you find that one
wholesome home to
settle down.
The 90s Bollywood music
you listen to, and the good
old Kannada songs-
Western music happens,
and you are obsessively
into a couple of bands.
Then you hit a sweet spot.
It takes over you
like a ghost of childhood
you always romanticized.
Years pass by while it
makes a home in your head.
You relish the indie music,
you go gaga over
classical fusions for some time.
But always you come back
to this homeliness of
Rockstar-
A hall of Sadda Haq with
TV and couch.
Pirse Ud Chala kitchen
where you cook dancing.
Aur Ho is cozy washroom.
Tum Ho is bed and Tum ko
is blanket.
This homliness has always
Been a good night’s sleep,
and a Kun Faya Kun like
mornings you wake up to.
Nadaan Parindey like
Meals and Hawa hawa kind
of evenings to slip in,
Drinking-
Dichotomy of fame kinda
of tea.
Ohh life has been tasty.
