Cocoa-Nut.

The first time my blog is featuring a collaboration. I wrote this with Arjun Kanungo in Goa while sipping some hot chocolate and watching the wind and rain slay the coconut trees.

Cocoa-Nut.

I shouldn't have taken that flight
Because I've ended up spending the night
On top of a coconut tree.
I did it to better my sight, I think,
I did it to better my might, I think,
But got stuck here, unfortunately.

The wind now is not forgiving,
And I've questioned the meaning of living
On top of the coconut tree.
My underwear is tearing,
Yes, the one my bum is wearing
Holding the weight of me.

Oh! How it feels to hang by a thread,
If I was home, I would wet my bed,
But NO, I'm on a coconut tree!
The alcohol went to my head,
Which now just feels like lead
And this is definitely not where I should be.

I really need to get down,
Without tearing more of my nightgown
On top of this coconut tree.
I barely remember how I got here,
Not a lot is really very clear
Except that I need someone to BLOODY RESCUE ME!

Window Plane.

Wrote this on my flight back to Bombay after my Phuket-Bangkok trip in June, 2011.
Just a passing wind of thoughts, like everything else outside the aircraft...

Window Plane


The red light flashing on the wing
Doesn't mean a thing
When it's just me
The stars reflecting the city lights
Just don’t seem as bright
When it’s just me,
How solitary.

Not even turbulent weather
Can stir up a storm whenever
It’s just me,
Water trickling down clear glass,
The reflection of my only mask
When it’s just me
And I’m solitary.

Lightning wars in the clouds,
A witness to the heavenly shroud
And it’s just me.
But thoughts of you when I’m high,
My childish cravings in the sky
Fill the seat beside me
Though I’m still solitary.
