Unlike other literary devices, poetry comes from an unknown place, a certain crack in the soul. It is bled, rather than written.

I feel at home

Everywhere, the warmth is present

More importantly

The cash in the bank

Is the warmest embrace

I can get

The anti NRC/CAA protests have turned in to some thing of pop culture, a mature college festival. Let all the anti Modi forces unite, is the rallying call. Shaheen Bagh being exalted, as Tahrir or Shahbag- we’re never Modi voters. Doesn’t matter to the anti Lutyens/India International Centre seminar circuit culture of the BJP. It worries more about Darbhanga than Dilshad Garden.
