A house for Mr. Biswas is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read thousands of books. AHFMB follows the life of Mr. Biswas from the moment he was born to the time when he dies. His life is very ordinary. Mr Biswas is an ambitionless man who just goes through his life trying to find some pleasure in small things. More
Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool,
But you yourself may serve to show it,
That every fool is not a poet.

The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.

Little Fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

I have changed the numbers on my watch,
And now perhaps something else will change.
Now perhaps
At precisely 2a.m.
You will not get up
And gathering your things together
Go forever.

Ok, this is what happened. I was watching tv, Indian Idol was on. Sonu Nigam, Farah Khan and Anu Malik were judging the contestants and I was generally enjoying the show. Just then Megha turned up on tv. I know she used to sing good but for Indian Idol! It had been three years since I last saw her and she hadn’t changed much. More
Indian cricket, these days, is in a bit of hole. First, there was the much awaited showdown between Jagmohan Dalmiya and Sharad Pawar, but sadly, it didn’t live upto its build up. The second spat involving the captain and the coach, though, gave enough fodder to the news-makers. Sourav Ganguly was called all the names that were there, and many more. It seemed that everyone had an opinion on the matter.

One strokes the leg of a chair
Until the chair moves
And gives him a sweet sign with its leg
Another kisses a keyhole
Kisses it O how he kisses it
Until the keyhole returns his kiss

Starve, starve, starve,
I starve for love and happiness.
I starve for love, cuz i wonder that it is not enough.
But still starving keeps the hunger, awake
I starve for happiness, cuz i feel jealous to have it more in life.
Starve starve it keeps rotating in life

I will give you a poem when you wake tomorrow.
It will be a peaceful poem.
It won’t make you sad.
It won’t make you miserable.
It will simply be a poem to give you
When you wake tomorrow.

I entered my school bus. Ohh no! The right side is all occupied. I begged everybody to lemme sit there but no one agreed. Today I won’t be able to get a glimpse of him. If only he was in my school or in my bus. My lord, why do I get to see him only on his bus stop so far from my house. It’s here, his bus stop. Oh, fuck. I rushed over to the other side to get a glimpse but slipped and down I was falling in slow motion……..
