Ranning in Kutch



Travelled miles and miles away to travel millenia and millenia back
Life flourished amidst harsh desert waves
Now the salt reflects the old images,
Sometimes one's own image.. a hazy one
Ruins to remind the future is not too far away

Colours of Indigo, precision of hand, patience of an ascetic
An art which tears the eyes and tears the pocket
Swinging to and fro... some in shops and some in thoughts
Beauty to the eyes and bajra to the stomachs

The utsav became a reason to reveal the vaastav
The sun had set
Cold winds and heavy hearts
Every rose has it's thorn...........

Rare rogan, jingle bells, wood, leather and colour
All too good to witness from the outside
Stinks with disparity at a closer look
Some perfume their ego in the name of philanthropy

A deserted city amidst the desert
A wall to climb
Only to feel a blip in the vastness of space and time
Rationalizations for consolations

Brownian motion on the streets... Not entirely random though
Patterns emerge from apparently chaotic movements
A candle flame among the population of moths
Low tides and heavy souls

Parallel tracks, parallel berths, train of thoughts and emotions
Hearts beeping fast and rough
Not asking where will it lead to
Because it is the journey that counts.......
