The world stands still now, A Pandemic is what they say, A virus that spares none at all, A virus that can take it all, It sees no difference, Rich or poor. Crippling economies, Big or Small. We look around, Masked faces, Gloved hands, Scared communities, Hospitals have become battlefields, Medics combating fearlessly on the…
Amour.
Love is Respect. Respect the silly ideas. Respect the wild decisions. Respect the personal space. Love is Acceptance. Accept the imperfections. Accept the expectations. Accept the mistakes. Love is Tolerance. Tolerate those breakdowns. Tolerate those petty fights. Tolerate those misunderstandings. Love is indeed Hard. Patient. Corny. And Peace. Love should be Self –…
Something Called ‘Love’
I have never known what love is, May be it’s a late night phone call, A stranger’s smile, A friend dropping by to say Hi. I have never known what love is, May be it’s Maa scolding at you for the junk diet, Papa checking up on you late night, Or your brother scowling at…
A Charred Emblem
As I walk deep into the woods, I come across this dilapidated, old house. Quiet, forlorn and charred, Just standing there in all its glory, Shattered and ruined. There was something about that house, The eerie atmosphere, The poisonous creepers clinging to the walls, The rusty old door knob. The raven sitting atop, Staring right…
A Tête-à-Tête with Time.
On a winter eve, Over tea, Time paid a visit home. It asked, “I have been a guide to lost souls. A teacher or a nurse, A thief or a hope, A lesson for many probably, What am I to you?” As I look Time in the eye, I give a stern reply, “You have…
An Implicit Love.
Unsaid, Unspoken, Unexpressed, Lies in disguise, Is an innocent love story. They know, They deny. Look into their eyes, There’s a silent cry. Look into their heart, There’s an Emotion That slowly dies. Threatened by the World, Thwarted by Society, A crime commits. A brutal murder, Of all that “could have been”. Of all that…
Living through an Imperfect Reality.
Once I dreamt of a Perfect World, One with no trace of this reality we live in. Once I dreamt of a Perfect Mankind, One who acknowledges all, One who respect their own being. Once I dreamt of a Perfect Opportunity, One that brings in much wealth, Peace of mind and the best health. Once…
#MeToo – “Them”
It’s a fear, Of lurking shadows Or lecherous ogles. It’s a paranoia, Of an inappropriate touch Or a cat called comment. It’s a dread Of being stalked, Or being quietly whisked away. It’s a Shame That we are afraid of “Them”. “Them” Who are “Them”? A son, a father, a brother or a husband. “Them”…
Maa.. We need Thee.
Eyes that sees to all, A Face with a sacred glow, A sharp Nose, Lips with a radiant smile, Hair stronger than any rope. Ten hands that tends to all. Armed with divine weapons, Determined to end this evil. A feminine Body, A machismo Soul. Blended in one Avatar. Maa Durga.. reckoned by all. Dear…
