Mr. I know it all
You choose to be selfish you see. You govern us every time but you never get satisfied with it. You care about your own damn life for you never considered us a family. “We have always been a headache of yours” this is what you like to put everytime when you say you care about…
Insecurities
I am on the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I’ve always been. I find myself repeating this phrase time and again Because I don’t have faith in me to let go of few old things that are dread. I keep on pondering whether the worldly pleasures are even meant to…
A letter to the moon
I gaze at you in amazement when you are surrounded by shiny stars at night and wonder if you look at me with the same glitter in your eyes in midst of all the city lights. Do the old towns sparkle with enough intensity to make you smile and hope about beautiful beginnings like I…
Woman or no-one
I am on the outside always looking in. Will I ever be more than I’ve always been? Will I ever fly in the sky where I had always dreamed to go or will I always have my feet tied to stone? Will I be able to go back to where it all started and mend that piece of my life which was broken or Will I have to compromise in every step of my life just because I am a woman? It has not…
Flawed Epiphany

You and I
Your eyes carry the depth of an ocean, I can’t stop looking at time and again. But for me, the time encounters a comma and lets me turn back the pages of our chapter. I can’t express the intersection of my tranquillity and anxiety at that moment. For it lets me imagine your hands intertwined…
Letters from Normal People
Humans are wealthy to feel millions of emotions every day. Humans face a lot of things in their lives. Life can be as easy as breathing for some people while it can be as ocean tides for some with their highs and lows. The tides never rest and never flow in the same wave. Sometimes…
Letters from Revolutionary Road
Dear April, We can never imagine the amount of grief you had to bear. Especially as a housewife, the stipulation to live life in mediocrity and never get to become anything more. Not getting to do what you want; unable to grab the freedom to choose the things you love. Dear Frank, Could you not…
Realisation of midnight
I got too engulfed in my world that I forgot what is out there. I set my boundaries and limited myself to socialise with people. Maybe just because I didn’t want people to bother with my problems. But I have drifted apart from everything I can think of. Evergreen was my life and I can’t…
