Let's beat around the damn bush

Let's beat around the damn bush
Let's not get so easily to the point
Let's for a moment forget the break
Let's pretend there never was a joint.

Brexit

Great Britain

Achhe Din

The monsoon has officially
Arrived in Ahmedabad
But the rains haven't
Like Achhe Din.

Intezzar Burai Ka

Achhe Din
Daal Tamatar Bin
Abki Baar
Intezzar
Burai Ka


अच्छे दिन
दाल टमाटर बिन
अबकी बार
इंतजार
बुराई का

Riddle seeking an answer

I can easily do it
So can, for that matter, you
Not easy though not to spot it
I am talking about what, where or who ?

And thus I do you bore

Wisdom of the day
Never leave your dog away
For he might want to bite
That which is out of sight
Like memories in store
And thus I do you bore.

I am often happy

I am often happy
And equally often sad
Soaking in the rain
Or stuck in it like mad.

Wah Kolkata

Wah Kolkata
Aah Kolkata
Jo raah nahin hai
Wo chah Kolkata.

वाह कोलकाता
आह कोलकाता
जो राह नहीं है
वो चाह कोलकाता

Just like that

Its lovely
To be ugly
Said he
Just like that
Yoon hee - यूँ  ही. 

Good grief !

I have decided to give up vice
Because you see its not so nice
To go after the same old stuff
I will be good and not so tough
On my desire to turn a new leaf
The vegetation around crying good grief !

When the going is easy

When the going is easy
It seems tough
To imagine
Otherwise
Hence we have it
Coming.

Proxies not allowed

Everyday is a lesson
In life
Of the need to attend
Proxies not allowed.

Life and Death

If life is to be had
Then death would have to come
What happens in-between
Is the sum
Of what is left behind
Cruel, indifferent, or kind.

The secret of the northernmost south

Wisdom comes scrambling to the dumb
Nerves happen real fast to the numb
When I elucidate open mouth
The secret of the northernmost south.

The city of yellow taxis

The city of yellow taxis, and shallow bores
Of shut windows, and open doors.

Summer songs

Summer songs
On a sunny day
Of the Ahmedabad kind
With nothing particular
In the mind.

Never ask a dreamer

Never ask a dreamer
To think
Never ask a sceptic
To wink
At a dream.

So lets say, I have something to say...

So lets say
I have something to say
And I say it
Having said
The former.
