Serene

Serene

The dawn breaks with Suprabhatam and Sahasranamam And a white carpet of kolam, Ushering in the day.   The aroma of filter coffee Filling the room, Was an unsaid alarm For me to wake up.   Brightly lit pooja room, With chandanam and camphor, Spreading their...

Parenthood

They waited for the day, With eagerness and tension, As there, their happiness did lay.   To all gods they did pray, To ensure their lives reached a contention, They waited for the day.   When natural ways didn't pay, They sought medical intervention, As...

The Feeling!!

The Feeling!!

The feeling of heart beat from within,  Surreal and ecstatic at the same time.  Ahhh.. Wait for the ten months to end, they said.    I still wondered why?  Won't that be a beautiful day? I thought.  Then I realized what they meant.    They needed a child, ...

The Bright Star

She gazed at the clear sky, Not traces of a cloud nor a star. The line moon smiled at her, And suddenly turned red.   Pain that she experienced, Was beyond words to explain. She felt blood gushing out, And she looked, teary eyed at the moon.   Now there was...

The Musings of a Fallen Leaf

The Musings of a Fallen Leaf

There i lay, Separated and alone. Desperate enough, To call someone my own.   Detached I was, From my home, And I now was, A building without a dome.   Tears trickles down my eyes  And drenched I was in it. Do I have a choice i wondered, Other than saying ‘I...
