Hush!

lull a by

Hush, little child,
In your dreams hide,
While we divide,
Plunder and ride,
Into the dark side.

Hush, little child,
Hold on to what’s worth,
Our minds: numb with dirt,
Crass online mirth,
Cat memes. T-shirts.

Hush, little child,
Lest I your spirit spite;
But you’ll hear of souls pried,
To feed (strong)men’s weak pride,
While the loved ones cried.

Hush, little child,
Survive. Thrive!
This world, revive,
With these words five:
Love will keep us alive.

The changing face of India

I am now at a railway station Trivandrum, Kerala, India. I flipped open my laptop and was surprised to find that the place was a WiFi hotspot and I could browse the net. Now such a thing in such a place would have been unthinkable a few years back. So I took a snap from my bluetooth enabled K700 and am posting it straight off the phone and on the railway platform! I love the changing face of India :-)
