Valentine’s Day—-Haiku

It is Valentine
a spontaneous
one of love.

A courtly love
one of attraction
a romantic relationship

It is Valentine’s wish
an expression
from the heart

Not much known
in the east
a Western celebration

That Be Me October 14, 2018
Impatient I am on few occasions where anxiety kills me. I turn desperate. I pace up and down. Talk to myself. Ring up my pals. Destroy everyone’s peace. I am not so always. Known for my tolerance, ignore contradictions A Virtue I am proud of. Being passive proves disadvantageous. People take me for […]

Holidays October 13, 2018
Holidays are anyone’s love. For me they are to a place, a hill station, Coonoor year after year. Nothing can I say to mom and dad they being known for strictness to the end. The annual school year vacation, two months of April and May, I spent in the quiet town punctuated by […]

Navaratri October 11, 2018
The town is agog. It is festival time. Celebrations go on. Unmindful of incessant rains the puja is performed Nine nights of the year devoted to Goddesses of learning, of victory, of wealth, of benevolence a thematic presentation. Dolls of Gods, leaders, soldiers, poets, merchants dancing girls, find their places in the stepped dais. […]

I am Always At Home October 9, 2018
The schedule of the day, at home in the mornings outings in the evenings a contradiction of the regular, is how I live in this alien land. I should not say alien anymore as I live half the year or even excess in this country for over a decade. Of late, rains come at […]

Old Gives Way To New October 8, 2018
The old gives way to new. A symptom seen significant. The ancient gets behind. The ĺatest is in the limelight. Elders groan and cry hoarse. The youth revel and rejoice. A competition sets in. Not a healthy one at any level. The intolerance of the seniors confronts the irreverence of the juniors. There […]

Frustration October 7, 2018
Domestic chores tire me. At times I am disheveled. Throw the towel in exasperation. When will I be free? I am inconsolable. I turn indignant. Show my anger on doors, vessels. Bang the doors. Slam the pots, push the ladles. It is confusion. The vegetable stew burns, the potato fry is […]

Today October 5, 2018
It is too long a day, having got up early, unusual of me of recent. Am free with no responsibility. I have no school going children, nor do have any demand, rather any engagement important leisurely lethargic I have turned. Today, not significant, anyway I am up already, all set as if for […]

Birth October 4, 2018
A dog on the other side of the fence turns and rolls on the grass. Curious I watch her through an hedge. She is full. Find her tossing. Writhing in pain, perhaps. Feel it is the end stage of labour. Her eyes emit anger. I want to assist her. Scared, I dare not. […]

That Can Be Done October 3, 2018
I say to myself not once but many times. It is being a chorus I repeat on and off. Saying so I go ahead. Push myself to complete undergo a lot of strain. It is a practice that kills, plays havoc — a devastation. I try my best to come out. A discipline, […]

The Greatness. October 2, 2018
Hail to my mother tongue. Has words for every detail, every relationships, every feeling a rarity in other languages Uncles, maternal and paternal have different connotations, so do aunts, sisters and brothers elder and younger. Happiness, grief, take expressions deliver dramatics at times veiled in most circumstances interesting in a way. It […] […]
