Crafted for someone extremely special, Suffering from a severe case of cold-feet. When you’re not ready to conform, But the whole world is, So you find yourself struggling, Within the shackles of your own imagination, Defining and then Re-defining boundaries, Drowning in confusion, Smothered by love. No one seems to understand, That your disagreement is […]
We were all eighteen once, And we dreamed of days, When we’d have homes and families of our own, Happily-ever-afters and together forevers, Our own little fairy tales. We practiced our winning speeches, Day-dreamed of our love stories, And their perfect endings, Imagined how happy we’d be, As soon as ‘this’ is over. Only ‘this’ […]
You know how some people feel like home,Even when you speak after forever?You slip back into conversation,Like you’d never stopped.The playful banter,The teasing,The quiet proclamations of love,The promises of protection from every sort of evil,And it’s all said without saying anything at all.Then you worry for a second before saying bye,What if this is the […]

In this world full of hate, pain and sorrow, you tell me there is a darkness that is more true, that there are witches and wizards, spewing their toxic spells, spreading their poisons. You talk about evil and its spawn, their venom spreading like disease, that can collapse entire universes, its occupants dropping dead like […]
She, brown bodied,Blue eyed,Green haired,Beauty!She nourishes,She grows,She creates. The Sun is hers,And so is the moon,The stars all shine for her. Then came man,most beloved,She loved him like no other! He cut off the green tresses,He poisoned the blue eyes,He killed all her children,He filled her with trash. She unleashed the waters,She summoned the winds,She […]
I don’t know why you left,Like in the middle of a sentence,Or almost at the end of a nice book,Without finishing your dialogues or the story. I was unaffected at first,But your face kept cropping up everywhere I looked,(Like cockroaches on their nightly prowl)And so did your memories. I am perturbed now,Disturbed even,Why would you […]
Recently, one of my friends decided to hold me accountable for sharing the boislockerroom post on Instagram. Rather censoriously he said “don’t you think you should have waited a little while before supporting a story that has since been proven baseless?”, it made me very uncomfortable or maybe even a little insecure. So I lashed […]
I dedicate this to the kindness of the longest serving ruler of the Arab world, our Sultan to whom we will be forever indebted. Someone recently pointed out to me that there is a possibility that I could have a condition called ‘chronic loyalty disorder’ and I agreed, that was quite possible. I think I […]
