All the anger of the world

 

The day

All the anger of the world

Dissipates into the sea,

And, the sea rises

And touches the sky,

All souls

Will walk the viscous sea,

In search of life,

In search of love.

We are like this only

 

We are like this only:

We are 6/6 in hindsight,

We use microscope for foresight,

We are generous

When we are not paying,

We ask, kitna deti hai?

Of the car we aren't buying.

We are like this only.

*kitna deti hai: What is its fuel consumption

Love to hate

 

I know that hate-to-love

Is a kind of hate;

Is love-to-hate

A kind of love?

And feel the pain again

 

Parting has become a bit of a habit now.

That same intense pain and sorrow

When the first movers crossed over,

Is no longer there.

Two mates crossed over

To the other side yesterday.

The hurt has deadened a bit.

Some of our mates

Must be still be choking with intense grief.

Mine must be an utterly bad habit.

Should I get out of this bad habit?

And feel the pain again?

Only on the 9th June, the Indian Army's 64 Regular commissioning day, I sent a message to my coursemates thus:

Happy commissioning day, pongos*. 

May you get decommissioned only at aakhri padrao.**

*pongos: Armymen, so-called in the Tri Services

**aakhri padao: The last stop, metaphorically, the cremation or burial spot.

Can this be counted as a life for the batter?

 

Just saw Mr Rahane appeal against a lbw decision. Turns out, it was a no-ball on which he was declared out. As such, the appeal was upheld and Mr Rahane was declared not out.

My question is this: Did Mr Rahane get a life when the lbw decision was upturned?

 

World without sheen

What becomes

Of the buildings unfinished?

What happens to the hearts

That remain unloved?

What happens to that veiled world

Seen, yet unseen?

What souls wander that veiled world?

What becomes

Of the world without sheen? 

Forgotten prayer

 

Some pushed him without mercy,

And, got him onto his knees,

And, therefore by these gestures,

Got him into a position to pray.

All those who pushed him

Get counted twice,

When he counts his blessings now:

For pushing him

Into a prayer position;

And, for making him recall

The forgotten prayer.
