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!!

A Valentine's Day note!

  As I sit and sip my milk coffee in a hotel somewhere in the centre of mainland India, I switch on my thinking self. Yeah, I often do that, maybe I even overwork on that mode. But it is unusually working at this hour. Today is February 14th. Oh I know what your expression must have been (Ohhh is it???? We didn t know!!!). Hmm...that day of the year to flaunt your lover, declare your love and what not. Valentine's Day for me in all its glory has always disappointed. No lover, no roses, no gifts, nothing. Thanks to the person I am. Maybe I put across myself as a very boring person. Sighs apart, I don't know if I am one. The truth stares at me from the cream walls. I have never celebrated a Valentine's Day not because my ideology considers it anti national but for the simple truth that I never had one. I ask myself, So? I don't know what is biting me at the moment. Is it that today is Valentine's day or I have nobody to wish one or something else. I know, I have to w...

Granny..

   When we three sat on the sofa yesterday, I was reminded of once upon a time   where the equations were different. I took myself on a journey back in time    when I was nothing but a bundle in my mom's hands. I don't remember anything from those days   but photographs suffice-  Of a beautiful mom in cream saree, tired yet proud  and a 'once more beautiful' and 'then still beautiful'  Grand mom in all her grandness,holding us tight.   Years in motion,     Old Age on hunt, Grand mom fell prey. Freckles and Grey hair,    But still my adorable  SUPERMOM.         I see another shot from past,     of which I have memories.     On this same sofa,we sat a dozen years back     on my twentieth birthday. My mom hugged me tight   and my grand mom hugged me tighter. We made a lov...
