Fight At Night

In middle of the chaos, I slog
Unmindful of my mind's fog

Even in the middle of the night
Finding right words is the big fight
The insane ambience seems friendly
I admit this candidly
I love the chaos, and I love to slog

As the Indian Constitution came into effect in January 1950, a wave of optimism swept the country. It was a simple life, peppered with fond viewing of cinema that was largely dominated by the likes of Suraiya, Madhubala, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor. Nargis-starrer Mother India caught the imagination of the entire nation as it became the ultimate saga of sacrifice and a salute to womanhood. There were golden oldies like Awara, Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, Shree 420 and Kagaz Ke Phool. Then came the watershed moment in Indian cinema; Satyajit Ray released Pather Panchali in ’55.

The Italian beauty, Sophia Loren, became the ultimate diva for movie buffs, who w...

Foes? Friends?

Knock-knock Oh! someone is here... Pleasing, good natured... a friend I get elated But even before happiness could fade away My dream shatters With a heavy heart... we part One goes... only to make way for another Once again I wake up to the reality Tired, I go back to my dream world Only to be woken up by another Knock-knock
