Serenity

You'll see the

Serenity on my
Face, when you
Put me to rest.

That you'll know
Will be the best.

Eternal peace at last.

Free from life's test.

Dearth

There's a dearth of

Genuine people on
This earth.

Facades are
Everywhere,
So are the masks
And pretensions,
Creating false
Impressions....

Visual

Away from all the
Chaos and noise,
I see the faraway
Blue sea, and feel
So happy :)

Freedom

Financial freedom
Is easier to achieve.

Emotional freedom?
Never achieved !!!

Twenty-One

Having joined Boloji as Poetry Editor in April 2005, last month I completed 21 years of editing and publishing over 27,000 poems.

In many religions and traditions, 21 is an auspicious number.

So to mark this auspicious year with Boloji, I thought of sharing an AC Shayari and a BBC Documentary with you :)

Azaan

Kanon Mein
Mere Azaan
De Raha Hai

Bahut Dinon
Se Mujhe
Koi Bula
Raha Hai


The shayari is by me, but the credit for this stupendous documentary with brilliant photography and captivating narration goes to Martin Dohrn, Dave Allen and Steve White. If you have 50 minutes to spare, this is a must-watch. Their scintillating videography will transport you to the world of birds and their murmurations. So don't miss this! Happy Viewing :)

Easter Parade (1948)

I saw this movie on Easter Sunday (5th April, 2026).

It was a lovely end to a beautiful day after a special Easter dinner with my family.

I think the men outshone the women in this film.

I loved the roles played by Fred Astaire and Peter Lawford.

Judy Garland and Ann Miller were good but I liked the men more.

Fred Astaire's dance steps were superb. His talent mesmerises...

Peter Lawford charmed me with his looks and charisma.

I was smiling all through the movie :) It had some very nice songs and some really funny scenes.

What I enjoyed the most was the choreography.

You must make time to see this romantic musical. It will not disappoint you.

It will be time well spent. Here's the BBC link where the film is being shown.

AI

There he goes

Chatting with AI
For endless hours...
The wife is forgotten
So are the children...
