Legal: Part 1 (Past)
*Based on true events
The Past: India. I was 18 years old. On the verge of turning 19. Sitting at a coffee-shop in a large restored colonial bungalow that sold overpriced knick knacks and clothes on the inside. But the…

“It was winter dammit. December 2003!” She pushed me away and walked towards the couch. I had no choice but to follow her. She threw off her tee and sat on the couch with…

I came out of the shower. Scrubbed, Exfoliated, Shaved and Plucked to spanking smoothness. As I put on a pair of shorts, I was distracted – She was lying on my narrow bed. Reading.…

I am not renting my head space

She took out the map of Iceland and asked if I wanted to go for a drive…“Why Iceland ?” I asked. And I wasn’t surprised when she said “The hottest love has the coldest…
Breathe
I am going away
to get off your drug
of intoxication
before one more whiff blows my way.
Secrets
I’d met her for the first time one evening at a friend’s place. She was there – A friend of a friend of a friend. We laughed, we joked surrounded by many. It wasn’t just the two of us. Then I met her again and again and again. Still surrounded by a mass of humanity. And each time, I discovered something new about her that would make me smile when I got home.
Finding Her, Finding Me- Part II
I usually had the habit of blowing things way out of proportion; I read between the lines, I interpreted a gesture more than I should have. But not this. Here I knew I was way out of my league. So…
My Love
By night and day, the lady would sit and weave, my love
till Lancelot sang his ‘tirra lirra’ and she would leave, my love.
Now you say it was so easy for me to reach and wreck
your…
Missing
It was 8 o’clock and dark outside. There was no wind blowing and the body was tired from the run. That’s when it struck. The wave of longing. It suggested a dry yearning for someone out of reach. It had…
Finding Her, Finding Me
Later that night I dropped by her cubicle, to hand in my research. She was beyond doubt, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And it didn’t stop there.
Love Triangle : Part 1
She was the sporty kind who drove a red and black Hero Honda and and was always in T’s and jeans with a new pair of sneakers she had picked up in Dubai or Bangkok.
Iceland
I approached her with unsteady legs and a quivering smile. I am surprised that she doesn’t recognize me. What better way than to be strangers to reconcile! She told me that she works as a nude performer in the galleries of NY.
Spring
Broken hopes, unkept promises
Expanding void and the fall
This Is what I am left of you
Can love no other
Perhaps You know that too
Keeps you at peace
While I gather whatever little I can
Of you in…
Protecting
[Guest Poet: The Girl]
the storm erupts
in blue flashes
and giant drums
I fear
that you are out there in it
and I am safe
in ignorance
huddled by the flame

Rescue
i was drowning
you rescued me.
i had forgotten
what it was to laugh
that deep heartfelt laugh
you reminded me.
i didn’t know how
important it is
to feel truly loved
