Within

The stars that connect the sky, 
the tides that weave the sea,
the pebbles that merge the shore,
the trees that mesh the forest,
the branches that link the trees, 
the leaves that entwine the branches,
the sun that lights the horizon,
the sky that paints the water,
the waters that survives the fish,
the fish that eats the seaweeds,
the seaweeds that carpets the rocks,
the rocks that protects the soil,
the soil that strengthens the roots,
the roots that keeps alive the trees, 
the trees that mesh the forest,
the forest that survives the big bears, leopards, and birds,
the birds that live on the worms,
the worms that protect the soil,
the soil that gives birth to crops,
the crops that survive the we,
the we that eat everything in this big, wild world,
the world in us is the world outside,
the outside that reflects the inside,
the inside that is abstract,
the abstract is opaque, yet translucent,
the translucence of the sun rays in a muddled dew drop at dawn,
the dawn that breaks the doom,
the doom that dwells within,
the within that is deep,
the deep that can just not be measure,
the measure of memory, 
the memories of the boundless inside out,
that inside out is what we call the universe.
For it is one, the one within.

As I was walking on the narrow pavements flooded with rain water near my college, I saw an old man with a heavily rimmed, almost broken pair of glasses just sticking to his nose. He was very feeble and exhausted of all spirit. He wore a tattered and almost brown dhoti and was barefoot, leaning on a stick. He sat on one corner and started to open his packet of food that he had luckily earnt for the day.  His hands terribly shook when he unwound the packet and by the time he opened it, half the food was spilt on the ground and he had just a bare minimum to fill his stomach with. He laid the packet slowly on the ground and started to eat it. Just as he was beginning to eat, there was a stray dog beside him lying on the hard floor. It seemed to be recently stoned in a terrible way, that it was even unable to move, it kept looking at his packet of food with yearning eyes. The old man looked at the dog, he stared at it quietly for a while, and then to my surprise, hi...

                                          CHAPTER 1 It was one of those days of monotony that Maureen had to spend. Sitting outside the office cabin of her boss, answering the ever- ringing phones, charting out schedules for his day, making arrangements for client meetings and lunch calls and such other things a secretary is paid to do. It was the eve of her first year of wedding anniversary and also the day when she is about to get paid for the month long mixed bag of work she had executed so perfectly. But her boss was quite rigid and insensitive. He never got to recognize the quality with which she executed her work. Long past eight, she returned home with her wallet full of fresh cash and a huge box of assorted gifts for her husband, whom she had been yearning to see. She had already missed the lunch date for that day, they had planned the previous day, bec...

Keeping up the everlasting bond

It was early in the morning, I was packing my things to move in to our new dream home on the shores of an island. Yes, we were moving out of India, to a dream destination we have always been talking about when we were into a relationship. Samyukt had managed to get his work station transferred to the Maldives. I was happily packing, shoving away my school and college stuff that had been laid out in my chest of memories. I wanted to pack what was very dear to me and college stuff was absolute trash. As I was discarding the things in the chest one by one, I happened to lay my hands on my slam book and a yellowed photo album which had been neglected for over 6 years. I opened the album to see the 70 cheering faces of my class happily glancing at me. Well, I was one of them, accompanied by my then-best-friend Reeta. I happily had my hands wrapped over her shoulders and hers on mine. The days of our absolute intimacy, the days of our endless riots into the restroom to bunk classes...
