Chalk Dust and Stardust
Amidst the chaos of chalk and dreams deferred,
We ask ourselves, where can we find the spark
In this labyrinth of rote and rigid words?
The burden we bear, a future stark
We've trudged through dusty classrooms, yearning
For wisdom...

Schools are Changing
Gates once locked with poverty's rust
now swing on golden hinges
Every child a key-holder:
the girl whose fingers paint light from darkness,
the boy who dreams in mother tongues and thinks in mathematics,
wheels spinning stories across threshold stones.

Ministry of Joy
In marble halls,
thick folders breathe vision for children,
policies unfurling like morning lotus,
each page a petal
promising sunshine in distant classrooms.
Fluorescent lights hum above conference tables,
where signatures bloom into budget lines,
and happiness becomes...

His Kingdom Come His Will Be Done
In the winds, old histories tossed,
To speak of it, freedom that’s lost,
From the hill tops Dostoevsky screams aloud,
Lost their God indeed, the proud.
Much can’t say but, tis I tell,
Where is this, that conflicts...

Girl At the Creek
Exciting walk; barefoot on warm rock while cold spring water
burbles past me. “Hey! over here.” she calls.
A puppet, my instinct guides me there again;
Creek ends in dark green pond. “Hi” I answer.
My body tingles...

My Mother -My Goddess

Those who serve others selflessly with love and dedication,
Those who constantly smile through all trials and tribulations,
Those who lead a life of near perfection,
Yet are humble in disposition,
Of God, they are a personification.

An Ode To the Lands I Call Home
Sitting here at my desk
Two hundred meters above
I watch the bustle of life below.
The slow moving traffic, the crowd at lunch-time
Pedestrians at the traffic lights
Heavy blue-black glass blocks towering to the skies.
In this austere...

Living a Vibrant Life
I was like a fallen autumn leaf,
Withering beneath the banyan tree's boughs,
I know you might have forgotten.
The first day of Allahabad,
Now known as Prayagraj,
It marked my first hunger strike,
Within the university campus,
And my trembling hands...

Unused and dry— it left him fate to brood,
But clutched on still to Banyan roots that fell

Botanic
After a short run
The road takes a diversion :
A curvilinear path.
Throwing a long lush green shadow,
The woods devoid of sorrows
Invites the heavy down power.
I peep into my heart
Behold a guy of five-six years old
Collecting withered...
