Some poetry on Mumbai- an excerpt from River’s A Ghazal:
Listen, let’s scratch images in the base dust.
Words will grow weapons in the plays on Mumbai.A last message screams–hidng undr d bed.
What about my home in this craze for Mumbai?Slayers saunter in black Versace t-shirts.
It seems like they have learnt the ways of Mumbai!
Rana Bose speaks of Mumbai Blood:
Mumbai bloody Mumbai
Where Jews, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians
Have lived together with Hindus,
Rich, poor, builder, shopper, sailor and tradesman
Before the children of midnight were born
In 1947 dawn!
And The Rest of Me’s Newsofterror:
Thank God, that
the Newsofterror is written in prose,
And I’m spared.But, of the effect of it
that gradually seeps into me
I’m scared.
