From Monochrome In 2022-2023 To Colour in 2023-2024
In September 2022 I completed 10 Years as a childless widow.
To commemorate that landmark, I dedicated the past 12 months to innumerable pen sketches in stark Black and White with the tag line:
"With the abject darkness given,
Beauty I sought to create,
Made slits in that canvas of black,
To allow light to infiltrate."
In September 2023, I embarked on a new series of pen sketches, in the colours that I love.

Is It In My Destiny?
Is It In My Destiny?
"What was hidden in my heart,
Now on my lips a-quiver,
Awaiting a window of opportunity,
To it, to its recipient deliver."

A Contract Of The Soul?
A Contract Of The Soul?
"Is there a thing called 'soul-mates'?
Is there 'past life affiliation'?
Do 'twin flames' exist,
Looking for reconciliation?"

Maverick Imagination 🐈🐈🐈😢😔💔💔💔
Frodo🐈💔, BinDee🐈💔, Finch🐈💔,
After spending on it,
Just weeks, far too few,
Itty, bitty kittens three,
To Earth have bid Adieu,

Tuxedo Panther ❤️
Starring Lil' Binks (aka ZacharyFur) as the Tuxedo Panther ❤️
Any distressed kitten
Just has to cry out "MEW!"
In rushes the Tuxedo Panther
To it's rescue.

छोटी सी बात
Songwriters: Salil Chowdhury / Yogesh
छोटी सी बात ❤
न जाने क्यूँ,
होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ
अचानक ये मन
किसी के जाने के बाद
करे फिर उसकी याद
छोटी छोटी सी बात
न जाने क्यूँ
वो अंजान पल ढल गये कल
आज वो रंग बदल बदल
मन को मचल मचल रहें, न चल
न जाने क्यूँ
वो अंजान पल
सजे बिना मेरे नैनों मे
टूटे रे हाय रे सपनों के महल
न जाने क्यूँ
होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ
अचानक ये मन
किसी के जाने के बाद
करे फिर उसकी याद
छोटी छोटी सी बात
न जाने क्यूँ
वही है डगर
वही है सफ़र है नहीं
साथ मेरे मगर अब मेरा हमसफ़र
इधर उधर ढूँढे नज़र वही है डगर
कहाँ गईं शामें मदभरी
वो मेरे, मेरे वो दिन गये किधर
न जाने क्यूँ
होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ
अचानक ये मन
किसी के जाने के बाद
करे फिर उसकी याद
छोटी छोटी सी बात
न जाने क्यूँ

13 Years, 620 Poems
30.06.2022
12 months seem to have gone by in a flash and here I am once again to celebrate a fresh milestone - 620 poems in 13 years.
Cuz Joao Marcedo you put me on the world map in 2015 and shored up my conviction in my mission and myself. Every milestone since I dedicate to you.
My survival as a poet with an audience would not have been possible without you, who visit my blog and your continued belief in me and my gift of verse.
A heartfelt Thank You! 🙏🏽 to each of you for your continued encouragement and moral support.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

12 Years, 571 Poems
How swiftly another year has gone by!
I wrote my first poem on 01.07.2009, and as the sunsets on the 12th year, my anthology boasts of 571 poems.
You could say, it's been a fruitful 12 years.
To the One Whom I Hold In Awe, my humble gratitude 🙏🏾
To each and every one of you who have been kind towards my efforts, much love ❤️
To Tinta (K Jacinta Rao) & Reena Shukla, my patient sounding-boards, many virtual hugs 🤗

Projecting, Interpreting
You did not see me,
While
you were reading my words
You saw the
caricature,
That you
have built up of me
Cloaked in the
projections of your own mind-set.
Onto whatever I
said/wrote
You put
tone to my words
Nuanced
my phrases
Restructured
my punctuation
Assigned
intentions
..... According to your perceptions
In short, you
projected your interpretations onto my words
And so you
missed out,
On the
beauty of my mind
Its unique
approach to issues,
The careful and
precise usage
Of
language to communicate a thought.
... And
as a result, communication failed and we both lost.
