Mulaqat

Seher ki bheed mein thoda waqt mila to aaj khud se phir mulaqat hui. Main wahi tha, Par apni durgati ke saye mein dhundla dikh raha tha. Aacha kiya jo khud ko thora waqt diya, Warna shayad khud hi dhundla pad jata. Roz ki tarha suraj utha, Par ab sayein chat rahe the. Is dauran…

Singing for my Love

Singing was a never a choice, It’s something that exists just like my breath. I have been singing since, Even I don’t remember. The only difference from than and now, It has evolved; And to an extent that every soul that listens to it, Connects. It’s all because of you, Your love. Something that unshackled…

And miles to go before I sleep

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…

Silhouette

Hey Sunshine,When I stand facing you,What follows, is a shadow. Something that mimics me,Something that mocks,Something that echoes my inner darkened blocks. A dark shadow,A dark reflection of my very own,Yet seamless,Clung to me. What it doesn’t reflect is my shattered soul,My wrecked heart,And the fractured mind. If you look carefully to realize,It’s only you…

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.

Scared

I am scared. I am scared of myself. Of my mind. Of who can see the mind I have. I am scared. I am scared. I am scared to hear. Scared to think. Scared to be. I am scared of me. I am scared. I am scared of who is in my head. I am…

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…
