a temple on the hill
telling stories
as you sit beside
tales of ancient winds
and the darkest clouds
of kindness
born out of devotion
and of love
torn by civilization
of an odd child
who seeked a litte time
away from home.Labels: cloud, hill

Portrait of a neighbour
Thursday, August 7, 2008

'Its a new place', she says, very different from the green valley that surrounds my home in Coorg. The tarmac ain't even but the street dogs are friendly and there are still vacant spaces for a game after school. I prefer to go dancing in the evening than take tuitions at Meera aunty's. But I join her later to talk to friends and finish my homework.
The streets feel deserted at night. The lights dont reach the ground because of the honge trees. There is always a strange feeling that something else existed here.

of trinkets lost
on dried river bed
a longing to fetch
but a fear of water
that has befriended the drizzle
a hazy outline of a ficus
mature and motherly
who promises to wait
until she returns.Labels: river, tree, unfamiliar
Ulsoor morning
3 August 2008.

It was a morning of pleasant surprises at every turn as I lazily strolled through the narrow streets of Ulsoor wanting to feel lost. The thresholds were just washed and a few hurried
rangolis drawn, the heavy teak doors left slightly ajar expecting the milkman perhaps, little noise except that of the radio and the sweet aromas of an early morning breakfast flooding the streets. Cramped in between well inhabited two storey narrow residential towers were homes that had seemed to have given up- the mud plaster had melted exposing the thin ancient bricks, tiles that no longer held symmetry, faded name plates of the past occupants and doors that were heavily chained to keep off the nosy passer-by.
