The Fair

It is not so much about the poetry,
It is not that much about the felt!
It is also not about getting in touch
With the inner deeper self;

It is just a famed fair,
Yet, it took me back to the deeper core,
It made me rethink my raison d'ĂȘtre.
It reminded me about the "Spoke"
Once again and once more.

There was the rhythm of life
Around me.
There were naive smiles
All around.
There was the chance meeting
Of old friends.
And the music of life flowed.


I connected with my inner deeper self.
And again lived
For those four days....

Feel Like a Part of a Giant Wheel




Am I spoke on a giant wheel?

It turns and turns and turns...
In it's own predestined direction!
I live from the centre to the perimeter
Without a sense of direction,
Like a spoke!

I just hold on to my position
So as not to fall off!
Its a huge struggle to stay on
As a radius ?
But where is the light?

I feel like springing out -
Not knowing what holds me back
I frustrate!
Without the courage
Like a spoke held tight to its radius.

Or is it lethargy?
Like one in slumber?
Questions, Questions and Questions?
Its time to seek out some answers!

So let me go,
So let me fly,
So let me cry out
To the world
That I am just not a spoke
But one which gives form
To the giant wheel!
Give it shape and structure
And the very reason for its direction.


This is not a poem but a narrative of the drift which I am currently experiencing. But if it reads like a poem so be it. Written because I felt like writing it today!

Right and Wrong


The movement is right?!
The killings are wrong?!

The Patekar in Bengal is right?!
The Patekar in Gujrat is wrong?!

Communism in China is right?!
Communism in the jungle is wrong?!

Mass rape by the Machinery is right?!
Retaliation and protests are wrong?!

Homosexuality is right?!
The Quran says its wrong?!

US in Afghanistan is right?!
China's presence in Tibet is wrong?!

Arthur jail is right?!
Guantanamo is wrong?!

The ministry is right?!
The poor of Lalgarh are wrong?!

That generation was right?!
This generation is wrong?!

Who is right?
Who is wrong?



As usual I am drifting with my thoughts and some unanswered questions!
