The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.– Robert Frost This year, I walked for Maya. Maya faded fast in May 2017 when he called from work and declared his decision to commit suicide. I tried my level best…

Confluence
Everything was dark around,the planks beneath and so were the feet; cold. The pound under the chest was vigorous,and the mind was dealing with its own hurricane.All he could hear was his deep exhale,a few murmurs behind those thick curtains,which seemed to increase with every subsequent breath. He tiptoed to the centreas if he was…
Homecoming
Since my existence, I have known that we celebrate Durga Puja as Maa’s homecoming. Everyone around seems excited, and the preparation starts way ahead of time. What to wear, what Pandals to hop, or where to eat are a few major topics of discussion. But in the whole affair, we forget a major essence of…
Tell me that some things last
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” – Rumi The best part about being in-love; is when you are in love & simply in love, and you are happy about it. Even if you know that the person can never be yours, or if…
Moments
On the lonely roads, I wait for you, So that no one can see us together. No questions No complaints, Just cross paths so I can see you and live that moment forever.
I can’t, and I don’t want to
It seems like yesterday, when we met on a random summer evening,The arena was full of innocent souls and was operatic,And the dark night illuminated with a glitter of your eyes.For the sake of my lustre,I don’t want to let you go, my sunshine. The place was new but the people were known,Where the song…
It was pouring today
With the sound of it,I felt like calling and telling you,Here goes another rainy day without you.Today, will you come and stand next to me and complete my monsoon?Hey, it’s pouring today. Walking on the terrace, contemplating,Didn’t know what to do.All I wanted was to hold you tight and inundate with you,Hold my hands, walk…
Marriage of Convenience and Legal Rape
“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.”― Oscar Wilde I still remember the day when I was put in front of the unknown like I was an exhibit for a show and some art appreciators had come to see me. It was the very day I was thrown into an incessant trial…
Is that love?
Love…I still wonder, what love really is?Still looking for the real meaning.True definition and feeling.Have I still felt it?Or it’s just an assumption, crafted by the greatest artists, made to be believed to be true.The touch, that melts the strongest of me, like a blanket of snow in heat.Is that love?Is love, all about sacrifice…
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…
