A dead elephant,

A dead elephant, 
Gnawed again and again, 
A few bones left but for a broken heart, 
Ask for it do the creatures of the sky, 
Nothing left to be given, 
For what could be given is all but given and lost, 

Bled does the heart, 
Of what is left of it 
Oozing out pain and more pain 
Life is sucked out let alone respect 
Nothing left to be done 
But let the creatures of the sky gnaw away 
What is left is what is left, 
To  the hearse or the heart matters but none to the ones in the graveyard..

A promised story..

What do you mean you do not know?. I meant what I said I...do....not..know.. How can you but not know... Well, you can sit there and keep asking me all the questions to which I know not the answers to. Or you can sit there and count the phonetics of the words.. either way.. I.. do..not...know... Asking questions were easier, but curiosity all around went too far in terms of what was known and what was unknown. †****************† Two friends met at a park after a long time. They eat and had a chat of lives of the world, lives of others universes and also their own. One was scarred, one undecided. Yet all there was was life, in its base form of survival and beyond. The park was a fairly large one. This was one of those Parks which was converted from a lake to a lake side park with business to boot and events to be done as well. Thankfully, apart from the lake (with some life in it) which was feeding ...

Mrutyunjaya

“Mrutyunjaya”- gasped a passerby when the boy moved by during the usual long walks. The usual influx of cheap and effective fitness bands did their trick of taking care of a lot of things. One of the things that they did not, were the gasps, sights and sounds that just were passing by the boy at times more than normalcy. He realized this was a result of an overtly imaginative mind and on top of it the annual plans of doing things including a trip playing themselves out as mirages in front of him. However, that would have to wait for now. Presently, a family squatted in front, at the end of the footpath. A motley group of family:  a middle aged couple, a not so old man and a bunch of surprisingly well behaved kids. And not to forget, heaps and heaps of bags. Add to it the sweltering heat of the plateau was taking a toll and playing out as a power tussle between the perceived couple. The boy, just getting out another mirage of eating/ binging of some hard core rasam rice came out t...

                                         Just coming along…. To begin with, the other day seems to be happening just again and again. Well not exactly in the BMTC buses nowadays, but rather everywhere. I admit, rather sheepishly, I too have been bitten by the mobile bug (read talking on the road). To start off, we just have to rest the argument of the other day for a while and just move to what has recently happened. Not just with me, or my friends or any other individual known to me. It is simply put the seasonal change for all of them. Not just them but the scores and scores of residents across the sub-continent. Yes, it is the Season that I am talking about. Seasons of multiple color’s which are as varied as the amendments to our con...
