Story
Beneath the vast azure, we the children of one Supreme live,constantly in conflict with one another, continously in an urge to pull down others and be hypocritic. Discrimination too is the biggest wall which separates people from each other,whether it is of gender,caste or skin.
When people who have minimal resources succumb to these pressures of discrimiation, violence and separatism, a small device or a powered gadget can change their life for ever. It might be just another gadget for us to surf the world through our fingers ,but for them it can be the most powerful weapon of protection ,an alarm in their palm which can raise an alarm ,whenevr they feel they are in danger.
BLUE speaks thus
numerous shades of blue I hath seen
the sumptuous ones that galore in sky
flowers of morning glory blossoming in blue
the blue I loved more of ocean deep,
ecstatic me and my being
Blue hath been the sapphire of a ring
in every attire I marked its splendor
until
that night I slipped
and saw her sitting on the pavement
I feared the blue every night since then,
the bruises on her skin and cuts on her cheeks
badly beaten blue yet silent
I witnessed the emptiness in her blue iris
on the same path we both were
I was dressed in blue
she decked with blows of blue
another instant I could feel her breath
she lend her hand to help me out
Her strength reassured
she wasn’t ready to bog down…
I left my mobile with her that night
she smiled as her palm touched the empowering device
Now we meet on crossroads
contended .
