Find a Dream

How do I explain what it means to be alone to my sons they don't know that I need a life too "find a dream" they say, as if reading out loud from a book How do you find a dream when all of yours have been broken And she smiles and then asks me whether I am a friend How can I be a friend when all she has done is tried to take all of my dreams away It cannot happen because they are my dreams and I will live with them till the end of time It does not happen coz God is on my side. In this country they ask, Which God,  God is one we all learnt that when we were in school Maybe they will recognise that here too one day. It will really help as there are people here from all cultures and  backgrounds and different religions. A secular Republic will be nice to have One in which dreams can be formed and made and turned into something real Where I will know that it is fine to dream and to not live with broken dreams that get turned to nought one day Where my sons will not have to sa...

Who am I

I used to be a social researcher as well as a philanthropist who has been turned into a refugee of sorts by some business men and their partners who have forced me to become a dependent of the State.   They have taken my identity away from me by taking my art practice away from me, which is about the links between Mental Illness and Domestic Violence. In 2019, I approached the Vice Chancellor of the ANU, who used to be a Physicist, with my project. However, instead of the yes that I was hoping for, I received a letter in my inbox from the legal department of the ANU saying that were I to contact anyone about my project they would start a legal case against me. I got scared and went silent. I wish instead that I had been braver and told others about my project but COVID also struck after a while and I got busy with my children who had also been taken away from me by my ex-husband and his family, something that they can't do in India anymore but they did use their contacts here to ma...

What to write

What to write  a common refrain what to say know not but it says something something that I must know you by something that one knows but knows not that one can know and say no to the rest of the world. say yes or no, but that would be cruel now how to say yes though when the nays have been stronger for ages now it ends at a note that is sad but it could not also end and that will be nice, nicer than the thought that says that it is wrong to know not but know not why it is wrong to know when it is wrong to know not.
