An outburst

The village side takes my heart to 
Her soft, thin cotton sarees
Her smiling face, exposing her almost toothless mouth 
Her twinkling eyes looking through my mind 

Not to forget her flaring nostrils when I fail to greet the guests 
I distinctly remember the thin gold bangles dangling on her frail wrinkled hands
Her swollen feet a result of the years invested in the Nobel profession 
Whenever I bend down to get her blessings i realise the work that has gone into bringing me to these standards. 

Blessed are those who get to talk to their grandmother!!

it's really happening

But if we start accepting vague reproductions of a lifetime’s work, it raises serious concerns about how we express perspectives. The key difference between human-made and AI-generated art lies in emotion . Every word, brushstroke, and musical note carries the weight of personal experience, cultural shifts, and societal narratives. Art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, struggle, and human connection. AI can be a useful tool, but it shouldn’t replace human artistry. It lacks the ability to feel, dream, or rebel —qualities that define great art. Instead of letting AI...

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar
