Happy Diwali Everyone!

Light your hearts

and fight the darkness.

that lies within you

and in the house of that lesser fortunate.

Open your heart

and spread the sweetness.

of love and joy

happiness everywhere.

Garland your door

but be that flower

which fragrances every hand it touches.

Change your robe

and wear that smile

clothes gets old but soul stays

Come on let's make someone happy today!

If you cannot become

a reason of someone happiness

lest you should not be

a cause of their pain.

The world takes whatever you give,

only to give to you back.

Life is boomerang,

it may reflect

Be careful of flowers

that you throw in air.

Spread some joy

and spend some time

Money is anyways

exchange hands always.

Have a Great Diwali and Illuminate your heart with love, respect, truth and appreciation for all.

She thought to bring some colours

in her otherwise vapid life.

and stepped down to adjoining plaza

and booked herself an appointment

After two hours of an in-salon session,

rapid discussion on styling arrangement.

she finally got her hair done

in a mahogany and purple plum

She fixed the volume with hair mousse 

and left them loose.

in their bouncy stance.

happy about this new transformation

she sang her way back to home.

cooked the meals

cleaned the house.

set an environment for her spouse

and waited impatiently for his return.

He came with a sullen head

tired and dropped dead

on the adjoining sofa 

where she was seated

she smiled at him and greeted.

It seems he did notice

and looked at her with sarcastic malice

and mocked her "hippy" tresses

she rose to the kitchen

hiding her tears behind slicing the onions

cursing the moment she decided to dress

took a band and tailed her mess.

Her bubble was broken

she cursed her decision

and wonder why she can't be

as good looking as other women.

The divine statue

in its true radiance and glory

was submerged in the water,

full of chaotic Rasp

that the sea behold.

They chanted the songs of hymn,

and danced on the Rhythm of the Dholaki,

dressed in their festival fineries.

bidding adieu to the Goddess,

in the ghats of dust and swarm.

The sea, the river, the holy water

witnesses the wreckage,

the colourful lead package

and the debris of men's devotion.

Year after year.

in silent mourn.


____________

Hey, men Spare that! Find a creative solution. Let your devotion lead the aspirations and not contaminate the holy water with leads. Remember, Rivers are also goddesses, they are the mother which supports our existence on this planet.

This Halloween

what do you plan

same old pumpkin jacket

or a devil with a long scar?

Go sexy or scary

asking for trick or treat.

Halloween is all yours

Live up to its gimmick.

Get perky, get notable

do something commendable.

Do whatever, 

be whoever

but pull no string

and do not be a soldier

cause we live in times,

in an era

where a soldier is not a martyr 

but an oddball doing a paid duty,

a duty way to feeble 

over a waging actor.

In a country full of fools

where art has no boundary,

terror has no responsibility

but solidarity is a missing virtue,

an uneconomical territory

conspicuous by its absence

True, art has no boundary but Integrity and Humanity are above art!
