  When the time of the midnight sun and the bright nights are over It leaves the sky as a dark canvas. Where the stars and the northern light, Get the canvas to create their masterpiece in the night, Flanked by the nocturnal clouds those sped away like a meander. And that says a lot about the reality we live here on earth How the darkness is needed for us to see the light, How the cold is what makes us feel the warmth of the fire, How the space between the trees is what forms the woods, How the silence between our words is what makes Anything we say makes sense, How the nothingness is the space for anything to be perceived, How something has to be silenced for something else to be heard, How something dies to give life for something new. We die to live Forever  Linto

Roshan was trying to figure out the reason for the ants’ disciplined movement, marching in a line…he never saw such discipline back in his school. His mother’s repeated warning didn’t seem to bother him at all. A miscreant ant deviated a bit and bit his leg rapidly and scooted back to the line, bringing him back to his senses. “Yes, mo...

  Sun longed For a cloudy firmament To smear the horizon With a crimson sunset. The hours that breathed Charred the day soon As the ash faded into the dusk. The day ends engulfed by darkness Breathing lives into The nostrils of the dreams.  Linto

The Dust With it, I stayed close and warm In the fetters of its care. I hid in the bosom Clutched hard in dissent But Time in the past pushed me off From the cosy womb to life span Of my real cause The dust To which I shall return someone said. To the Dust. Chuckles my past in glee.           Linto

Pressin...

Loner was I often crowned By the people who are not around Battling down the naysayers found To sail past against the grain bound. I have stalked the terrains all my life Tracking down the peaks in pace When the hunger tears my gut in haste Howls spill out of my swollen face While the nippy gush of the wind nor cease. I badly want but can’t sleep For the hunger ravages my gut very deep While the trees at the hillock weep In frozen gales that ever sweep. Ever loyal am I...

It is tiresome sitting here whole day doing nothing, at least I can find someone to talk with.” He was muttering to himself…..lost in thoughts. His wife was listening to him with suspicion…she couldn’t believe her ears. They have been married for almost forty years, neither of them has thought of getting into some job, worse was her husband’s recklessness which even caused them almost bankrupt today. “Have you lost your mind…who would give you a job…that too in this age”? She laughed at him. “You don’t need to worry about finding a job for me….you know, I have been offered one in a hotel in the town”. “Thank God, any way you have at least a good thought after years of your irresponsible life, I am sure our children would be happy to hear this.”   For a moment she felt proud of her husband. “I knew you will realize about our state…” she sighed in hope. “But, I have a request”. “Okay….go ahead…let me h...
