Chai and Biscuits with 1001 Haikus

Usha MeenakshiWords are but the voice

Of the soul; sap that reveals

Self in the flower!

From the realm of nature to that of inner self; from the dark recesses of mind to the straining, exploding emotions; from the simplicity of children to the complexity of the technology, these modern Haikus touch and savor them all.

If you are looking for the ephemeral beauty of youth and the empyreal charm of the landscape, then you see it here. If it is the crazy expression of mankind-the proof of his ingenuity, then you find it here. If it is the smile that curves your lips and the warmth of love that touches your heart or the pain that you feel wrenching in your soul, then you find that too reflected here.

Clichéd ideas have a beauty in that they connect with every thinking soul. Words inside may be of the writer's but then they are universal in theme as man has been the same since stone age.

Take each one at your pace. Start from anyplace and finish somewhere and pick up from wherever, you will find them touching a special chord of your heart and mind every time.
