Street Barbers Are Not Called Stylists

their dreams held in

captivity on a chair

where the customer

sits. .thats it .

moving fingers

dancing wrists

chewing gutka

on the road he

spits ..looking

in the mirror

two heads

two faces

he continues

with his

bullshit

the tailor

ran away

with the

milkmans

daughter

to wit

the towns

gossip

at his

fingertips

his tongue

his gift

between

his mind

his scissors

no rift

control

shift

the flesh

was willing

the spirit

drifts ,,

What Was Mr Rajesh Khanna Thinking

at the crossroad of fame life death

alone in a crowded world arclights

what was the superstar thinking

did he know that a part of him

was dying sinking it had nothing

do with his drinking ,,he was

tired of this pretentious world

where friends turned foes

crystal wineglasses that broke

while clinking ,,deep in his

thoughts his last film riyasat

he sat his eyes blinking

getting ready to go away

from this world nauseous

selfish stinking.. death

with a heavily painted face

of an actor looked at him

winking.. his morbid eyes

vacuous empty hollows

glinting,,,was he preposterously

hinting time up pack up

no re thinking...

The Spirit Of Ramzan Shastri Nagar Santa Cruz

The people of this area predominantly Muslims have made a stall , they have bought fruits dates at wholesale and are selling it to the residents at cost , no profit no loss ..

And during Ramzan our state government watches helplessly impotently as hoarders profiteers loot the Muslim community by raising the prices of fruits vegetables and dry fruits..And a few politicians will open such stalls only to see that this brings them returns during their re election ,,

I have yet to come across any politician giving an iftar party for beggars and the poor .these Iftar parties are a political

expedience and a slap on the true worth of our spiritual idealism.

And I hope this Ramzan you pray for those that wont celebrate Ramzan being displaced homeless refugees in Iraq and other Muslim countries where ironically it is the Muslim that loves killing Muslims In Ramzan..And jihaddists who murder rape loot .. are definitely not following the tenets of Islam Or the Holy Prophet or Ahle Bayt ,, irrespective of Shia Sunni Kurd Salafi Wahhabi or ,,any other faith.

Clipping The Indian Nostril

requires

craftiness

devious skill

follicles out

of the cavernous

orifice of the nose

jut out spill ..

a task uphill

a sweet bitter

pill to much of

anything ,makes

one ill ..if you are

broke than who

foots the bill

so get rid of

nostril hair

just be cool

chill before

you croak

even if you

are broke

make your

will ..
