Implosion

Thy Will Shall Prevail

Kutastha*

The Thirsty Fish

Title inspired by Wu’hsin, the Chinese philosopher

PRALAYA*

While under COVID lockdown, and on a walk, I came across this striking metal mural of Lord Shiva – the Destroyer. I thought it apt for days like these when the end of the world seems nigh. And here below is my poem inspired by it:

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam

“The world is my family”, originally comes from the Upanishads, ancient Sanskrit tomes.
In this time of  a global pandemic and near-universal lockdown, it has salience in that we’re truly all in it together – East, West, rich, poor, black, white, brown, Hindu, Muslim, young, old – and the only way to overcome, recover, heal it is by forming a brotherhood.

Samsara* (The Circle of Life)

Round and round she goes

Turning slowly

FAKE

Who and what is fake?

Bars

A collage of photos inspired by the ongoing lockdown.

Oxymoron
