The Heritage Which Knows No Boundary
When it comes to Indian heritage
Taj Mahal or Ajanta Caves is always
on tip of the tongue
next maybe the two epics
but there's more to this subcontinent.
We have a rich culture, everyone knows
but only few can go beyond prestigious monuments
and fewer beyond folk dances.
Something whose limit is till infinity,
where culture takes a new form
with every next kilometre,
is what makes it a rich diversity.
May it be Bharatanatyam,
or Manipuri
or lavani, bihu, ghoomar
these aren't just hand movements
but are stories of our culture
embellished with a colourful attire.
From the line drawings of Mithila art
to Puri's Jagannath Temple
from the dancing girl of Mohenjodaro to Tanjore Art
the number of tourists are evident
for their stories
or half story and half mystery,
becoming famous worldwide.
From namaskara
to swastik
and to keeping guests equivalent to God
is what our traditions teach.
Saree,
common to most religions,
adheres to the religious etiquette
and is the harbinger
of one of the oldest traditions.
So, this is a heritage
with plethora of shades
which conflate various cultures,
where bucolic streets
bring us closer to our traditions,
whose tales are beautiful with mysteries,
which violate scientific laws
and creates its own definition
why?
'cause it's India my dear
whose freedom and heritage
can't be defined within the boundaries of words.

21.03.2021A World Without Books
A world without books
reminds me of my school trip
to a nearby cave
where we were shown cave paintings
that took me back to the ancient epoch
of our ancestors
with no paper or ink
but artwork,
when stones were the pen
and rock caves the paper
with no letters or alphabets
but symbols and pictorials.
I read in my history book
about the bronze age,
the era of
clay tablets and papyrus
on which the characters were imprinted
with sharp stylus.
Parchments,
do you know
were made from animal membranes
and manuscripts were written on palm leaves.
Oh wait!
Do you remember gurukuls
of the vedic age,
when the teacher and the disciples
lived under the same roof
and had a sacred relation.
At those times
books existed in memories
and texts and vedas
were learnt word by word through listening.
So, a world without books
is of rock paintings,
of conveying through illustrations,
of painting the emotions
and learning through oral recitation.

09.02.2021If I were February
.
If I were February
I would februa
the brume of winter
And knock on the windows
Of the residence of spring
To make it wake.
If I were February
I would amass
the spring scents
To leave them near the daffodils
And make them savvy
of the spring's advent.
And if I were February
I would wait
For the fourteenth day,
And would propose
The spring
To be my valentine.

Faint tinges of pink, red, orange and yellow, make eye-catching graphics in the blue bed of white cloud pillows bestowing felicity to the eyes and reach the horizon. The Sun, the morning star, furnishes a heavenly tenderness in the hours of aureate sky.
The vista of the Sun at dawn and dusk are homogeneous, with the similar sight of yellow, orange hues but the distinctness lies when the rising conceals the darkness and the other conceals itself down the night.

T-H-E D-I-A-R-Y L-E-A-F
From breathing
Aromatic fragrances of roses
To inhaling
Hate-filled letters,
From being plucked with flowers
To present as a proposal
To fitting myself
betwixt the spaces of silently weeping paragraphs
From being the accessory
beneath jubiliant blossoms
To adorning
the crushed, faded petals.
In contrast to others of my kind
Grewing green and then yellow
To get detached
But not to be decayed in soil
Rather reading
The withered pages
Dressed with broken pieces of heart.
Unable to die, but only fade
Suffocating between pages
Carrying the word imprints on me,
Hearing the lullaby of memories.

In the garden of flowers flowering on mud, my eyes fell on the one which portrayed itself uniquely. No, it didn't grow on mud nor it required water, because It was budding on the soil of emotions and and was watered by words.
The flower was a poet, a forlorn flower with a distinct identity. Everyone praised its external beauty, appreciated the construct of its petals, leaves and stem. But none spotted the agony it concealed.
Its petals are colourful. One petal is red, symbolising heart, a broken one and with that broken heart it wrote the best definitions of love. Other painted yellow signifying fear, fear of loss, which grew when a beloved left, with which he erected the definitions of a loved one. Next a white petal, representing innocence, which availed the all and sundry to accomplish their positions.
But from the rear side it was wearing black, connoting death, death of love, death of feelings, death of trust and innocence leading to the rise of sentiments within.
Still the flower is joyfully floating on the zephyr, dancing with admirably lustrous wings of butterflies, singing with the birds and at the dark hour slept under the feeble rays of moonlight. This was happening because with the demise of his feelings, it turned void, refilling it with the nature's love.
/Voids are filled with darkness, better replace it/

In the afternoon of the autumn
I sat gazing through the window panel
At the yellow faded leaf,
The almost dead withered,
Hanging on fragile brown branch,
Lightly floating, sliding on the lap of air
Enjoying the gelid weather.
It was the last one left
The two others fell off a day before
Leaving the last one
Enjoying its solitary.
Its veins were visible
Notifying, its fell off is at hand.
Me who blames my loneliness
was stimulated
By this little consequence.
The lost reminiscences
Of once my special someone
Left me probing
In those unperformed faults,
Analysing what diverged our path.
But in this process
I forgot my present
Lost in the past,
Unintentionally harmed my future
Yes, memories were woven
To hold on forever
But the strings entangled to each other
And can't be refurbished.
I threw those knots
To not entangle my present in them.
//The mere act of nature
Enforced a change in me
To leave lose to past
And adore my loneliness//

Thanks a lot WN(my first repost)❤
01.12.2020. In
a
lonely state the
bygone dead memories
become alive. The feelings
inexplicable, once pulchritudinous
moments have become the cicatrix,
turning to the souvenir of our heartbreaks
and we were blended to become callous.
But instead of hurting the past wounds
in present, we have to cherish the colorful
days of now. Brooding at the lost gone days
of past, we inadvertently keep on loosing
the present jiffies. Past gets caged in us
& we are the prisoners of future, only
a time for ourselves is present to
to be joyous. If it gets lost
in the entangled knots
of thrown memories
the whole affairs
of losing will
again pave
way.
