Left to bleed

You struggle inside to wage a war,That never was yours to fight nor was it for anybody to get sour for. You don’t learn it though, nor do you even try,For it’s not easier to unlearn the imprint on heart even after numerous tries. Tough is the day, tougher gets the night,A face you want…

Made in Heaven for the People on Earth

DISCLAIMER- No spoilers alert. If you’ve watched Gully Boy (2019 Bollywood movie), you can pretty much vouch for Zoya Akhtar’s and Reema Kagti’s writing, and Akhtar’s direction capabilities, just like I do. So, not so surprisingly, in recent times, I was eager to look at any project that had names- Zoya and Reema- associated to…

Out of thousands of days that you live, some days are special, days that are unforgettable, days that are cherished forever. When I woke up that day, I knew how different it was going to be. After all, it was our anniversary. And, like always, I and Jackson…

I need you too, Mother!

He was the little bundle of joy. With a baby-like huge tummy, and the tiny chubby hands, he made the family giggle except one of many. That one another little being looking from a corner sensed herself dissolving into the background, who, she feared, would gradually disappear. Her fear and terror and tension grew with…

The Cheesy Couple

DISCLAIMER– This is a piece of fiction; not a fragment of my real-life experiences. As Joseph and Lisa crossed the bridge, people around heaved a sigh of relief. Now, why is that? Let’s rewind a bit to this couple’s journey on that bridge. With hand-in-hand, fingers entwined, and smiles on their lips, Lisa and Joseph…

I will remember the Day.

Do you still remember the day you left me here, for a city miles away, to chase your faraway luscious dream? Of course, you do. But, think hard, do you really remember the day, the girl in a yellow dress? Who was mumbling something not audible and you failed to read those quivering lips, remember…

Lost forever to disarray

Here, Hold my hand tight, And walk by my side, Away from this world, away from its sight. Turn your ears deaf, And eyes blind, For what is to be felt Needs only a heart seeking another to bind. The redness of cheeks, And the echo of my heart’s beat, Your hands would do To…

It is not Love-PART (1/2)

It is not love. No, it is not, that I’m sure of. Now when I lie in the bed, beside my husband, I am reminded, yet again, that it is not love. I love my husband, not him. Things have always been like this; something happens urging a wave of memories to hit my shore;…

Some days

Some days love feels simple, simple as gazing at plain water, Other days there doesn’t come an emotion as intricate as love in sight. Some days love feels insignificant, a burden, Other days it seems indispensable, rather impossible, to live without. Some days love gives the feels of entanglement, Other days make that tangled feeling…
