I was greatly inspired by Ehsaas poem about her office.
Here is the link to her poem :
http://ehsaas.sulekha.com/blog/post/2008/07/my-office.htm
But why is Ehsaas is GAYAB* from her seat
may be she is in a mood up beat
taking a round in the street
finding the CHILD in her
that she lost in office's heat
searching for the love and compassion
that she finds missing in her comparison
with her younger days and her profession
Ehsaas went to the flower beds EHSAAS = Human feelings
to inhale and rejuvenate
her spirit of being a human
killing the selfish professional demon
Getting Mother Nature's motivation
to keep alive the inner souls inspiration
resolved she returns with determination
to live her life with love and compassion
*GAYAB = Missing
** EHSAAS = The human feelings
And using EHSAAS’s inspirational words ……
All things in office showed me
how to survive and act
how to be mean and kill the free will
and become a hypocrite
killing my hill man inside
smothering my consciousness
I too became a bloody professional
with every minute I possessed and passed
with every promotion that I got
crushing the hill man in me,
when-ever bread and butter I bought
the blood turned blue and cold
so did my inner voice
being exploited I did exploit too
what face I shall show to GOD
And these lines are exactly what my heart understood while my eyes and brain read her poem
Arising from the hills and snow
Adjusting my-self in four walls somehow
Controlling my aspirations somehow
Ceiling warns me not to jump above its height
neither to fly above the boss’s flight
as winds are there so high
The slow but persistently moving fan
Gives the message to be as doggedly cool
turn your face, revolve and rotate as per condition
to avoid making your-self a work-alcoholic fool
The mirror says to reflect before I act
to imitate what other did to protect
and shield my errors thru boss's sect
Nostalligic melancholy when invade
Windows allow the cool breeze to permeate
And show me the way to resolve the omnipresent hate
Windows show me the view of hills and free birds
inspire me to have little escapes and live what heralds
this hill man's little heart
And last but not least the ticking clock
warns of the predative eyes on me every minute I have
And at the end of the day
The door at the far side of cabin
Tells me to push hard exactly at five p.m.
Reminding me of waiting eyes of my son and his mom
And finally the smiling family photo on my desk
Made me aware of myriad of blessings I have
makes me to work hard,
a sole motivation that boosts my moral
telling me to work harder for their smiles and survival

u have picked up the zeast of my poem and excelled urself with these poems.
I have used creativity to reflect on objects and you have presented the day to day reality of the life we are living. A real contrast but so well complimenting the views.
