A FAREWELL TO MY 20 RUPEES COLA CAN




 Empty benches in the park at the seashore awaits the anticipated lovers.
Trees, willow, pines, almonds,
and many unnamed awaits the lovers too.
Evenings are the most beautiful days of our life.
Trees and corners keep the secret of age old love story.
The trustworthy and silent partners of every love stories.
 Zephyr kisses me with its freshness
and hugs me with the love of all lovers.
Innocence of kids makes the evening more loveable.
Anonymity becomes excitement.
Children marry the anonymity of their world.
Sound of their laugh, tears for their wantings,
Murmuring of lovers, deals of bussiness men,
songs of singing birds, rhythm of waves,
romance of couples, wooing of boys, laughs of peers,
wisdom of old age, crunching of fallen leaves,
dancing of trees, silence of the lonely in the midst of plenty,
and the hugs and kisses of zephyr for all and for me.
 A can of cola in my hands, left when it became empty inside.
 Day is getting late and the sound of evening getting more.
Endless end of the mighty waters,
Lights on trees coloured leaves blue,
red, yellow, violet, white, orange, and a mix of all.
Eyes felt a wet.
Tears on the corners of my defining eyes stagnated,
 Hesitating to drop it went back somewhere.
I don't know what caused the water in my eyes,
Sound of my silence being alienated from
the midst of plenty around me, may be.
Or the unconscious realization of being inside the structure
of structures and systems,
Or the unconscious marriage of the conscious
 with the realities that make me or I make,
I forget me, sometimes .
But I meet me when I am alone in the midst of plenty,
My reality exists inside the structure where I am,
not outside where my fiction, god (Nature).
Do I create them or they create me?
Nothing can exist alone, so both of those 'things' play.
Academic processes are getting over, exams,
seminars, discussions,and everything possibly inside the academic family.
Mine is partly over.
And away from the matrix of discourses,
 I exist with 'my composed realities' that make me strange,
numb, blind, deaf, and a new born baby
with another 'composed realities' to welcome a world of 'events'
where I also become an event.
Theories and philosophies I married,
discourses I conceived, 'composed academic structural realities' I delivered - will they survive when I shift my structural platforms?
 I fear what's next?
Where are my theories and philosophies I married?
'Texts' are written, life and events are texts, so written.
 I remember the text Bible - 'for everything that exists, already has been
 and everything that will, already is.'
Fear of shift is in my conscious mind,
and when I met me alone in the multitude on
 the seashore to the end of a day,
 my unconscious mind introduced my conscious mind.
My eyes are still wet, Zephyr hugs and kisses me through.
 I hear the sound of music,
 murmur, secret, laugh, smile, cry, fall, love, rest,
 anticipation, parting, inception, end, and the sound of silence.
 Everything remains the same, nothing is changed, but the 'realities around.'
A farewell to my 20 rupees cola can, I sucked the last drop of cola.
Walking back to my 'composed realities' from a platform of being nothing,
 I saw my 20 rupees cola can still loving the hugs and kisses of zephyr,
being nothing inside,
but graphically ornamented outside on the bench I existed.
A farewell to my 20 rupees cola can.

Hindolam: S

When someone is taken away from you, you realise how much you need that person. The universe took 'him' away from her and she wasn't ready to give up yet. She needed to get back to 'him', to her world. That was the only thought that crossed her mind, it consumed her. Her fear, perplexities and doubts vanished, this was the moment she figured out what she really wanted. She realised that she knew it all along. She loved 'him' so dearly that she wouldn't leave 'him' for anything in the world.  She told him, "I belong to 'him'. No matter how intensely you love me, I will love 'him', not you. Because it was a promise for a lifetime. Even death can't do us apart. Let me go. I have to go back to 'him'. I know I'm hurting you but 'he' needs me. And do you know how ardently I love and admire 'him'? As much as you love me, if not more. And 'he' loves me much more than that also. ” His moist eyes...

Rage

Rage, rage, rage! Rage unto the roaring skies and rob the mighty waves of light; And sound the clash of Titans. Bring me them in the arc, I shall drink them to the less. Ah, my Angels and Devils,  Rage unto the eternal fire and waters, I shall blow the west wind and chariot unto the Eastern skies. I carry the unquenched fire and sound the trumpet of war. They devoured Prometheus's liver, Defiled Hypatia upon Caesareum's altar, Stripped by oyster shells, Bathed in the blood of Jesus, the Nazarene. I bury them. Yes, I bury them. I see the reversal of the time-  Those who walk on land shall return to their origin. The slave of the past, Bearer of forefathers' sins, Shed your blood, find solace in your shadows, As they demand the return of your sins.           Show me your hands           For, they drop blood            and wipe the stains of sins they p...

Kundera

Emerging from the lampshade, a nocturnal butterfly fluttered erratically, startled by the sudden overhead light. As I closed the book, the strains of a distant piano and violin drifted weakly from below. Lost in contemplating the butterfly's flight patterns, I found myself entranced. Kundera, sensing my bewilderment, remarked on the rhythm, the highs and lows of the musical strains below. He spoke of the interconnectedness of each note, emphasizing how even the pauses between them contributed to the symphony's beauty. I was drawn to the profound silence, where a symphony was meticulously orchestrated. Interrupting my reverie, she snatched the book from my chest, exclaiming, "What are you reading?" I could only respond with an "Ah!"
