loss

one glimpse at me
i lost my world
most of life I thought any loss can be overcome and consoled myself for the temporary grief
now i know no loss is possible to overcome it is permanent
my loss of my world is not recoverable
in one stroke i lost the resource that made my world possible
I lost use of my memory and my imagination
i cannot regret nor appreciate
i lost my speech repertoire of words
i am rendered silent

every day loss is loss
my 68 plus years loss is permanent cannot be overcome
i have to goodbye all everyday and any moment without missing a beat or breath
i cannot even look back and recollect
one glimpse of me and my world is set forever
never to rise again
i am a past gambler denied entry in the casino for all time
door to my world is forever closed
what a purposeless ostracized existence
window shopping
my world is billion million light years away

non american

several months back i was asked by some of my guests if i am to cast my vote for president again, would i cast on trump. i was peeved at trump on his choice of cabinet and governance. nothing seem to work. there is too much of negativity in the air. the agenda is continuing even after 2 years of election of President as it was 2 years before election - 'trump is not presidential'. clintons obamas and the whole of democratic party could not derail trump from becoming president. agenda is still on. if i cannot be president then i shall not allow anyone to function as president even if he is the president. the world is seeing the drama that is taking place and enjoying it at the expense of america. my choice at the next election is clear none from Democratic party. that party is a hoax. clintons obamas are jokers with misaligned personalities. if trump is biased by his family, democrats are deranged personalities - self seeking self promoting; there is no place of another indiv...

dinkar

dinkar was my colleague for one year at asci. when asci was breaking up after dr banerji, he wished i join him at new venture at patna an it service company. he promised me accomodation and food. i did not go. i had my dreams. i was fond of dinkar. he did some ms from us. his reason for ms was his inferiority complex - his wife was phd in zoology from ranchi. he was always bubbling loud with enthusiasm. he was very interested in quizzing and drinking.  he used to look forward to drinking at his home. he had a collection of records of folk music from caribbean island that he would play loud and sing loud. but his aim was to get knocked out at the end of the drinking session. the last episode. his wife would be silently watching his progress. after he gets knocked out, it is her responsibility to drag him to bed. nizwar another colleague of mine preferred to call him drinker. i used to live very far away from him in a hilltop stone cottage. on weekends he would travel  about ...
