Death

My wounds are sore, it is a tale
fresh and raw, but seems of yore

I am hurt scratched and scathed
red lines cover flow down my skin
eyes wide big,boy so big
walking and running lost he is

His fault just one, wrong decision
aim was right but wasn't precise
Door of upstanding tall
pretty idol he stands
once mighty and proud
spreading his hands

Cheeky boy cries, it ain't no lie
he asks for death but cannot die.
Parents sit tight, he's their bright light
star of their eyes, hope of life.

Maybe Papa was watching the news. Maybe the house didn’t even feel complete without him anymore. His phone pinged. A message from his sister in Düsseldorf. Didi: “You okay? Missed your call. Also, Maa said, ‘Bas ek baar uski shakal dekh loon toh theek ho jaaye.’...

Demons and Dungeons : A Framework to Learn In Teams

I have been called many things in my life. Team player is not one of them. It is not as if I have worked in many teams, or many teams have chosen me to work with them. I am the kid who was left out from the group formation as a kid in middle-school standard. Imagine the isolation. Recently, Aparna Piramal Raje, who is also my professor, quoted : Dare to stand alone,  Dare to make yourself grow, Dare to find your purpose, Dare to make it known.  Imagine, I have been doing it since I was a kid. The presence of a group can seem less fortunate sometimes than presence of lone Sysiphious warrior. Although now, it is difficult in a hyper-globalized world. I am learning the art of group management and negotiation, treading Moore's law every second. Since years, when I started volunteering. In the past few months I have been found fortunate opportunity with Anant Fellowship. I am a part of team with four more people. We have frequent conversations on Google meet. We have weekly interac...

In you heart; don't deny you don't wanna hold me I'm your part; apart if I'll be you're gonna miss me If I go away;come hold me close Jump in the bay; cross the sea and come! I'll keep you with me today and always I am sweet you'll miss me anyway So just jump and hold me close before I go Pull me by hand carry me or tow I see you; baby-blue eyes staring pleading craving all there They just give your intentions anyway So when I'll go; will you watch train depart Will eyebrows;show sadness of your heart We can be together always Step forward and grab me anyway Just regret don't you feel when I'll go We can still be together you know. ( Note: Inspired by a Song of Shania Twain. An original work)
