An Ode to the Possibilities, Potentialities & Eventualities
Today, we mourn the passing of our brother who was taken from us way too soon. It is his birthday, a stark reminder that he is no more.
Om Shanti, Bhaiyya!
You live in memories, in our heartbeat, in our thoughts and reflections. And in your beautiful write-ups, a fraction of which are available with us. Keep smiling up from heaven...and keep singing your favourite Kishore Kumar songs (Ruk jaana nahin tu kahin haar ke, nadiya se dariya, musafir hoon yaaron among others) and your perennial favourites, Elton John's Sacrifice and Nikita...
You were the maverick, the unconventional, the genius, and much more...
That flair, that luminous, literary command, that finger on the pulse of the country, its people and its history!
That knack of coming up with the witty, the pithy, and the laconic.
Sharing snippets of your vast reservoir of writings that are even more poignant today.

"ENIGMA--
Mind generates thoughts.
Thoughts generate energy.
Energy is life.
Life is transcendence.
Transcendence is moksha."

"When Tears Want To Roll.
And Your Cheeks
Refuse Accommodation.
Awakening to a life that lies beyond.
A deep-seated desire.
Oh!
What then happens.
When tears want to roll down your cheeks.
And.
You.
Refuse
Camaflouged.
In the regime of the normal.
Taken to the bed.
In the night.
With the protocol.
So that.
We all can sleep.
Disturbed by our dreams.
Nightmares come.
To wake us up.
As our next-door neighbors.
There is another morning.
We wish.
We could dress up better.
Then.
Again.
So. Then. Again.
What do you do?"
