autumn and me but…
For a lone and heartlessly cold night
i threw away
a midnight dream
in a midnight dream…
Winter walking in Pune
falling on the ground
settles in autumn dust
a dry [...]

Swine flue in Pune, India, some reasons and questions
Posted by: Harshad Joshi on: August 12, 2009
Everything is justified.
However, India is more prone to any kind of epidemics because of the inherent unclean habits the common people have.
Add to it the careless attitude of people who actually are supposed to work on complex issues. The recent epidemic wouldent have had been so grave if the airport authorities would have done a [...]

Posted by: Harshad Joshi on: December 29, 2008
The end was actually hiding a new beginning in its sphere;

मी आसाच आहे……
धर्मासाठी झुंजावे…
झुंजोनी अवाघ्यांसी मारावे…
मारिता मारिता घ्यावे राज्य आपुले…
देव मस्तकी धरावा,

Tintern Abbey by William Wordsworth
Posted by: Harshad Joshi on: May 6, 2008
Five years have passed; five summers, with the length
Of five long winters! and again I hear
These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs

That on a wild secluded scene impress
Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect
The landscape with the quiet of the sky.
The day is come [...]

How do we rise above racism towards respect and tolerance in society?
Posted by: Harshad Joshi on: January 24, 2007
Political movements in certain parts of the world openly expound racist ideas. The dissemination of racist ideas is tolerated in the name of freedom of expression.
