A small colony; In a relatively smaller town of India. A child, reprimanded by his parents: “Look at your brother”, his father says. “Brilliant guy, 6 pointer in school final exams. He, unlike you, has a bright future. Why can’t you learn something from him”? A shoe; he is expected to fill Appears too big! … Continue reading Fitment
Sometimes life takes us on a path that is not charted by us. The supreme power guides, prods, pushes and directs us to go in directions that we may have never envisaged or planned. It is always a journey; in search of stability, comfort, happiness. Where do they actually reside? Bathed in golden glow Over … Continue reading Seeking
Man has travelled everywhere- From depths of the Pacific, To the vast emptiness of space, His footprint on lunar surface, Even beyond Pluto, his eyes gaze. The tiniest of organism, Cannot stay undetected. Man’s curiosity seeks them out, Under microscope they are then dissected. Tomes of information, Under command of one’s finger. Often high on … Continue reading Assistance

Spring and summer, Youthful and full of cheer, Had hitherto woven a tapestry of dreams. . Winter’s roughness, Now it has made an appearance. It’s harsh, sting laced winds, Sucking me to dryness. . Soon it will be time For me to wither, Adding another shade to autumn’s colours.… Continue reading Autumn | Goutam Dutta
A dream, That recurs, Fills my mind. Colours of the rainbow dance, Inside the kaleidoscope, Mixing and turning, Weaving patterns before my eyes. Colours flow, Sunlight trapped in gold, in the wide expanse of the river. Colours stop and stare, From a bright flower. They entice as they cover, The land in green expanse of … Continue reading Colours
Greed of humans. Unfettered growth. Mindless consumption. Race for possession. The era-anthropocene. Witness to destruction mindless. An approach, short-sighted. Its impact on environment Would reverberate. For the generation of future, Who knows what misery does await? If only there was hope- Of a green world. Of birds’ songs. Of fall and winter. Of spring and … Continue reading Green Future
If failures are the pillars of success, why are they looked upon with disdain? Who sits on judgment on a person’s failure? When will the world take cognizance of non-conformists? Why do rules framed by majority castigate the select few who are happy to just survive? Isn’t survival enough? What is the key to contentment? … Continue reading Random Thoughts
The saddest of heart Feels enthralled in presence of Nature’s varied hues Continue reading Mesmerising Nature
On some days, Thoughts come to haunt me. They come riding on wings Of the dry autumn breeze That is laced with snowy chill. Scattering the fallen yellowed leaves it comes, Kindling bygone days. My mind then goes into a whirl. Like waves of a turbulent sea, Memories rush in Crashing with fury Hurting, Stinging … Continue reading Repentance
Conversations! Yours and mine. Continues Even to this day. A lifetime of memories, So much to discuss. Every word Spins off a thought. Some more words; Spoken words, Some gestures, Knowing smiles and Comforting touch. Words carry us; Footfalls upon dewy grass. Twigs snap below our feet. Time elapses. Surrounding mist Soft on our shoulders. … Continue reading We Walk On
