songs of serendipity














the phoenix struggles
to rise yet again
in the trepidation of a brave new world
where monoliths charm
to unite in some megalithic dream

hope
serenaded by the fleeting songbird
lives rapturous
blissfully unaware
of nine lives
running out
in eons ahead …

shifted base

to the place that promises quality excellence, from cow to consumer

and lay low, turning almost into sedimentary rock...

another muted prayer

for reason,

creativity@work, did i say ?

the heartless moon stares
across a sea of shining black

while the relentless monotone

of ceaseless blacksmiths

hammer emotions

into begging bowls.


weary desires reach out

to stone the mirror

shattering reflections

to free shards of dreams

piercing my heart

in blue pain.


wisps of haze

escape tender wild lips

laced with the desire

of bitter nicotine

in erupting spirals

of dazzling tungsten.


searing songs of silence soothing

i penned so long ago

gazing the vista

of blossoms in sunshine

lingering waves of myriad mirages

in wavy curtains of spring rain;


that danced

in your brown eyes...

a mute prayer

for love,

in these times of strife…

Here n There...

MBBS in China advertisements appear no more. Kudos to the scrupulous Management at the Times Of India !

Using “MBBS in China” in a Google search continues to throw-up a long list of websites of unscrupulous agencies happily duping unsuspecting Indian students.

Remember seeing that hulk of a Amby or Matador minivan stripped and abandoned, rusting by the dusty roadside ? As we rush headlong into a “use and throw” (read “use and litter”) lifestyle, do i really care about recycling and disposing my waste in a manner that is environmentally sound ? The EU has norms even for disposing scrapped cars. In our dreaming-to-be-superpower desh, that is nothing short of a mirage !

The continuing saga of paradise lost

The festive traveling season is just round the corner. If you are visiting Thailand, please refrain from eating shark-fin soup. Shark “finning” is a controversial and wasteful fishery practice, driven by an ever-increasing population of the affluent, which conservationists are beginning to highlight
