The song sings to the dance in a whisper. And you wonder why it happens. And then you hear the wind, whistling past the trees. Did it hear the song? Or is it part of the chorus; or may be it is getting ready for the dance. The trees in the forest might know but light does not reach there. Wait…. I know when you … Continue reading Sing and Dance – #33 of 365 Poems
I will give way to a thought, if it talks to me in a tone that I have forgotten but wish it was still with me. I will let the wind sweep me, from my rock solid foundations, If it can promise that it will never leave any footprints, following which I can return home. And I will let them all say I am lost … Continue reading You – #32 of 365 Poems
You do not wake up from a dream like someone climbs up from a well they fell into in a past life. You do not cross the street like you are walking from the living room into your bedroom. And you don’t drive over a dead body because you have the right of way You gotta wait till things clear And then start walking. Continue reading Walking – #31 of 365 Poems

So I decided to go to the Slaughter … Continue reading My visit to a Slaughter House prior to the Beef Ban
I watched Bahubali yesterday and my hypothesis has achieved 100% significance. I think the inventor of the Revolving Door is Kattappa, just like many other inventions from Ancient India. Though H. Bockhacker of Berlin was granted German patent DE18349 on December 22, 1881 for “Tür ohne Luftzug” or “Door without draft of air”, which used a rotating cylinder with a door which after entering, the … Continue reading The inventor of the revolving door is Kattappa
I know it takes more than a moon, to spy on every human being. That is why we have stars. The sun is just a big piece of light, that cannot see much far. It blinds those who look at it. Then they invented cameras and screens. And stopped looking at the moon and stars We never look at the sun for long. Cameras Capture … Continue reading Spying – #30 of 365 Poems
Meeting someone after a long time. First you start with a piece of memory. cut again into several pieces. each small piece for a person we both know. After gulping from some old poem, we share a song together. something the lyrics we had forgotten; but the tune still remains intact. Finally we bid farewell like the last page of a book that lets the … Continue reading Meeting a Friend – #29 of 365 Poems
Two legs that carry a body around. and a head that makes the body carry it. Does the head care if the legs are non existent?
