Deluge Of Reality
A shower like rain enliven the dawn. Cool and pleasant the garden appears fresh and lively. The droplets on the flowers glitter like diamond, the leaves shine as emerald, emanating a soft silky reflection. As if in a trance I stand all the while holding to the gate without opening, with the keys. Th...

Paralyzing
A cousin of mine from Singapore calls at six in the morning, I am at the main door unlatching, She warns the mutation of the virus behaves with a vengeance, Stay home! I appreciate her concern, but at the same time the caution sends an alarm, Unable to go ahead with the chores, I stand mute. The sac...

Lush black hair silky and soft. dangles so pretty on my shoulders, enhance the skin colour granting a charm, I look fair and young. Losing little of the dark hue the hair lacks luster, still holds an intensity tied up like a bun rests quiet on the lower neck producing a maturity, I turn responsible,...

The End Of The World
Waves in the ocean rise up once most with froth and fury then fall down recede to the shore. The splutter, the splash the fall down with a thud are terrific to watch eliciting fear and awe. The first wave of the current pandemic, a mild infection took wings spread across the world turning deadly. Hu...

Another privileged cow is roaming free on the road, unmindful of of the bikes and cars that hoot and halt, with a bell around the neck, keeps on crossing. These creatures, revered in India as a personification of the Hindu Goddess, Lakshmi, relish a free from pelting to shoo status, not allowed to a...

Socrates
Socrates, as he is known, talks of his wisdom speaks of his knowledge with an air. Pride being his virtue he tells us of his reading the scriptures, A scholar of note helps him to understand. Knowing him well for the past years I suppress my surprise when one of his kin comes up with Socrates's vers...

Massaging my younger son's head with hot sesame oil I make the other two sit on the stools. The eldest one, dips his fingers into the bowl, Ouch! he cries. The second one runs to help his brother, he places his hand right in the middle. Screaming both of them half clad run out of the bathroom making...

A Bundle of Joy
Fascinated by a little boy, just eight ears old who jumps on the bed tumbles on the sofa climbs the steps in supersonic speed cycles even more faster. Fear and amazement place me in a piquancy. He is a bundle of joy to behold His eyes sparkle with mischief. Animated, he is, so to say, to contain him...

And even then of course, twice. He knocks twice nods twice bathes twice. Once, served twice the same breakfast he order...

On The Banks Of River Ganges River Ganges flows in silence, in its journey meets cross sections of people. Quietly provides solace, to the guilty, to the cruel, to those who feel for the misdoings.
