APPARITION

-

The Apparition
It is pale and it is white

Its presence only felt at night

It’s here and next it’s there

You turn around and see it everywhere



A face without eyes

A body without legs

It floats in air

With an evil stare



It has been here seen ages

Lurking behind your many images

Born out of death it exists

With a reckoning force, none can resist



It will spare no one

It’s here to haunt everyone

Reminding you of your deeds

On your fear it feeds



It has no end, it’s here forever

You can’t outsmart, it’s more clever

Invisible at times, but still beside you

Constantly reminding you of your due



Every night before you sleep

Make sure you ask for forgiveness

Else a face deprived of fairness

Will haunt you till you weep



It’s not a ghost here for revenge

It’s not a soul waiting for salvation

It’s your own part that’s destroyed

A part that now cannot be revived



Filled with loath, cruel and sly

Truth hides as it feels so shy

You are busy rejoicing the lie

You will be that ghost when you die.

A mist covered destiny

A mist-covered destiny ~ A speech by Satish R Inamdar Sixty-ninth Independence Day is here; the tricolors are in full bloom, a sudden rush of patriotism seems to arise in the heart of every common Indian. I am certainly not against this new feeling that sweeps over us for one day like a cyclone that raises alarm of impending destruction but changes its course just in time to avoid it all. Because, for all certainty I know 16 th august, the very next day will be just like other 364 days of the year and every memory and feeling on the day before it would vanish in a puff of smoke as we get busy in our livelihood. This year, the Independence Day happens to be on a weekend and I feel for the masses, who have been denied of an opportunity for a national holiday. Before we begin, lets do a reality check: “Tiranga” or “Tricolors” as we usually refer to our national flag has actually four colors not three. Everyone seems to ignore the navy blue wheel in the center of it. It is...

The Gambler's Night

The dictionary defines gambler as a person who is willing to take the risk in hope of a desired result. A risk-taker is a gambler. A gambler doesn't necessarily meet success every time. Loss is always expected; the undesired result. It was sometime during the month of May, summer vacations were on but Sainik school had called back its pupils for early onset of classes. The campus was empty except for the final year batch. The city of Bijapur bathed in the intense heat of blazing sun. The air near the surface of earth was so hot that it often resulted in mirages on the black velvety asphalt road. The days were hot; the nights brought relief with occasional rains and cool breeze. It was not an ordinary night. It was raining hard and fast and it made a rhythmic sound as it splashed on the window panes. Mike and Saty were in no mood to study, they were sitting near the window and discussing about the smallest route that they could take in this rain to reach Reshma’...

THE CITY

-
The City The feelings of pleasure and lust Places devoid of dust The city and its nights Always filled with sparkling lights Extravaganza is the theme here always Clubs populated by lesbians and gays People have lost the sense of shame Letting dignity fall, for few days of fame The life here changes like trends in fashion It’s like music played without passion Blindly following an unknown leader Reactionless being nothing more than a reader Money and fame are the ultimate powers Beauty here is brought by artificial flowers   The mock of nature makes this place stink To lower levels humanity sinks You should know when people smile Behind it, the concealed intents are vile The flowers and the gifts that they send Shouldn’t make you to treat them as your friend Even with shining lights this place seems dark Life seems a twisted tale even though it’s just stark The exuberance and the aura feel hollow In this faint light, which...
