For They Are Not Dead

Yes, the breath of life has left them. They are no longer alive like us. But they continue to encourage us to really live. For they are not dead, Till we let them be. Yes, their bodies have decayed. They can no longer touch us. But they continue to touch our lives. For they are [...]

Wish I Knew

I wish I knew How to be be smart. How to gauge people From inside out, Rather than outside in. I wish I knew Not to waste a moment Whenever it came by With someone, Than hoping it was someone else. I wish I knew When to say things That I so badly wanted to, [...]

Where’s Your Sparkle?

Beautiful diamonds we all are, Having the power To amaze and cheer. But wait! How to do it with a sad face? So tell me, where's your sparkle? Strong diamonds we all are, Unbreakable under pressure, Inspiring with our struggle. But wait! How to do it with a tear? So tell me, where's your sparkle? [...]

Wet Soil’s Smell

The rain drops fall Slowly at first, As if afraid to touch the earth, As if scared of its response. One by one, They gauge its warmth, As if to know if it is ready, As if to know how hard to fall. The rain picks up speed, More confident with every new moment, As [...]

Strong Tears

Tears they are. Yet weak is not who we are. Fall they do. Yet fully fail is not what we do. For these are strong tears. Watery they are. Yet more than water we are. Slippery they are. Yet quite firm we are. For these are strong tears. Rush they do. Yet skipping stuff is [...]

As You Do, Dad

No one, I repeat, no one Can get on my nerves, As you do, Dad. No one can say, "No," Right to my face, As you do, Dad. No one can make me cry By being brutally honest, As you do, Dad. But no one can do Some other sweet things too, As you do, [...]

To All the Single Ladies

I know exactly how you feel because I am single too. If anything, this is a heart to heart, to let you know that you are not the only one feeling the way you do. There's someone else too. In fact, many. Let's start from the beginning. There's a reason I refrained from calling you [...]

Grey

Neither black nor white, But grey. That is the colour I am. That is the colour we all are. Intentions not evil or saintly, But grey. That is how I roll. That is how we all play. To put me in a box Would be a mistake. To categorise everyone and everything Is the fault [...]

Choose Love

"How would I know what is right or what is wrong? How would I know what to choose? Whom to choose?" I asked. "It's simple, my dear. What is right today might be wrong tomorrow. What is wrong today might be right later. They change as frequently as the wind," He replied. "Then what? Or [...]
