When the Gulmohars bloom

The Gulmohars bloom
When love flowers
in the heart of a chaste lass,
forlorn in a dream of her own.
Her passion intensifies
the shade of crimson red.
Her innocence contrasts
the near green and far blue.
The pastel of colour mix
reflects her dreams.
Love, passion and pangs
nourishes the flame!
As she looks at the tree,
they both sigh in a hushed tone;
a love story begins.
A never- ending connivance
A secret bond
A myth to live for ages.
When the Gulmohars bloom
Love has blossomed its first shower
in a heart that beats
in a rhythm that only she knows
how to hide, and not to seek.
The Gulmohars have bloomed
The horizon turns red
And she smiles beneath its branches.

Red signal

The light turned red.From a distant land,shot into reality,Sam applied the brakes.The black Scorpio's tyres screeched.Friction held it back.The dark lanky traffic police looked uncomfortable with a 'who the hell man' look.Sam took a deep breath. "I have no regrets.why should I?",Sam kept on telling himself.He searched his pockets for a cigarette and got one.He lighted it and took a puff.He felt a wave of relaxation soothening his tired muscles. The light turned green.Feet on accelerator.20..40..60...80km/hr..The Scorpio zoomed.Straight roads lay ahead.No traffic to bother him much.But just one thought.Should he go back?Should he appologize?Should he seek one more chance?He pressed harder. Chances come hard.She is leaving. "Amy is leaving the town."The accelerator almost kissed the metal. "Amy is leaving." The memories of Amy,once a force behind his being, was a 'parasite' feeding his thoughts. "We have parted.Now why should I bothe...

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 ...
