A sudden look grants the painting to be monochromatic.
Black, white. Not even varied shades of gray.
Just one or two at most.
Of the darkest nimbus clouds,
A tub of water polluted with a single drop of dark ink.
It makes you feel gloomy….full of apprehension.
Because you know it’s going to rain.
And you wait, wait, wai…
The clouds huddle together as closely as a cluster of buds,
Trussed together in a bouquet.
Trapped in one of the claustrophobic folds of a
Tight shut flower bud,
Where it is so dark.
The darkness enters your nostrils,
Fills your mouth.
Shoved down your throat.
The darkness chokes the bronchus, bronchioles.
Full of dense, dense darkness.
Until there is no space for anything else.
Breathe! Give me breath! Air…
And suddenly-
“May I, Monsieur, offer my services without running the risk of intruding?”
‘Twas the voice of the artist- creator.
Or should I call him the destroyer
Of my perception, interpretation.
“It depresses me,” I stated and turned back to my monochromes.
The clouds are so thick
And yet it does not rain.
The ochre earth is grassless.
And the buds stubbornly shut know not how to bloom.
Bloom! Make the petals spring open,
Let the air rush in!
“How could you smile your work to see?
Did you who painted rain, paint me?”
No words were spoken,
Nothing destroyed,
Just a twinkling smile on a face devine.
The intruder turned and walked away.
His smile left behind lingered.
And from the sparks of that fading twinkle
A drop of pain splashed into the grayness.
A butterfly purple and pink
Taking off from a closed bud
Which had refused to give pollen.
Flying to another painting perhaps.
Flying, perhaps,
To wind and rain.

Facebook: to leave or not to leave?Dear lord! What is this? Is this thing meant for the visually impaired? – Mayukh De, on the New Facebook Profiles. Well if you ask me, I kind of like the profile summary that sits at the top. Languages I speak is also a welcome addition. But the design is a #FAIL! Apart from the [...]
Hundred and One Ahmedabad NightsThe beige skirt was lifted briefly by a waft of breeze, and then rested lightly on her olive thighs, tapering down into warm, caramel legs, ending in matching beige pumps. But he wasn’t looking at any of that. What he couldn’t take his eyes off was the zip at the back of the skirt, ripping through it [...]
Has Maddox Square lost its charm?During the course of those late-night group chats, thanks to Google, me and my two old buddies, Nipon and Chandradeep were discussing on the aforesaid motion on a highly intellectual note. We ultimately decided to write this on Bong Buzz and poke others to gather opinions and ideas. Maddox Square aka Ballygunge Durga Puja Samiti, [...]
IntoxicationThe dancing colors, of half-formed words, Dancing to a frenzy, within my head, And when I close my eyes to the outer world, Heaven and Hell meet beside my bed. And the music within, it grows louder, come, Now dance the colors, just dance with me. Listen to the beating of the faraway drum, Lets [...]
Byomkesh Bakshi – Gripping!My initial delight at the news of the ressurection of the Byomkesh franchise, decades after Satyajit Ray’s Chiriakhana, was soon fraught with scepticism, for old school detective stories were by no means considered Anjan Dutt’s forte, and it remained to be seen to what effect the self-styled director, known for his comfy factor with themes like Anglo-Indian community or rock music, could revive Byomkesh!
Wisdom II – RestorationThe city was lit bright, this time by the 4th of July fireworks, red, green and fiery orange. The upside-down rock must be dark this night too, it must’ve been damp just like last time, a chilly breeze must’ve flown over it. But I will never know again because I will never go there again.
