LEARNING IS LIFE

Librarian, a teacher true, Helping children, me and you. Reading's path they gently pave, Knowledge seekers, brave and save. Skills, not shelves, are now the key, Open doors for you and me. Reading well, a lifelong art, Starts right here, right from the start.

  Ode to  Singer Asha Bhosle (Asha Bhosle (8 Sept 1933 – 12 Apr 2026)  Ashaji, voice of grace 'n fire, In song, you found your heart's desire. Not just comfort, but a space, To build a self, with strength and grace. Cabaret's call, a peppy beat, Ghazals soft, a rhythm sweet. You carved a path, uniquely yours, Ignoring doubts, and closed doors. Jingles hummed, a simple call, You made them art, enchanting all. Asha Bhosle, name so clear, A timeless voice, we hold so dear.

 The mind is shaped, a box of views, A tiny room, of me and yous. It draws a line, a wall so tall, Creating sides, where all must fall. Inside, you fight shadows you made, Divisions drawn, a constant parade Of judgments harsh, and battles won, But happiness sleeps, beneath the sun. But break the walls, the lines unfair, Find open space, and breathe the air. Beyond the box, a wider view, The "real me" waits, the honest you. Unconditional, calm, and clear, No threat to hold, no need to fear. The reactive mind, it loses hold, A freedom blooms, more precious than gold
