Mini

To this lovely little birdMini is the name given by meEvery morning she visits my homeTo perch on my east window paneThere she chirps, tweets and singsIn a joyful motion flaps her wingsTransfixed I am often than notWhat a divine pleasure to watchIf any day I ever miss her presenceGloomy I am with an unbearable […]

Poem

Memories

In memoriesDo we really rememberYears, months or days? No, we really not…We remember moments,Moments in the pastIt’s a way of reminiscenceOr reliving our pastIt’s a way of holdingA person or thing we loveOr we don’t want to lose. Memories may fadeMemories undergo a sabbaticalBut they don’t ever vanishThey don’t ever die or ageAnd more we […]

Memorabilia

A few forgotten memoriesA few forgotten talesA few sung and unsung songsOf good olden daysThose worn out old lettersAnd some auspicious greetingsThose not so lucky rose petalsNarratives spoken and unspokenOf happy and sad momentsA few quote and unquoteOf their rendezvous lastAnd one miscellany scrapbookSo fondly preservedIn his personal dashboardRepresent the memorabiliaThe priceless gemsAnd valued possessionsOf […]

Make Peace in Life

Earth and skyAppear to meetAt infinite horizon…Do they really meet ever? In the desertA mirage appearsGiving a hope of oasis…Is there really some water? Dream and realityAppear to materializeYet like two parallel lines…Do they really unite ever? Likewise, in this universeWe have no control overUnion and separationHope and desperationVictory and loss, andLife and demise. So […]

On a deserted beach at sunsetAs he watched curiouslyThe native leaned downPicked up somethingAnd hurled it into the waterHe would repeat the same featTo his surprise time and again. Puzzled, he asked the native –I wonder what you are doing!The native replied – It’s low tideStarfishes are washed up onto shoreI am throwing them back […]

The Grazing Public Servant

One fine morning, I walkedIn the vicinity of a fenced estate,Where guards stood stiff and alertA signpost read in golden typeIt’s a “VIP Zone—Do Not Hype”Inside, seated upon the velvet lawnA creature grazed from dusk to dawnNo, not mule, not horse, not cow exactlyBut a thing… somewhat bureaucratically. It chewed the grass with a calm […]

The Silent Balance

Editor’s Pick At times I pause and wonder stillDo vibrations stir your mind at willA long ago, our paths had crossedTogether we walked, then were lost. You moved on like most people doLeft behind a legacy for me to followHalf-dreamt desires, unspoken pleasSo I kept following on uncertain seas. As one who strolls with sight […]

Sanatana Samskaras (Rituals) Among all the extinct and existing civilizations in the world, when it comes to the tapestry of Sanatana Dharma, life has never been viewed as a random sequence of biological events; instead, as a disciplined progression of soul in stages with an end goal of spiritual liberation (Moksha). Since Vedic age, the […]

Chital – Jungle’s Grace

Golden coat with moonlit white spotsSimmer at the sunrise – soft and brightSlender limbs, expressive eyes so wideIn dappled woods they leap and glide. Lyre-shaped antlers crown the malesQuite long branching like a forest taleThey roam through teak and sal treesDance and play in pan India jungles. Predators’ shadow, silent and nearTheir life renews through […]

Greed For Power

Among all temptations in life of a man, perhaps the greed for power is the strongest one. The obvious reasons appear to be that when one is empowered, all other luxuries and antiquities of life automatically fall in line. Hence it is not surprising that people craving for the power adopt and exploit all overt […]

A Fairy Tale

Like a fairy descended from the paradiseShe was beautiful no less than Snow WhiteLike an angel she was generous and kindThe flowers bloomed whenever she smiled.
