Upside-Down Smile

Took a deep breath Set my face straight Gather all my strength Sorrow will have to wait Requiem for my heart Singing in the dark Love at the tip of dart Burning without a spark Eyes gone dry Seeing bad dreams Pillows watery Echoing screams Lost in clarity Clear fogginess Individuality Blinded in darkness People [...]

Celebrating Diversity

Some big day indeed! I can see The big red building colorfully alight, Dotted with Sahibs and Memsahibs in white. They step down from plush, sleek white cars To velvet green, red carpet with charm. I see, I see them, they unseeing, Men in white but men in dark. How different it looks out there, [...]

Chameleon Heart

Never  still, never quiet, As unpredictable as silent night, One moment, needless to say, Can tune, alter your beat away. Loving one, then another, Only constant, for dad and mother.   Sometimes death, at times life you desire, Sometimes tears like rain, or wrath like fire. There are times when you disappear, And times when [...]

Love at Gunpoint

He closed his eyes She opened hers His head filled with cries Memories hurt her like curse She was all he needed He always made her smile But now his heart, bleeded She had missed him, now a while His love, it was taken Her heart only just realised He wished never to awaken His [...]

Cleaning the country’s filth, forgetting our own ?

I’m sure it was heartening for most of us to see the country come together as one when supporting against the Anna Hazare campaign for the Lokpal bill.  But as I always like to say, the campaign is fundamentally flawed and here’s a reason as to why.

Stray Dog Smitten Animal Lovers

Human beings when gone mad are never allowed to roam free instead they are forcefully chained and are mostly taken to dark, dingy lonely cells accompanied by shock treatment. The irony is that un owned stray dogs mostly rabies carriers are let loose on the streets with self appointed elite animal protection activists rallying behind [...]

Dreams

Lost in a reverie, a haze unspoken As memories of catacombs come to life Enliven ! pronounces the mind, befuddled Mishmash, ambivalence, the truth spoken The fragrance of myrrh, the breath of elixir, a sliver of hope, a glimmer of summer, the scent of a woman and the mirage of gossamer Melt unmindfully in a [...]

Bangalore.. My Journey

  Bangalore, with its population of 41, 30,288 (Senses of 2001b) in the year 1991, saw a relaxed city filled with greenery and watermelons; A residential paradise with minimal traffic and minimal pollution. Not much of hustle bustle, peace filled the air and we lived in a care-free environment, with little to worry about in [...]

Perpetual Wait

It is a cold, cold December night Quite past the decent hours Been sitting in an emptying café You are way past the stipulated time. I still sit here in one manner, half waiting, Half treating myself to rare freedom, To involuntary closing of eyes, Relishing the caress of tickling, tempting, Consuming cold breeze on [...]
