Delhi based, army-kid education, a professional Architecture degree, marriages, kids (three) and friends that go back decades were my assorted teachers. Relationships (+?+), Reading (anything plus Russell, Rand and Richard Bach my three rrr’s), travel, amateur astronomy, music (all kinds), The Net and technology at the edges .... my interests. In essence I am but an empathizing observer and sometimes....a participant willing and otherwise. It is ‘life’ that provides me with fresh insights, rehashed ones and the panorama of ‘detail’. Intrinsic in it are its ‘true’ depth and structure which I attempt to reflect. My conveyence-expousing-expression of the same is as everything else subject to Godels limits.,, and mine the day I stop ‘learning’.

And love
in its many
varied and...
articulated formats
a choreography...of circumstance
times and places
and of people
yes people who have forgotten
who they be
as they sway...in non-accountability
a heady drunken dance
through just sips
feeding
the crying thirst and cravings
of a soul within
that seeks....perpetually
an oblivion
from the parched loneliness
that its sensate self
woke to...

A dawning realization...it was
of gnawing hunger
to share....and be shared
a yearning....
which, for so long, lay dormant...
now awaits...in foot-tapping impatience
amidst.....emotional havoc
and the
unrestrained and wild, threshings
for the cool
and calming touch
of a lovers....
love....

Lucky are some
yet, many are the 'us'
whom coy fate
plays with ....
through its minions
doling out visons
in just brief glimpses....of 'nirvana'
and painful realities
and iron-cast 'mores'
cast in the death-lock of fond hope
that waits...and waits
for the 'promises' of tomorrow

The cheering
for the underdog, one
identified with
in a battle, we know...will be lost
and still...
we wait for the flowering
of undying and elusive
Perfect love
an Eden
in our dreams.....
