A LIFE (A Poem)
A LIFE (A Poem) by Aman Mittal Touch it, it won’t shrink As an eyeball does Feel it, you can only feel The feelings inside you, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Sometime it’s a landscape view Blue stream of water In between the hills Day in, Day out Followed by a bright sun, Sometime it’s a portrait Hanging on a wall No movement and very still A beautiful face Wearing a set of pearls, Else, you cannot drag it Nor can you draw it On a sheet of paper, It has no shadow of it’s own But reckons the one you have Nor it can breathe But breathe with your lungs Nor it can see But see through your eyes Nor it can […]
NOWHERE TO GO (A Poem)
NOWHERE TO GO (a poem) By AMAN MITTAL Abandoned the house I use to live As loved ones are gone A long time before, Abandoned the road I use to walk Took me to places I could never thought, Abandoned the body I use to dwell For the face became unknown And the body rotted, Still I wonder Deeply concerned Where will I go now?

DARK HOUSE (A Poem)
Dark House a poem by Aman Mittal A big dark house I made it myself Brick by brick From a corner to top Hollow from inside Narrow by side Without an attic Roof is flat But a big cellar At the bottom Locked and shut Connected with tunnels Marrow and shallow Left incomplete To banish the escape Not a soul to dwell But to consist Only my dead thoughts.
THE HANGMAN (A poem)
The Hangman a poem by Aman Mittal By the roots of his hair Some God got hold of him Abducted by His Strength Felt like a prophet of a desert. Nights are like snapshots Out of sight Like a lizard’s eyelid. And the bald white days Shade away Behind the oaks. While being pinned on a tree The man ask god If you were me, What would you do? The god replies If I were you, I would do what you did.
THE DEVIL’S DISCIPLE: A REVIEW
The Devil’s Disciple was written in 1896-97 by G. Bernard Shaw. The play occurs in the town of Websterbridge, New Hampshire, in 1777 during the American Revolution. The play is written in a way in which each act ends in a cliff-hanging affair. The hero acts out of unselfish idealism. Otherwise all other characters are significant and make the play a melodrama with a difference. The court-martial scene is one of the funniest scene of its kind in dramatic literature. It revolves around a General whose witty sarcasm is classy and sophisticatedly pleasing. Shaw never losses an opportunity to attack the needless destruction of war and to make of military pomp and circumstance. As I said earlier, it is a […]

BOOK REVIEW: SEEN READING
Seen Reading by Julie Wilson Why I read this book? I like the idea it expresses, a bit, but I liked the cover most. It is an exceptional work, exceptional and a great concept. The concept of sightseeing of readers might be creepy to some, but it’s an idea and curiosity of the author to look around and see what others are reading. Imagine yourself, and tell me you would like to do that too. The book is a collection micro-fictions and brief descriptions of people the author has glanced reading in public. Each story in its brevity is able to capture a scene, a character, and her feelings in a remarkably short space. You might be disappointed as it goes […]
