No one may have known of the times you’ve stared at yourself in the mirror, Wondering where you went wrong, Or of the sleepless nights, You spent doubting your worth, Of the times you sat alone in the rocker, With your mug of stale coffee, Wondering where it all started going downhill, Or those timesContinue reading “You’re not alone”

Life is bittersweet
After passing my boards, When I joined college, I was sceptical, as in I didn’t know if I would be able to make too many good friends. You see I was never the friendly kind. Didn’t really have too many friends in school. So at first I was a little wary. I only spoke toContinue reading “Life is bittersweet”
Picture of you
Can I take a picture of you? An undisguised, unfiltered you, Candid and ruthlessly raw, Giggling childishly without a care in the world. Let me take this picture of you, Preserving your happy, undaunting spirit, For lest I ever see you disheartened, I’d present it to you. Let me picture you in the sun, BaskingContinue reading “Picture of you”
4 Haikus and a Fib
#Haiku 1. She let go Of the suffering and then let karma Take her place. #Haiku 2. A second chance More a matter of universal deservance But seldom given. #Haiku 3. Bright as Sun She shone and lit up his universe He was Icarus. #Haiku 4. Her left hand, Although non-dominant, still it held theContinue reading “4 Haikus and a Fib”
Saving grace!
And she, lost in her tremulous monotony, Walking across the crowded street, Taking one calculated step after another, Heard a hearty chuckle from a bench, fixed under an old oak tree. She stopped in her tracks and turned around, To see where it had come from, Bothered not because it was too loud, But moreContinue reading “Saving grace!”
Home
A home, Long lost, far fetched, Nostalgia sets in, an intangible homesickness, A place faraway, yet close to the heart, An ineffable feeling of losing something that I never had, A place I’ve always wanted to return to, A place aching with hoarded memories, Hiraeth in my bones, A home!!
Adventure of an ecstatic heart!
You’re like the essay that slowly transitions into poetry, The words spilling like grains of sand from my hand, They scatter across, the more I try to pull them together, Slowly weaving themselves into a fairy tale story!! You’re like the moonlight that’s still there on a new moon day, Like the silent whispers ofContinue reading “Adventure of an ecstatic heart!”
Mind talks!!
Usually I’m a very talkative person, bantering and chattering my way through the day. Not one ounce of boredom though, mind you!! I read.. and that’s why I can talk about anything from movies to literature and from science to poetry. Indulge me, you’d be surprised!! So when I started talking to you, I gotContinue reading “Mind talks!!”
Binge watching from a distance!
Me and my bestie have this funny habit of binge watching entire series of movies or daily soaps once we put our minds to it. Though we are far from each other, there are so many stories we’ve shared and lived together. I wanted to write about three of those stories and the gist IContinue reading “Binge watching from a distance!”
As a Daughter..
When they say you don’t know what you have until you’ve lost it, they haven’t come across people who constantly live with the fear of losing a loved one. What it is to be fearful of an impending inevitable is an inexplicable dread we’ve all faced at some point in life. Losing my dad hadContinue reading “As a Daughter..”
