Cartoon

Baland Iqbal   Sep 28, 2009   interacts: 2

“Papa, please help me. Look how worried I am. What has happened to me? What kind of a disease is this? No doctor has a cure for it! When I try to tell people about it, they start laughing..."

Streets of Bahadurgunj

saif ahmad   Jun 28, 2009   interacts: 9

62, Basu Road, Bahadurgunj, was the address of the ancestral house where I was born. Joint families, uncles, cousins living on different floors. The House was known as "Plot", elders forgot to name the house and everyone would call it "Plot".

Odd Jobs

Padash    Jun 8, 2009   interacts: 44

So what if you ever scrubbed a toilet in a rough time or worked at a gas station or shed every sheath of your pride at a job interview? Remember, days from now, it will merely be an interesting memory for you and only you to cherish.

The Dust and the Shadows

Beej K Singh   Apr 9, 2009   interacts: 12

There is a hardness which descends on you like a shell when you are in India, like a protective shield except it protects nobody but you – it makes you more of your own master and less of a man.

A Walk down Memory Lane

Zeejah    Apr 1, 2008   interacts: 26

Forgive me if I am not taken in by the high sounding statements issued by the winners (and losers) of Election 2008, I simply see 'more of the same' for the future.

I Thought I Heard You Laughing

Kiran Farooque   Feb 4, 2008   interacts: 12

Unlike most people I know, I don't believe in love at first sight. But the world being as mad as it is, somehow manages to make you.

I Await ...

Mateen Mahmood Mohajir   Nov 6, 2007   interacts: 2

Of what avail the melodies and glitter,
That an evening muse brings;
Life is false:
The past is faded, 'today' is a brittle 'now';

Reflections and other poems

Alberto Ceras   Sep 28, 2005   interacts: 7

looking down ourselves look back
likenesses wrinkled by the wind
then lips to mirrored lips we drink
till no water’s there
nor images, nor we.



Coffee Break

Hyder Anwar   Sep 16, 2005   interacts: 12

Come to think of it, did you realize that we didn’t even receive any training, first day, boom, they said here is this application, here is this software, we want these components by the end of this month, now start working.

In Defense of H

There are rumours circulating that after we rid of the waning moon on our flag ... a slight design flaw...the new emblem in the middle of the corrected rising moon would be...yes!...a shalwar...

Two Poems

Fakhra Hassan   Oct 28, 2004   interacts: 21

I found myself drifting into darkness
To a world strangely unknown

Life

Feroz R Khan   Aug 5, 2004   interacts: 21

We live in denial and we gladly shoot the messenger with a new message. It is not because we are afraid of the message, but because we are appalled that someone would accept it. What we do not know makes us stronger and what we do know, makes us weak

Fishing

Temporal    Jan 19, 2004   interacts: 20

Thoughts strike alike the living and the frozen. Innocent or enigmatic: they provide the wind in sails, passion in emotions. The magic potion between irresistible dreams and impossible logic: thought. And thinking? One a wind and the other cloud?

Sleeping with the Wanton Sisters

zuhair vazir   Jan 14, 2004   interacts: 6

The sensation would disturb me if it occurred under any normal circumstance, but at present it makes me feel like a human aquarium.
