Reversed

I remember my first ever street photography.
I was going to a mini fashion shoot.
I was to meet my friend around the corner.
There were children playing.
They saw me with a cam.
They gladly posed for me.
I was ecstatic to affect children in the streets that way.
I was like an instant big brother.
I was accepted.
The street embraced me.

Bed of Cards

Some are born in a bed of dough.
Some with a silver spoon in their mouth.
He was lying in a Bed of Cards.

I wanna be Rockstar

Where cool people are...
Where groupies flock...
Where you can sing all you want....
Where you can lip sync and get away with it...
Where you can wear shades anywhere, anytime...
Where you can leave everything behind for music...
Where you are wasted, or high, or both, constantly...
....NOT!

Among Crosses

Found this among crosses.
I reflected.
Do you not feel out of place sometimes?
I do.

I am not Clowning Around

I kid you not.
I am serious.

Do you remember your first day in school?

Well I don't.
But I remember the moments on the way.
Separation anxiety.
Fear of rejection.
Excited to meet new friends.
It occurred to me now, I never felt joy.

Like Father, Like Son

I am like my father.
My father like his.
And my son like me.
