An outsider walks into our home
begs for some water
and a little more

we talk sweet..all gaiety
our simplicity looks to him
like a golden opportunity

a moment of confrontation
between the family members
and he takes out his ghastly weapons

fetters us, tortures us..steals our wealth
our massive fortunes
amassed over years

with cries,blood and perspiration
our own abode
becomes a prison

we shout for mercy
he nods his head..
his ears shut with cotton buds

prolonged pain transforms into strength
an urge to fight
to restore self respect

lives are laid
sacrifices made
till we drive him out
one fine day

hence ensues the task
of putting back the bricks
to rebuild the ruined house

the glory of that hour
burns in every Indian's heart
that midnight's celebration
echoes in time..wide and far...

Today we hear it a little more strong.

Messy Homes

Spick and span That's what my home was When we were just two Without the kid  With the baby around  I had no time  To dewrinkle the sheets Or unknot the chimes  Then the kids grew up  And scattered stuff At all places possible Not certainly the right one  The guests gave looks That I refused to decipher When not an inch of sofa Seemed free to sit  I would just exclaim The kids you see! They smiled and consoled  But judgements never ceased  I would think to myself It will be fine someday When they grow up White carpets and glass vase!  Then they bid adieu  Their rooms emptied We were two again The house ,exquisite and clean  No littering , no colors on walls No wheels lying alongside the small car It's perfect and lifeless in this pretty dome I miss that messy home

Being in a college campus , I am reminded of the freedom that the mind enjoyed then. The possibilities, dreams ..all that we wanted from future..the uncertainty of everything. It was cool whether I realised it then, that's  a different matter.  Listening to lelo paisa lelo pyaar ..beautiful song. @IIM B for MCTP

Random night musings

  There is this phrase,  "Dimaag ki dahi banna". It is technically quite sound in a sense. Imagine your brain like a pot of milk. It is good but it's good only till you introduce half a teaspoonful curd starter into it. It can be any damn disturbing thought,  just a small morsel and then you see the metamorphosis. Slowly this small weird disturbing thought will convert the normal thing in your brain into curd, the whole content will become disturbing. But there are certain conditions to be followed 1. The brain should not be at peace when you give it the starter neither should it get cold fast while the fermentation is on. A highly lukewarm milk aka brain is essential. Keep it hot. Put it in casserole , that's better isolated from the influence of any cool air, positive ideas or sensible people. 2. Give it time. Sufficient time to rake past, present, future, dissect behavior of people, what they have done/not done. Once your brain gets that time it will curdle. ...
