On My Way To A Graveyard by utkarsh sharma

. On my way to a graveyard,

Which was just across the Kyle.

Though the thought curdled my dead blood,

But i merely gave a smile.

.The weather was sleety,

Though it wasn't the month of July.

But what is there to worry about,

When you're detached from the city, nearby.

. Eros, philos and agape,

were something from which I have always waived.

No wonder why their absence,

Have gradually led me to my grave.

.So pleasant was the smell of orchids,

So soft the land where once we bantered,

So cold is the air that went touching my coffin,

But no more....

.As i was lowered,

Even the maskmen sobbed.

And i assured myself,

That my cognizance will never be robbed.

.Now that I lay peacefully,

under the moonlight and sunny gay,

Nothing is better than the reverential silence,

That surrounds me here.

Chilling weather with a huge shower of snow was a surprise for the new guests. There is an old graveyard on the road back of the hotel, nearly 1 mile away. Every Saturday I take a walk to the burial ground through the dead silent road. I sit next to the tombstone of Mrs. Whiteman. For now, she is in some sort of solitary confinement. I really want to dig deep in the ground to look for her and find out what’s really going on down there. Death no more lives here, as according to the records since last three years not a single corpse has been here. But there is an off...

A Good Deed (2/4)

A GOOD DEED -Utkarsh Sharma 2. Mayanagri (2/4) (image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogeshwari_railway_station) I arrived at Jogeshwari station which was about 25 kilometres from the city of Mumbai. The place was ten times more crowded than the biggest cattle shed in my village. Uncle Ramjit had sent me a text message earlier containing the full address of the ‘chawl’ where I can reside for a few weeks. I kept my luggage down so that I could take a look at the address from my mobile phone. ‘Chawl no 23. Station road, jogeshwari east, jogeshwari, Mumbai ’ I kept my mobile back in my pocket and bend to pick up my bags. A bolt out of the blue stuck me when I found one of my bags missing. I ran my eyes everywhere possible. The huge mass around me made it impossible to find an open space. My eyes ran, fastidiously, over every person to some distant. All in vai...

Don’t hold him back emotionally.’ said baba. ‘I will be all right aai. I should leave now.’ Baba helped me with the luggage while I was taking blessings from aai who was reluctant for me to leave. “Have a safe journey, son. Take care of yourself and remember ‘a good deed always comes around’. ‘A good deed always comes around.’ Aai has been saying this since my childhood.

She treats everyone with warmth and with a ‘smile’. She also makes it sure that her teachings of goodwill and generosity is implanted within me too. Nevertheless, her efforts didn’t go in vain.
