AHIMSAK (The Non-Violent Hero)
He was an ideological die hard
Violence?
Animal? Human?
No. Never.
He organized many movements
For spreading the idea
Of Ahimsa
I am not talking of Mahatma Gandhi.
The fictional name of my hero
Is Ahimsak
The world praised him
For his stand against violence.
Upon his death,
Those who could see out there
It was a shocking scene
He was dragged by the hair
They bypassed Purgatory
And reached the gates of Hell
Greeted by Lustus and Faustus
To the constant ringing of a weird bell.
A chargesheet
Was then issued against him
Which said: physical violence
Is not the only violence
Honoured with State Awards,
He carried a tragic flaw
He talked good and acted evil
And practiced a hoax on the divine law.

GULF
I am not a man,
I am a dress
And
At the most
An address.
Be satisfied how I look
And also
What I say
Even what I do
That is what I am to you
Eyes do not go deeper
Than my skin
And words only paint
What eyes see
And what you can understand
Am I not only a formality?
You understand me
Because you know my vocabulary
Limited is my range
Nothing is strange
Suspend your eyes
Your words which try to describe me
And your ears which understand
Only the customed images
Cease if you want to seize me
Rise from apologies to the facts
Which lie hidden below
These words
And emotions
Which our hearts plough.
