Exceptional she, like a Peacock DancedContinue reading “Dance of a Phoenix”

The surfing sound crashing the walls of my turbulent mind roared quite silent. The hollow of the wall thus seen, Had a life within, breathing still battling for its existence. The Sea God violent and stormy mended its currents, circle at the very heart, hitting my wall time and again. Eroded, the thick walls ofContinue reading “Calm Down, Dear Sea…”

This temple is situated in the vicinity of Kerala’s cultural capital, Thrissur(dist), to be precise Kodungallur, around 40 kilo meters away from Thrissur. One of the traditional temple structureContinue reading “Unwinding Temples: Goddess Temple, Kodungallur.”

Blind and furious The wintry night today echoes a rough sea. She swayed with gusto Spreading her inky,coal black hair Her ebony gown Lacquered silver gloss Cast mystic incense throughout the depth of silence. Horrifying me Her boogie rolling steps Thundered on earth’s crust.
