"Why don't you go out & make a few friends?" His Mother asked him. He replied with a nod, "Kids of your age enjoy their time, why are so different??" She added. He replied with an "Okay" lacking eye-contact, and went back to his room, surrounded himself with gadgets. We'll have played either of the... Continue Reading →
Chasing the Clouds
"Aren't you tired doing something that gives you nothing in return?" This was the question that everyone did ask me when I was started writing short stories and Letters on this blog and wrote a book on psychology and short stories. A weird choice of genres, I know! But what's actually Life, if you don't... Continue Reading →
Factory Grade
They failed to understand his silence, He failed to convey his intentions, It was not all about consoling him that "Everything would be alright", He knew that things would change for his own good, He was different, He worked day and night to achieve his dreams, He had to quit everything, from social life to...

The Roar
Finding my way through the Jungle, I landed among a herd of people, With black circles around their eyes, Their eye balls constantly glancing through different apps, They were looking for something, Something that they weren’t able to find on their device, Something that would wake them up from their exhausted sleep overnight, Something that...

Letter to the Times I Failed
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 →
You Gotta Stick by me
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...

The Fall
It's not always easy to pick yourself up after a fall, The damage cannot be reduced, Neither can it be forgotten, What creates an impact is the "Lesson that we learn from the Fall", Not everyone is gifted with an ability to heal quickly, Not everyone heals at the same pace, It takes time to...

The Last Passenger
He could see his "youth" in the boy, The boy sat at the corner of the street, nervous and still, The taxi driver could recollect his past, What could he do, Neither can he empathize nor can he console him, The Eerie silence added horror to the boy's almost moist eyes, The driver bought a...

A Mask for a Lifetime
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,...

Overnight
"A Successful person with a hell lot of Arrogance" He was tagged with something that he never was! Few knew his past, remaining assumed, Time and situation were never easy on him, They lashed him out every single time he tried to be different, Responsibilities turned his brain into a processor over-time, Now he computes...

A Shooting Star
Quarells became an inevitable part of her life, It had become frequent and fewer times much violent for her, Because she opted to settle for a job role that she never desired, She never dreamt about!

Horizon
Striking off the last task on my to-do list, I was approached by a kid, Her cycle's pedal was broken, She looked at me with an eye full of hopes that I would do something, I just took out a new to-do list which she saw, She did ask me what I would write on... Continue Reading →
The Story of a Keyboard
"The Story of a Keyboard" is my take on "Theory of Stress" and "Theory of Bouncing back with the best plan". Let's first understand about "Theory of Stress". We, humans, are occupied with some or the other task. Let it be as simple as "boiling an egg" or as complex as "testing a multi-million dollar... Continue Reading →
