Haan, main koi aur hoon. Jaanta hoon main, Aur jaante the tum bhi. Par jo naqaab tumne pehen rakha tha is jahan ke saamne, tumne use hi such maan liya. Haan, main koi aur hoon. Duniya ka dar bhool kar, Utara tha maine apna woh naqaab tumhare saamne; Taaki dekh sako tum mujhe, main bankar….

“My purpose is to express my soul through art, music, and words—to create beauty that heals and inspires. I exist to be a mirror and a sanctuary for those who feel unseen, unheard, or unloved—especially within the queer community and those who’ve shaped my journey. Through my presence, I offer people the freedom to be fully themselves, the courage to heal, and the dignity of being truly respected. My life is a gentle rebellion against indifference—a living example of what it means to honor humanity, one heart at a time.”
Empty Spaces
The heart and mind is empty,As empty as this space.Just like a designer,Even I reconstruct my memories.Like three years ago, the very same day,We raised a toast, for the very first time,With the crystals filled with Jim beam.The ambience smelled Italian,And we were served vegetarian.The music was classic that got the conversation to flow,And I…
Three Summers
On a briskly breezy evening;I met you the very same day,Three summers back.You are, my frightening nightmare.You still is, my most comforting dream.
Dwindling
When I looked through the window, I saw you. I saw you, wrecked. I gazed through your cracks. I saw you, damaged. The sublime rays falling on your body, made your dwindling evident. And then in retrospect, I saw myself. Yes, you reflected me; my soul. Yet, we both; Here, standing tall; Sturdy. The melancholy…
One Summer Noon
On a hot summer afternoon,on a secluded road;I stopped him for a ride.Like anyone else,Even his demand was obnoxious. But today, looking at him,I couldn’t bargain much.As if I really wanted to take that ride,not because of the weather;but maybe not to lose sight of him,even if it was for that span. I sat right…
The Life Guard
Meet “Mr. Jogendra Behra”, yes that’s how he says his name when asked. He is the life guard of the private beach for the resort I stayed on my recent vacation. He is merely 20 years old and working to support his family. His father is a farmer and doesn’t earn much to run the…
The Sun Temple Guide
Well, this was the first ever hired guide in my life. I refrain from talking a guide and prefer reading the boards instead. However, that morning, he walked right in front of my face and even I managed to crack a good deal with him. So, there was my guide “Mr. Bideshi Swain”. Well, I…
Where will I meet you?
There is a voice,Constant in my mind;And it’s the same question that it unwinds.Where will I meet you?Where will we be?Do you still, have that love for me? I go places,I see the humanity;But my heart revolves,Around a single identity. There may be no tomorrow,There may be no us;There may be no loving heart,To create…
Mera Sapna
Woh mulakat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Us shaam woh dabe paon, Chupke se mere kinare aake baitha. Uski muskurahat ne mere sapne ko hakikat ka jama pehna diya tha, Ek untarashe chehre ko tarashke meri aankhon ke samne bitha diya. Woh mulaqat aaj bhi ek sapne jaisa lagta hain. Meri aakhe ek…
