One Ring To Rule Them All

A sportsperson focusing on the event—
not obsessed with results,
demonstrating sporting spirit,
Anyone doing their karma—
regardless of results,
as characterized in Indian scriptures,
notably the Gita—
All...

Generic Heartwarming Christmas Movie

before we’ve even seen the first bits of snow,
the Christmas movies are flooding our screens,

Long lost in the deserts of weariness,
Wants to flee from a life of denial, 
Wallows no less still in piles of warm ash,
 
And feeling hurt, he nurses hidden strife,...
