Unknown


It's still unknown why a lot of people commit suicide
Like it's still unknown why a lot of people cling to life.

Wrong Enemies

To choose a wrong enemy is more dangerous than to choose a wrong friend.

Half-souls and Assholes

We assholes,
Send our children's halfsouls
Down the dirtiest drain
When we masturbate.

Sunlight, on Rainbow


Who named it her bow?
It’s my autobiography, not hers.

She just fell down, that’s all.

It’s my story – by becoming thinner than a silk thread and finer than dust, I take utmost care lest even a drop of her gets hurt – passing through her.

What’s more, even she herself is my autobiography.
From dawn to dusk I toil on the fields of sea,
Plough, sow seeds and water with sweat and finally reap the grains of rain.

And at nights, while lying down awaiting sleep,
Just for fun I let the memory of the day fall on that piece of broken mirror.
Oh, sick and boring romantics, you call it moonlight.

You always stumble upon names.
Look at the number of autobiographies I write.
None of them carry my name.
Going only by names, what all you read?
What all you learn?

Four Banana Skins


1.

Male-halves,
As if love of their life called for them from the other shore,
Jumped into the river,
For a moment,
To bang their heads on the rubber wall of the dam
To drift afloat as dead bodies.
For a moment.


2.

Eggs put to boil,
For a moment,
Took the first waves of the warming up water
As the love of their mother’s abdomen.
For a moment.

3.

Sprouted beans,
Before falling into the frying pan,
For a moment,
Dreamt of climbing up,
Reaching out green tentacles.
For a moment.

4.

And me,
While walking, thinking God gave bananas
Their three-zipped skin
For us to eat them neatly without
Smearing dirt from our hands,
For a moment,
Put a foot on a banana skin somebody thrown
And ah!

Plasma, Where are You?


love is like water, is tasteless but indispensable.
hatred is steam, will burn to kill.
yes, you guessed, indifference is ice, you can break your head, no feelings.
one and the same thing will seem to be three different things - water,
steam and ice. love, hatred and indifference.
when you break the ice of indifference, you get love. when you boil
love, you brew hatred. when you are bored of love, you become
indifferent.

they measure heat and cold of water, steam and ice with the same unit.
you can go ahead and measre love, hatred and indifference with the same unit.
how simpler than this does nature express illusion?

An Ode to the Urban Thirst


May the water in the river and the pipes that bring it be pure,

But if the overhead tank atop our houses where we bear the urban nights is impure,

Oh burning thirst, I wish if you fell down and died in this searing heat, along with me

An Ode to the Politics of Hair


It's alright when you sit on the head, in group.

But never fall down in a curry, alone.

Boom'erangs'


Every boom has an erang to follow.

Don't forget, when you make hill out of a pit,
You make two pits somwhere.
When you fill a gutter to build a wall,
You dig two new gutters.

Measuring Hatred and other Loves


They measure heat and cold by the same unit. Does that mean we measure love and hatred by the same unit? Even the ice-cold indifference? Love, water. Hatred, steam. Indifference, ice. Eh?

Business is...

Business is credit management. Capital? What is that? You become a successful businessman only if you learn all about rolling on other people's money and labour. Monkeys and donkeys will always be there. Have their keys and you are a winner.

Art of Bribing

Business is marketing, they say. And marketing is often art of bribing - art of bribing what, where, how and to whom. Most of the innnovations in business are also around them.
