Mimosa Day

The corridors of my mind’s stretched, stretched elastic were my cab’s windows into the beyond.

MIMOSA DAY

I write but my mojo abandoned me.

Often do I write & I observe,

Then I observe & I write.

tea notebook phone But not today, nor yesterday alas.

I watched, I read, I gulped

my tea, I thought then,

why not a Mimosa!

The corridors of my mind’s stretched,

stretched elastic were my cab’s windows

into the beyond.

Mimosa sang along, with me,

one Bollywood song after another.

conjuring up my temporary home,

Gateman stopped and peered 

at Harish’s bemused face, my cabbie!

Who had been listening to my 

mimosa-fuelled musicality and 

hummed bits he could follow.

City traffic landscape“I live here now”, I yelled, rolling down the glass pane, 

then furiously hollered:

“You can’t stop me anymore!”

I then grinned as our eyes met,

he smartly saluted the Mimosa lady,

“Of course you do ma’am!” 

Grinning right back, the naughty man!

I write now as I hum.

It’s coffee-time melody,

my mojo pushing the contours of

over-stretched mental corridors, 

misshapen ideas now begin

to form.

observing watching sunsetI now write as I observe

I observe and I write. 

A Wednesday anthem on the go

Men Without Women ~ Haruki Murakami

Men Without Women ~ Haruki Murakami

Murakami’s construct leaves all of his stories open to a myriad interpretations, and that’s the beauty of his narrative.
He manages to etch distinct characters in each of his tales with remarkable dexterity and the Murakami mind observes quietly, much like the Lamprey, who live off life itself. I was agog by the sheer brilliance of an imagination that defies coherence yet draws you in, makes you believe.

The Firebird ~ Saikat Majumdar

The Firebird ~ Saikat Majumdar

Majumdar writes with great sensitivity- delving deep into the young lad’s mind, drawing from both the light and the dark that exist in tandem within. Ori senses the resentment his mother’s stage life provokes in others around him, the family and neighbours.
