Hail To Kali June 15, 2019
I hear bleat, laden with fear, from a temple not very far off. It is not in chorus a single sound that rips the heart as pity surrounds. An experience of sorrow perceiving the ritual I stay where I am with a heart pounding. The goat bathed walks to the altar with a garland of […]

I Am Done June 14, 2019
A partial sign out can be a surrender, could be a blunder, which one could be rarely do we know. I do this often, get caught in between, unable to find the way entangled I stay how long I do not know. That be the status I stay helpless allegations confront remain muted why so? […]

Praise To The Lord June 8, 2019
Clang go the temple bells, set an alert to the devotees, while the music flows to the drumbeats define the start is immediate there come the palanquins, the carriers lift forward, the silver chariot appears with a glitter, red, green and blue bulbs coordinate with the oil lamps the crowd grows ecstatic, as the Lord […]

Those Days —The Colonial Era June 6, 2019
my mother speaks to herselfas if in a reverie. I go past her, careful in movements, drag a chair close to her, knowingI can listen to an historical event. Mom often goes back,These moments throw a variety of experiences happy and sad. The rich culture of India, a spongeabsorbed the British ways, has become a worthy nothing. “The […]

It is Hari Raya. Celebrations bring happiness and concern. Hand shakes and greetings mark the day. Hari Raya Adlitifri […]

I Did Not Set Time June 4, 2019
I woke up to the sound of alarm. Knotting my brows, I wonder. How? I did not set time. Gone are the days when I jumped out of bed to oversee the chores. I am well past the days of hurry and worry, accustomed to relaxation, I rub my eyes. The shrill sound resonates. I […]

Never Will I June 2, 2019
Destined to live in countries, the mercury at heights, I turn cranky often. I live in two countries. one right on the equator. warm throughout the year. The other, a little above, in the tropics, with harsh summer and pleasant winter. I burn and fume, evaporate and froth, one of a disarray. Never will I […]

That Is How I Feel June 1, 2019
The work I do with the whole heart where I slog and score causes no commemoration. The responses go south, strings being pulled unmindful,down goes the cheer.

It Is Great To Be Kind May 30, 2019
That which will happen none can say. Even Nostradamus can go wrong. Weather forecasts are undependable Exit polls in elections mislead. Medical emergencies unexpectedly become ordinary. Court verdicts turn farcical. Rain and sun, life and death, success and failure are not in our hands. A force acts from beyond from where no one knows. Kindness […]

Hari Raya Message May 28, 2019
Fasting and praying mark the month of Pusa. Remembering Allah and his deeds with prayers from the heart. Islam, a gentle religion. abounds with wisdom. Nowhere it talks of violence speaks most of love and forgiving. The world, at large, is under an onus. A stress which reflects fear and failure. The killing, suicide bombing […]
