Aping another organisation,
while bent on holding on to power,
the famous five shall carry on,
with no one to rein them on.

Bruises of many kinds
{
A bruised banana
in my kitchen,
Invites many an ant,
Up the wall, by the crack,
Reaching up to the soft crevice.

Knowing you my dear oxygen
{
Yesterday I felt what is it to be disabled.
You see I was working at the anaerobic work station.
What is that contraption you may ask.
For many a time, many others and I,
Have been in search of a place,
Where oxygen lacks its presence,
So that we can conduct our experiments,
In its absence.

Love and longing in life.
{
Words, though merely made of letters and shapes,
invoke feelings and emotions so strong;
Words are indeed powerful.
Pen is mightier than sword, it is said.
An injury caused by words is more hurtful than an injury caused by fire:
said Thiruvalluvar.

Sous le ciel de Paris

India’s per capita income is ~ 1500 USD and it is ~ 40,000 USD for France and UK. Continue reading “Sous le ciel de Paris”
Thoughts are like clouds: Part 2
Hawkers are not allowed to sell on the trains in the suburban trains in Bombay. There is a lady who regularly sells sarees. She gets caught one day and she pays a penalty of 400 Rupees (4GBP). This does not deter her. She continues doing her job as she has no other option. Eventually she manages to buy a flat in an apartment complex in the suburb of Bombay. Her dream is to send her kids to a English language school. I admire her entrepreneurial skills. If only more women have the courage like her.
Thoughts are like clouds: Part 1
Watching ‘The wings of desire’ the following thoughts just flowed through my mind. The sun does it job dutifully. The cicadas drown us in its monotonous noise in Campinas. Do the cicadas not have hearts ? What about the songs of the nightingales and the blue-jays ? The owls and the sparrows. Is this what is called as the monopoly in nature ?
- When did the notion of only bringing up one’s children arise ? Are we not children of the world ?
Ramblings of an evening mind
I see this tree outside my flat with magnificent yellow flowers. The flowers fertilise. The pods arrive. They hang precariously and at times, the wind knocks it down. The tree with its many hundred pods is unable to bear the heaviness. Is the tree like a mother ? The pods get swept away every morning by an old man with a long broom and a … Continue reading Ramblings of an evening mind
