My Demand

HP wants us to dream about the snazziest gadget we would like to have.
What I want is ideally an one-in-all contraption. A foldable monitor that is about an inch thick and has an inbuilt CPU, printer, scanner and speakers. The hard disk should have infinite memory.
It should be a no hassle machine and if any snag develops, it should go into a self repair mode and repair itself. Of course if any parts need to be sourced it should send the requisition to the source concerned and the part should be couriered instantly and replaced within an hour at the most. It should be capable of working at lightning speeds to download/upload and have an inbuilt camera of 12mp. It should be able to print out hi-res pictures instantly if need be.
Once I get this contraption I shall work on further inputs needed to fine tune it.

Yet again

The resurrection
of faith, happens every year
But dies soon enough

Festival

The monsoons are here
To quench the thirst of parched earth
Its festival time

Life in transit

The journey from the barber shop to the salon
From the joint family to the nuclear
Rural to urban
Riding on pathways to speeding on freeways
Radio to television
Playground to amusement parks
Travelling miles for conferences to videoconferencing
Has been fascinating
To see the world shrink
And relationships expand
With not much nostalgia time

Life altered

After the flash floods
As Leh struggles to move ahead
It is Life altered

Thank you Life!

The tender leaves
so fresh and green
Glisten in the early morning light
as the sun hastens its journey
from one end to another.

The vapour from the hot cup of coffee
Rises
To give the scene an aura
of mystery.

Love the way
your fingers knead skillfully
and ease my tired muscles
Am alive!

Rural dawn

Having a field day
Gobbling up the juicy worms
Are the early birds

I wonder

The cool breeze blew
but the excitement did not wane
The news that made the day
had temperatures rising
Unabated
I looked up at the moon
Shining there in solitary splendour
It seemed so innocent and playful
as it darted in and out
of the floating clouds
Had man really defiled it
By stepping there?

Monsoons

There is a cloudburst
satiating the parched earth
Life metamorphosed
