He ..

Assalam walekum I said to him
cringed his brows,that dude slim n trim
That lives near the mosque, a beauty house
saw me like dirty sleazy bad mouse
He stood near the taxi stand,handing papers
I was Hindu he was not,i wanted a newspaper
Achkan white with orange jootis
stitched body tight, material seemed sooti
Stand ing still he, I waved at him
I was his customer, everday bought from him
An uptight man, he seemed tall proud
but covered in a catious shroud
He was the same as age of mine
then why he looked as if I was swine
Did I do wrong, I greeted him
I was upbeat, his face was dim
Garnered strength, scared i thought
should I ask him? towards him walk?
should i talk? or shake his hand?
ask friend what's the matter, why alone stand.
Still thinking he was worth as was I
deep friendship true could've developed if I had tried
I stopped coming there but thinking of him
a good man he must be,unknowningly wish him.

If Teleportation Was Real

“The Portal Room” A Short Story by a Student In Germany Who Just Wanted to Hug His Maa Without Spending 400 Euros, and 12 Hours Chapter One: The Portal Room It had been raining all day in Gießen. Not the kind of rain that brings kids to the balcony or makes your mother yell from the kitchen, “andar aa jao, bimaar ho jaoge!” (“Come inside, you’ll fall sick!”). This rain was foreign. Cold. Grey. Silent. The kind that made homesickness louder, made your heart feel like a waterlogged suitcase. Arpit sat at his desk, staring at the open laptop. The cursor blinked at him, like a ticking clock, but the words wouldn’t come. His eyes wandered to the window. He imagined what his parents might be doing in Delhi. Maybe Maa was making chai. 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.’...

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)

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...
