चाँद अभी भी मद्धम है
कब आओगे तुम प्रिय
बन के सूरज मेरे
देकर अपनत्व की गरिमा
करोगे रौशन अंतः मेरा।
चाँद अभी भी मद्धम है
कब आओगे तुम प्रिय
बन के हवा का झोंका
उड़ा के ज़ुल्फ़ें मेरी
करोगे उजागर रँग मेरा।
चाँद अभी भी मद्धम है
कब आओगे तुम प्रिय
बन के मन मीत मेरे
चूम कर अधर मेरे
करोगे कुंदन तन मेरा।

Genius leaves a mark, but does not change the world. Numbers matter. It is cowed down by the exponential power of the generalized mean. Those who want to rule the world, understand this phenomenon, and exert all effort in controlling the masses. The classes will not be influenced easily, but their power can be nullified … Continue reading Flawed laws
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a sun
give me endless glow of your
tender love, care, affection
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a breeze
drive away the clouds that mark
my brow – insecurities
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a man
claim what is rightfully yours
part my hair and see full moon

An excellent piece of Orwellian fiction in a different context by Michael….
The moon is still dark which doesn’t surprise me, as it’s been this way for so long. I’m beginning to think I never saw it otherwise.
The atmosphere is so clouded with gasses nowadays it’s a wonder sunlight finds its way through.
We are forced to wear masks if we venture outdoors, the air being so toxic people have stopped wearing artificial cloth as the gasses burn holes in it or dissolve it totally which was an embarrassment many suffered in the early days.
The constant radio broadcasts promising a revolution since the darkness descended have stopped. The longer the rhetoric went on, the worse everything got. People now are tired, surviving as best they can.

I look upon the face of our nation
The creases of strife and hatred etched as stone
I look in to the eyes of damnation
The years of a democracy perhaps overthrown
I look for the spirit of liberation
The pain of the hopeless is ours to atone
The festival of lights made an attempt to light up the dark skies with fireworks, and the earth with strings of lamps … all for a night or two, and then, the Moon goes back to its normal routines. The challenge has ended. For how long? A fortnight, a year or for eternity? What did … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 62
This is a difficult one for me, Michael, but I will give it a try. My first thought was about all the challenges that made me stronger, the people who posed those challenges and disappeared from my life, and those who continue to pose those challenges. But that is not the spirit of your challenge. … Continue reading Gratitude
