Where do you belong? That is a tough question. But belonging somewhere seems to be important At least as an obscure dream Like a drifter who never settles Our real travels are no more physical we travel through minds, not just ours; but even through that of others. we get lost and then when we find – ourselves we are lost again All these years have not changed us we are still the same nomads we were- thousands of years [...]
Mother earth wept at the feet of her own children Multiplying by billions, do they really heed “Be considerate”; she cried don’t rape me in the pretext of reaping A day will come when I can support no more No more feed and No more protect For the wrath of the unknowns are unknown even to me No, I am not angry, I am sad Because like a mother I too will die trying to save my children, It makes [...]
Today I tried to translate a very poetic Malayalam song “Surma Ezhuthiya Mizhikale”. I found that I was in a chakravyuh. I knew how to get in but I had no clue how to get out. The problems of half knowledge. A chakravyuh is a military tactical formation which can be translated as “wheel lock” where you have two aspects of a knowledge, getting in and getting out unharmed. The story of chakravyuh is that Abhimanyu who knew the way [...]
I wish Today That the skies be filled with birds Flying over the clouds As empty broken cages Wait to be thrown away I wish I wish Today That classrooms be filled Instead of prison cells That the rains fill up the wells Where thirsty lips hit the dust I wish I wish Today That battles are won by both sides Before the first bullet is fired And the world I live wakes up from the shackles of agony, I [...]
Time flies, people change Thoughts, wants, relations, life Change eats every one From outside going deep inside Or from inside eating out of you Just hold on to love and let go of hate Be Liberal and never indifferent Embrace responsibility, it is yours Find happiness in giving over taking Don’t try to be in control, just let go Anything else that changes for you Just don’t bother, they matter no more Change eats into everyone Correction; Change eats most [...]
I don’t care what date is Valentine’s Day I really don’t, honestly It can be today, it can be tomorrow I don’t care because I don’t decide The world calls it the day of love Nothing changed for me today When the needle in the clock made its turn Nothing will change tomorrow When the needle makes yet another turn What Matters the most to me is that You are my Valentine Did you hear that? :) What I CARE [...]
If every beauty hidden behind a veil were to come in the open would our appreciation of beauty change? If every fact unknown to man becomes known Will we be truly informed? If every sorrow known to man becomes nonexistent will we know happiness? If every man how ever knowledgable accepts his ignorance Will mankind be enlightened? If every question asked in the future can get answered today Will we become extinct?
Mothers on this side mothers on that side loosing their sons to dirty wars wounded on this side wounded on that side wounded in heart on every side No animosity, No anger Just tears and hope that it will end some day When the gunshots stop and silence descends hushed up wails that break open walls mothers who learned to cry in silence, Sons and daughters – whose fathers lost Widowed women buried in sorrow Scenes of battles tales of [...]
I Standing by the sea, I whispered to a wave that touched my feet and played around “Give me a piece of history that I can take home; something that someone gave you; when they stood here years ago’ the wave retreated promising to be back soon and I waited II I waited for days and months and then one day it came back gave me a torn shoe, a baby shoe eaten by fish, much of it I asked [...]
I Nostalgia is not getting stuck in the past it is unraveling memories stuck in time reconnecting with parts of a forgotten you about faces that smiled and frowned at you the hands that hugged, cared and guided you words that mattered the world to you simple fun that made you complete once remembering people who touched your life. It is about missing the true moments that made you II A part of me often visits from the past shows [...]
