Aniruddha Pathak Poems

A village was flooded
Leaving many dead,
A man who could not swim
Managed to climb a tree,
...

When basis there's none from a good base,
Remain when untouched targets on chase,
When growth goes only down,
Profits to red from brown,
...

One that withdraws all his senses
From the world of cravings at will,
Limbs as are drawn in by a tortoise,
Man he's of wisdom stable and still.|| 2.58 ||

There might be a day when words won't be,
Finer expressions, nor poetry,
Emojis and few else,
To me this cartoon tells,
...

As today, then too was it a curse
Ere history began
To the cave-dwelling men—
A counting device called abacus,
...

Turning rosary beads lifelong bound—
A long playing record round and round;
What if mind's stuck up found—
Way far, least worship-wound,
...

Way lost and starved, wandering crowd,
Walking long miles, on their feet proud,

Deserted, no one with them stands,
...
