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.

At every corner, she glimpsed him. Through the mist, she saw his figure, looking at her, the love in his eyes never fading. She tightened her grip on 'his' hand, her love, and glanced back. Sometimes she wonders, was it true? What he believed in. Whether she was his princess. But, she lost that moment. And she lived in her present, and the past, a mirage. Nothing could change her love for 'him'. She looked into 'his' eyes and all her inhibitions disappeared. She didn't hear the soft crunch of leaves behind her. She was too occupied with her love, her beliefs, with 'him'. She didn't see him steal glances at her. And sometimes, he lost her again, in the mist, in the blur, in the obscurity.  But he always found her, for his love for her burned in his heart, a bright flame. She gave him the key to his freedom, but he flung it away. He chose his way of life, he wanted to chase her forever. He would never give up. His incessant pursuit fascinated her, ...

In the Fabric of Evolution

Nothing was left untouched. Every stone was overturned, every grain of sand displaced. The monstrous beauty of the Earth transforming into a perfect haven for living organisms was a grand saga of evolution—an orchestration by the Unknown. As a child then, and an adult now, my timeless reverie has been to envision this orchestration—to witness how the Earth journeyed from the most hostile to the most hospitable. I have, time and again, tried to comprehend evolution and the mysterious forces that harmonized to weave the very fabric of life. As I grew, I found myself entangled in the same fabric of evolution—fulfilling its purpose. I began to see how I, too, evolved through the people who crossed my path, the events that unfolded, and the moments that shaped me. Everything seemed to work in silent precision, scripting the being I was meant to become. Should I resist it—or embrace it? I find resistance meaningless, for everything appears perfectly programmed by time and space. Can I truly ...

Hindolam: Ṡ

WE danced till the world slipped into an oblivion of our presence.  WE drank wine till the sun turned black.   WE forgot who we were and transformed into the purest form of creation.  I knew, then, I died and reincarnated into all of your desires, happiness, sorrows, fears, ecstasy, and forms of beings.  “Where will you find me after?” your lips quivered.  “You are everywhere” I said.
