You will always be tested,
twisted, moulded for your
self proclaimed limits
untill you cross them.

Kaash aap itne haseen na hote,
apko bhulana asaan ho jata....

People who claim
to be right in every aspect,
such self-proclaimed intellectuals
are the greatest idiots
you'll ever lay eyes on.

Self-proclaimed divine brutes
Tilak topi dadhi burqa 
Embellishment to delude 
The innocent faith of awam 


Stop! And scrutinize
You god-damn god man 
Does duplicity have a state 
Before God?

-

Never eye something
That makes you boast with pride about the 'I'.

-

As I am writing my book
I invariably add
Much more drama than needed
Forgetting that it's my life, still
And not a biography

They see me as a stupid and dumb man I may be dumb but you know what these self-proclaimed smart people don’t see?
Their own insecurities.

#A midnight letter #
My bad day turns into a good one
when the physiotherapist comes
calling and advices seventy two hours
of bed rest to an unresting woman
who nurses a sore lumbar region!
Ha! Seventy two hours? scoffs
the superwoman in me
for she is a package of her own -
a cook, driver, wife and mom,
etc, and, wait! a teacher, her profession.
How can the superwoman rest
while the world churns up and down?
Will the superwoman allow
her social conditioning to stand
in her way on health grounds?
She hobbles to the kitchen
explaining to herself that she isn't alone,
for out in the society are her likes
who are doing more than needed;
and, above all she isn't indispensable
for her absence won't be missed
when her eyes closes to the world.

Shelves with names, books arranged
A table, large and one that's not
A mess on both, disarray
Papers filled, part-filled
Some crumpled or halved
Mostly empty, unfilled or blanked
Coffee stained notebooks, post-its
A flask, water maybe or coffee
Cups filled with pens,
Used, unused, uncapped
A rose from Valentines lay across
And a memory attached, both dry
And a thinker, self proclaimed
In this writer's home
