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!

Isn't it the Death of Capitalism?

Long & Short of It

Most of the short-term solutions become long-term problems.

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?

Opposite of Love

Oppositve of love is not hatred. No, not indifference. Opposite of love is utilitarian love.

Beingness

"I think, therefore I am," said René Descartes (1596–1650). I don't think, therefore I am.

On Second Thoughts

Married life is a very low price we are paying to avoid the mental, physical and social consequences of having more than one mate.

Punishment & Crime

Most of the time, crime precedes punishment. Naturally, the crime that follows will be unjust to the punishment. Another punishment follows. And the seesaw just can't stop.

There are two types of women - Miss Mystery and Mrs. Mystery. A Mr. has no mystery about him and there is no why.

Mad for Each Other

Made for each other? Yet to go miles before you weep. How about dropping that 'e for ego' for a try?
