It's a peculiar way in which eye-openers come darting at you. They're there even before you know it. Mine came last night, in the form of the ledger balance available in my account. After registering the shock and composing myself saying "it's okay, I'm young, I can afford to spend that kind of money once in a while", I woke... Continue Reading →
Between Us | Yeha, Whatever!
I have been following Tame SheWolf for a while now and I get her posts delivered via e-mail. I was sitting in a mall when this one got delivered to my inbox. I started reading it, and, for me, the mall began fading out into the background. This poem made me think of a porch... Continue Reading →
Spools of Thread
I have a hundred thoughts in my mind. A thousand, if you will. It's a shame I can't point one out from another. My mind that was once a neat room decked with colourful spools of threads. Threads of all kinds. Now, those spools of threads have fallen off their places, and have entangled in... Continue Reading →
It’s Been A While…
I was watching the final season of Desperate Housewives over the weekend. The show, if you keep your prejudices about the name aside, is a very brilliantly written show. I respect any creation that has a good story as its spine. It makes me respect the writer and everyone who agreed to work on it.... Continue Reading →

Intertwined into you; a creeper on a tree. After a while, I can't point out you from me. And when they begin digging out your roots; It's no surprise my skin begins to bleed. -Sameen

Undone
A cascading string of pearls; condensed water plunging from the sky. Waterfalling books off my open shelf; a strained relationship's last try. A bereaved family-tree's autumn leaves; and the water bearer's broken pot. Shattering belief after asking to trust again; on the doorstep, a last forget-me-not. Tumbling entreaties at Death's arrival, counting blessings for barter... Continue Reading →
Sprinkled Sentiments # 11
I don't have anything intelligent, concrete, funny, sentimental, lyrical, or even mundane to talk about. So, if you wish you can turn right around and go back to doing some other reading somewhere. Or maybe have chips. Or maybe poke someone in the ribs. Or maybe do anything else you think is more interesting. I'm... Continue Reading →
I Wish I Were…
Sometimes I wish I could be a still lake. Recovering instantly after they throw stones at me. Swirling when the disowned leaves fall upon me; and coming back to who I've always been, very soon. Bearing the weight of their burden unload into me when they swim and yet become myself even as they glide... Continue Reading →
