Words activate something in me
even if I’m just thinking, not writing.
So I soon find myself back at the keyboard.
It seems that my life’s been a series of keyboards.
My motor’s always running—I idle fast.
But I’ve been untying my intellectual shoe-strings recently.
Dissociatively avoiding intellective pursuits,
and embracing entropy (since school ended).
It’s been relaxing—I’ve felt new to my body.
There’ve

Footprints of 2024
Dawn files gather here
Meeting notes and plans unfold
Like spring's first petals
Through corridors decisions
Flow swiftly as mountain streams flow
CSR dreams take shape
Schools transform day after day
Future's seeds now bloom
Virtual bridges span distances
While screens light paths forward now
ICMR tools bloom
Mental frameworks rise like dawn
Knowledge seeds take root
NIMHANS data flows deep now
While wisdom pools grow stronger
Research webinars
Light up

Strange happenings
Since my partner passed away,
Life has not been good,
Maybe it's my state of mind,
To be misunderstood.
But many situations would be simply understood,
It's when you know it's where abouts,
What's the likelihood.
So many of my items have moved from where they were,
A lack of concentration,
Or a sneaky saboteur.
I don't find

Snow Happenings
This year first snowfall of the season starts to cover the ground
Gently being released from the sky above barely making a sound
The morning commute sure to be a motorist plight
Having to dodge vehicles spinning out of control is not a pretty sight
Arriving at work stepping into the frigid morning air
Greeted with a barrage of snowballs

Dear Past,
I thank you for revealing life’s art,
For letting me taste its every part,
In pains, joys, words unkind or sweet,
You shaped me whole, made me complete.
Stronger now, forged by your embrace,
Wounds and scars adorn with grace,
Etched like art on canvas, body and soul,
Each story they tell, making me whole.
Those scars, in sorrow’s shadow born,
Became my drive,

The White House Happenings

And one granddaughter of the POTUS may not come in?

The Happenings
I study the backyard song birds
watch them come and go.
The birds are a happenstance,
they flicker in and out, die and return
but they themselves stay the same.
I sip my tea silently
My father used to slurp tea from a saucer;
we were poor enough to be easy going.
People in these apartments
live cheek to cheek.
The flush of a toilet

Bravado Staring Blank
One has no more fuel left in tank,
One more dare not give army tank,
With little air in tyres
Bravado of West tires,
Cracks seem to show in NATO rank.

Awesome Happenings
Awesome armies
the kings very own
We came here despite singing over burgles
Dustmen under contract
Lilies lay bleeding in black bags
We are still whistling
Chickens languishing in street
Actresses older than thought
give commandeering comedies
Tis the talk of the town
cuckold husbands straddling
the saddle of despair
