I would like to share one event which took place on the last evening, 24th July 2007 of my life tenure at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, which is the house of the President of india. I went around all the gradens. Cretain beautiful event occurred during the visit and also unique scenes flashed througth my mind. I composed the poem on an integrated way depicting all that i saw and imagined. The name of the poem-------What can i give.
1.
One evening, a beautiful evening
I was in a mission of thanks giving
To my families of nature.
Reached the hut in the Mughal Garden
In the midst of the dense banyan grove.
Herbal fragrance filled all around,
Musical fountain with rhythm of Shehnai.
Hundreds of intoxicated parrots by the music.
One young banyan tree, talked to me''O! Kalam
in all seasons, with trunks rooted on earth
We absorb all the heat in the mid days
We give shelter to so many birds.
Give shade and cool breeze
To animals and humans all around.
What man gives, tell me Kalam,''
''O my young friend, you have given
A grat message of Giving,
Continue your God's mission of giving and giving.''
2.
Suddenly many parrots came and sat
All around the branches of the tree
in the serene banyan grove,
Lighted the place beautiful and glittering.
One Parrot, shot a question to me;
''We 'the parrots are beautiful!
As your poetic words picture us
O Kalam, can you fly on your own?''
''O! No my friends, you are blessed,
Continue the mission of spreading happiness.''
My human pride completely melted.

A new scene emerged
With a family of eght peacocks and peahens,
Surrounding me seated in the hut
Three of the peacocks with fully unfurled wings,
Danced and danced, it was a heavenly sights,
Never seen, three peacocksin my graden,
All dancing in a place same time,
Time stood still.
A younger one looked at me
''Kalam sir, can you remember me?''
''O friend, you are alike.''
The peacock said, i was the one lying semiconscious
in front of your office, you brought the doctor, Sudhir
You touched me with kindness.
Then i did not know anything,
Except i was on the operation table of Sudhir.
The tumor in my throat was removed.
Medicine givien and i was fed and cured.
The docoter handed over me to you,
You blessed me and let me fly.
In Biodiversity park with happiness rising
Today Kalam sir, we gave you
A final thanks giving dance.''
''O my young friend,
God has blessed you with
A great quality called gratitude
Continue spreading it where you go!''

Entered into the bio-diversity park
Deer heards with their little ones
They ran and ran,
The laeder marching with horns straights,
Glanced at me and said ''I am the leader of the deer''
There was a formation of deer,
The horned leader leader was bowing his head
Then a miracle happened.
One lovely deer, a young one slowly and
Slowly advanced towards me,
And started licking my hand
Looked at me and said
