Ashram.

Ashram-My band..the first folk-electronic outfit from Kolkata..Do check out our music!

Times..

Come to me when you need a cover,

I shall sprinkle days of peace on you.

There are times I want to know the end

When I see it is known by few..

Don’t pull my sleeves to kiss me soft

When you have to take your mother’s call

The little girl in rags I see,

Braving the chill as winter fall

Weed smells better smeared with hope--

The bygone urge to hold you twice,

Amidst the toxic rings of trance

Time is a thief rolling the dice.

A master piece..

Curls and the Green Tongue..

Do me love when you want to

Though I won’t complain

Those loud green faces and their bad breaths

Hold me firm till I snap out..

Out on the land of one social prayer.

From a distance I see them whine,

They ask for sacrifice

They loath the naked, they loath the truth

But then how do I?

I stay easy, while they die..

I hear my curls while they negotiate

With beauty, loss and dusks of fate

While she wonders what they wait for

While she wonders what they hate for.

Common Friends

When I see within the clothes, I see my bones yearning for much

When I see outside, I narrate a different story to myself

I tell myself “you want a lot; you want to be important

You want to be indispensable; you want to be pampered,

                                                                      You want to cry.

It is futile when you close your eyes.

All you need is apathy.

A stone washed view of the possibilities and the impossibilities---

Both turn bleary giving you a single direction”.

I do many things that I do not want to do,

I cry many tears when I do not want to lose

Then I press my face against the pillow so that no air can pass

That is when I stop life from just passing by.

Everyday I erase the line between belief and distrust

So that all seem same and I see none.

Yet, I am a creature full of love

’Would give away but not give up.

When you fight for freedom,


Do you crush those who love you?
