Outliers or Liars

Applying all statistical stunts, from normalisation to bell curve, then drawing subjective conclusions and after everything, claiming to have done a perfectly professional and humane appraisal is nothing less than a catastrophe.

God, Make Pain Passe

While in pain       Pray both hands clasped When intense,      More air be grasped. Stay aware of       What you are Hurts much more –      If sore, beware. Hold on, and swear      Devil is now nowhere;  Be damned they be,      Who aren’t proud to

Time Up

More people gathered in front of me now, than I could count. Restless, I am, thinking of what could be the outcome today.  I am fighting a heart which is about to burst any time. I had lost many opportunities that I was blessed with earlier. Firstly, it was my elders both at home as

​THE CONTEMPORARY GIANTS

Un-fair Wear and Tear

Ridiculed over my approach to life, a number of times, by a number of people, I never took them as seriously, until it was from one of my siblings. Had it dawned on me during my young years, I should have snapped off all relations. But now, with my greying hair – partly growing bald,

Jio – Chug Chug Jio
