Featured Poem :

Today, we have two featured participants: (1) Behind Door Number 3 and Orangepeel, where you’ll find very differnt, but compelling, takes on Day 7’s postcard prompt.

1

Behind Door No 3

Postcard, unwritten.

The sound of his laughter,

as slick as watermelon seeds,

tastes like the feeling of

bare feet running through

a sprinkler made rainbow

hovering above the thick

scent of a shaded, mown lawn.

There is a wicker porch chair

proposing a seamless, wide-angle

view of this scene; its empty

cushions missing the welcomed

weight of your presence, and

the posture of all the stories

you would have told.

2.

Orangepeel

Postcard to the Ex

There's a bear in the back yard

and piranhas in the kitchen sink.

The kids are dressing like clowns

and the bank took back the TV.

The car lost a wheel and a door.

Someone painted our windows black.

Your favorite chair caught fire,

and last night during the storm,

a huge tree limb crashed

through the bedroom ceiling

and onto your side of the bed.

Wish you were here.

Poetry Resource :

Our featured resource today is this animated video of a talk given by the poet Jane Hirshfield on the art of the metaphor.

The Elephant in the Room, Still waters run deep.

Fog

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Mother to Son

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

Well, son, I’ll tell you:

Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

It’s had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.

But all the time

I’se been a-climbin’ on,

And reachin’ landin’s,

And turnin’ corners,

And sometimes goin’ in the dark

Where there ain’t been no light.

So boy, don’t you turn back.

Don’t you set down on the steps

’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.

Don’t you fall now—

For I’se still goin’, honey,

I’se still climbin’,

And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Prompt : Today, we challenge you to write a poem that centers around an encounter or relationship between two people (or things) that shouldn’t really have ever met – whether due to time, space, age, the differences in their nature, or for any other reason.

Our ( optional) prompt for the day takes its inspiration from Laura Foley’s poem “Year End.”

Year End

I want to bury him

though I doubt it's appropriate

for a butterfly.

Perhaps I'll climb the icy hill,

trudge through woods and slippery snow,

to place him as close as I can to sky,

in the field he would have floated over,

on his way to Mexico,

if October hadn't been too cold for flight.

The orange-and-black-winged beauty

thrived, in his screened-in cage,

lit with purple happy lights,

and fed every day by hand,

his proboscis dipped in honey water,

until, on Christmas day,

he birthed three sacs of sperm,

a rare gift for me these days.

Finding no mate,

he folded his wings and died,

face pressed into the New Year's daisy

I gave him, as a human lover might.

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Poem Title : Lost in Sugga Falls

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

We sat on the warm wet rocks of the graded gentle Sugga Falls

Named after the fabled Parrot of the legend of lovers

An Australian priest sang about in the unfamiliar language of the Munda tribe

With brushwood and ferns and mosses filling in the gaps

Left by the teak, sal, arjun, aasan, mahua, semal, palaash trees

For the sands of the Koel river and her husband explained

To the doctor couple from Delhi the healthcare needs

Of the local population. Trout leaped in the sunlit stream and I thought

One could not be closer to heaven, so I asked her

How long she would stay and she replied

“ I miss the bright lights and the malls.

I’m leaving next week. How soon do you think my husband’s deputation papers will come through ? “

Blind, blind, blind. And thus lost around us everyday.

To Test Harassment, West Bengal Faculty Asks Boys, Ladies to Attend Lessons On Totally different Days

http://tinyurl.com/y5fj2kxs Training Minister Partha Chatterjee has ordered an inquiry. (Representational) Malda:  To verify harassment, a government-run college in West Bengal’s Malda district has issued a directive asking female and male college students to attend college on totally different days of the week. The choice by the Girija Sundari Vidya Mandir in Habibpur space of Malda Sadar subdivision drew flak from the administration, which termed the transfer “weird” and referred to as for its withdrawal. Headmaster Rabindranath Pande claimed that the college was compelled to take such a step following a number of complaints of harassment. “It was, therefore, determined that the lady college students will attend college on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, whereas the boys will come on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,” Mr Pande stated. “Since its implementation, operations have been easy.” Training Minister Partha Chatterjee has ordered an inquiry. “Such a choice can by no means be supported. We’ve got requested the officers to inquire into the matter and it needs to be instantly withdrawn.” The president of the West Bengal Council of Increased Secondary Training, Mahua Das, referred to as the directive “weird” and stated the division was not consulted.

