'... But to get blown by boisterous breezeSoaked in fish curry with folks and a feeling so familyTo read the piles and piles waiting print-fresh, to be touched and lovedTo chat up so many who must wonder why I don't feel like saying helloA day that must meet deadlines of things you like a beggar wish of othersFor a walk by a park you don't know and never wouldFor watching leaves at their dance and wishing you could too over wine and good old romance, or a storyteller stellar.A d(...)'

I don't go there anymore

'The Door. Shot by Swati Chandra in Benaras.I don't go there anymore. But I'm led.When the right calls come at the wrong time.In music beautiful, background disturbedWhen the bottle shatters itself from my handsIn a moment beastly but splinters so beautifulOne sharp, one scary, but all shining with sure loveCrashing to the ground. Hurting. Spurting. Leaving. Coming back.To make peace and more. And the next day, in someone else's door scribbled with someone else's thoughts t(...)'

'; ;;;Here I am, my laptop sitting atop a lush green leaf-shaped maton the dining table, the mud craft clock showing a 10.40am – too late to be doingthis *guilt pang*. Google is a bunch of blossoms, my husband has gone to playcricket in the grass fields, and on my mind is a thank you to Zedathon for urging me to do what I shouldhave done without a poke from them.As a child, I wrote for the best environmental magazine intown, perhaps in India, with a motivatio(...)'

To believe

'Why can’t I Why don’t IWhat’s wrongNo, nothing is.The skies are hazy todayBut the heart’s crystal clearI know.It’s just ‘fun’With the bad stuff? No, none.What if I’m not part of it once a while?What if it’s other things that bring a smile?Why can’t I kill this cynic forever, once and for all?Why o when it’s spring, do I keep fearing the fall?Subscribe in a reader'

Why?

'In seven beautiful daysWhy do I feel like writing about that one miserable night?In an infallible eternity of faithOf that fleeting moment of doubt?In that wish to stay foreverOf that one moment when I want to escape? In that ‘beyond’ belongingOf a strange estrangementWhen I judge my life most harshly as the heart pounds loud, questioning itselfBut the ifs and buts stand no chanceFor the morning must take care of this monsterSubscribe in a reader'
