Mistakes
/
Mistakes. A common thread that runs through all of us. After all, ‘to err is human’. But, are we allowed to make them? Are we considered normal if we make them? We live in a world that craves perfection. A world which celebrates you if you haven’t made any mistakes. We’ve often heard the saying…

The Night
/
For once, I wish to dwell. Dwell deeper into the darkness that the night brings and stare at the Moon. In this wide tunnel of despair and darkness, I look for the moonlight at the end of the tunnel, for it lights a hope in my heart that there is something beautiful in darkness too…

CHANGE
/
I have written about change a couple of times but on a truer note, I still don’t completely understand it. It still scares me. I still wish to avoid it. I still go numb and freeze with incoming change. The actual scariness of change is the uncertainty of things it brings along. You can never…

Sit with Yourself
/
There are a billion people in the world and quite a few in your life. However, the preeminent person in your life will always be you yourself. It is our primary responsibility to take care of ourselves first and why shouldn’t it be. This mind of ours fights numerous battles everyday for us. This body…

Liberation
/
We often do not realize how bound we are by the world until it aches to survive. We crave liberation. Liberation from everything around and very often liberation from ourselves. The moulds we are stuffed into, unable to move our arms. The rules we are put under, unable to think openly. It is often our…

The enchanting tales I hear about this allegedly coveted world called “Adulthood” makes it less and less desirable for me. The inevitable world that awaits all of us painted in colors of blue and yellow is rather a gray world waiting to engulf us in. It charms us with its mythical promises of independence, love,…

BY MYSELF
/
I’m not alone. I’m by myself.I love my own company, in fact, I prefer it over anyone else’s. I feel at ease when by myself. I know myself inside out. Deepest fears, held back tears, crazy secrets, silly regrets. Nothing has to be hidden. With people, I have one or the other role to play,…

AN END
/
All things come to an end. They’re destined to. The people you cosset today may not be there tomorrow. The things that enrapture you today may be the cause of your dolor. The places and people you run to today with hope and ardor may be the places and people you will run away from…

A GOOD CRY
/
Sometimes, a good cry is all it takes. The lip-shivering, bawling, red-eye, sulking, head burning cry is all it takes to shed it off. The weight you carry on your shoulder gets lighter, those erratically moving thoughts in your mind stay still for a while, the weight you pull in smiling goes away, and the…

IT IS JUST WHAT THE HEART WANTS.
/
Sometimes you just want to write and write. Write about what aches your heart, what makes you go silent, what puts a smile on your face, your traumas, your memories, your love, your hate. You just want to write yourself down. But the heart somehow dries up the ink and does not let you pen…