This time I touched upon a few parts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. My route was Bangalore to Nagpur, Nagpur to Katni, Katni to Bandhavgarh, Bandhavgarh to Ajmer, Ajmer to Pushkar, Pushkar to Kumbhalgarh , Kumbhalgarh to Udaipur, and Udaipur to Kota. 15 days long tour and Mishra ji descended into our lives as our driver who picked us up from Ajmer.

As soon as I reached Ajmer, I asked Mishra Ji to take me to Ajmer Shareef Dargah without realizing that Mishra ji belonged to Allahabad (or is it Prayag Raj now?) and his Brahmin soul coupled with a Shiv Sena heart would be disappointed at my act.

Mishraji said, ‘We might get late, you really want to visit dargah’? I said, ‘Yes I want to visit Ajmer Dargah and Pushkar Brahma temple before we reach Kumbhalgarh.’

Mishraji, ’It’s difficult to take car near Dargah so will arrange for an auto (a 3-wheeler / tuk-tuk).’ I said, ‘fine’.

Now the Autowala enters the story. He too is a strict vegan but did take us till the Dargah entrance gate. That, is a confluence of narrow lanes with drainage on both sides leading to a comparatively thicker road, called the Dargah road. Definitely not a comfortable experience but the auto drivers sure have great skills.

It was a Friday (aka Jumme ka din) and I hadn’t realized what I was getting into. The road was overly crowded; everyone trying to jostle his/her way around to reach to the entrance. And in addition, there were plentiful beggars occupying their designated territories on the road.

Somehow and anyhow we entered. I bought a Chadar and some flowers. It was 3 pm and the main door was to open at 3.30pm so we waited as I wanted to really visit the main shrine that my hubby has often spoken to me about. Ajmer Shareef is the resting place of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a Persian Sufi who had come to India in the early 13th century from Herat and stayed here forever.

  Like temples, here too we found some souls who consider themselves direct messengers of God. They usually position themselves near main gates, ready to bless you in return for the money you pay them. Below Rs 100 is not really respected, mind that.

My experience at the Dargah on a Jumma wasn’t great. I wasn’t able to pray peacefully for the same God send souls and my son had started crying inside due to the crowd almost at the verge of a stampede.

After we came out of Dargah, we called the Autowala to the same spot where he had left. We narrated our pain and spoke about the management in Dargah.

Autowala said, ’Madam even Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India didn’t go to the Dargah when he came to Ajmer, why did you go? You are a Brahmin. We Hindus bow down before everyone but others don’t. They don’t even take our prasad (religious offering). I am staying in Ajmer since long but not even once I have entered the Dargah.’

Hmmm…

Anyway, we shifted ourselves back to the waiting car. Our conversation also shifted from religion to politics.

I asked Mishraji, ‘Have you visited this Dargah? ‘

Mishraji ‘Yes, just once when one of my clients from Hyderabad insisted on it. I don’t like the energy. People are different.’

‘Energy is not dependent on religion. It is the person’, I said.

Mishraji to me ‘Madam, have you seen the communal riots in India?’

I, drawing into the conversation, egged on, ‘on TV but never been part of the scene.’

Mishraji ‘I have and I know how people are. Problem is we Hindus are not united. When something happens to us, we don’t take revenge the way others join hands and come out on roads to kill us.  We, on the other hand, visit their Dargahs and Pir Babas.’

I was quiet. Thought, let’s do Pushkar now to cool Mishra Ji down.

At Pushkar, life was peaceful, the crowd being less and manageable; however, we took more than the expected time and it was 6.30 pm already. By the time we came out, Mishraji said, ’I called many drivers and everyone suggested not to drive to Kumbhalgarh at this hour.

Mishraji suggested that we should halt for the night and drive in the morning. ‘It would take 6-7 hrs to reach Kumbhalgarh and roads are not good. There are wild animals. By the time we get out of Pushkar and then Ajmer to get to the highway, it would be 8-8.30 pm. Which means reaching Kumbhalgarh by 1.30 – 2 am. Very dangerous.’

I said, ‘It’s ok. We in fact keep visiting jungles to see wild animals but don’t get to find enough of them. If we have to go through the jungle road full of wild animals, it’s even better. And I checked google, it won’t take that long.’

‘One should be scared of humans these days and not animals. Other than animals, is there anything else that worries you Mishraji?’

Madam, ‘have you stayed in jungles? Not in hotels as in but in the interiors of jungles.’

