actions

 

Did he not assume his thought and feeling outweighed all,

On that day he twisted facts, ignored truth and incited a #riot?

Why did I assume it mattered what I thought

And forgot that my action mattered most?

the one in the middle

 

For them, #elf_glory

must have been the light at the 

end of the tunnel. 


Just another traffic jam. 


But, in 30 minutes, 37 dead. 


It's the work of a god pissed off with all, they say.


The latter I am. The former? Hahaha if that's what you call the one in the middle.

a memory lost

 

I am the living dead to them. 


My eldest #sibling is a Dean in a famous University. The other is a doctor.


They avoid me now.


My father too. He used to talk about his third kid when I was rich and successful. Now, I'm a memory lost.


No point reminding people of that.

I do not caress

 

There is work till half past noon, upon that land so moodily fertile; I do not talk to the trees, that’s for the the loony; I do not caress the land or my woman; I #shovel, dig, deep, spit, sweat, curse with relief; I lie on top, breathing hard, resting in the shade.

far from home

 

After school, I went to a college far from home. I guess that last part was the operative part for me – far from home. There, I got to know the power of religion, caste, color, language, class and beliefs. I was not naïve. But the fervent, #radical and senseless grouping of youngsters, the youngest around seventeen and the oldest barely twenty two, was overwhelming. The main clubs were based on simple stuff like region or language. It was awful to see the crème de la crème of society enforce a tacit apartheid. The chanting at the campus temple seemed loud and combative, and the display of saffron or sandalwood paste just ostentatious. In that small campus village, the Christians’ orthodox Sunday school and the Muslims’ mandatory prayer meetings appeared resentful and vindictive. The left-leaning intelligentsia lived in their cuckoo-land, copycats, so obviously false but still fashionable. There was even a large snooty clique that followed Ayn Rand. In one way or the other, each group believed in their superiority and in subjugating others.

RIP

 

On Sunday, we tried matrimony,

By Wednesday, it became a #kerfuffle,

The #vexatious part was over by Friday,

We now rest in peace, forever, separate.

nonsense

 

To utter or not, 

That's not the real problem

When it's #codswallop.

Solitude's wrath

 

O wicked one! Why do you charm me so?

Life seems so light with its wish to join you,

But the gentle air alone caresses and beckons.


Memory slips away to that distant time

When with such a sight we delighted,

But now, your hand not in mine, I face Solitude’s #wrath.

2024 is 2023

 

2024 is 2023.

Just another name to give hope.

Woke up after a restless night. 

Cleaned. Read. Wrote.

Posted a true life story. 

Got less than 100 views. With likes less than 100% of that. 

Drove around town before lunch. Everyone seemed sleepy.

Slept till they called it 2025.

from '4% Deal'

 

At the Wedding of my Love

 

Stop! Raise your chaste lowered eyes,

On this altar feel as fever of forever need dies.

Burning our illicit love in that wedding fire,

Add blood, sweat, us naked raw to that #pyre.


Bid adieu to naughty love of life

I am now relation, my love, my wife.

 

Stop! Raise your chaste lowered eyes

You spies!
