Scared

I’m scared of my own silence,of the unanswered questions that revolve around. I’m scared of unsolvable puzzles,It’s raising levels without a completion. I’m scared of my own demon,who is killing its better half every minute. I’m scared of affection,It’s pulling me down from all directions. I’m scared of darkness,As it’s trying to make me a…

For You…

​I look for you,In this dark and silent night,I look for you. You always said,close your eyes and feel me there,I’m always there, just next to you. Here, I’m cold. I’m afraid,But you are not here and,I look for you. I’m crying,because my heart is heavy,And I need you. Not to support or console me,But…

Silent Tears

​Hey, these days you have been visiting me quite often.I don’t complain, but you always leave with silence.Have you fallen in love, as you slide down my curves?Moistening my lids, blurring my vision.Leaving with weakening the beats, and with a continuous pinch.I did see and hear about you before.You love leaving behind a smeared mascara.But…

Smile

It all began with a simple smile.A smile that grabbed all the attention.A smile that made my heart beat like never before.A smile that was true.A smile that pierced through.A smile that lit up my world.A smile I promise forever to you.

Dreams

Dreams, that I’ve started stitching after meeting you.Meeting you, the most unexpected blessing of my life.Blessing, for the unsung prayers.Unsung, the belief I always had.Belief, that someone will get my broken pieces together.Together, is a state I always want to be in.State, of being together.Being together is what I always believed in.Believed, in the unsung…

All he had, was some queries

On a fatal summer night, every floor of the house, bolting them inside, was under the comfort of their ceiling fans and water coolers. Television was at its highest decibel, competing and trying to suppress the neighbour’s cacophony. Between all these, Aarav was trying to complete his homework. Playful, kind-hearted, cultured, sweet, cute, pure at…

I set you free

I set you free to be yourself.Be yourself, beyond your own expectations.Your expectations, that even you can’t get hold of.Things that you can’t get hold of, even in your dreams.Dreams, which are wild and passionate.Passion, to be yourself.To be yourself, I set you free.

Who am I?

Like others, even I was ready to be woven with the finest silk. Nurtured, cultivated, and handpicked. I waited in anticipation, imagining my colour and texture. I aspired to be the finest of all. On the loom, you charged into the yarns, So swiftly that even the weaver left unaware. Muddling the flow, resulting in…

Do not cry

Do not cry if I am not there;Because you didn’t cry with me when I cried in my cot.All I heard were the laughs, and I saw you all smiling when I lay and cried. You were there but never cried in my sorrows,You never cried with me in my pains, my anger, or my…

Twin Bugyals of Uttrakhand – Aali & Bedni Bugyal

It all started with the circulation of a message on WhatsApp, where our planner, Karun, came up with the idea of finalising the destination of Aali and Bedni Bugyal for our next trek. The unheard terrain suddenly created a buzz among all, and eventually, we had another group created to get introduced to the people…
