Once it started with a mild request It seemed impossible and a heart enquired in jest Loosening the bundle words- a wish tremulous Eager to spill the ink, without being emulous While sights gained the freedom to travel Wonder! There were many stories to unravel A simple hand learnt the cursive art All this while, the desire was in the heart One who dared to … Continue reading It Did Happen
When thoughts do not arise from a pure necessity, but predominantly from the interdependence between a complex common consciousness, then you do not have control over the way you perceive reality. Caught between a void and clamour for giving up freedom. -Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading What About Thoughts
I would nurture the feeble dreams Allow life to breathe some consciousness Souls would not blossom For lack of profundity in daily rigours Only shadows, weakening life Life gasping for air- some fresh air Communications- the art of misdirection Eloquent, but can rarely be trusted In an echo chamber of arrogance Pandering to deceitful ideologies Truth, we want truth- echoes everywhere Lack of it, or … Continue reading Looking for Something
Untrammelled journeys lead to surprising destinations A whispering of silence reveal many secrets Time leaves a soul alone; almost forgotten by a busy world Feels unfamiliar after a lengthy disconnect Past sacrifices itself in the present tranquillity Future dreams appear with cryptic messages Nothing startling after freeing the soul from obstinate time Unburdening opinions of mistaken identities A persistent battle of perceptions and avaricious deals … Continue reading Different Expectations
Some days appear cleaner- washed away by the overnight rain All the debris and worries; human misapprehensions and mistrusts Disappear, as the rains dream of a new beginning It may be gloomier and quieter, but how peaceful in stillness A difficult night washed by Providential rains looks like a child praying Even for a brief moment, the vagaries of humanity feels distant Now the innocent … Continue reading Some Clarity

The thinking culture then spreads like a powerful ripple and … Continue reading The Identity Struggles
If the characters are not ready before the curtain is raised They are seen communicating in wild gestures, the last-minute reminder Of the dialogues and positions, one has to take Some of the poseur’s fill-up the gaps to create a distraction What if the curtains were raised a little later Everything would have seemed different The stage will witness the transformation Various stages of a … Continue reading On the Stage
A morning diluted with an extra dosage of bitterness Its fate is decided by the incidents that a world experiences Throughout the night, of relentless pain on humanity Honey, for extra sweetness, crystallised and quite stubborn What yields of nature, of which humans too, have done? The weather, the patterns of cynical transformations Roots deprived of nutrition and the soil of ancient toil News knocks … Continue reading How it Starts
The banality of pushing my words between two contradictory sentences For they have metamorphosed to stubborn ideologies Running parallel, creating an intense field of confusion, a fatal chasm It won’t be a willing surrender, but a severe attraction to destroy my ideas What would be their fate clinging to the detrimental narratives? Learning how not to emulate and feeling caged by the platitudes Where feelings … Continue reading Unabated
I cannot work my way through the erratically shapeshifting labyrinth From the physical to the banal From reality to the pinnacle of absurdity From objectification through vacuous theories It is too much of a burden, a stressed job of being repetitive Which type of fortune can spring from that reality? The minds are being shaped by cultures of distinct patterns Constrained and urged to surrender … Continue reading Fortune
