Priorities

We are often bound to choices and options available to us on the basis of priorities at certain points in our lives. But what if the priorities change and scales weigh down our side a few years down the line? This poem by Parminder Singh ponders and seeks an answer.

Anniversary

Knocking at the doors of mind, reminiscences tease one about the promises and dreams that couldn’t be realised. This poem by Parminder Singh talks of celebrations of mutual failures in keeping a relationship intact through moments of adversity.

The Lost Game

The process of design and institutionalization of religions mar the subtle beauty that lies within. The dawn can only partially descend upon the followers due to their inability to curb the darkness. This poem by Parminder Singh tries to track the very essence of this thought.

The Bud & the Bough

A new bud blooms on a bough. A new life comes to the world with hope. This poem by Parminder Singh contrasts the role played by ‘hope’ and ‘expectations’ as a new life enters the world.

Dinu

This poem by Parminder Singh is about how a simpleton changes into a man with urban hues, thanks to the influence of the multiplex culture.

Fifty-Five

Parminder Singh’s story tries to unveil the other side of the coin on one side of which ‘fun’ is inscribed.

A Life Fully Lived

Parminder Singh writes a story of a teacher who takes an unusual path while giving fodder of gossip over tea to many, and enlightenment to some.

Transcendence

The oriental view of India has been that of a land of mysteries and mystics. This poem by Parminder Singh takes one into the world of mysticism where the lines between the spiritual and the material vanish, giving a glimpse of the transcendental experience lived by the narrator.

Car-Free Day

Parminder’s story is a satirical take on the hullabaloo around Car-Free days in Indian cities. The events take place one morning when the protagonist chooses to give his share to this environment-friendly move; how hard can it be to go without the luxury of one’s four-wheeler beast for a single day?
