Everyone

Everyone is an island
there are neither wings
nor paddles to cross
this ocean of fear!
Everyone is watching
there are neither words
nor voice of comfort!
Hang on tightly
onto the rainbow of hope
with the eyes shut
exult in the existence.

Minus the Victor and the Vanquished

The greed wears the cloaks
and the fires that it stokes;

while the innocents choke !

The age old stories repeat
The tragedies happen

To possess, or to wait and watch, or to let it go?

These three questions hold the key to the future

Momentary are the victories
And so are the defeats!

But the destructions remain forever

the scars on the face of earth

and in the heart of the collective consciousness

The victor and the vanquished

both leave the alley of dead.

Double shots Espresso

Coffee and me

From the West to the East

A couple of days more
I will take the wings
And leave behind the
smells and vibes
Up above the clouds
my precious time
will be drowned into the oblivion
a day of my life
will cease to exist…
Will you ever know
that I did this for you?

Umbrella

Yesterday while walking in the rain and strong winds, my umbrella blew in the wind direction. It was crazy and I laughed like crazy. At that time a teenager was walking alongside. He also started laughing. It was all laughter. Yet my fingers were numb due to the cold weather and icy wind. I was struggling with my umbrella while trying to straighten it. And then I saw the same youngster coming towards me. He was still laughing. He took my umbrella and pointed it along with the wind direction and the umbrella looked like an umbrella once again. He again laughed while I thanked him. I was thankful indeed. This small incident filled my heart with warmth for the people of this beautiful country.
