[These recent poems are fusions of the traditions of short poetry in different languages like Japanese, Sanskrit, French, Urdu and Bengali. In essence, the poems imbibe the form of Haiku, the prosody of Sanskrit verse and the musicality of Bengali poetry.

The moonbeam gleam
of your face
spontaneously delights
like twilight.
Sniffing, sneezing through
the winter chill
hoping the bells of spring
to ring.
The marriage party has left,
all that remains
is the silence betw'n the newly-weds.
A mirror in your hand
helps you to have
a glimpse of something
which you don’t see
otherwise.
The city, the house,
the room, the bed
is the nest
where I incubate.
The canopy of darkness
engulfed the house
and the inhibitions
of its inhabitants.
Fix up a role
and play it well
in this world
of court jesters.
