I witnessed stories of life and dreams in K.R. Market and you will too!
Each story is unique. These are legends of hardships, and I like to see them as hope, connect them with time, talk about possibilities, and mark points that lead to understanding each other better. Here is a sneak peek in the form of a picturesque itinerary of poems from the perspective of life and desires!

My House is Not Dead
How much is a home celebrated, When it is given a life, As if everything has congregated To make it sanct, new, and decorated. Over the years, it loses its glimmer, Converts to a sojourn, in some other years, It is too old to habitat for humans. They pack and leave in search of a…

I Am Losing and Winning
I sat beside my bed, waiting to sleep, Night reaches footsteps And creeps on my skin. It sings a lullaby, A voice I hear of my mom, To sleep. Tossing and turning, Spending tears to realize this And learn that. I can sleep, But I do not want to, Let this night be the darkest…

Ikigai: The Reason Of Being
Sitting inside my room, I see the thunder whoop to my room. Desperate rainwater gushes down, From the opened up cracks and crevices, And I instantly realise that I have to go out and fix this, I need to rush out to fix that.The rain is not stopping, And there is an ocean, I Imagine,…

Faces of Dimension
One is past and one is future, The feeling that something is always looking, Always behind us, keeps sinking Within us and makes a way To our hearts so deep that We ignore the lingering future. The good happy days of the present And the fortune of tomorrow. The present always seeps From the holes…

Dimensional Paradox
5 stars on my wrist, Aligned in a line, Shines and speaks out loud, Reminding me of the galaxy lying on the pin’s point. Smaller enough that after losing a person, We soon meet him in the 4th dimension called time, Maybe in future or in past. These stars, They fade and vanish, But soon…

Just Be!
Tuck your insecurities under the bedsheet And lie on them naked, This is nothing but a reminder, That you are superior than anything. If you are feeling demotivated or sad, Just drink an ounce of that nectar Which you consider holy. Pretend who you want to be And let pressure drain your worries away. I…

The Mighty Man!
I want to color all those paintings, With human eyes which look sad and demotivated, Because they are not being watched. A lot was put into those by the painters, I suppose. I am no artist, But I observe. I want to take everyone to those exhibitions Who are unhappy and messing with their own…

My Love Affair with Coorg
I start my normal day in Bengaluru with exercise, have my breakfast and go to my desk for straight 8 hours with my laptop screen on and in the background music, children’s voices and chores of the day change seasons. While every time I think of travelling to different parts of India, I find a…

Scars
I have some scars left in open to survive Like an abandoned ship in the sea. I have a fear inside me Which pisses me off every goddamn time I think about it. No, I have not done any wrong, The circumstances were just adverse, And I was too lazy to think That I was…

Morning Bird!
I am grateful to the Mornings Which take me out And push me harder from my deep slumbers. As I go out and touch the soft air, My heart bursts into happiness bare. As I step out and feel the rhythms, I feel thankful for being so adamant, For getting up without weigh For continuous…

Moments with Friends!
Whiskey made me high, And beer chilled,After taking a shot of Vodka, I totally got numb. Although the effects are different, All combined to one are making my cerebrum stunned. The terrifying night and I high on booze, Can I make my own way to my home? Everything light and fuzzy feelings, How to go…

She
A smiling face, With visible rib cage. Dirt on her legs And generosity in hands. I passed in future, But stood in present. Looking for some shrunken bananas, I bought some and her hand raised, To bless. No language, No signs, just eyes which speak, The language forgotten but very unique, Called care. Daily I…

Poem: Dear Girls!
Welcome to my party, We can collaborate. There is your booze and there, the cigars. In my kitchen, there is some homecooked food too. Groove! Groove! Groove! You are allowed. Talk! Talk! Talk! It is all fine. Advices will be served, if you want. Think this home as a book in your hand. I want…

Travel Stop: Haridwar+Rishikesh
After canceling a lot of other plans, insisting my college teachers to take my tests later, filing some false doctor reports for postponing the exam dates, insisting my parents, I finally packed my bags to take a plunge and go wild into the beauty of Rishikesh and Haridwar.

Poem: Checklist
You will feel your mind flooded And eyes filled with nothingness, As those heavenly drops will fall upon you. You will find yourself fully complete And worthy when you have dusted the list Of achievements, you have made yourself. Consider money is your restful sleep And this nature your owner. Submerge your ugliness And you…

Dear Bully!
I see friends going to parties without me. An empty classroom, with teachers teaching only me. Subjects being – The art of being nice And the techniques to attract friends. I open my tiffin box to see, That my mom forgot to pack me, friends. I see some girls laughing over there. Some boys standing…
