"Some days when I am able to pick a pen and write, I know I have been blessed."~Savita

Welcome to my blog. In my quiet hours I seek to touch the depth of myself and my surroundings. My thoughts that take form of poetry are just the scratches on the surface of life as it reveals to me. Wrapped in a delicate veil of symbolism and ambiguity these verses and expressions also fulfill my desire to share a bit of my self with others. I hope reading them would be as enjoyable for you as writing them has been for me.

Let Winter Snowflakes Fall In Summer

Once in a while let the imagination run wild
Next to being silly it is the best solution
For an Imprisoned soul's nifty restitution.

From the narrow confines of human body
Let your mind take the flights of sonic boom
Upon the purple fancy's plumage gaudy.

Let Big Bang splash rays of violet
Upon the world of its own making
To grow mushrooms for rainbow hacking.

Brew your coffee under lightning while
Moon hides and giggles under sheets
And stars run to tingle the ivory ceiling.

Let winter snowflakes fall in summer
And sorrow's lava extinguish the ocean
In the game of life be a whimsical runner.

Best of all write for fun with no need to rhyme
And no need to excogitate
Let your mind be free and out of cage.

Random Thought 49 (Morning Reflection)


World still charms me as much
As the unexplored caves of self.
Here between faith and reason 
Swings my heart and mind.

Seeking For Unknown



In search of You I move around
The quest never seems to end.
A lost soul-
I am knocking on your door.

Worldly challenges I took
And accomplished what I could.
‘A little bit of everything
But a great deal of none.’

Emanating from various forms
And designs is your hidden face
Limited time I have to navigate
Through these million waves.

This seeking placed by You in human mind
Comes too in various forms and kinds
Evolves with nature’s demand 
On place and time.

What mattered yesterday 
Matters not today.
What matters today will soon 
Become a thing of past.

So I live with what matters to me most
A  day spent in peace reading poems.
It’s a day where search for You ends.
It has resemblance of Your hidden face.

Unfinished Task



This strange sense of unfulfilled task
Occupies my mind and spare time.
Standing behind a solid wall-
Not capable of breaking the barrier-
Not able to take next step-
I ponder over my inadequacies. 
An arrogant will not aware of limited capacity
Heeds not any wise counseling 
Flies high on waxed wings!

You who brought that light of life out from your dark womb
My restlessness to receive    that light
Peels away the norms of satisfactory life.
Darkness encircles me
My best is never enough
Even to cast a dim light
Upon the dark corners of my heart.
O! World O! life
This search, this cry seems imbecilic 
Yet this sense of unfinished business
Lingers in my broken bones.
Like a waterless Cloud with silvery skin 
And grey passions, I weather the storm.
This strange sense increases day by day
Even in dreams it doesn't leave. 
But a hope I cherish with each breath.
I hear the words inaudible 
Inciting me every morning-
Walk on roads unmarked
Stand at the edge of broken clouds
Search for ever new patterns 
Touch the faces unrecognizable. 
Across each writing that seems ambiguous and ill-legible
Feel the sense implied,
Connect with its  synergy
To find a way, to learn and to know what is hidden
Away from eyes.
Get rid of this diminished sense of worth
That vitiates you from living.
Be happy 
Be satisfied 
That you can still dream
Still walk 
And still explore.....
So take the next step.......
And move into unknown..... 
In the setting of evening sun
See the jagged clouds 
Dazzling like diamonds.

Nurture Your Desire To Know



This Universe is a classroom of endless teachings.
Spending time to learn about some thing 
That we like, gives us extreme satisfaction.
To know is a desire built in us- born with our first breath.
To focus and excel in a choice of learning is a cherished goal.
To help others climb that ladder
With your knowledge is the next worthy goal.
So keep on learning and keep on sharing.

Our mystic saints and fact based scientists 
Are also the smartest psychologists. 
They stir us towards the mysteries of world.
The desire to seek and know of that unknown source
As an ultimate goal is so compelling.
The One that is so attractive to seek 
Yet so elusive to achieve.

Seek It through knowledge.
Seek it in your work.
Sketch it in your art.
Sing It in your songs.
Reach It through devotion
Love it with all your heart.
Be aware of It within- in your body and soul.
Or see It in creation with so much to explore.
It spills in there like jellybeans from a jar.
This Cosmos here and what is beyond your reach- All of it
Is a burning lamp of knowledge to know Its presence.
