Three years, as time flew by; a lot reminded stagnant,The grief persist and so did the memories. As I climbed those stairs, years after we bid goodbye,Each step recalled a moment and so did the feet became, heavy. As I rang the bell, I wish it was you;Then was greeted with the same warmth as…

2021: The Year it was
Here I am, relishing the last trip of the year with my man and a friend who is really close to my heart. There are a few unknown people who may become friends tomorrow. My heart goes out to all who are missing here. Sipping onto a hot Ginger Lemon Honey, with the chill running…
The lady at the shack
Well, I’m bad at remembering names, so I will simply call her Auntie. On my recent trip to Goa, she was working at Johnny’s Sand Dunes Shack right outside Hotel Goan Heritage on Calangute Beach. The very first morning when we went out for a walk, she greeted us with a big smile: “Aao sir,…
Bas ek din aur
Dil kehta hain is raat ki subha hi na ho,Kal is shareen mein rooh hi na ho.Mere liye kisi ki aankh mein aasu bhi na ho,Aur bicharne ke tarap ka ehsaas hi bhi na ho. Par dimag ki kashmakash hain kuch aur,kehta hain jee le,bas ek din aur. Kal shayad woh din tera ho,Shayad ho…
The Moments of Tranquillity
The constant pressure of work can certainly become overwhelming at times. To escape from this, we tend to run away.

Coffee aur Chai
Ek karnama aisa ho gaya,Coffee lover ko chai lover se pyaar ho gaya. Jisko bhati thi roasted beans ki khusbu,Aaj lete hain chai ki chuski ka swaad.

देश की मौत
मर चुका है,हर आदमी अंदर से मर चुका हैं।किसीकी मां, किसीका बाप,किसका भाई मर चुका हैं।सांसद में टेबल पीटते दलालों का,जमीर मर चुका हैं।अपने जमीन का हक मांगता,वो किसान मर चुका हैं।ऑक्सीजन के इंतजार में वो मरीज,सड़क पे मर चुका हैं।गोलियां चलाने वालो को सत्ता दी है,देखो यह देश ही मर चुका हैं।
A good-for-nothing average guy
It’s the pandemic of over communication that has led to an absence of self-belief. I still remember the last few weeks of my graduating year. I was called upon the stage and was awarded the “Best All-Rounder (Cultural)” award. It made it more special it was conveyed to me by one of my professors that…
Life in a 10×10
Well, I will be honest; the very first day I turned on the shower, I cried under it. You never have a say in your birth. That certainly is your parents’ decision. So is your school, your initial hobby classes, and the room you get to live into. Growing up in a working-class family, the…
