I want a black moon that serenades my sky Melting into the Sun as dawn approaches Coloring the fields in hues of blue and yellow Each day brighter than the last, never losing its focus. // I want to see colorful birds swim And men in black suits fly The streets to be crowded with […]

The power of not knowing
After toiling through my thoughts and with the assistance of some ridiculously reckless past decisions, I have come to the realization that emotional growth is as essential for us human beings, as Veganism is to a white girl or Cricket is to Indian men- it is inevitable but it comes with its own set of […]
A Satanic tragedy
She is a beautiful paradox,A melody that could create havoc in your head,You could spend hours and hours toiling the thoughts in your mind,Just enough to make you wish you were dead.//She is born out of sins and chaos,A ravishing beauty of the utmost wilderness,In the world’s eyes she is just an innocent coddled child,But […]
The process of meeting me
// Maybe I haven’t met all of me yet. Maybe it is an arduous process, maybe it will even take as long as a lifetime. It kills me to realize that I might never know myself completely, that there are parts of me hidden in places that I do not know exist within me, parts […]
A reverberation of the past
Help me! she says as she trips back into the hole, Sin, not gravity, pulling her back to her roots, “I sensed you were near, dear” reverberates the familiar voice, “Nothing much has changed here since, just follow the rules.” // She is addicted to all the bad things they warned you about, Misogynists, liars, […]
The irreplaceable you
Existence is not accidental. The universe works in a certain way for a reason, be it good, bad or horrifying.

Nothing would be the same, if even one minuscule thing that exists on this planet […]
A temporary forever?
“If that blue could stay forever, if that hole could remain forever; if this moment could stay forever” -Virginia Woolf Forever. The simple utterance of this word has the power to get back a person, a place or a distinct memory in millions of minds, all in the matter of a mere second; but what […]
In the making
I am pieces of all the places I have been to And all the people I have met, The ones I’ve loved and despised And the stories that have been told and read. // I am pieces of the song lyrics that resonate with me And quotes that touch my soul, Sharing experiences and collecting […]
The intoxicating drug
“Is hope a drug we need to go off of, or is it keeping us alive?” -Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw said it 20 years ago and has had me questioning my life choices ever since! But really, does hope do that to us? Is it just a concept to let us believe that […]
Too (in)human?
Its ironic how the word “inhuman” actually resonates so much with the identity of humans themselves, who even knew a species could have an antonym? But then again, “human” too was created by man himself to popularize the general identity of anything with a maximum of two legs that can walk, two hands that can write […]
