A gentle song


It’s not everyday that I hear your gentle song
For its only your pain that I have felt, for centuries

 You came to me in my dreams, a young boy
I held your hand and we went by the river
A breaking light, a lady with a red glow

Who was she, my friend, the lady with many arms & little lights?
Blessing us as we walked by the river side

A ­crystalline river, a holy place
You came to me as a blessing
Sent from the heavens above
A pure, clear aura

You came and held my aching heart
With your playful smile, you made me laugh & cry


I do say I care, I will always do, till the day eternity stops
It’s a silvery shackled bond that you cannot escape
You have pledged that you will always be by my side

A shining star, a silvery light, you shine for me
A raging anger, a redness emanates

For you, you have it all in you

To see, to perceive
Yet a beauty that rises, from your very depths

Permits me, a wandering soul, to give you time & space


There will be no one who would take your place
No one that I will ever love, the way I love you, a divine bond

From a pure, divine source, a love that cannot be understood
Time, and all eternity has witnessed the meeting of two souls

Parted from another life as child, mother, soulmates
To come back in this life and relive our karma

 To Nirvaana that I seek, I beseech you, do not part with me this time

For then we will have to be reborn once more, and many such lifetimes will be seen

By the universes that run parallel.

Come walk with me, this wind that I tread, O Pious stranger

We tread a golden wind, of times yet to be seen

Of yawning chasms of timeless eternities that you will never know
I wait, weeping solitary tears, For you to come back from where you have gone.

Come embrace this tree, that rests in a green garden that I walk upon

A diamante circle, a Silvery Moon looks askance at me

Where will you be, when I seek, just seek a soul?

It’s just time, only time. The beloved is what we seek.

Story-Non existent in my solitude

Non-existent, in water I float, in my solitude. I do not cry. These are the words that define me, Nandita. I live in a surrealistic world that I call Utopia. Today, my brother, Anshuman returns from the US of A. Anshu has been studying B. Tech and promises to be a multi millionaire. He is gifted with IQ, I with EQ. We are birds of a feather. There is pandemonium in the house. Ghar ka chiraag laut raha hai. Mom is going ballistic, screaming matches with the staff, Papa rushing around too. Their darling son, the prodigal is returning. In this mob like fury, I am totally forgotten. My breakfast comes in late, as cook is busy making Anshu’s favourite dishes. Kebabs, biryani, theplas. I am alone in my room. I stare at the curtains, wanting to tear them off. Mom has forgotten that today I had to go for my entrance test for the Jewelry Designing course at JD Instt. The driver has gone off to get fresh towels for Anshu’s room. I hurry. I am late already. I need to shower and catch a ...

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...

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...
