The world fell quiet this year,Like the forest, when the night comes near.But, we didn’t get sunlight this year,We were stuck in a dark place, surrounded by fear. But, there were things I learnt,About myself, about this world.I tried to look at the glass as half full,This year was something new,And the ride was farContinue reading “Waiting for dawn.”

Premonition
A short story… The last of the suitcases were stuffed in the backseat and the car door was closed. Naisha went over to the front, moved over some of her belongings to make some place and sat down. Her father was already in the driver’s seat, he looked at her eagerly and asked, “So, youContinue reading “Premonition”
A Dying doom and the ultimate imagination.
Thomas More wrote a book called ‘Utopia’ during the rennaissance period. It was about an imaginary island somewhere in America, where there were no social disparities, no blind faith, only peace and friendship. No such island exists till date, does it? These social barriers still prevail. Privileged people on one side, and the underprivileged onContinue reading “A Dying doom and the ultimate imagination.”
The Categorical Imperative and 2020
Immanuel Kant was a famous philosopher, well proclaimed for his theory- The Categorical Imperative. This theory is a deontological form of ethics. What is deontology, exactly? Well, deontology is a theory created by multiple thinkers stating that, we shouldn’t act without thinking about the consequences, (here’s the catch…) but instead we should act according toContinue reading “The Categorical Imperative and 2020”
The Things We Hide…
Secrets as dark as the night,Regretful pasts locked in their cages and trying to take flight.Hopelessness trapped away from everybody,Just like the dark side of the moon,Our dark side nobody can see.Cowardice cloaked by a thin veil,While some others have blood red courage hidden beneath.A tender heart,Covered in steel.Memories that age,Like the dried autumn leaves.HappinessContinue reading “The Things We Hide…”
‘Hell is other people.’ -Jean Paul Sartre
Can it be true, do I really agree with this dude? Let’s see. What (rather, who) cause all of my problems? People. Who haunt me in my nightmares? People. Truly hell is other people. But wouldn’t having only one lookout be pessimistic? Yes, so if other people consist of hell. Then some others also consistContinue reading “‘Hell is other people.’ -Jean Paul Sartre”
Cliff…
Look at the purple sky,The streaks of orange,Clouds passing by.Standing at the precipice,Staring at the rock bottom,I don’t dare look at the beauty,Too scared to shatter my thoughts,I don’t look above me.That’s what we miss,When we think about falling.We miss vibrancy,When you’re too busy to wonder,About how you’re alive,Too lost for the vast sky.Too selfContinue reading “Cliff…”
Books and infinite loyalty…
Ahhh books, to be among them can be compared to simple bliss such as walking through wet grass, and breathing the pleasant scent of moist earth.Both of them, give me the same pleasure and joy.

The Fault in Our Stars book review.
So, I recently read the book, The Fault in Our Stars. I know many of you may say, “whoa! She hadn’t read it till now?” Yeah, I haven’t, because I avoid books filled with deep emotion, I don’t like books that force me to come face to face with these. I usually read books fullContinue reading “The Fault in Our Stars book review.”

My best friend and I
My best friend and I,We gossip and talk.When we’re super bored,We take long walks.We stalk random people,And creep them out.Our walks are not normal, trust me.We take photos,Then gossip again.In the blink of an eye,Our topics change.I’m the weird one in our friendship,We go amazing together,We’re as similar as truth and fibs,Yeah, we’re actually totallyContinue reading “My best friend and I”
Carry on…
Tell the wind to wait,Its blowing too fast.Carrying you away,Not sure you’ll last.Tell time to stop,Everything’s knocking you off your feet,All you’re left with is memories.When you feel,Everything going swiftly by.In the blowing storm,Nobody can hear you cry.You need to carry yourself onward,With great strength moving forward.Tears streaming down your face,Nobody around,You have to carryContinue reading “Carry on…”
Path.
So many people,Choose to walk the same path.It feels so ethereal,That the same thought,Crossed so many minds.So many humans,So alike.I want to break the chain,And make my own way.From this fragile mindset,I want to run away.All paths lead to Rome,Is what they say.That can’t be true,I’ll prove it myself.Far away cries,That call me to thatContinue reading “Path.”

Mathematics…snore
I hate maths, but it’s not because it’s hard. But, because the way it affects me. My confidence always shatters when I study math, it has the ability to confront me the way nobody can.Math comes easily to so many people, but it’s always the same for me. I go for the tests thinking I’mContinue reading “Mathematics…snore”
The ‘organised’ person I am…
I love mess, it’s mostly because I relate with it. The disorder always calms me down. Yet for some reason, whenever I see a very clean desk with only a few things on it. I do my best, to place them symmetrically , one on top of the other in perfect order.That’s so weird right? LikeContinue reading “The ‘organised’ person I am…”
