Queer Azadi Mumbai (QAM) 2012 : Do It Now!
Come on my queer,
Get in gear.
Gay prides just a month away,
Through the streets we want to play.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch,

Delirious Collision
Her soft pink fingers rose

F Off!
F off, you call this love?
you don’t know what it is to serenade

It glints, telling me…
I am so within your reach
Your nose ring is

Bandstand, the sea, the girl, coffee and me
Circa 2005: Bandstand in Bombay by the sea
I saw you accidentally enroute to grab coffee
The city and work were still very new to me

She is a natural born charmer;
Totally averse to me and …

Cannot accept you’ve moved on to another phase
