' matha'

the toddler krishna
what a vanishing artist
with the butter gone
the skimmed butter-milk is left
to face all the heat ..

[indian mythology ~ the young krishna loved to steal the butter, from his own house or the neighbor's, mattered little./ today 'chaach' aka 'matha' ie skimmed butter-milk is regarded as a potent antidote to heat ]

" dil- e -nadan tujhe hua kya hai
aakhir is dard ki dawa kya hai " ~ ghalib

my heart so unwise
but what is your affliction
WHAT CURE FOR THIS HURT
(for you are the affliction)
oh my naive .heart . ~ ghalib

~ nasaiku / translation / zg ..

life of confluence
a rock flows with the river
PARADOXICAL
a river flows with the rock
confluence of life

one meal

' cutlery '

it remains so green
unjaded and unrusted
the banana leaf
holds a very modest meal
better than nothing..

[ in the south of india food is served on a banana leaf ]

happy

' the walk home '

the rythm of life
reaches a happy tempo
tit-tha-tirkit-dha
speak the tabla syllables
as a dance unfolds ..

out worn

' worn out '

at adolescence
a lil' girl fantasizes
of a red sari
the one that you see brides in
but the dream wears off ..

[ the sari-2 ~ the well known dress of the indian woman ]

blurred

' clad in thoughts '

the moon is hidden
behind a foggy fabric
draped in a sari
of cloud and mist and pure haze
intrinsic beauty ..
