Dear Uprooted Jacaranda



        Monday blues

        Enlivening my spirits

        In biting the dust

        During the weekend's carnage




At the hospital that morning, I was option-less but to park my vehicle under the supine branches of this lovely tree. It could not survive the wind gusts and rain soaked putty soil. 

3rd June 2024




From Palash to Aakash Mallige




Assortment of colours, textures, fragrances

carelessly collected in unhurried 

walks amidst nature.

A volcano erupts, spewing pleasure!


Slow savouring of the gifts of today,

cherry picking

only blessings strewn en route.

This load generates a warmth of fulfilment.


Then what was this mad race for more they mentioned?

Amassing wealth and fame you think.

Along sneaks in something more

and then more...
