Radha’s Song To Krishna

Dear Krishna, Your eyes cast an enchanting spell, In those galaxies I revel, Oft lost in them, I, Radha, hopelessly wallow, It’s your path I always follow, your heart would tell. In your absence long seem my days, Weaving your image my heart stays, I pine for...

Boxed

It’s time to shift, yet againโ€“to a new house, new city. I sort and pack clothes, books, and wrap the chinaware painstakingly, again and again, just the way I do everytime we shift. My mind knows the drillโ€“like the sequenced dots and dashes of a morse code. And...
