BUD


A doe eyed bud,
Prancing with innocent smile,
Dreamt She of conquering world,
With her prowess of act.

 Proved her worth amongst many,
Glittered She with bling and shine,
In the coloured screen day and night,
Her laughter evoked joy,
Her cries evoked pain,
Her tears evoked anger,
It was 'action' and 'cut' all the way,
Paradise of fame and accolade.

 Cupid struck and found love,
Heaven She felt was her life,
Whispered 'Betrayal' in her ears,
'Ditched and ditched will you be in love',
With anger She yelled at him,
Fell in love not once but twice and thrice,
It was 'Betrayal' all the way.

 Then She fell prey to the noose!
Unaware,
Life is precious,
And there is always a tact beyond love,
To defeat 'Betrayal' for his cunning vile.

BIHANGA [ the bird ]

Dancer Alokananda Roy's perseverance to train prisoners in dance forms and make them perform on stage. I am Bihanga, Spreading my wings, To reach the limitless sky, My wings undulate like waves, In rhythmic pace, I fly and fly, Freedom I cherish, My core sings, The joy of love, Finding happiness, Breathing the fragrance of being alive. Suddenly I realise, The four walls of concrete imprison me, A moment of madness, The knife slitted a throat, Fourteen long years in a cubical cell, Rotting in bug infested bed, Smelling filth in murky scum, Deliberating and deliberating, Had I died! Had I died! Then Bihanga happened! I danced and danced, Blemishes begin to fade, Pain I try to bear, Anger subsides, The applause makes me believe, I belong, I belong, No need to hide, Tears courage, 'Live your dream. You are Bihanga. Ahead you surge, In search of that strength, which will catapult you,  into the star fill

Charlie Chaplin I sit in oblivion, Under the foliage of Banyan. Staring at nothingness, Empty tumbler is my heart, Devoid of tears for so long, Dried are the eyelashes, Ready to be burnt, Lub dub lub dub, The sound so pronounced, 'You are alive not yet dead'. Inward I look to find, A hat on a stick on two big feet, Tapping with ease, Comedy transpires , 'Hey! Say cheese'! Eyes popped in amazement, The stick twirled and the hat bounced, 'Hey! Say cheese'! Laughter is nowhere near me, Pain has enslaved me, I gaze and gaze, ' A day without laughter is a day wasted,' Let laughter be the dictator, 'Nothing is permanent in this wicked world not even our tears', Let troubles die with tears of strength, Rise and rise, Thunder rolls, Rain splashes on me, Ringing inside me, 'To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it'. I laughed and cried, I laughed and cried, Never so hard

SHIVA

Mantra: Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to Lord Shiva) Fountain arise from a mass of matted hair, The jatta; captured was Goddess Ganga, Her pride was her tumultuous flow, Shattered; gently she flows with Bhagiratha, The pious king; washed the ashes of his ancestors in the holy Ganges for salvation. Divinity shines, The snake round his neck, Manifests evil courting death, Unaffected and unperturbed, Embraces light and darkness in eqanimity, The mountain of Kailash, His abode, The eternal yogi meditates, Nilkanth, the saviour, Swallowed poison; released, when the ocean of milk was churned with Vasuki, the king of snakes, as the rope. Kindness so profound, In company with lesser mortals, To instill a sense of belonging, Faith in complete surrender to God, Devotion he seeks, Wishes fulfilled when pleased with prayers from demons and humans alike. A woman's pride is his pride, Sati's humiliation was his disintegration, Bereaved by her death,
