The Wait
Wanting to turn the cold winds into shower, she waited for the storm. That storm, she believed would take her through a secretive egress that’d clear all clouds. The rythm in her chest paced up signifying some complicated happiness.
If someone discovers you while yearning to be discovered, the feeling remains etched. Then, waiting wouldn’t be exhausting; it also won’t any longer be only the…

Change is the only constant in life
Change is the only constant in life
If someone told me a couple of years ago that there would be a global pandemic that turns our world upside down, I would have told them that this is not a dystopian novel. Now, I am not so sure. We consume information about more and more violence every day, women are denied their bodily autonomy and wars can be waged without reason. I remember writing in my slam book in college that I would be…

Anxiously, Yours!
The offering of lifeisn’t the one that’s dreamt.
It could’ve been anythingbut it just wasn’t wanted.
Yet, a wish is madeshaping flexibly to expectations.
Why do we make a wishonly over a falling star?
Is it not vacating todayand burdening tomorrow?
An extra-ordinarywarrior, they call.
An extra of ordinaryworry-er, it seems.
When everyone is out of mind,who cares what’s inside one’s…

No Heartbreaks?!
I have been of a belief earlier that when we overload ourselves, often over an emotional outburst like regrets specifically, we break our hearts. Even highly ductile and malleable metals have a breaking point, right? Likewise, I thought it’s okay to take rest and restore whenever there’s an emotional shutdown. At least, that’s how I was.
I sooner or later also realized that regrets keep chasing…

I'm Committed!
I’m Committed!
When people enquire about busyness and the response comes out to be ‘I’m engaged or committed with something or somebody’, why can’t they just let it be? In awe, the follow-up is usually, ‘Why haven’t you told me yet?’. I mean, why should we announce if it’s just another part of our normal lives? Won’t you get to know if you’re meant to know?
How come the words ‘committed’ or ‘engaged’, in a…

Support Stake
Can’t claim to know those eyesbut I feel, their warm glimpse.Can’t imagine the unseen facebut with it, I share a smile.In this fleeting worldI struggle, to balance the float.With a kind radiancesomeone presents, a string of support. They say some are for youwhile some are not.If a supportive group is familycan strangers be family too?
Have your dreams ever been supported by a person you’ve…

In search of my roots
In search of my roots
Just around the bend listening to none I traverse those depths
Mystic maiden wears a milky gown of winter frost
dubious saunter in deceiving silence sendsdelicate shivers
walking barefoot I deduce a connection with my unseen roots

Claustrophobic
The head, getting full, ached as it compromised the vacancy in the heart bearing the latter’s burden in spite of constantly fearing if it was developing claustrophobia within, as the doors of escape from agitated thoughts were always locked.
