Yesterday I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I even went to sleep on the wrong side I think. On my way to drop my son at school in the morning, he was actively chatting as usual about some YouTube video he watched. It was about some YouTube talking about their wait time in restaurant. Like a total dick I told him … Continue reading Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?
Today I forgot to carry my earphones to the Gym. This means no podcasts, Music or Audio Books. But I observed something fascinating. I will always be listening to something. Driving. Cooking, chores at home, Gym, Walking.. You name it I will be listening to something. This also means that I will be totally unaware of the sounds in my surroundings. I hear so much … Continue reading 12/365 And then I listen more
I am not sure if I can ever reduce my life into a one moment in life that changed everything. Looking back I can probably stop at various junctures in life that seem decisive in the later part of life. One single moment, I don’t think so. But I have heard people say that there was this one moment, a chance meeting, a decision they … Continue reading What is that moment in life that changed everything?
We live in cities made in the eye of a village first blinding it of communities and then telling there is darkness. We live in cities made with the soul of mankind first ripping it off the body and then freezing it in time. We live in cities made out of skin of once alive animals first taming them to be friends and then skinning … Continue reading We live in cities – POEM #16 NATIONAL POETRY MONTH 2019

He said ‘NO’ is such a powerful word that only people with real purpose can say it. I laughed him off. But the words kept lingering in me. Over time I started looking at how … Continue reading Say ‘NO’ when you have to; And do it with Confidence
Wordsworth’s poem used the proverb ‘The child is the father of the man’. For many it denotes the unchanged man, about habits of childhood shaping the adult. For me it always reminds me of the little circles of life we complete before we get to a full circle… When I first wore my dad’s shoe and it perfectly fit me, it was one circle; when … Continue reading Circles of Life – Visiting my Home Town
When you stretch life between ‘There is nothing much you can do’ and ‘there a lot you have to do’; you will find that time and space kind of disappears and you are reduced into a single point from where you can go either ways. Throw it all in the ring and jump into it or just stop lean back and relax. Either way no … Continue reading The Art of being Lazy
A long journey in between deep sighs sun rising in a black sky somewhere in the milky way a small star cries flesh bored of burning decides to blossom there is history in between the teeth grinding under every grin that falls Today is a day for long walks days of dreams; so short… that they cannot reach the top shelves of reality Fake faces … Continue reading Please Make Way #76 of 365 Poems
I was on a Journey once with stops every hour. How did I travel? May be in a train, a car or a Bike. May be it was a motor boat, that stopped at every sight of something that belonged to the land; but was loitering or floating in my route. May be a bottle with a message. May be a ball that could not … Continue reading Journey – #37 of 365 Poems
Someone asked me what my truth is I had to say it is personal They asked me why is Truth Personal I said because it only matters to me “What about the people who love you” They asked “I love them” I said And I looked at him and went on Truth is personal and has nothing to do with love nor with hate, nor indifference Truth … Continue reading Our Life is a Lost Cause writing our own obituary
