The ashes of a sweet wonder tree

The ashes of a sweet wonder tree

With a foothill of the falling

Swept through the river of yesteryears

Slyly ushered into the depths of blue

 

Walking past the summer homes

The slight rise of the rustic leaves

An Indian afternoon in the island of hope

All the twigs crackling to a touch of fiery

 

Those who burn in wanton of warmth

By the rolls of endless yearns

Must be the notes that one hears as the midnight scream

When every aspiration draws the faded line

 

Lasting rails over the pebbled roads

Dreamily running into the paragraphs of troubled lives

Nested into the wilderness of the forgotten

Sharing a laugh with the faint muse in hiding

 

Barren with the longevity of closing time

An inner cadaver going up the stairs

This was an end thought to be pure

Of all the mistakes that were never proved

Music, A candy to an ailing heart

It was the early 90s. Life was just taking a turn as was India. One day it was the magic of Eddie Murphy, Tyra Banks and Michael Jackson. Magic Johnson hits the big drum and declares in a booming voice. It was a time to remember alright.. On a Sunday it was suddenly Eric Clapton who brought 'Tears in Heaven'. Was it Tears for Fears who said 'Everybody wants to rule the world?'. DesRee and Terence Trent Darby with the silken 'Delicate', 24 by 7 taking to you a fast paced 'Take me away", Bon Jovi keeping the faith, Guns N' Roses welcoming you to the jungle with Axl Rose's sexy hairdo in 'Yesterday'. It was then the beginning of the end for Kurt Cobain. Just as I was getting so hooked to the Seattle band he put a bullet through his head. Quick. I wrote an ode to the man. So did a few more million fans. India had stepped into liberalisation. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh had 'freed' India from License Raj Economy. The youth were ...

A poem for Usain Bolt-the fastest man on earth!

  Hey man! Wait up on the hill This day is running You are so charming What you got in those heels?   I know that you’re dancing Dreaming of all the things That catches your little eye Shining like a super star   Now that you are crowned A king upon the ring Where do you think you’re going? C’mon here, shine on me   Oh la la la la! La la la la! Tags: usain bolt poem 2008 olympics gold medalist fastest man on earth

The Love Guru

Scene:The Love Guru D R A M A, Oprah-Deepak Chopra, Guru Pitka's ashram, Rajneesh, Toronto maple leaves, Gnomes, Alligators-Snappy and quick, Nuts in a sling etc are the key words in the latesht Mike Myers buster 'The Loveeeeeeee Guru'. Watch it just for the sake of absurdity. Rent a DVD or wait for the movie channels to bring it to your homes but do watch it! Especially if you are from the South Asian community and want to have a dig at your own expense. The movie is silly and trivial but hilarious in pockets. The meeting between Jessica Alba and Mike Myers starts off with an old Bollywood song of reincarnation which is real cute, dolloped with a few vulgarly 'humur'ous sequences and an item number by the lead pair. Ben Kingsley is wasted in the role of Mike Myer and Deepak Chopra's teacher. It seemed like a spoof of sorts to cast the legendary actor in this role (probably referencing it to his role as MK Gandhi /Indian in the movie Gandhi) and make mockery o...
