The beloved is what we seek

It just happened one night
One fragmented piece of green glass

Reaches into the quagmire of my wandering soul
I, the dervish woman, seeking love

Am whirling in own web of cosmic unions
Hoping that this time, it is He

Yet I know it is not
The beauty is, the pain

I gasp everyday in the pain I have felt
Over time, this is a familiar ache that my soul needs

Walking on a timeless warp, I break, into million shattered souls
My soul now wanders once more into bereft sands of non-relative time

The Sun starts paling, the twilight hour sets in
I gaze at the yonder, wondering, is this He

I know not, it is not the one
Yet the pain, the familiar pain is there to keep

We walk on a rainy horizon, him and me
He clasps my hand, not letting me go.

I draw away, I cannot
I cannot do so, I cannot be here

My tears fall, rapidly so
He knows, he wipes them away

It is a solitary time once more
My dusty rose lies, morose on a fragrant bed

I weep, tears of joy, sadness, bliss
Yet I know not, who was He?

He caresses my lonesome cheek
Me a wandering damsel, in a search of the Beloved

I walk on, looking back to see him smile
He runs to me, with a slight gasp, I falter in my step

I walk on, letting him run to me
He knows not, it is not He

For the beloved is what we seek
I rest, in knowledge, that love is what I seek

ARE SUSPENSEFUL TIMES AHEAD FOR MOVIE THEATRES?

Cinema viewing is a sport most city slickers look forward to. Going to the movies is like a mini vacation. Nandishi Shriram chats with Sanjeev Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Cinemas to discuss the road ahead for multiplexes. The big screen cinematic experience is a real thrill. The treat of lying back on a plush, padded recliner, enjoying a Japanese Bento Box, served up by an attentive steward is irrepplaceable! Gone are the days of crawling into a nondescript, dark and dank smelling theater, wolfing down a greasy alu tikki burger with onion and tomato along with pumpkin ketchup…!! Only to watch Mithun doing his greasy swagger & running around trees with a buxom Ranjeeta….!! Instead, now when you walk in to watch a thriller like Andhadhun at PVR Luxe, you are assured a few hours of pulsating excitement. The credits roll in and the movie begins. The film script has very dark & grey undercurrents, with hints of the paranormal. The audience is on edge, watching Tab

Shackles....please let me be....

In a man dominated world, can I, a woman, find a place, free of shackles of fathers, brothers, husbands, pimps? I ask my sisterhood this. I request you to question yourself and the world around you and I want you to stop today and think. We require a world change and I will you, my sister, to weep for me, yet weep for the individual in you that got hidden somewhere in her role towards life that existed outside her and around her. Today, I question the very morality and the weft of the societies of the world. Tell me, what gives anyone the right to target the feminine gender as an objectified piece? Do you, my mother, my female sister, promise to stand & cover me when I am being led without any clothes in a village? Do you, O Sister, promise to castrate that man who raped me every night? I now write a sad story that might shake you, from your very complacent world. I beg you to rise with me and be one in that voice that says...ENOUGH.....I do hope that you will do this for yo

Eternity

And eternal lifetimes later, So came a time When you left me And we met in another time And what culminated from this...... Was just a timeless eternal grappling of two bodies Just entwined in a sorrowful embrace For it was only then that we realized That time never did exist It was not time that held us Or the silvery ropes of life That held me to you my beloved It was a yawning chasm of an endless well Into which i got sucked And that went beyond... Just beyond Beyond what we call space I flew into a maddening darkness Embracing the folds of my own skin Into a darkness that closed me in That made me gasp for air I grappled.... For air..... For water....... Yet no one came You just left me and went away And when I reached out for a light Then it was only you that I see It was a blinding curtain of shimmering light A light into which we both got sucked A warmth where I could not leave And an endearing love that you cou
