Sandwich

-
As my teeth concaved into the
cream coloured mayonnaise,
the garlic and ginger paste
fused into the unknown intricacies
of taste buds
that were
watered heavily for a while.
Capsicum here, spring onion there
oriented leaves
disoriented crumbles
garden of green
churned into white
I felt like heaven
in the Garden of Eden.
Bed crust
burnt and brownish,
I felt like,
yes
Paradise Lost!!

Kochettan's 'chaya kada'

-
The smell of hot Samosas frying in the oil filled her with memories of a land she had long forgotten.The land of dreams,hopes,aspirations,laughter,smiles.Not to forget,the pain,tears,and wound it had left behind.The river in the picture, on the wall suddenly confluenced with the imagery in her mind of the still deep waters of Manimala.The days she had spent on the banks throwing pebbles at hoppers,creating ripples(any bum's delight)gave her an impetus to think further. All memories ushered in fresh thoughts and sour tears.The aroma of the piping hot masala tea filled her thoughts.Slowly,gradually she was sipping hot memories.There stood the small,yet happening place-Kochettan's 'chaya kada'.Home meant memories.Memories meant her village.Village meant Kochettan's 'chaya kada'. Her days started with a distant glance of the 'chayakada' from her room in the upper storey.She would peep out through the curtain at the shack, at the corner of the road.The ...

She walked and walked.Distance seemed diminutive.But,deep within, she had delved into miles of agony that was stocked in the last few days. Ahmm...a deep sigh. She could feel the burn in her eyes,the heaviness in her heart..the off-beat rhythm of life was consuming the being in her. Her legs could not hold her any more.She struggled a step or two and finally gave way to the physical intricacies that conspired with her mental tortures. She tried to sit,but her body competed hard and pulled her down. Slowly..slowly..slowly.. Her head touched the ground.The blackness of tar in front of her entered her eyes and filled her vision... People crowded around her. "Hey,somebody take her to a hospital." "Who is this?I haven't seen her before." "Excuse me,Have you seen the entire population before?",a silent thinker engrossed in his ever silent thoughts. Looks,glances,gapes,thoughts,counter thoughts. "Mummy,what happened to her?",tiny Ritika enquired. ...
