SONNET 24

Those sleepy shy dusks when perch on the cloudy sky
And hue of setting Sun reddens those clouds in west
The nomad tired bird then returns to his nest
Bringing silent tear drops to your eyes, once gone dry
And thunders make you guess that the heavens're set to cry.
The dreams that you had lost then seem like broken glass
As those rainy winds sweep by o'er the swaying grass
Like an insane wish to weep... An insane wish to die.


Dusky rains embrace soft earth steaming with each splash
Wet soil's fragrance fills the sky with wind's sedate pace
The coolness sooths your heart, yet warm tears wash your face
And lost in lurid dreams your latent longings lash


As slowly fragrance fades, those lonely midnights mourn
You reminisce, sob and seek monsoon's short sojourn...

LOST IN MY DAY-DREAMS...

Were I a small boy Time would be slow for me… Sitting beside the open window Lost in my day-dreams I would be smiling to me… And my father would be saying “If wishes were horses, Then beggars would ride…” But today I am not so small… The arrow of time Can’t reverse for me… It’s time to be in the race Lost in my day-dreams… I can’t feel My feet on the track!!! But still I hope… These days would end And the race would be over… And I would be dreaming at night…..

This is one of those rare posts whose titles don't give you enough idea on what's going on inside my mind. To tell you the truth I've never been to any hardware store to buy a weighing machine, though I've some experience of being weighed at school. To speak of being weighed at school, I must say all those who attend govt schools ( all of which provide educational services free of cost except for KVs ) are not that lucky enough to stand on a weighing machine as most of the schools don't have one. In fact in this post I'm going to tell you something on such a school which doesn't possess a weighing machine. In the city of Bhadrak, amongst its many old buildings and many new ones, there do exist some gray patches of thatch lying here and there in an irregular pattern. One of the biggest gray patches lies just opposite to our location, it's a tribal colony with huts of low mud walls, earthen floors and thinly thatched roofs . Almost all of its occupants...
