Collection of poems and videos. Sunday 29 June 2008. We may be stopped in our tracks by a maniacal mob…. 8230; and be confronted with the Questions…. 8220;what’s your religion? Or different like theirs? And our lives will depend. 8230; on our answers. 8230; and their religion! We must ask ourselves whether we have learnt any lessons from the numerous killings, brutal attacks and rapist rioting, born of divisive religious fanaticism…. Saturday 21 June 2008. Thoughts of Mining Terrorists. They are dangerou...

pravin k sabnis: My Right to Hate
http://poems-pravinsabnis.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-right-to-hate.html
Collection of poems and videos. Wednesday 27 June 2012. My Right to Hate. If they can have their rogues, why can't I have my thugs too? If they can nurture hate, why censure me when the same I do? It is my right to hate and fear. all those who are not like me. And to repress and suppress all those who presume to be free! If they can fetter their women and treat them as lesser beings. Why the shock and the mock when I treat mine as personal things? The reasoning of humanism can never deter my tribe or me.

pravin k sabnis: Silence! The Court is in Session!
http://poems-pravinsabnis.blogspot.com/2015/07/silence-court-is-in-session.html
Collection of poems and videos. Tuesday 21 July 2015. The Court is in Session! Wear the robes of a sage. Bring in the witness-cage. Start the drama of indignation. The Court is in Session! The accused is yet unknown. But their team appears grown. My message hates interruption. The Court is in Session! Lay down the rules and how. Raise up the morality brow. Don’t insist on free expression. The Court is in Session! It is a fight for power and authority. Convert everyone into a liability. Lharam - the waves.

pravin k sabnis: April 2008
http://poems-pravinsabnis.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Collection of poems and videos. Saturday 5 April 2008. I woke up in a different age. I woke up in shock and rage. Ten years further to today. My village had gone astray. It was like a fairy tale all gone wrong. Where cacophony posed as a song. Gone were the fields that were mine. My land, my village was just a MINE! I went to the authorities to complain. Hoping for justice to relieve my pain. They asked me to prove my citizenship. Without my village, how could I exist? My land I had never put up for sale.

pravin k sabnis: God of clay!
http://poems-pravinsabnis.blogspot.com/2015/06/god-of-clay.html
Collection of poems and videos. Sunday 7 June 2015. First they deified me. Then began the worship. Now when cast in divinity. Arises the dreaded wish. The dreaded wish of magic. To script for them a new destiny. Why didn't I stop them. From taking away my humanity? Now they cheer my powers. Powers they saw they say. Then they will jeer my inability. And call me God of clay!

After high school, Laxman applied to the JJ School of Art, Mumbai hoping to concentrate on his lifelong interests of drawing and painting, but the dean of the school wrote to him that his drawings lacked, ‘the kind of talent to qualify for enrollment in our institution as a student’, and refused admission. R K Laxman never minced words, yet he was prudent in his choice of expression. His ‘common man’ said such ...In Aesop's fa...

monday muse: Unpacked Gift
http://monday-muse.blogspot.com/2015/07/unpacked-gift.html
Written by Pravin Sabnis since first Monday of 2004. Monday, July 6, 2015. There was an exceptionally talented jazz pianist who played in a bar. People came out just to hear him play. But one night, a client told him to sing a song. The man said, ‘I don't sing.’ But the customer was persistent. Nat King Cole had talent that he was sitting on! We have to get off the comfort seat and discover new unpacked gifts that need to be opened. Get off the comfort seat. Open the unpacked gift! Pravin K. Sabnis.

Written by Pravin Sabnis since first Monday of 2004. Monday, June 29, 2015. An old joke tells about a farmer’s dog that used to wait for vehicles to come around. As soon as one appeared he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it. One day a neighbour asked the farmer ‘Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car? 8217; The farmer replied, ‘That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one.’. For instance, we might believe that a new car will ma...

Written by Pravin Sabnis since first Monday of 2004. Monday, August 31, 2015. A year has passed since the murder of social reformer, Dr Dabholkar but his killers remain at large. In February, social activist, Pansare’s killing went unchallenged by the authorities. Yesterday, renowned Kannada writer and research scholar, Kalburgi was killed in cold blood. All of them were senior citizens who refused to play silent to the cacophony of anti-social actions. In personal or public life, when we demand such sil...
