The Orange Moon

By Ravi Naicker

Glowing in its glory Against the velvet skyline. A few brave stars dare to wink At the wicked lamp of heaven. They glittered like diamonds on the crown of heaven.

The moon was coy

As her light did the tango On the restless dance floor of waves.

It was a revelation of the Creator: Chief Artist, Master Sculptor, Paragon in painting. My Nepalese companion, Shalik Ram and I Viewed this through the window of our souls.

I felt one with the Creator, It was like being absorbed by a greater force.

My soul departing and reaching out For the hand of the Almighty. We emerge from the Creator And our journey takes us back.

I felt like a speck of dust against the humongous ocean. We ate silently at first then unwound. There were a few fishermen on the rocks, Some were after the sea muscles on the rocks.

For whatever reasons, the moon could not be ignored.

Glimpses of pristine purity, An opportunity to remain there with no regrets. Time was of no consequence. Beholding such a phenomenon is sometimes once in a lifetime.

Some day, when I am all alone, Away from the humdrum of activities of the modern world, And when I can only see the foothills of the Himalayas, The great Ganga Mata flowing without reserve, I shall remember this day with a sigh, Perhaps teardrops rushing down my cheeks, Mixed feelings – to stay or not to stay.

We come from the source and to it we shall return…

Nothing is permanent, Nature was not created for immortality. The world is full of Maya, Only budhi can lift the veil of ignorance. The power of knowledge is immeasurable.

A scene so beautiful, A scene so captivating, A scene that we happened upon. A scene with glimpses of creation basking in Her glory, A scene where Nature unwrapped her beauty And like a peacock it captured our attention.

Words unspoken, Words as silent as the stars, Save for the rise and fall of the waves.

Aniruddha

Roy Chowdhury's 2023 thriller

Lost is an Indian production in Hindi. Pankaj Kapur, Rahul Khanna, Neil Bhoopalam, Pia Bajpiee, Honeyy Jain, and Tushar Pandey also appear in supporting roles alongside Yami Gautam in the movie. 'Lost' is based on actual events and tells the tale of a young female crime reporter covering the mysterious disappearance of a young theatre activist. The complex narrative seeks to convey the concept of lost morality and integrity. Aniruddha discusses the shadow side of politics and consequently the parallel politics in his own unique style. Yami Gautham was able to give full justice to her character. Yami was able to show her anxiety, interest, and quest for the truth at the correct time without making the spectator feel overrated. The movie keeps your interest until the very last moment, and Pankaj Kapoor's character is endearing. If you enjoy thrillers, you must see this.

Farzi

Farzi is an Indian black comedy crime thriller television series in Hindi created, produced, and directed by Raj & DK about counterfeit money. It stars Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna and Bhuvan Arora in pivotal roles. The plot of FARZI is a game of cat and mouse between a con man and a good officer. In Farzi, Sunny, an artist who failed to maintain his grandfather's revolutionary printing press in operation, becomes disillusioned with Indian income inequalities. In order to create fake money, he decides to work with his best friend Firoz. They have to contend with mobster Mansoor and police officer Michael. Like many modern Indian television programs and films, Farzi deals directly with India's class system. The quality of Farzi's script is the first thing you'll notice. In order to counterbalance the sombre tone of the series, characters we have just met soon become friends through humour. The dialogue gives the program a genuine, lived-in sense.