‘In Bori jungle in Satpura with a family and friends group including a forest officer. But there were four walls to sleep in.’

‘Madamji, I have stayed in jungles and slept on top of my car. This was in jungles of Chhattisgarh. I was the driver who would take tribal workers in the jungle to collect stuff like Rubber, Mahua, wood etc. Everyday, at the gate they used to count people as not all were expected to come back.’

Mishra Ji continued, unabated, ‘Jungles has many things…’

‘You mean ghosts?’

‘Yeah…they are there on highways too. Have you experienced it madamji?’

‘Nope…’

‘I have many times.’ Thereafter, Mishraji proceeded to explain the difference between a Chudail (Witch) and Pretatma (Ghost). In between, Mishraji kept asking my mum questions on Geeta, Hindu Dharma, meditation, our purpose and about mythological characters assuming that she was an authentic Dadi Nani (Indian Granny) character straight from an ideal Hindu household.

As a result, both my mum and my son slept as soon as we hit the highway after Beawar leaving me and Mishraji to do the driving, navigation & figuring out part. My son was tired and my mom chose to snore rather than answering Mishraji’s mythological missiles.

It was getting late and Mishraji didn’t seem confident in the dark given his age (55+) so we both requested Sir Google to show us the route.  I was on the back seat with my son in my lap. Since my phone battery was low I needed to use Mishraji’s charger which only worked when I would bend a little as the wire was short. You can imagine my plight!

By God’s grace, my phone didn’t ditch me for the first time. We drove past the highway, then couple of small villages and then Mishra Ji’s dreaded Jungle all in the dark with just one headlight in the car as the other one had stopped working since Beawar.

A little tension, a little discomfort, a little belief and a little prayer made this ordinary journey thrilling. We finally reached Kumbhalgarh at 12.30 midnight having learnt about all sorts of ghosts and how to identify them apart from seminal discourses on religion, Moksha and meditation, courtesy Mishra Ji from Allahabad. My two partners woke up only when we reached the hotel in Kumbhalgarh. They were oblivious of what they had missed.

Here are next day’s pictures on a bright sunny day, but obviously without Mishra Ji.

Ajmer to Kumbhalgarh in conversation with Mishra ji from Allahabad This time I touched upon a few parts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. My route was Bangalore to Nagpur, Nagpur to Katni, Katni to Bandhavgarh, Bandhavgarh to Ajmer, Ajmer to Pushkar, Pushkar to Kumbhalgarh , Kumbhalgarh to Udaipur, and Udaipur to Kota.

Mexico has Tequila. Scotland has Scotch. Brazil has Cachaça. In a country as wide and diverse as India, can we really not come up with a signature liquor that can be exported across the globe? Sure, we have popular local spirits like Fenny and Toddy, but for legal and practical reasons, neither of those are ever going to conquer the global. Not yet, anyway.  However, there is one company that has taken it upon themselves to challenge this status quo. DesmondJi Crafts and Liquors became famous for their take on Tequila - or Indian Agave Spirits, as founder Desmond Nazareth is quick to correct me. Their determination to create high quality liquors based on more obscure, yet popular, ingredients such as sugarcane and agave has led to the establishment of a trusted brand in both India and abroad. It is only natural that their next big challenge would be to finally promote an Indian-based liquor to the world. In a wide-ranging talk with Nazareth on everything from the influence of meteors on Tequila's connection with India to the surprising method by which "Indian Made Foreign Liquors" are actually made, the man behind DesmondJi reveals one important facet of his character. He sees alcohol as more than just a part of a relaxed Friday night; it's an opportunity to land India on the map. And he has a plan to do it too. DesmondJi recently released their take on a popular Central Indian homemade liquor called Mahua. Primarily distilled from the Mahua flower, it is drunk by millions of people from Maharashtra to West Bengal, with rumours that there are even some villages as far north as Assam that brew the stuff.  While DJ's Mahua is different from the original moonshine that the villagers drink - the bottled beverage comes in at 40% alcohol content compared to a much lower 9%-12% in the home-brewed batches - Nazareth rightly sees this as a chance for India to bring a part of their alcohol heritage to the world. And it is not just an issue of national pride; if Mahua becomes popular, that means potential jobs for the millions of tribal and rural brewers that know the alcohol like the back of their hand.v TheBigScope is India’s first multi-channel livestream TV venture, featuring lifestyle, living, music and business content.
