The task

It is tough toil when conferred by a stare
Nonetheless it is worth an effort when the request comes from a gorgeous
So I walk a line escaping the scare behind
Heading for the rose when the world around me has lost ground
It is not that bad but what harm to paint when it is all black and white
All said life isn’t a battle of Troy
There’s place for all – the weak, the strong and the weird
And I do not need to magnify, when you see canny ruling the roost
It all seem just when Roland Emmerich destroyed the world in ‘2012’

Even in his youth, he demonstrated a startling awareness of social inequities, especially caste-based discrimination. He was disturbed by the humiliation of noble souls like Vidura, Ekalavya, and Karna, men of extraordinary merit who were sidelined due to their lineage. Suyodhana’s decisi...

The friend I lost

I still have the image; well those reminiscences are a distant past Though the memory are as fresh as the aroma of a filter coffee All I remember is the linger of being left in a limbo I have cried and blamed the friend for all my fall Once in a while, I see him smile on my back
