I Burn

I light up the fire
To burn myself here
This is not the first
And it won't be the last.

As heat invades
Skin Pores hollow,
Only will prevails
I know that follows.

Air would fail, 
To rival fire
In bringing flail
As it burns me dire.

Sparks fly over
Feeding extreme pain.
There is no cover,
Seething agony rains.

Nothing is true
As pain.
Not everything is pure
As affliction.

Fire is a blessing
And also a curse
It leaves you screaming
Yet saves you from worse

It leaves you 
With a weak body
But awards you
A strong mind

The body recovers
In some time,
The scar Glitters,
In Sunshine. 

The Mind is Stronger
For better battles
The next fight is now Eager
As I am to turn tables.

Fire is not evil,
Only sinners Know.
I burn by will,
It makes me Grow.

    I look at the sky and wonder WHY
    Battling my fears and sleepless till five

    I wipe my tears and wear a smile
    Gather myself and pick up my files

    What pain does is a choice to make
    So take the road you fear to take

    Run toward the fire, dont look back
    Should it tire, dont fall back

    If you have fears such as mine
    Why stare at the line, when you could shine

The Slim Fit-Infertility Conspiracy

I do not wear Jeans pants. They are heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. Living at 13.0827 degrees north of the Equator I do not see a sensible reason why they should be worn unless you want to fry your thighs. Well, that does not mean I am comfortable with a dhoti either. Though dhotis are the most suitable attire for tropical-humid-skin-burning-head-aching-sweat-dripping Chennai climate, I am comfortable with pants. I still remember writer Sujatha narrating the comfort of pants in his book Katradhum Petradhum – they are versatile when compared to dhotis from climbing stairs to catching buses on the run. Though you might contest the above statement that Chettans from Kerala comfortably do those stunts with their dhotis on, let me just say that I am not as talented as them. Further, adopting a new habit at the age of twenty-five seems very odd. Enough said, as a strong proponent of Tamil identity I diligently decided to purchase pants for this Pongal which is due in ten days. I ...

Short Story: A liveable Planet

The door was opened on the third knock. He entered as soon as possible and the door was shut behind. It was important that the air doesn’t get in. His dad was relieved to see him. He tried to smile, but he couldn’t. He has been finding it difficult to smile at the elders since his teenage, since the days he realized what the elders done to his world. Removing the mask from his face he stepped in into the house. He walked straight to the bedroom where his mother was lying, under medical support. She was asleep. He dropped the kit of medicines which he has brought for her on the table beside him. She has been under medical support for nearly six months now. Years of inhaling polluted air has terribly weakened her lungs. He realized that he was at least lucky enough to at least earn much to buy sophisticated masks which could reduce the effects of pollutants. His dad brought him a glass of recycled water. He took a sip. He knew that his mother can’t survive longer and his d...

Iron Man and Thanos: Two sides of the Same Coin

"Well, Dmitri, every search for a hero must being with something every hero needs, a villain." - Dr. Nekhorvich from Mission Impossible II When I watched Avengers: Endgame I was prepared for an engaging movie primarily because of the directors - the Russo brothers. But I have got to admit that the movie was far more emotionally draining than I expected it to be. Founded with time travel and peppered with nostalgia, the movie was a three-hour rollercoaster. The movie gave a fitting end to one of the longest series in movie history, wrapping up 21 movies in style. It was a classic good and evil tussle which became larger than life because of the heroes who adorned the screen, or should I say the ultimate antagonist. The entire Marvel series was essentially a tussle between the tech-genius Tony Stark aka Iron Man and War Lord Thanos. The other characters, in my opinion, are mere distractions as the foundation of the conflict is between these two powerful men. The ulti...
