Loopy Chaos (Debut Poetry book)

Cover page of the book launched on Amazon :) What happens when a generation raised on infinite scroll tries to find finite meaning? Loopy Chaos  isn't some great Shakespeare stuff.  No flowery verses about sunsets . This is what gets written at 2 AM when the  algorithm won't let you sleep.  When your feed is full of outrage but your polling booth stays empty. When you're told you're the future but can't afford the present. Inside these pages: I’ve written about society, nature, hypocrisy, money, language, identity, delusion, elections — and yes, even a confused hippo without the use of controversial language. And a father's wisdom that actually makes sense. Some of it will make you laugh. Some will make you uncomfortable. Most will make you think "wait, did I just get called out?" This is poetry for people who don't read poetry. Written in frustration during the doom-scroll spiral. Inspired from philosophers. Just honest chaos from someone who refu...

Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram

            

22nd January 2024 - The Auspicious Pran Pratistha day 

I'm glad to know that Shri Ram, the greatest emperor in the history of mankind has finally returned to the Sacred land of Ayodhya. This day i.e. 22nd of January, 2024, the day of Pran Pratistha, will be remembered by generations to come. Lord Ram has finally come home after a 500 year long wait. This monumental occasion marks a significant moment in the cultural and religious tapestry of not only our nation, but the entire world. This occasion shows that India is now regaining its past glory of being the greatest civilisation and is no more a vassal of colonisers. As we traverse through the Ramayana Series, let's reflect on the enduring legacy of Lord Ram and the newfound cultural resonance in the heart of Ayodhya. Jay Shri Ram!

Intellect or Strength?

There lived two boys — X and Y. They had been natural friends since childhood, relying on each other's support due to their vastly different yet complementary qualities. X possessed a fit, wrestler-like physique, always believing that physical strength was the greatest asset. On the other hand, Y was a mentally intelligent chap who firmly supported the supremacy of intellect. Their frequent debates always revolved around one question — Which is better: strength or intellect? One day, Y devised a clever plan to prove his point and outsmart X. He invited X to his home for a sugarcane juice party, promising to arrange the refreshments himself. X, thrilled by the invitation, reached Y's home early, eagerly waiting for the treat. Meanwhile, Y went to the market and ordered two glasses of sugarcane juice for takeaway. When he returned, he greeted X with an exaggerated smile. "Welcome, my esteemed guest! Please make yourself comfortable while I, your humble host, serve you the fi...

The Helpful Magan

The Helpful Magan In the quaint village of Pataliputra, a humble woodcutter named Magan faced not only the challenges of earning a living but also a severe illness that made him an outcast. Afflicted by a disease that repelled others, Magan led a solitary life. One day, fate intervened as King Ashok of Pataliputra ventured into the forest for a hunt. Resting near a river, an ill-intentioned spy from a rival kingdom seized the opportunity to push the king into the water, disappearing without a trace. The king, unable to swim, cried out for help. Magan, drawn by the king's distress, rushed to the riverbank, accompanied by his friends. Swiftly, Magan threw a rope into the river, aiding the struggling king to safety. Despite the grave risk, Magan's act of compassion prevailed. However, Magan's friends, oblivious to the king's identity, revealed Magan's condition, earning the ire of King Ashok. Quick to anger, the king sentenced them to death. In a plea for mercy, Magan ...

  Manas, Tejas, and Bruzo: The Day They Faced the Witch at the Park Manas and Tejas — best friends with a perfect balance of qualities. Tejas, strong and fearless, always ready to confront challenges head-on. Manas, sharp and strategic, who believed brains and calm thinking win the day.

How Valiyo became Valmiki!

In the heart of a dense jungle, a notorious robber named Valiyo made his living through robbery. He was feared by travellers and revered by his family, who relied on his stolen goods to sustain their lives. One day, Sage Narada, the ever-mischievous celestial bard known for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, happened to pass through the jungle. As always, Narada was dressed in simple robes, carrying his veena, and chanting “Narayana, Narayana!” in a melodious rhythm. Valiyo spotted him from afar and mistook him for a wealthy priest. “This man must have hidden riches,” he thought, eyeing Narada’s attire and veena with suspicion. With a wicked grin, Valiyo drew a sharp knife from the folds of his dhoti and concealed himself in the bushes, ready to strike. As Narada drew nearer, Valiyo leapt out, brandishing his knife. “Stop right there, Brahmana!” he bellowed. “Hand over all your riches, or I’ll chop you to pieces with this blade!” Narada, undisturbed, responded calmly, “Narayana, Narayana! De...
