Grave

I swear to the promises taken to grave that if I was running with the cold winds back in the familiar streets of the place I call home I would look for you I would look for you like a surgeon's numb hands doing CPR Like a bullet which hits nothing Like a lady wailing...

Six Feet Under

I said I wish that everything stays the same always. You told me that it will not. And as it turned out, nothing at all remained the same. It was as if you had already booked your tickets to a flight that was going to leave and I didn't even know that there was a...

I Hope Your Eyes Are The Same Colour

In this city, all I hear are the wailing car sirens and the crowded metro taking people to empty places in the dark night. When my mother calls me to ask if I reached back, I say, yes Maa I am back home. But I don't know where home is anymore. I was always scared...

Fairy Lights on the Floor

She never believed in destiny. She never believed in anything which started with the phrase ‘if it’s meant to be it will be’ because how can something happen if you don’t work towards it? Two years ago they had met for the first time in October. It was just for a few hours but it...

All things SWEET and TIPSY pt.3

“Do you remember the time we first met?” “Of course I do! How can I not? I still feel the same way every time this cute little human walks towards me”, he said while trying to hug her   “Nooo! Tell me exactly how you remember it. “She replied “Ah! Okay. See it wasn’t like...
