DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP


It was on the month of August
Way back in 1998
A few teenagers
Met at a class room
Named PDC 2 A
Within months they became
Good friends.
The campus life 
Had all the ingredients
Politics, romance
Comedy and tragedy.
After two years 
They said goodbye
To each other 
And to the cypress trees
In the absence of 
SMS and e-mail
Letters and greeting cards
Bridged the gap
Their friendship remained the same.
Now they are in their 30's
Married and lives in different cities
Chicago, Dubai, New Delhi, Hyderabad
And Kollam 
The magical friendship 
Still stands tall
Fifteen years and counting.....

ISHRAT=TERRORIST?


Her name is Ishrat
Died in an incident
She never heard before
"Fake Encounter".
Api- fondly called by her siblings
Had lot of dreams
None of those dreams blossomed
But were pierced by bullets
Although her death raised
Many questions
She was declared
"A Terrorist"
Even her soul may have shocked
It came out from the graveyard
In pursuit of truth
It took nine years
To prove her innocence
And to prove
What Fake Encounter is.
