Gauri Dixit

Nothing random about randomness

I write three lines. “Totally disconnected,” they say. “This is not how one writes a haiku.”

How do I connect the lines when nothing else in life is connected? Living in random cities, going to different schools, playing with different friends! Where do I find a connection?

Pensive, I rock my chair to the voice of Jagjit Singh and through the open window the familiar fragrance of night jasmine wafts in. 

a new author
every holiday -
the thickest book
becomes my pillow
for that afternoon
