Susan Jagannath my good friend, a best selling author of travelogue stories on Amazon posted a picture from one of her trips, a ‘cave temple’ and set me up to write a poem on it.
Abode
Late
A creative personalisation of cancerous growth as “Late”.
Bye Amma
My mother of four-score quietly crossed over to the other side(not Covid). Here is a short verse on this transition as “Bye Amma”.
Sleep
Have you seen a loved one slowly ebbing away? Here it is, the feelings versed in the poem ‘Sleep’.
..tomy
Dedicated to cancer survivors.
Lonely?
A digital painting by Aishwarya Vidhya Raghunath stirred the wordsmith in me. A brilliant rendition it is, of the darkness of fiery Corona red, the lonely quarantine nursed with love from afar and the golden sliver peeking, a sign of hope.
Here it is in verse form as “Lonely?”.
Thank you Aishwarya.
Phoren
“Indians prefer phoren to desi, no. So why not in vaccines too, thought some state govts, after all they have to be atmanirbhar, no.

Heartless
The apathy/insolence of the call for positivity material for upcoming ‘Mann ki baat’ was the trigger for this. God help us.
Offer
““..Covishield’s’ price for states have been reduced from ₹400 to ₹300 with immediate effect” said an announcement yesterday.
Hmmm, maybe if I wait, I will get 1+1 offer too( 2nd vaccination free if I take the first one).

B+
“In the world of software, some bugs(issues) are converted into features. Not because you don’t want to fix it, but it just turned out be an interesting use case.
Well, in the current scenario, tweets on issues related to pandemic, farmers protest et al were removed at the request of government by Twitter. No more bugs! Interesting nah, how we fix the problem. A B+ approach!
