Smile that Masks

Smile that Masks

Every smile that she bore Masked some emotions and fears.  Behind it, lay a plethora of,  Unspoken words and feelings.  Her soul remained sealed Beneath the deceptive smile you see.  The mirror was her soul sister,  As she revealed the bruises to her.  Some external,...

Autumn Learnings

Ashoka’s Atonement

The battlefield bore a deserted look,  With lifeless bodies strewn all over.  Some were sans heads and some sans limbs.  The mud was soaked in blood,  Not sure whose it was though.  The mighty king of Kalinga,  Stepped out to check the field.  All he could hear was...

I dreamt about Mr. Ganguly Trying to smash a googly. Wondered if it would be a six, Oh! We both were in a fix. Hey, I then saw Mr. Sachin, Who, after a ton raised his chin, He hit awesome cover drives And kept the game alive. Then came my dear Dravid, Juicy half...
