply-chain': Result of a nexus among government officials, state transport officials, police and the traders/shops.
The 'hawker' who tries to unite against this practice is forced out of the supply-chain by 'divide-and-rule' policy.
And we can't afford it. I have been doing this for last two decades from the age of nine. I'm from landless farmer family with old parents at home and brothers, sisters. I'm not married. Who will (marry me)? Don't know what to do.
(By the way) Have you taken our pictures to publish in newspaper?
No. Actually I had thought of writing about economics and lack of ergonomics in your business. Now I'm going to write about your entrepreneurship and smile on your face in spite of your hardships.
I patted him and bought a bottle. What else could I've done accept for promising him to write (so that some people in power read) this.
Lost in thoughts I boarded my bus to Mumbai.

बॉसचं मोठं, तूझं खोटं !
This poem is about paradigm shift on an eternal fight between a Boss and his subordinate.
Marathi Version
बॉसचं मोठं, तूझं सारंच छोटं
त्याचं १००-नंबरी, तूझं खोटं
येणार उशीरा: तो रूबाबदार बॉस
लवकर येणारा: झाडूवाला खास
त्याचं सोन्याहून पिवळं
तूझं डांबराहून काळं
बॉसचं, कॅरट चाैवीस
तूझं, चारसो बीस
बॉसचा मसल-कॅच मोठा
तूझा हार्ट-अटॅकही खोटा
बॉसचं पब्लिक पण प्रायव्हेट
तूझं प्रायव्हेट पण पब्लिक
सायकल पंन्कचरला त्याची दांडी
तंगडी तूटली तरी तूझ्यावर अंडी
बॉसचं सारंच मोठं, तूझं छोटं
त्याचं १००-नंबरी, तूझं खोटं
नको करून घेऊ उगा त्रास
'तूच' खरंतर तूझा मोठ्ठा बॉस
'तू' is the G-O-D (Generator-Operator-Destroyer) in you.

Daddy! बा: तेव्हां आणि आता !
(तेव्हां, डॅडी-डॅडी, मी येऊ)²
It's about how a person's behavior changes over a period of time, from being a child to an adult to a parent, sometimes forced by circumstances, sometimes by loss of patience, sometimes due to lack of tolerance capability, sometimes by choice.
About how equanimity gets challenged by emotionality.
