Lovebug

Love does not grow on trees,
Neither does it flow in the water,
Nor does it flow in the air.
Love’s a bug.

Bites you without a notice,
Injects a sweet venom to bear.
Spreads through your veins.
Makes you blind and insane.

No shot for it, no cure.
Just euphoria,
A sickness with a sweet pain.
Sometimes with a long wait.

Once you are bit,
You are done for.
Cannot settle down,
It’s all you strive for.

Its venom is a drug,
Gets you addicted for life.
No side effects,
Unless you suffer a heart-break.

Stays in you forever,
If you behave.
Leaves you,
Only if you are brain-dead!

This is the basic plot, literally the one displayed on Netflix.  This 2018 movie has the coveted Prakash Raj and Nasser. Prakash Raj, as usual, gives a stellar performance, whereas Nasser is present on screen for barely fiv...

Colors

Some things are green Some are blue Then there are those Violet and crimson too! Colors make our lives sane Colors make thoughts rain Colors exist never in vain Whether you wear a crown or are insane Health can be pink Mind can be blue Death is purple Black protests the undesirable Gray's an emotion mighty true Gold is the heart of someone you knew White is peace. Red is love. Colors are life. Don't you think so too?
