While I sit dormant and lethargically avoiding any activity, I feel everything inside me dancing like a refreshed athlete. When I travel in a 3-wheeler where around thirteen people are huddled like broiler chickens, I feel everything inside me flying with the speed of sound. When I sit inside my dark chamber trembling with each […]
Traveling to the National Capital in the State-run roadways-bus, I sit at the last window-seat adjacent to the exit gate. The journey spreads beyond 300 Km, wading through many towns, cities, and the countryside. Somewhere, a Myna sits on the high-voltage tower, standing unmoved, carrying the load of electricity through fields and lands. The sky […]
In the depths of acute and void silence, a continuum of languishing want makes its presence felt with the sound of feeble steps. Where there is nothing, I mean nothing, a singular identity hopes for a companion to whisper the depths of its yearning. In every stroke of sound called music, there is a demand […]
Away from that sultry existence where tastes, senses, feelings, emotions, savories, and elemental bindings play the upper hand, I enjoy the lotus posture with a soft smile swirling on my lips. The plane where I sit is leveled with the floating waves of gentle music that comes creeping from all the corners. There is a […]
(Inspired by a song of Jeff Oster) I march towards the Saturn who calls me from a distance with an enchanting sound. It sounds to my ears a call from my native place. It is deep, original, intriguing and curiosity-awakening. The density of this sound covers everything that my ears can hear. It is all-powerful […]
To be blessed with grace, the need of self-surrender is a must. But tell me, O heart! Is there any self that you have the authority to surrender? When everything already belongs to you, my Lord, then who am I to surrender or not to! The self that you ask me to surrender is already […]
On that peak, Where I went up to be alone with you, a distant call of birds welcomes me. It is strangely comforting to be with the unseen you. I sit there feeling your warmth and hearing the whispers of your breath. I feel you are almost touching me. Yet, there is this unique singularity […]
You made me to burn for quite a while in a sense of shame and self-negation. The silence of night spoke to me in whispers of your quiet denial. The morning opened its heart in songs of pain and separation. The sky loomed over my heart with a grim and crabbing air of your hope. […]
(Inspired by a song of Shambhu Vineberg) The sound fills the entire space around me. But, it is fragmented in pieces and is discontinuous—the notes do not get the backing they need to bind me. With feeble touches of their diminished powers, they receive interrupted attention from my being. Among the clamorous stimuli of such […]
(Inspired by a song of Diane Arkenstone) The sea is encompassing, yet, tightly secured for the still-unexplored aquatic kingdom that hides the untold mysteries beyond the ken of human understanding. It seems God keeps the treasures and secret-meetings with Mâyâ beneath the turbulence of water-surface where a gentle calm floats all around. Like a hidden […]
My mind, like a lazy and corrupted entity, has dragged my wisdom to the nether end. It never allowed me to rise above the imprudent and fleeting entanglements of this world. Yoke it like a mule to the cart of your service, my Lord, and with the whip of your all-conquering power, let me follow […]
Beyond that unending veil of ignorance, an unseen occupier sits comfortably with a subdued-smile swirling on its lips. It is the source of power—the driving force that initiates everything, yet, it takes no credits. There is no second one to whom it can show the ‘I got credits’ placard. It assumes a deep and genuine […]
Music, Why you seem to move through my inner being like if you own me from head to toe? Why you are the sound—having no form, no smell, no taste, no feeling; but an irresistible power that snares every cell and nerve? Why, as it seems, you meet me mentally and manage my moods? Every […]
During all those dark hours when my being just wanted to run away from elemental bindings, you held me tight with the blissful clutches of those unfailing words. When I felt alone like a solitary worm in the most remote anthill at the top of an abandoned mountain, you crept in from nowhere to accompany […]
Whom you would call the greatest loser on earth? One who has lost a piece of land; one who has lost some diamonds; one who has lost a place in higher ranks of the society; or the one who has lost his conviction, his self-belief, his self-confidence, his faith, and his aim? Whom you would […]
What are the words of a poet to me? Not more than the flowing combination of consonants and vowels put together to make a string that has no flowers woven through it. What are the songs of a musician to me? Not more than the sounding combination of notes and noises put together to make […]
