For more than a year now, I have not been blogging. Neither here, nor on my poetry blog. I was having a lot of problem in my life...mainly work life. Too much in my mind. Health wise, I am doing fine.

Maybe, I was also busy on Facebook and other social media. I had signed up for that #100sareepact and diligently completed that.

I have been reading like crazy. Just haven't been blogging. I have blogged about poetry books though becos poetry is my first love!

Since Friday, I have got back to blogging and hope to continue it....

Wish me luck, my blogger friends....

BTW, our schools reopen on 28th June and I am NOT looking forward to that.....

Gate crashed into a colleague's place. We chatted and chatted and chatted. In real. Everyone should do that once in while....:D

I had this doll when I was 8 years old. Nothing special as such but I loved it to bits. It had disintegrated except for the face. Maa renewed it in totality and stitched a new dress for her too, from the scraps she accumulates. I have fallen in love with my doll again. 

Her bonnet and skirt are block printed and top is bandhani.







I wore this kalamkari kurti with a Gujarati embroidery patch with a block print Umbrella skirt. The top was stitched by maa.

The Ghost, The Mountain (poem)

Where is he? Now that the woods

are quiet, and the snow,

April-thawed, has carved a bit

more from the rock

Now that the grass has spiked

underfoot

Where is the young black man

in his freshly bought

jacket and urban shoes

the city kid who loves birds?

POETRY: The Couple Who Fell to Earth by Michelle Bitting June Blog Tour

The Couple Who Fell to Earth by Michelle Bitting 

The poet has taken the everyday experiences into a different level. While reading one can visualize those but long after, it leaves such a mark that is beyond the mundane. One is left wondering at the words. The present day trials and tribulations give rise to such beautiful poetry. We all have such things happening in our lives but poetry coming out of it is a revelation.

The conscious and the subconscious merge at some point...the poetry

out of it, leaves the reader in a trance. 
Just read the following poem and you will know what I mean....

The Goods

It’s the corporeal feelings
I crave the most: aridity, lust,
their aches’ redaction, love-weariness, 

kiss-quest, falling in bed again 

when loneliness breaks a sweat 

and we mount a horse 

called faith borne 

on this wheel of March, 

charge and stamping heat 

of the noble night 

that will carry us, 

tongue and thigh 

entwined and shuddering 

against our own coming history. 

~~~~~~~

We all have such kind of feelings and emotions at one point or the other. However, we don't know how to describe those feelings.....and to understand those is even harder. The poet has done that. She has given us a piece of ourselves. If one knows what I mean....

It is not THAT particular couple who fell to Earth. We did too, with them....and what a grand feeling that is....
