Rites and homage
(0 votes, average: 0.00 out of 5, rated)
Loading ...After death, almost all, indulge
in conducting various rites for the dead
however illogical, it may seem,
to revive, pamper
and fondle endearing memories.
***
By paying homage to the dead
more than honouring the dead
hero or a close one, rather it
promotes fraternity and harmony
among the groups of people
and gives a lesson
to the onlookers to respect
whomsoever, one may meet and acquaint with.
***
As a healthy practice,
isn’t it desirable to continue
to perform various rites, after death
and pay yearly tribute to the departed ones;
leaving aside the religious colour?

Beautiful poem carrying a very meaningful point.
I am a proponent & believer in such rites normally performed and they have a lot of meaning which are given in the scriptures. To disrespect or ridicule them with whatever attitude, understanding or half knowledge is, according to me, very unwise.
A nice and meaningful poem, Medhini.
कौन रोता है किसी और की ख़ातिर ऐ दोस्त
सबको अपनी ही किसी बात पे रोना आया.

Shukla, Vishvji, Pares & Sahai;
Thank you very much for appreciative
comments.
Have a passion for poetry,enjoys reading and writing small articles, short stories and poems to the news papers,magazines,etc, a little bit of cooking and listens to music.
various rites only wipes out the sudden shock of death of near and dear ones.Everyone is busy throughout the time.THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION.HOW to console yourself in such situations?
