KodaChrome On Netflix – A Must Watch
Netflix, I thank you for bringing movies such as this to us. I don’t honestly care what the rating for the movie is on IMDB or Rotten tomatoes. These movies speak life like they are dying… Ed Harris, always a treat to watch and that picturization of a Dad-Son relationship… I know many people think differently, but I can only speak of myself. I lost … Continue reading KodaChrome On Netflix – A Must Watch

As I try to write a poem a day and I am awake at 12:20 AM…. like it is still the same day… time has moved on and I am in a new day. But wait… the day ends when I sleep, not when the needle strikes some 12.. I was in a call with old pals who I knew when young…. we then travelled … Continue reading 20/30 | Forget the Rules | National Poetry Month 2018
19/30 | The apartment window | National Poetry Month 2018
A melancholy always drips from the apartment window, driving you nuts as you sit beneath smoking cigarettes. You blow smoke just in time for it to go in and create a chaos for the old lady who lives there.

The … Continue reading 19/30 | The apartment window | National Poetry Month 2018
Chintan Sarda’s Shunyata is in no way a void, It is full.. it is Complete
Directed by Chintan Sarda, Shunyata means ‘Void’ and the film depicts the life of a contract killer and his battle with the void inside him. Back to the streets of mumbai this dark short had Jackie Shroff playing a very realistic role. Shorts show life in a very big way though they are stepping stones for many to make full length movies. I am sure … Continue reading Chintan Sarda’s Shunyata is in no way a void, It is full.. it is Complete
18/30 | Face | National Poetry Month 2018
A face weeps just beside me as I make my way into the tunnel. The face talks “At the end you will find light, but for that you have to walk in dark.” I presumed so as there is never light until you are determined to overcome the fear and walk in through the dark. It is the rule. There is no other way for … Continue reading 18/30 | Face | National Poetry Month 2018
17/30 | Fingers | National Poetry Month 2018
Fingers move across the keyboard like they are playing a game. A game I just get to sit and watch… They don’t get to kick the same key more than once, except in some rare cases…. the fingers don’t care what words are formed on the screen, nor are they bothered about the sentences… if the meaning in those would hurt someone or make someone … Continue reading 17/30 | Fingers | National Poetry Month 2018

So many wonderful evenings have become ashes of memories and I have taken those memories and woven amazing nightmares. Not to be scared, but to feel safe as there is nothing worse than bad memories; You cannot escape them, and they cannot escape you… you are bound by an umbilical cord, but in between all this chaos of thoughts… you can find a space to … Continue reading 16/30 | Nightmare | NATIONAL POETRY MONTH 2018
