Gamut of Colours

Leaf through and what do I see
Colours, each giving a different outlook
A new meaning, hope and so many moods
A new acuity to link to

Red, Yellow and Orange- colours of burning fire
Takes me to passion, Umph & Oomph
Blue, the colour of sea and sky
Is a tale of serenity and supremacy

Green -the colour of hope
Represents Fertility, life and renewal
Brown- the colour of Earth and wood
Is allied with season of fall and winter

Grey carries conservativeness
White reflects purity and innocence
Black, the deepest struggles between
Day & Night, Good & Evil, Right & Wrong

So many ideas, bits & emotions
Each colour speaks plentiful
Not in words but in impression
Mirrors my soul & heart

Nature speaks through the colours
Speechless but speaks bounteous
Colours of the nature in plenteous                                    
Colours of life and dead

Spectrum of the colours
Is free from prejudice
Of class, caste, race or gender
Pleasures all alike

The Bus Ride

​ Sometimes the smallest encounters leave an imprint that stays for longer than you would expect. A moment becomes a memory, amalgamated from both sweet and bitter experiences. I love the prairie summers, and getting home on the bus is my favorite part of the day. Sometime in July, 2024, I was all set to enjoy my bus ride. As usual, I preferred taking the seat close to the exit door. Holding my phone in my hand, I became engrossed in scrolling and was so lost in it that I didn’t realise what was going on around me. In the blink of an eye, I felt someone had pulled mobile phone from my hand. My instinctive reaction was the same as it had been when I was a child. Like a five-year-old, I cried out, “Mummy, mummy, please help me!” Interestingly, none of the passengers reacted. That left me with many questions, as well as regrets about how absorbed I had been in my mobile phone. I believed that my phone contacts, pictures, wallet, messages, notes and much more were gone, forever. My body wa...

Like a song that lingers in the mind

​ Like a song that lingers in the mind, And we sing unaware of why we sing. Somedays people, other days events, Repeat in my mind. Today, I was under the spell of the word, nitpicking- not that I was enriching my vocabulary, But thinking of what memories it brought, Bittersweet or sweeter bitter. And I close the day telling myself, Whatever! I don’t care more.         Shehnaz Gujral         February 24,2026
