Last Train to the Past

Tomorrow I should organise my thoughts.
One box for the transience
and one for all that related to conscience
One for her and one for her and one for her!
One for it.
Infinite such tomorrows have gone by
and by all probability go by.
Yet tomorrow might be the day;
when dark things might stop crawling into my bed sheets
when migraines of yore might be washed ashore never to come again.
Don’t wake me up rudely, I hate when people startle me
And you friendly ghost don’t you dare boo at me.
For all who live inside the walls of my room
 I have stopped talking to you.
Strangers in my dream god bless you, you may go.
I run towards sleep the only saviour
When the sticky violet hands of the night chase
to tear open my heart to reveal the dawn with streaks of blood.
Clueless I ask the stranger on the side
“Mister, when does the last train to the past leave?’’
I have some unfinished business there.

The Song of my life…………

Even when I pass into a trance and  forget my very existence and doubt the entire universe that I carefully built around me. I keep hearing some music, I don’t know the notes by-heart But it is familiar, it is something which is eternal. The music from my soul, the music which never fades, Full of life, hope and joy, it resounds from the depth of my heart. Dragging me into the familiar feeling of comfort, warmth No matter where I am lost in the cold, bleak desert of life. It is a different fact that I cannot see the players, Neither can I sing along but I shall remain alive as long as the song is played. It is that energy that asks me carry on when I think of sitting Asks me, to hope when I give up, to live when I think of dying It used to hurt me that it comes from a far away place and I am not there where it is played But now I realize all that matters is the beauty of the song and not the singer. I have learnt that even if the song is being sung for someone else – it is ok. ...

Chennai (Un)friendly?

No matter how much I try to forgive the ethnocentric North Indian, he goes a step further which forces to me extend my patience by another level. One thing is for sure North Indian will never understand the linguistic attachment of the Tamizhs. For them it is as bad as a separatist movement. I can understand that they never have had the need to defend their language but that does not ever mean that whoever does is wrong. To rate a city, a culture, a race as being unfriendly on this one aspect that they don’t talk your mother tongue is nothing but a gargantuan misjudgment. Well I am surprised that how people manage to defend it. Let us set some facts clear here: 1.        Tamizh is not a regional language, it is the official language in three countries(India, Sri Lanka, Singapore) which makes it more international than any other language in India (Hindi-Urdu – 2 countries, Bengali – 2 countries) 2.        Chennai is not one of t...
