furiously trying to drill
baby, drill
circling the drill site
pushing and pushing
Do mosquitos sweat?

It deserves more than 5 stars!
The story ends with two messages perfectly conveyed.
1. Don't waste your time in search of love while you are studying.
2. The current caste-based reservation system in India is flawed.

I can't disagree here.

What a magician Atul is! Such romance, poetry, love, heartbreak, action and what not!

Surely a class apart than most popular novelists!
Thanks for the compliments, dear Kalpana Arora.

you said you can read me like a book
but you won't tell me what my pages say, or how many there are,
what my chapters are titled, if they even are titled
i want to know
who my introduction mentions,
what my author's note says,
and who helped me with the theme
but honestly, please
at least tell me about the chapter where you appear
just let me know if it ends well

I have a hope
To rise and shine
To go divine
I know I can
I feel I can

But I am here
In cry and pain
Because I am in a cage
Of fear and the place
Where I live


I see the world
Which travels up to the moon
But I am here waiting for a boon

I wish to become the one Titled
Just give me a chance
Let me fly
Let me dance


I don't know why they tight me
In the ropes of their rituals
I want to be the star
I want to be intellectual

I wish to get titled
Let me go for it
For which I am
meant to be
Just give me a chance
I beg for it
Let me go there
Where I fit


Let me
Before it's too late
Before I die
Yes...I wrote it for myself and it's my story but it's a story of people like me too who live in a small city of India...India is a developing country but still developing but still developing in some big areas ...not like ours...it's developing here but until an extent...and development is very slow in front of rituals or misconceptions or a famous dialogue of our city "What society will think?"...I wish people like me have a chanceto live to prove themselves...I am unable to say more

i'm gonna write a poem,
and i'm gonna call it
Untitled
because that is what it is.
Kind of like the way we were,
untitled.
We were nonchalant and no big deal,
and i guess you expected it to be the same
when you left.
but it's not.
Now we know why I need
a title.

Din of voices crowding out thoughts
Thoughts constructed of safety pins and toothpicks held together with spit
Spit dribbling out of the hungry mouth that yearns for companionship
Companionship which is desired but not truly felt
Felt people saunter past, their fabric feet barely touching the ground
Ground into a pulp are the vicious spiders of memory
Memory is a tactile thing that turns in contemporary web
Web of truths spinning and spinning beneath agile fingers
Fingers dug into temples' throbbing ache of words words words
Words are not enough to describe this mortal dullness
Dullness like the din of voices crowding out
**Thoughts
I have a headache

untitled; not knowing a name to put on my favorite book of how I love to waking up beside you in the morning. Or any knowledge of metaphors and fallacies that exist to define our love. I cannot put a title of the chemistry between us.
Unentitled; Your heart is not mine to love and your hand not mine to hold. I have no title or claim to any ounce, hair, or breathe that you have but I want it so much. I long to be yours, to be entitled to your everything.
