  • A Child Mulling on Life Beside the Sea

    A Child Mulling on Life Beside the Sea
    Mar 28 2026
    The whole process of growing up has an inevitability- and a tragedy - attached to it. A child grows up believing - trusting everything and everyone. An innocence which is endearing - and often encouraged, possibly because of it's anachronism and the fact that an atavistic urge inside us reaches out to something which makes us remember days when we were less cynical, less pessimistic, less prone to mistrust. But how fast realities catch up. Our desire, nay, our encouragements for children to grow up to be 'good' human beings, bumps into reality checks. The advice is then tempered with small counsel like - be practical, don't be an innocent, you have to look out for yourself because who else will. In a wildly confusing world, our children end up being human beings who are copycats of others- self absorbed, confused, unreconciled and ultimately neurotic. Innocence - moribund or ignored - seeks its own burial grounds. If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on the sea and what it does to you -

  • The Art of Living

    The Art of Living
    Mar 21 2026

    I spent three days in Kochi, immersed in the art biennale. And wandering through the lanes, warehouses, waterways, and cafes of the city. The city was alive with art - representations of life, adn its anguish and joy. And hundreds of people from all over immersed in art, as something they now saw as they went to school or office.

    I recorded small pieces as I viewed the art, and have put them up here, unedited.

    They have the sound of the sea, the cadences of life as it passed even as its representation lay splattered in colour or metal in front of me. I loved doing this live recording of thoughts passing through my mind - sometimes shallow, sometimes deep. But all very me.

  • Memories of Peppermint Mocha

    Memories of Peppermint Mocha
    Mar 14 2026
    It's a startling thought, that someday sometime, there's that final time - and never again - when you will meet someone, hold someone, say that word, share that laughter. Then how do we know that it is not also the final time when we leave with a sharp word, a fight ending in tears, a time which leaves someone in despair, that final moment when the last memory is of pain given and anguish taken. Life's profundities are often written in the simplest ways - to be kind, grateful, to listen, to respond gently. Our last memory has to be the one which we can live with without guilt or pain. Then we can revisit everything which we loved about the one who has left us with gentleness, towards that memory, towards ourselves.
