It was a one time deal, Thousands of people stopping by him, Narrating all their fears to him, He could see everyone's face go pale as he dived with them from 16,000 feet, Everyone had a confession before jumping off the plane, Everyone had a ritual to perform, For a few, it was a way...

As she gulped down the last drop of syrup from the bottle, Acting as she loved it, It had now become a thing in her hourly schedule, She couldn't unsee it, The void that was left for her, An Eerie silence that demanded her patience, Time does heal the scar, but for her, it was... Continue Reading →
They were barely able to see any sun, Trapped in a tiny room with 6 others, Sharing everything between them and taking turns to peek from that small whole, They would look outside, They would look at a new world every time they took a peek, Sometimes it was the Grape-Seller, Sometimes it would be...

Dreams, The perfect ones get executed in a flawless manner, The worst ones make it to the Hall of Shame, Forever thought of, Never forgotten, Things that did matter the most, Now stay in my closet, finding their place behind the old dusty jacket, They have forgotten their existence altogether, While learning about each other,...

I'm sorry for the time you had to binge-watch all the series alone, When you had to finish all the ice-cream alone without fighting Me, When you didn't have to fight for the Remote, When you no longer had to fight for the right side of the bed, When the time was elapsing at a... Continue Reading →
Just like a full moon day, Her face lit up, I’ve been chasing the sun for quite a long time now, I’m exhausted and tired, Maybe I should have listened to you, I should’ve taken a break, I do understand now, I’m a grown-up person, It’s the time when I prove myself, The first time...

Dear Failures of Mine, You have taught me a lot, and yes I admit the fact that I ignored you a few times, but couldn't always. You know you are the one who taught me that "Comparison" can never be the key to Success. I remember having a talk with you that night when I... Continue Reading →
No one could ever understand him, It was not because he was dumb, It was not because no one knew sign language, It was just that no one tried to see through him, Everyone tried to Communicate, But failed to Sense, Everyone told him stories of "Success", But no one acknowledged his past Wins, Was...

It has been a long time since I met her, The only person who understands everything before I even speak, She who laughs at all my jokes, Not because they're funny, Just because she knew how awkward I was with my sense of humour, The one who could understand my tone, A friend who would...

Scrolling through the camera roll, I did find a lot many memories, Every time they could see an expressionless face, Trying to fit in the frame in a very awkward manner, Not every person who shows emotion is emotional, And not every person who doesn't shower emotion is emotionless, Here I was, on a crossroad,...

I froze the time for you, No more will anyone bother us, No more do you need to be aware of yourself, You don't need to listen to anyone, It's just you and me, and the silence, You never asked for a thing, Never did I see you back-off in any situation, You always have... Continue Reading →

It was a long journey, From a not-so-enlightened person to someone quite organized, I always chose the window seat, Not because I could see what's going outside, Rather spend time with my playlist and recollect everything that happened over 6 years, I would carry my playlist everywhere because they aren't just songs, Each song had...

It's been 5 years now, You never told me what bugs you, You were an introverted type of person, a handful could understand you, And could interpret your pain, You were quiet, struggling with your problems, You never shed a tear, Always tried to escape emotional frames, You were always there whenever someone was in...

Tightening a rope across his neck, He hung his dreams, His passion, His soul! He could just see the blue ink spilt all over the white canvas, He was lacking colours, Colors which slowly faded as he was clearing each grade, He travelled a long distance, from "D" to"A+", This journey wasn't easy, it didn't...
