Colours of Life

Every shade of colour,
every colour of shade;
for each moment in life,
there is one, just one that is made.

 O lights of colour, O colours of light;
thy memories shall never fade.
In you the world reflects,
In you I reflect upon the world.

 With pebbles of time, I fill my bag;
Some grey, some white, 
some so green yet out of sight.
Each moment is an epoch,
just as each colour is a shade.
Every man is what he fills his bag with,
Every truth, every dream, every lie and every myth.

 But then what is life,
if not a rhyme of colours,
and a colour in every rhyme.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill: The demon that it never was

The Citizenship Amendment Bill having occupied a prominent part of the political discourse in India in recent days has deservedly won its acronym, the CAB. Although, it has become one of those pieces of legislation which has been given interpretations beyond its scope and aims. It has become a vent for those who perennially believe that the Indian government has sinister motives at its heart and wants to make India a Hindu Rashtra. There is no denying that there is a section in the ruling dispensation that does want that, but the quintessential question is, as it always is, has the actions of the democratically elected and accountable government reflected those desires? People will agree to disagree on that question. My objection is not to that disagreement but to the overarching misinformation that is going around about the CAB. Usually, I do not attach much importance to the reporting of foreign media outlets on events in India, since they are filled with biases and oversimplificat...

The Lost Battle

Yes I have lost a battle but the path was hard and rough; The hurdles you put were too high for me, but did I try hard enough. I have lived through the journey but why are my hands empty. What have you given me, except for the pleasure of a slow agony. I am a simple man, Quite often I shall fall short; but should I stop there, Is it the last resort? Dear life, are you an unending journey, with glorious twists and turns; Or do you stop sometimes, like an tired traveller with an empty urn. Do you have the time, the leisure to look back at your bleeding footprints, or do you go on with your melancholic sprint. I am merely a man, the chains of affection and the thorns of dejection, have left me bleeding; But if winter is here, can spring be far behind. The mighty tides of time will rise; The invisible winds of change will blow, To me will they be kind?
