* “The life that has to run like a yell in between suicide and murder”
" And once you burnt my bitter soul with the scorching kisses yours
And was fascinated by the future forms of birth seen through the starry window of the eye”

Balachandran Chullikkad was pure angst!

But will not see
the world in them
in the form I had seen

But the ecstatic celebrations
they had known will not be repeated
