Six Feet Under

Why do people let?
Corruption seep into
Their body, mind and soul

Where will they stash
Their ill-gotten gains
When every man's final destination
Is nothing but a hole

Standing Proud

Never mind if I have
Been stripped of every single leaf
I am grounded firmly
With the roots of my conviction
That ensure that I'll never
Ever be stripped of my dignity

Cutting Idea

When the world has done its utmost
To drive you around the bend
With its question, "Why"

That's the time to just take
A deep breath and  indulge
In a piping hot cuppa chai!

The Ultimate Religion

Among all the religions
Invented in the name of Gods
When will we realise that
Following them has no meaning
If we don't adhere to the one
Invented by a man.

The religion of peace.


The Man and the Sun

What a different world
This would be
If each of us walked its paths
As an apostle of peace

Concrete Jungle

In a city that is
Wildlife challenged
I guess I should
Thank my luck
That I have been able
To spot at least
A solitary duck


Monsoon Hopes

Now that this extended monsoon
Seems like it's here to stay
Here's to people buying
Their second umbrellas
Before it really goes away
