Forward step

 

These free minutes of dawn

Blow little flakes of light

Lining the mystique oblivion

With ribbons of gold

 

Lost in a blue horizon

Tendrils of smoke curl

Like children borne

By the wombs of sin

 

Their eyes sparkle

Radiant and fierce

Amongst the anonymous

Triggered by the slip of science 

 

As the fingers point

Accusation of sorts

The mistress of dilemma sleeps

Beneath a deathly peace

 

These forward steps

Towards the altar of forfeit

Tread the fragile path

To conceal life’s defeat

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...
