Poem

Hunger

He saw two rag-pickersFighting over who found it first –The raw and stale bread loaf.Their mindless strife stoppedAnd turned into a disappointmentWhen the stray street dogTaking advantage of their quarrelRan away with the bread loaf… He realized from that episodePerhaps the hunger of bellyIs much stronger in lifeThan the hunger of heart. 33,905 total views, 2 views […]

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 […]

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 […]
