This post has been published by me as a part of Blog-a-Ton 58 ; the fifty-eighth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. In association with ​Saravana Kumar Murugan , the editor of Shades Of Life book series . Refugee Refugee is a person forced to leave his/her country, home, area and the things he loved. Return of #BlogATon58 and #Aativas50 should have encouraged me to right something celebratory but when there is no hope for return nothing could be celebrated. Not only the world, our country and also social media platforms are full of people who forced others to leave because they didn't like their presence. This poem is written in solidarity with all refugees and I hope someday they will definitely return.   Fighter planes, tanks, guns, missiles, missing loved ones in debris piles, left the soil,left the home,left money under the sun, homeless,loveless, no place to return.

What's your identity? YOU are hiding behind veils of Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, Judaism, Jainism, Spirituality, Who are you? What's your identity? This secret I found, I found that secret, when I rummage inside my heart. You were no where but everywhere, depends on what view for you we adhere. You are none but an impression of our heart, told to us as a secret from...

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . Silent Must Be Heard It is very shameful that a country which worship women shows negligible respect to them. Acid attacks, gang rape,domestic violence, female foeticide ,dowry deaths ,etc are still rampant in our country on large school. Government agencies are acting as mere spectators. Moreover our social setup is such that victims get victimized and remain silent but as we know a silence is worth thousand words. Their silence worth thousand words  Their silence everyday hurts, Their silence mocking traditions, Their silence clearing illusions*. With this poem I have tried to bring out pain which many girls and women silently suffers :  1. Aah........     She screamed inside.     Once mo...

When you followed silly girls, and they gave you a slap, You committed daily mistakes,  and I hid your crap When you hit a boundary, I cheered you in crowd, you needed some help, but never shared your doubt, During that time of hormonal overturn,I was sure  the page will turn. When you joined the army, page did turned, you expressed your love, but never returned. War snatched my eve...

'Communal Violence' is such a storm which unlike natural storm devastate not only humans but also humanity. A wave of cruelty comes which breach the trust among close neighbors of years. I have tried to depict the night after that storm in my poem here in this post. Burned houses,broken walls, Uncountable in wells falls, Tattered clothes,battered stalls, Rests with the night after the storm. Abort unborn,orphan infants, Raped girls,homeless tenants, Widows carrying child stagnant, Remains with the night after the storm. Lifeless bodies,food-less alive, Yearning babies,futile strive, Killers of humanity just thrive, Results with the night after the storm. False promises,pretense...

Be mine for always, like sun's sun-rays, Let my life shine in your Love's glare, Everything is fair,when love is in the air. I have seen some dreams, of togetherness extreme, To live with only you or for death prepare, As everything is fair,when love is in the air. How differently I purpose, all talks have same course, To keep you in front of me and for lifetime stare. As everything is fair,when love is in the air. ...

The theme for the month is "The Woman on Platform Number 10" The Woman On Platform Number Ten Still I remember the day when, I met the woman on platform number 10. Few years back,in the month of July, I was at station waiting for my train, Going to meet a client which on me rely, It was twenty passed ten,when rain began, The place was silent except sound of thunders, Draped in white salwar-kameez with red border, Came she grabbing attention of me and few vendors, A mesmerising wet beauty of top order, She came and sit beside me on bench, Smiled,greeted and asked my name, Sweet voice,her style in my heart made a love trench, Sure was I that she was feeling the same, First time I don't blame railw...
