I always give due reverence to my electronic gadgets (Whatever I have), clothes, sandals, jewelry (read artificial, oxidized, chunky…). Take good care of all of them. Forever trying to protect them from lecherous stares and black magic of vicious relatives.
Possessions stimulate my mind to greatest possible height. When I have to protect my attires the [...]
Watching it on TV was a truly horrifying experience. If I invest two hours in anything I expect something or to be more precise – results. What the result would be is debatable. What if I have a child and given 10 years of my life to the child? In the end, some obscure teacher [...]
I was reading somewhere about a brand new Hindi movie. Its USP is – its actress was given a contemporary New York look! Wow! What an achievement! I wonder whether those who ruled us before August 15, 1947 have read this or not? They might feel tempted to push their contemporary London look. We are [...]
A river of cherished memories
Flowing gently in your heart.
I Tried,
Inundating it with poison of jealousy
Hope, the river was not
Desecrated.
Memories, still dancing

Emptying all the gems, hidden
Deep in the heart of the river.
Hope, they are still [...]

Seemingly an unpalatable indulgence!
What about promises made

Learning hope?
To parched fields -
Waiting since eternity for rivers
To change course?
To invincible mountains -
Challenging to match their greatness?
To hydra headed monsters -
Raising their heads in every [...]
A face devoid of love and grace,
A hateful, hard and successful face,
Ah! A successful face!
Shooing away, all the
Demonic societal insecurities.
At a lowly price of
Shrugging off the liability, called
Self-esteem, opening
A stairway to elusive dream – flapping my wings
Amongst the Cream de la cream!
Hatefulness, hardness and inelegance, oh! The package
Compel the river of my creativity
To tumble incessantly.
Itching [...]
