The Teacher

 Among the heroes young and old,

There lies one, tales untold.

Yet, their valor surpasses

Its worth in gold.


No God, no country,

No man, nor mind

Is untouched

By this humble soul.


From words to warriors

And sums to saints;

All owe homage to

This character, quaint.


Profound depth and

Light-hearted laughter.

Lifting the veils of ignorance,

With warmth incandescence


Friend to the lonesome

Voice with a cause.

A family to one and

A guide to the lost.

"Just let me finish watching this forward", mummy groans and sighs. "My child just doesn't let go of the phone!" Cries the parent in school. Onc...

Labels scare the shit out of me. Since the time we are born we get stamped with labels. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isaiah. Higher caste, lower caste. Small town, developed city. And the newer ones that always seem to offend someone or the other. LGBTQ and a few more obscure letters. A dozen different sexualities and a hundred different orientations formed from those sexualities. Feminists, menimists (apparently "menimists" hasn't caught on with the Google dictionary... I bet that will offend someone). What the hell happened​ to just being human? Or is the "man" in human offensive to some pseudo-feminists? Ooh! Another label! We pretend to unite for a cause by causing several more partitions. And what's more? We get offended by the mere sight of the opposing party. (I bet that offends the "neutral" or diplomatic population) We refuse to see and instead relate. Relate to our memories. Relate to our assumptions. Relate to our impulses, obsessions and emoti...
