An Ode To My Rakhis

O’ Let me remember when I was twice at Eight On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan The day made me fabric Thousands of rakhis were created by magic! O’ Let me remember, how I wondered! Over my soul filled with joys While I gazed, my ten fingers filled with toys […]

To My Home Lost in History

I walk down the road To find that home that is synonymous with tranquillity To find that ‘home’ that seems lost in history Is it the one that is created on the bloodshed of Innumerable unsung heroes? Or is it hidden somewhere in the spaces of Distance and time that remain ignored   […]
