Reflection – The link between Experience and Learning

I write because someone wrote to me today. Caught up in my new job teaching two courses to MA students studying Human Resource Management at my very own alma mater, I have not had much time for reflection in these last couple of months, which by the way, should explain the lack of activity (poetry) [ READ MORE ]

A Fresh Love Song Every Night

Sometimes in the moonless darkness - Lamp posts peeping in Through the slits in the blinds Marveling At the flawless geometry of your body; Watching me watching you In equal amazement. And at other times The dim stars mesmerized; Gazing from Behind autumn trees As your copper body melts into mine In an immaculate Unbroken pool of moonlight. . Nothing [ READ MORE ]

You left me your moon

On a train journey night When you found the moon traveling with us Knocking incessantly At the window of our compartment, You exclaimed suddenly - ‘Moon!

Love: Unequivocal

I shall hold fort And endure time (till the end of it), Only if you by my side Stay; Or I too Will swear life off, If and when You decide to walk away! . There is But only one way Love speaks - It speaks Unequivocally; And there are no two ways About its [ READ MORE ]

At What Cost

A dream obliterated in Pursuit of mediocrity And life, In a flash, Gone; Left behind is An apparition of the self, With the humongous eons To atone[ READ MORE ]

Burn

Burn, If you are after light Burn, For If you burn not You shall rot. . You might escape the heat, But Despite what you have Always been told, It is much worse To rot cold. . I wish you could See for yourself, I wish it could show, But we all got to do [ READ MORE ]
