Jenny or Jeanne (Let me know)



Sitting on a chair by her desk,
Jenny didn’t know what she felt…
Was it fear, anticipation or confusion?
You could say it was nothing,
She was just numb.
Tired of thinking and rethinking
all the same old things.
All that she wanted is to be
distracted from her thoughts…
Her mind…her- self….
Self  - who is Jenny?
Had Jenny lost herself
in a world so big?
Will we never find Jenny’s self?
Or had Jenny just evolved playing
her small part in a larger scene?
Had Jenny undergone a change inevitable?
Is it good? Is it bad?
If only you knew…
Would you let her know..oh..oh!




Standing there as the scintillating
rays of light met the horizon,
Jeanne knew what she felt.
She could put it in verses
So pristine, exquisite yet naïve.
You could say it’s nothing,
She was just lively.
Never tired of seeing or re-veiwing
All the same little things
which made life purposeful.
All she wanted was to let her
thoughts flow…be in her mind…
her soul…soul...who is Jeanne?
Did Jeanne know how lovely
a person she is?
Or did Jeanne know she could
Change a lot by just playing
her small part in a larger scene?
What do u think of Jeanne?
Is she real? Is she surreal?
If only you met her…
Would you let her know…oh…oh!

Who did you just meet?
Jenny or Jeanne?
What if I told you,
They are the same,
They are one, like
Two sides of a coin.
Would you believe me?
If only you did…

Would you let me know…oh…oh!

Vacuum Cleaner for thoughts

Mr.Blob is this dusty spot on the lens of my specs who is situated at an angle of elevation of forty-fucking-how-did-you-get-here degrees. He gets a real kick out of playing pee-ka-boo at obstructing my vision and sometimes getting on my nerves by making me squint to see properly. With time, I got used to him. I let him stay on and he became a part of the lens. On good days, when the sun rays hit Mr.Blob in the right mood, there would be a kaleidoscopic glare that I claimed to hate but if I were being completely honest I liked it quite a bit. Today, I picked up a cloth and an optical lens cleaner and wiped my lens clean, bidding goodbye to Mr.Blob. Having put this off for so long and so often, I must say this goodbye was long overdue. During the bus rides back home in the night, from project classes in final semester I would think about it frequently, this word, this degree, this designation – Engineer. It’s hard to explain the feeling it evoked. There was sure to be a h

Analogy / The Woodcutter

Not black, not white. On a greyscale, A shade more on the darker side. Light hearted clouds in camaraderie, out for a cotton candy break. Condensed molecules of vapour no longer weighing them down. A drop that claimed to be distant fell upon a leaf who believed his claim. Sparks of callous connection trudged deep. How, why, what or when are questions for entropy (to answer). Entropy - who took on the role of Cupid, for an evening. He resigned that post, that very night. They began to dance, a slow waltz. Orchestrated by winds - carefree and young. The raindrop making his way through her veins. Wondering if they were real, she gazed into his eyes. In the drop was a reflection of a different time. He had stopped listening while her insides were still singing. As unexpectedly as he'd come, he left too. Slipped away with the ease that fluids do. The leaf tried to justify her drop. ( hers, was he ? ) She did, for quite some time. One day she took off

Drapetomani

Deep and darkening galore of dilapidated sheds. Treading on diligent dullness, lives the man I call master. The grass on his side greener, the smile on his face familiar. Whiff of fresh paint. Built on an elevation is his decadent abode. To the door ajar, do my bovine eyes wander. “...a flood hits northern parts of...” “...but I still love you...” “...new version is available for just Rupees...” Disrupted voices boom from channels being switched listlessly, on a TV aged six. Here comes master says Dhena, the milch cow. Tethered to a pole, I am. Master's will, the halter around my neck. I am. Here comes master dragging along his baggy clothes. Here comes master wearing a hat as old as him. Circles I draw. Confined by certain circumference, I draw. Defined by length of rope of master's choosing, I withdraw. Babhru's ruminating. Wasn't much of a talker, that one. His kind, the ploughing ones usually aren't. Master's limp
