PERCEPTION PLATFORM

When you are a tech- addict.

One morning, i woke up, as usual, with a grudge face thinking when will i get enough sleep. I check my phone daily the first thing in the morning. Today when i stared at my phone, it just stared blank. Out of juice, empty battery. I always thought i am not like other human race. So very technology-not-addicted me decided to ignore phone for the whole day. I plugged it to charger and left. No…

He snored all night long

I couldn’t sleep, shut my eyes.

All 30 years of marriage

I scolded him for this.

Now that our bed is left 

With the burden of just me

And my thoughts and sigh..

Without his snoring and smell

I couldn’t sleep, shut my eyes.

He was dripping, away, slowly

Yet steady, like a water filled hour glass

With a hole, unwanted and painful

He knew his time was up.

Questions flew around him like

moth around a flame.

Like a cataract in soul,

Something was moving inside

vague, hazy an unclear.

A moan struck, in throat

never came out  cursing

nor did it dissolved to nothing.

It stood there, feeling the

warm, damp breath of mine.

C…

In love with a ghost

Blur, with body of fog

I loved her coldness,

mysterious voice, sliding pace

earthy smell, the way

she stare, blank and hollow.

I moved to touch her,

it was like catching a wind

I waited for mid-nights

to have her presence

You are insane, said the mortals

Our love will be immortal, I said.

Book with an unusual name- ANANT DOT COM

When i was young my mom told me to be honest, sincere and never say lies. But me what have i become. When i get hit by people accidently, when it really hurts i say i am ok, i am fine. When i get a not-so-good gift i say its good, i smile. I lie.

Sometimes being honest saying the truth is not good. It hurts people. The one who love the one who care. The world moves on in lies. Yet we say everyone…

Blurb – The Husband’s Secret

I had high expectations while i got this book. The plot was really good. It starts like this — “Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter…

Jerry Pinto : my inspirational writer

Jerry Pintois a Mumbai-based Indian writer of poetry and children’s fiction, as well as a journalist. I came across his work in ‘THE WEEK’ magazine. The first time i read his column, i was hooked. He had an amazing narration style. Simple but deep. Then after that each time when the magazine comes, Jerry’s column is the first read. Then years went by and somehow the magazine subscription ended.…

Blurb – The Immortals of Meluha

A book by Amish Tripathi, first one in the series of Shiva trilogy. I took two months to finish the book. The book starts by describing Shiva. FYI, Lord Shiva is worshiped as The God in Hindu religion. Born in that religion, the stories i heard about the Almighty Shiva was different. The Immortals of Meluha describes Shiva as a Tibetan tribal king who traveled to the city of Meluha and find out…

Last day after completing my 4th book of the year, i thought about my “bookaholicness”( i think i contributed a new word). I have a reading challenge of 50 books this year. I started reading before learning to read. When i was a toddler my mom gave me books to watch so that she can do her chores. I learned letters faster than normal kids. My dad was a reader so he gave me books mainly comics. I…

Shells broke, so did the music

in the flute, paused or still?

Glass got misty with breath.

Letters once written

random, was now visible.

Anticipated the smoke signal of dawn

Yet caught in the web of plight.

Blurb – The fault in our stars

I saw this book titled in many recommendations. So i called my cousin to get an idea about this book before buying. Her very own words were ” Two cancer kids falling in love” and i was like “ohh, too tragic and emotional, ehh?” and she told me to read it. I don’t like these sympathetic stories so i went online to see the goodreads rating and it had 4.3 rating. And i got the book.

This is a…

Live….Dream!!

Traveling the world, with him

i mumbled, ‘tell me, what you see,

not with naked eyes, but with your soul.’

My tongue tasted raw champagne

and corn beer, which made me remember

home, Christmas and womb warmth.

We walked through sands, bare foot, hands

making love, rocks and waves for

the zillionth time.

My mate whispered his love, stars and the

things sweet and sour. I hugged him

on the shore,…

The topic may suggest that this is a religious post. But let me tell you it’s not. The subject is vast enough to learn at a university. This is just a shortest form of it. Disclaimer, Yes, i am born and brought up in that religion. I believe that everyone should follow that they want. As an opinionated adult with brains each human being if want, can follow the religion they want. So to start with…
