Learnings, Triumphs, Transformation.
Placing the crystal glasses for soul mates today, I took out the wine fermented in my yesterday, To me, It smells, oh so familiar, Nostalgia in every sip, Too strong for them, I presume, I fermented raw passion of youth, This wine was mixed with arrogance of invincibility, So, I opened new bottle...

This Era, Or That, Life transpires in thread of breaths, Moments walked, They never aim for shores, Eachtime, The destined seeked a cherished garden, They missed countless flowerbeds, Along the way.... -Rupika Moitra ........................................ इस दौर, उस दौर, ज़िन्दगी की डोर, पल गुज़रा, पंहुचा कहीं और हम मंज़िलोह पर ढूंढ रहे...

काश, इत्तेफ़ाक़ फिर दस्तक दे, पहले के मंज़र की आहत हो, ख्वाबोह के मुकल्लम होने पर, ख्वाबोह में ही रहने की सज़ा मुकर्रर हो Chance knocks again, A moment cherised whipers again, Send me an invitation, which moment would be chosen now, The one where the dream realised,... Continue Reading →
Let the thoughts drip away, like sweat, For the force they exert, Let the wisdom seep inside, Subtle in their delight Absorbed in this parched being, Are lessons lived. Wounds disguised, Becoming every ounce, Drenching every inch, This whole is of sweat and turmoil, But also; of untold glory and delight.... -Rupika... Continue Reading →
The fight between the self ( ego and the one that surrenders) is bigger than any war going outside. Every outside enemy/ war that propels one to choose side and fight is but a distraction not to fight the 'egoic self' "And if I take your enemy away Who are you then? " Transcendence happens...

Baaz- umr, Takte Takte, Rihah huye, Sulagte haste, Bhor, subah, shaam, Waqt ke dher, Sarakte Sarakte, Qaid, mushtek, Baraste- haste, Baaz-e-umr Most of lifetime, I stared at time, I waited, When freedom came, I had burned myself yet I had a smile, Dawn, morning and dusk, Mildews of time, They kept slipping away, I am...

I burned the bridge, For it led to the known station, It leads me to containment, It reassures and but it doesn't satiates, I still wanna walk a mile astray, I burned the bridge, It keeps me quiet, It pacifies well. The revolution inside, I burned the bridge, It's too comfortable, obstructing... Continue Reading →
"I have been circling for a thousand years"- Rilke It's not the bread Or the soup, I can't count it, It's never one or four, It's not the pot, Nor the grains in it, It's doesn't serve the mind, Nor exclusive to one soul, It's somewhere around the edge, In an unfilled left place, Should...

Hey you, my friend, Let's lift this trend, Let's raise your spirits high, I have conquered shame, I have conquered shame, But yours is pulling mine, It's pulling and thrusting, Trying to come back; This gift of god, You wash it off, The once glistening skin has parched, It wanted love, you wanted to part,...

In the wilderness of my mind, I always move I always seek, I always want, I always behold, Mesh of thoughts, dreams, visions and goals, All to feel the essence, glory of the moon; It's ever changing, it's ever-reflecting, The knowledge that is my own, The more I wonder, The more I try to...

Unique; was this 'GOLDEN PEACOCK', It's innocence was held safely in lock and key, It danced away, Rain or no Rain, To erase every wrinkle of worry, It danced till dawn turns dusk, It danced till all that was gathered lost its musk, Every smile added to its golden crust, Swelled feet, heavy-winged, It returned...

Man toiled for a world of bricks, stones and steel and is still toiling for the latest versions of gadgets. Man thumbs up technological advances of electromagnetic waves. He fills himself up with caffeine, smoke and fermented grapes or wheat. But, he actually sold to his peers what he loaned from nature and became self-... Continue Reading →
Lightning screams aloud in pride, Calling with shudders from sapphire sky, Loud awakening for walking dead and alive, To drench in rain of craft of life, To prepare for sunshine, To embrace blessings and learning alike, To breath through chilled night with warmth of compassion, To wake in bloom of hearts open for companions, To...

The shadow of collosal form, It hides in me, Me- torn in between, To love with all of me, Or, Keep this primordial being to me, Esteemed, I feel in its presence, In love, can I sustain the absence? In mutuality, do I bury it under paved brick wall of laughter, Do I stand with... Continue Reading →
Your eyes gleam with kindness and wisdom, and yet you, paint and paint, The exterior in colours whose shades cover the brilliance of your own, The pores of skin scream with the act of cruel disownment, The self sighs and there somewhere, you hide, amongst it all, You dim the day and you dim the...

Photo by Victor Freitas on Pexels.com[/caption] It was a dusky warm evening, 14 falls ago... the kind that surges bliss. Hope seeped inside and swelled inside her. She walked believing that oblivion is strangely beautiful. He held the reins. She held the space between them. Burnt and scared, he didn't let go of the reins.... Continue Reading →
It accepts it all with a subtle glow of warmth, Bend with gives and blessings, It's not pompous to claim to know, Oh!! But it does, Like telepathy between lover, Every moon rise, Every number, Each flight of bird, All innate objects speaks; And yet the silence grows deep, Universe of signs, Asks them to...

My experience with my own Truth and spirituality has always led me to believe that what I was seeking couldn't be seeked with ambition. The element to let go and let it take you with it, to trust it means letting go of your 'egoic expectation of abilites.' and flow with that I called in.... Continue Reading →
Transcendence is curated in solace yet it is relational. "all within me" "Immanence is cultivated in closeness of relationship; with the aspects of relationship which produces unity or a point of identity." "How will I reach?" For if, there was no one to see, Would you still dress? For if, your scent or stench couldn't... Continue Reading →
"What if the soul could detached and refuse to connect to a ruminating self. Then, would we stop self-loath. Is there still too much noise deflecting intrinsic wisdom? Is it the mere fault of focus that is stuck on deliverance and ignore soul's guidance?" This morning, The soul left self, It felt contained,... Continue Reading →
Confidence, Self-Belief, are just sounds echoed till we actively seek, To project and believe, A daily task to open shackles of doubt, To unleash potential and let it sprout, Each day, I walk towards it, Then I take a few steps back, To cross this channel, To dive a little deeper Almost there, Almost...

Five years ago, I watched in disgust and pain, an incident all over media about the rape of this young woman by a group of men. She fought till her last breath. The incident was grave enough to send shivers through the distant of hearts. It outraged the world, it outraged the men and women... Continue Reading →
