The Display and The Read.

It is celebration,
navaratri or the nine nights
honour the Godess
while the Saturdays go
to make the day for Vishnu.

Each household has a Kolu
and every other read
Ramayana.

The month long festivities
is a divine compliment
with pujas and prayers.

A sort of entertainment
where the Gods and Goddess
participate with mirth.

It is a splendid splendour.

Scientific Progress April 18, 2018
The train chuckles into the terminal. I do not see the soot and black vapours. It is not the age old train as I expected a supersonic one racing ahead. Sticks around for a few moments. Accelerates The one resembles an aircraft. Shiny and elegant the train crosses unlike the primitive one. A wonderful course. The […]

Stately Homes April 17, 2018
The pictures of Gods and Goddesses on the walls send a shudder down the spine. A gallery could I say. The images are full of life dressed in the best, adorned with rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. Lakshmi sits on a lotus, Saraswathi plays the Veena, Meenakshi with a parrot in hand blesses. Benign and smiling […]

The Sculpture April 16, 2018
The sculpture of two cranes, capture my thought. One carries the head stiff could he be a male chauvinist? The other one bends her head down a demure female, I presume. Cannot it be otherwise? I challenge myself. Is pride masculine? Cannot a female command esteem? Are they to be forever inferior to the male? […]

The Pale Yellow Florets April 15, 2018
While opening the entrance door early in the morning, when the sun appears on the horizon with the sky pale and grey I smell something unusual. I go down the patio notice wetness in the ground.. Rains after a month and half, I dance around in glee. The pale yellow florets of the old Neem tree […]

The Line I Set (Revision) April 15, 2018
A line I draw an abstract demarcation, limits me much as possible a constraint, I dare to cross. The distinction is splendid as between a cliff and the lake one steep towards the sky the other on the flat level. A watchful entity. Conscious of the line I refrain from indulgence wish not to speak […]

It is Namaste April 13, 2018
A smile and a nod with a “namaste”, typical of Indians causes a banter among those who shake hands. That be the style of India, which does not entertain physical touch rests content with gestures gentle and gracious- folding the hands. The age old ethics goes on to the generations t who are westernised hold on […]

The Line I Set April 12, 2018
A line I draw, denotes a constraint. I dislike to cross. Stay far behind. Not a physical one, an imaginary demarcation, limits me as much as possible in activity and in communication. I am fine at all places manage a distance, respect to relation and friends a rule I create. I do not contemplate on […]

A Prompt Perhaps April 11, 2018
I wake up in the midnights sit on the bed for a while ” have not completed the homework,” I cry. “What did I not finish?” interrogation follows. Struggle to recollect. I fail. “How can I?” It is decades since, I graduated from school or college whatever might be. I smile. The unfinished duties show […]

The Shield Of Righteousness April 9, 2018
I cannot interpret, fail to identify what could it be? I speculate. The character is ambiguous. I eye him from an angle. The impression he suggests diverges from his self. He acts, assumes he is a saint, above judgment. He is a Satan. The world believes him, mean not the larger section that of his circle, […]
