Mandate......

Yesterday was the day before the People's Day.
They will have the power to rise against the atrocities,corruptions and crimes.
And against the lunatic,impostor mandarins.
They will have the power to choose the man for the people,by the people and to the people.
Will the incumbent be toppled?Will it be a change of colour?Will it be a shift of paradigm?
The people will decide.

But yesterday was not like the other days.
The streets were relatively less crowded & calm too.
The Gunmen had taken over.
Their stoic faces and automatic killer weapons raised doubts among the passers by.
The lovers who walk the same street day to day were not feeling easy.
They were talking in sotto voice.Something was causing a tremor inside them.
It was raining and the cacophony of the thunder tranformed the ambiance gloomy.
Was it a sense of premonition or was it symbolizing the strength of people and the change?
The time will tell whether the people have been strangled or they have won.

great one ........ the fear has taken over the land ....... voice of the people is getting muffled ..with none the loudest ...... fear prevails ... fear of uncertainty ... fear of the unknown ... our society is so multicultural ... our politics are an embodiment of that at the national level ... just hope .... India Prevails ! the demography of our society is changing ... and none for the better ...... let regional biases be squashed aside and a nationalistic tide sweep over our country ....... let India be One.... let us be united against crime ,poverty .. and all other ailments of this land... we need to unite ... stand together ...... or divided we shall fall !

great one mate ...... ;-) :-)

What an apt masterpiece...

and timely too...

politically correct as you are... I too hail the biggest democratic exercise on this planet...


And let regionalism ( minus the bitter sentiments ) define the course of multi-faceted nationalism..

let the voices of people be heard..

as they cry in unison...

and DJ...

Sometimes the woman is the only man!!!

three cheers!!

riddles...??

Why does the Nature unleash Her fury and unveil the miseries? Who is the Omnipotent?Who makes us to cringe and we feel so defenseless at times? What the heck Science do?And the Satellites? What is there in literature while people remain illiterate mostly? Why some kids tiff over the candyfloss while some others ordeal is to fill their tummies? What is there in the late-night jives while the street children cannot sleep? And their cries remain unheard,neglected? Why the glittering sky-scrapers shine holding their heads high while the thousands of shelter are inundated? What is essential in the big-screen TV and MTV tantrums while the house-hold maid is being raped? Do the people elate when their leaders recriminate? Why romance is ephemeral?And the twilight? Why the guns are so immaculate? And the brave hearts fight till kingdom comes? Why my cigarette burns down so quickly? And the thoughts...they die? " There’s a big a big hard sun beating on the big people in the big hard world...

The Guitar in Unison....

It was one evening like other evenings that I was having a cigarette sitting on a step, I was looking at the workaholic men,at the neon-bathed city streets.The traffic lights were going red in a fine rythm.There were endless cars,eardrum torturing noises,voises.One or two vagabonds,crackheads were doing some caricatures of their own. I saw a man carrying a suitcase with him ordered for a tea from the tea-seller in front of me.Suddenly two skeleton structures came out of the dark.They grabbed the gentleman's costly pant with their rough,coal-black hands.They gestured for something.I think it was for Money.They could not speak because they have been starving and they didn't have the energy.Quite strangely the man didn't pay heed to those half-dead,empty-stomach children.I thought he'd plenty and could throw some.But he didn't.He had his tea,shrugged his legs and walked away beleagueredly.Strange.The two 'creatures' disappeared into the darkness. I took a lungf...

Untitled

A sheer joy when I opened the trapdoor in silence,in concealed footsteps. What I saw was a Sunset in a new dimension. A broader sky.A canvas painted by some anonymous. Marvellous. I could not peep through the concrete wall though. I was little. Words insinuated 'cause they forbade me. A 'juvenile delinquent' in their eyes. They scared me of Monsters.But they didn't appear before me. I believe they lied or the Monsters did let me go. I can climb up to the highest part of the roof now. I can feel the whisperings of the wind. Conjuration of the clouds.Nodding tree branches. They say this is a waste of time. But I feel myself cogent. If I was given to fly,I promise,I would get home at dusk with the quarrelling flock of Gulls. And walk on the roads as directed.
