  It’s a day people say Yeah, I’m so happy finally it’s a Sunday It’s a day kids say mom today I’ll go out and play The husband says today I’ll rest and relax And maybe later if I feel like, I’ll exercise and work on building my six pack I’ll also binge watch that Netflix show That I started not so long ago  Today’s I’ll call my college buddies Just to say hello But the lady of the house, she’s wise she knows Just how her every Sunday goes She cooks she cleans like any other day In addition to making special dishes her family says Nothing changes for her and her routine Except deciding if today she’s cooking beans or greens  And there’s piles of laundry to tackle in between So while her family rests and relaxes on weekends For her the routine never ends                                                         ...

  You've been lonely, I feel for you dear friend, I hear you, It's been a while, Where have you been, I missed you too, Break the silence, let's hear the words; let's have a talk, The woods are lush, hold my hand, let's go for a walk. Let's sit by the river, that bench waited for us too long,  Sun's shining, do you hear the waves; is your coffee too strong ? I know, the colors were missing; It's been grey for long,  Look, autumn's here, it's riot of colours; this is where we belong. Lie down with me, say nothing, hear the song of that thrush ? Listen to the wind rustling the leaves, the symphony of nature's hush, Let your feet touch the grass, let the dew heal those searing scars, Look up, there's a smiley on the clouds; oh, did you see those shooting stars? Snow is falling, it's cold; come inside, let's kindle that fire, Lean on me, tell me all your stories, your every desire, Pull a rug, let me put you to sleep; I’ll sing you a ...

Since your’s is the only smell that is indelibely etched on my memory, imagine if it wasn’t a pretty one. How traumatized I would have been. And nobody would have known too. What’s up with this kid, why is he scrunching his nose nose all the time? No answer. And it would all have been your fault, that you didn’t talcum yourself enough, or just ate too much masala. May be I would have ended up liking whatever you smelled like Ma. That is very likely too, but that would have been a travesty of a different kind though. Why does this kid never take a rinse? No answer. 😳!!  But you saved me all this trouble, by smelling “so nice” all the time. So thank you. Being the only girl child of doting parents, among five brothers, clearly you weren’t raised to cook food for 4 large hungry men in a household of limited means. But you valiantly fought and cooked day in and day out, nevertheless. And we didn’t help either. Neither by letting you know what we wanted to eat that evening, nor by stop...

  Universe is chaos. Ultimate, unbridled, unhinged chaos. Galaxies chewing each other out, Blackholes swallowing Star Systems and other Galaxies in entirety, leaving them in eternal state of suspended animation at the point of Singularity. Large Stars collapsing unto themselves and exploding into spectacular Supernova deaths. Meteors raining death and destruction on planets. Here on Earth,    predatory birds, animals, fish hunting down and eating other animals even while they are alive. Snatching them from their environmnet and asphixiating the life out of them. Even predatory plant species choking out others, at scale. Inside Earth’s core, angry molten lava swirling, seeking any weakness in the Earth’s crust to burst out via Volcanoes, raining furious death and destruction. Then there are Storms, Earthquakes and other natural disaster happening regularly. There is utter chaos. It is a perpetual never ceasing Tandav, a violent dance of death and destruction unleashed on b...
