Scattered Thoughts

Strophe 1 I am dying Drowning in emotions Thoughts tied my legs Pulling me to sea feet I am dying In the hopelessness Bubbles of air Not reaching the apparent I am dying Letting my hands spread out With no thought Accepting the spot I am dying Letting rope tighten Stopping my breathe Sea bequeath...

Hi Yaar

Hi Yaar, Our friendship survived the test of time, but still face judgmental looks of people while walking on the road. The one who could never find a best friend in opposite gender created non-sensible saying, 'Boy and girl can never be friends' - but the best part is we never cared and it never...

Last Monologue

On the night of Cimmerian shades Ode of hope fades I heard a sharp thunder Sky burst asunder Every humor sounded slander Dangling in the storm dander Roaring winds bane ear Words of love stooped to whisper I was drowning Sailing boat of insecurities In the ocean of fear Rowing alone with no hand of...

Rendezvous.

Technology is the name of advancement where human relations are balanced on phones and laptops.

Hi Mom

She stared at ticking watch belted to her wrist for a moment which pointed long hand at six and short at eleven, before returning to...

Doodle Dairies

My cousins - boy aging two(2) years and girl six(6) months younger to him picked up crayons near them and started scribbling on walls, floor and even on papers near them. This cute disaster made us smile - kids possess great quality of converting annoyance to laugh. Keeping aside work they left to catch up...

Fly to heal your broken wings..

One harsh push from him landed her on knees. She sobbed, blood oozing from one corner of lip and tears from eyes. Warm tears burned her swollen cheek. She sobbed between four walls which are used to her screams. Window grills failed to bend loose for escape - she never tried to escape or fight....

Ila

Close to the city of Paithan, in a small village called Sauviragram, which lay along the banks of the great river Godavari, lived a woman named Ila. Being cotton farmers, her family was well to do, but not among the richest in their area. It was the harvest season, and cotton had to be picked...
