Him


Anant. Akhand. Anadi.
Unending. Inseparable. Unborn.

During the Mahabharata, Arjuna has questions about the whereabouts of God. What is God? Does He have a beggining or an end? Lord Krishna replies to all his questions with the three words: Anant. Akhand. Anadi.

Castles of Sand

What do sea shells mean
to one who has never seen the beach
never seen
white froth
and happiness swelling till it bursts

What do children mean
to one who can't have any

Why do you
turn on the fan
right after building a palace
painfully
with your deck of cards

Why does the night seem endless
Why is warmth
absent
when you need it

Why is there
no silence
just when you need it

Why do we
continue living
in our castles
of sand.
