A tuft

in the breeze – a tuft
of happy grass

At Heathrow July 25, 2017
My handloom cotton saree starched and pressed swings in the breeze. I walk to enter the queue of business class passengers at Heathrow. An officer directs me to another line. I fling my ticket. He declines. Annoyed, I join issue. The officer looks at me with disdain. His eyes give out his thoughts. Seem to … Continue reading At Heathrow →

Air India July 24, 2017
Unusual of the Maharaja, he hunches over.. His turban topples. The long moustache dyed black shimmers. He is an image for Air India, zooms high with a roar and disappears in the skies an allure for ages. He loses his prospect. The revenue faces a setback. He is up in the market. Lo! bidders are … Continue reading Air India →

500 white tulips shine in the night like a dull white bulb nature’s illumination a way modest and moderate by an unexpected wedding ceremony.

An Embark July 22, 2017
Allow us to come ashore. It is a state of opportunity. The reds are the origins. The whites move in stealth while the blacks arrive to serve, the yellow race engages in commerce, the browns plunge in to take up work, a medley of the colours and races regarded as heterogeneous converts into a synthesis analogous. … Continue reading An Embark →

The Texture July 21, 2017
Nature is divine Dense forests create an awe. Land, with its terrains ridges, gorges and lowlands leave us bewitched. Oceans and water forms display a blend of azure and present a backdrop. Humanity enlivens. The bustle and noise throughout the days, the movement across the globe for myriad reasons, the battles and bloodshed for demands … Continue reading Th […]

The Bamboo Basket July 19, 2017
I am fascinated by a basket, made of bamboo. I am crazy. It is a rectangular piece. Involves no intricate arrangements. Looks great. The weaves are uniform, dyed in vivid shades olive and coral. The handle is of bamboo plain and strong. The basket looks elegant. The dimensions and the environment-friendly organic material encharms. … Continue reading The B […]

Veda directs us to be modest. Urges to draw away from pleasures Life is temporal. Renunciate desire. Repose faith in God. Do we observe? Love thy neighbour as thyself. the Testament teaches. Do not tell lies. Forgive and forget. Christ’s call reverberates. Do we understand? The Prophet is kind. Pray five times a day. Kill not … Continue reading Vedas, Bible […]

To Please God July 16, 2017
The portals of the village temple stay washed and clean A billy goat walks in stride with an aurora. The black kid has no suspicion. Enjoys the parade. Folks make merry. A band plays. It sets up the mood. Looks an entertainment. The priest sprinkles turmeric water. Scared, Billy bleats, breaks and rushes away. … Continue reading To Please God →
