Living India

Living India comes from a 24/7 experience of being pickled in the Indian culture, in the context of Auroville – the City of Dawn aspiring to live an actual human unity in diversity.

Living India, loving India – the essence of it and its countless eyes, names, faces, facets and flavours. Living it. Carrying it. Always.

A glimpse of some poems: 

-1 
You looked into my eyes
I into yours
Not a word was spoken
Not a word was needed

A look
A smile
An invitation
Into each other’s world

-2
Eyelids part
Only to meet again.

For the eyes that see
We are never apart.

-3
Saree

Covers up
To reveal

-4
i build obstacles
And pray to Ganesha
To remove them.

I build bridges
From stumbling blocks
And enshrine Ganesha within.

-5
Churning
Brings out
Deepest yearning.
