Innocence of youth….
Found in old sepia pictures
Times that have flown past.

Born in the year 1968, my childhood was spent amidst the beautiful scenic landscape of a small town in India, Ranchi. Though an engineer by qualification, reading, writing and cooking are my passions. Another thing that I am passionate about is my country, India. As they say, a lifetime is probably not enough to explore the whole of India. Currently based in Kolkata, I can be reached at gdutta17@gmail.com.
Twilight in City
Glowing neon signs
Defy twilight’s fading light..
Chirp outside the pub.

Money Buys
Currency notes crisp…
Flavoury notes, soft on tongue
Delightful Cuppa.

The Final Match
Start of the final
Anxiety on fans’ faces….
Dreams propel players.

Freak Spring
Sudden heat
Nor’wester rushes in..
Mayhem till it lasts.

Jewels
Hardened by nature…
Mesmerising everyone
Through generations.

Separated Lovers
Time doesn’t slip by
Melancholy rests heavy…
The distant lovers.

The Woodpecker Visits
Sound of constant blows
Every morn at my window-
Woodpecker’s red plume.

Bonds
Detached leaves of trees
Vagabond in winter breeze….
Unyielding bonds break.

Tiger
The ageing tiger
Chipped canine and reduced bite….
A man eater now.
