The Unsung Hero
There, in the erstwhile Travancore,
Lived Nangeli and Chirukandan.
A happy couple that they were,
But were bound to the rules of the Pravathiyar.*
Women, of the lower castes,
Couldn't cover their breasts,
Shouted the rule, oh! Wasn't that injust?

The Secret Mantra
Oft I wonder,
How do children manage to be happy?
They cry and weep,
But that's short lived.
They smile and laugh their hearts out,

On the snow clad branches,
Looked so calm and serene.

Which fills us with freshness and warmth.
We exhale our feelings, troubles
And our experiences,
As a process of venting out,
When we write a poem,
Which calms our mind,

Jugaad Saves the Day
Just as I thought I was done for the day,
My phone rang, scaring me away.
Guests were on their way,
Unannounced, but in gay.
All I had were some chapatis and onions,
And I got my companion.
Sliced them...
