Tithonus Cracked Up

Writing this feels overwhelming. Overwhelming, owing to the thoughts I have, racing in my mind. This picture was taken last weekend while strolling by the trees, waiting for an urgent call. I had taken the picture, wanting to locate the origin of the yellow crystal like sap at the edges of the skinned bark ofContinue reading “Tithonus Cracked Up”

Pondering upon a day at the Bazaar

The entrance to this bazaar opens with a chicken meat shop and right beside it a flower shop, sitting beside each other are chickens in a cage, half asleep because there are no customers right now and so it’s not yet their time to die.

I am one of them and as frail and firm, the same. Women… as flowers on a tree stuck andContinue reading “Fragility don’t come!”

Moving Across an Autumn Forest and My Straw Hat.

A lil murmur of the stream and crunchy sound between the heap of leaves in the forest… made a shaky quiver. A hat spun with straws and his mustard shirt seemed more of the colour- ochre. It was definitely full of stains and paints; mud and scratches. Reluctant, hesitant and with wonder in his bigContinue reading “Moving Across an Autumn Forest and My Straw Hat.”
