Of Whims and Fancies
(17 downloads)
In my younger years, I knew some my friends who, after being repeatedly baffled by failures in love, formed an association . The association was called the FOSLA (Frustrated One-Sided Lovers' Association). I had almost forgotten about it until a few days ago. Being a teacher, I am always in touch with young teenagers and have heard and seen many stories of teenage infatuations, of how young boys fancy their chances by just a smile from a young lady, of how bewitched they look, of how the young girls are pretty much aware of this, of how, sometimes, they make mince-meat of such smitten boys and then move on....adding another member to the FOSLA.This poem is dedicated to all FOSLA members...then...and now...and forever.

We Always Remember
(13 downloads)
I will begin this episode with a poetic preface for a poem that is not written by me but by someone who was my first inspiration and guide in poetry. I lost touch with her 20 years ago and I hope that if my voice can be still be heard across this vast temporal distance, she would reclaim her poem.You can find the poem text at http://matchingprose.blogspot.com/2007/05/we-always-remember.html

रिक्तता और नवीनता
(25 downloads)
मेरे प्रिय पाठक:भेंट नया कुछ तुम्हें करूँ
ऐसी कोई लेखनी लिखूँ;
जिस से
एक बार फ़िर हो उठे
तुम्हारा रोआं- रोआं रोमांचित
और मैं स्वंय भी हो उठूँ
पुनः हर्षित;
यही सोच कर उठाई थी कलम

Urban Queues
(21 downloads)
Here and there...everywhere,
it is there.
At some locales,
I have seen it dead straight.
Hard-nosed,
it darts at the cote
like a stiff, pointed arrow.
.............
Two thousand seven years after Christ
Is this all
that our citified lives
have come to?
Just a never ending Queue?

A Letter to God
(11 downloads)
Seekingjoy and well being;
I have made
many a decision
and then;
gone back on them.
.........
Tired and blasé
I have let-go;
of this phantom chase.
.........
Notwithstanding
all your blessings
O Numen;
why do I have to contend
with this unknown
and interminable discontent?
..........
I am
sending you this epistle
for your divine counsel.
So,
please do not abrogate
as Junk-Mail
..........

Thank you for your interest and for taking time to visit my page. I was always an introvert since childhood and have surprised myself in starting a podcast. I have loved to observe people and life around me from a corner uptil now. I owe my gratitude to life for inspiring me to pour out my observations on paper (Oops!!! now through the keyboard). Sometimes, I have been able to convey them in poetic rhymes and at others, just through simple loud thinking. Through various episodes in this podcast, I not only wish to share some of my own personal writings but also those which have had an impact on the way I look at life. My mother-tounge is Hindi as I was born and brought up in Northern India. Some episodes are therefore in Hindi too. I thank "mypodcast.com" for providing this forum for interaction with everyone.
