IF YOU LOVE MAGIC...

Like inverted cards ,
there are many nights
in a rainy day.
If you love magic
never ask the magician
to reveal holy secrets!

BRIGHT APRIL IS BACK BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE ANTS?

Yesterday was more of a dream than real.It was dark, wet and gloomy. 'Man in painting ' spent a lot of time thinking about ants.Ants lost their homes in the unexpected rains.Exiles,they became in their own earth.All the ant-houses were gone. Like paper caroll lights, they were hanging from all the branches till yesterday evening.Now they are all gone.MIP can see the big mango tree through the second window.Usually by this time, a great pilgrimage could be seen on that main tree trunk.But today,MIP cannot find not even a single ant.Bright april is back but all the ants are gone.

THE CLOCK SAYS IT IS 2.30

The clock says it is 2.30 in the noon. A jackfruit tree can be seen through the window. Its leaves are dark green. On every leaf there is a spoonful of molten daylight. A distant growl can be heard. Is this going to be another rainy day?
Light becomes pale. A steaming sound is heard. It slowly overtakes all other sounds. Another rainy afternoon.

APRIL 2008

All i could hear is the 'purring' of those old yellowish cealing fans and the slippery, stony sounds from my key board .The world seems to sleep outside.I can see the trees in the garden-very very still and breathless.They remind me of school kids in the green room waiting for the results after the stage show.Yesterday evening too there were heavy downpours.Nobody believe this is summer season.Afternoons remind us of the monsoon mornings.I can see a dark grey blanket slowly covering up the whole sky.A cold wind start blowing through the window.Can anyone beleive that is an afternoon in the mid-summer april?.
