words

Words

Be careful of words,
even the miraculous ones.
For the miraculous we do our best,
sometimes they swarm like insects
and leave not a sting but a kiss.
They can be as good as fingers.
They can be as trusty as the rock
you stick your bottom on.
But they can be both daisies and bruises.
Yet I am in love with words.
They are doves falling out of the ceiling.
They are six holy oranges sitting in my lap.
They are the trees, the legs of summer,
and the sun, its passionate face.
Yet often they fail me.
I have so much I want to say,
so many stories, images, proverbs, etc.
But the words aren't good enough,
the wrong ones kiss me.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
but with the wings of a wren.
But I try to take care
and be gentle to them.
Words and eggs must be handled with care.
Once broken they are impossible
things to repair.

Samudra Manthan

Angels and Demons Gathered to churn the Milky way, in search of the elixir of life. Apart from many other things, They Came upon the most dangerous poison which would destroy the universe. Shiva came to the rescue and drank the poison. Thats when his neck turned blue, and he became neelkanth.

Shiva Calendar

The character in my film might have
A calendar like this in his room.
Every night at 12, when the day is done, he crossed out the date from the calendar.

I'm interested by the phenomenon which is becoming more and more common. As cities expand into the homes of wild animals, There are more and more instances of lost animals straying to the cities.
