4 stray dog poems on love and loneliness

This road is not mine to take,
But to follow,
As destiny paves my way.

These streets know my name,
As I know theirs.
They have carried me near and afar;
Waved me goodbye when hope has called me,
And welcomed me upon returning with my shattered dreams.

One day, I will take to the skies,
Like the birds I watch from the stairs at the temple.
I will embrace the Forgotten ones,
Breathe life into the hearts of all human beings,
And make every road lead to Home.

The Artist Movie review

The Artist breathes fresh life into the dissonance of modern cinema by reliving the cinematic excellence of golden era. Sound; sometimes is but noise in the scheme of a screenplay that speaks for it self. The Artist showcases the bygone era in a light that is enigmatic & endearing; enchanting & entertaining! Weaved with a dream like essence, the movie outlives the details, paying a tribute to silent era with an eloquence of silence. This film may be silent but it is making emphatic cinematic noise this year at the Oscars!

Love s labor lost

Love’s labor lost…

And who knows for sure if salvation lies in recluse or lurks in love. For when you get too close to a person, the intimacy fades out the world.
I must confess I have never been a fan of ‘Valentines Day’. Earmarking a solitary day in the calendar for the most passionate emotion in the universe confirms that dollar has forayed into the cupid’s domain. Some of the most endearing tales I have known have had love as a perennial plot.

A friend from Deccan – an endearing dog

Migrating to a new city never comes easy; to some it is like erasing locus to an acquainted circle ─ streets, markets, familiar faces…one point at a time. Somewhere between unwinding to unfamiliar lands and embracing opportunities, one feels alienated. Some men (and women too, see I am not gender biased) are for sure an island but for others looking at a relation beyond the internet, there is always a friend in the waiting─ the dog!

Memories of my first pet of inkblots Rusty

Memories of my first pet…of inkblots & Rusty

It has been 13 years since Rusty, named after celebrated writer Ruskin Bond, marked her way into my life and with the very first ink pot that she spilled over the ruled notebook, she had me inked forever. Little had I known that the blots would seep through from my childhood to youth along with chords struck and comic books collected. Rusty has earmarked nearly every episode from my memory. The crests and troughs─ the jejune crushes, the fear of organic chemistry, the heights of jovial times and the ignominy of loss; she has been everywhere with me.
