It’s Okay to be not Okay!

Haven’t we always been told to “Be strong”? We are constantly asked to hold ourselves together and never show our vulnerable and weak sides to anybody lest we will no longer remain the ideal being who has everything figured out and has immense control over his/her emotions. This is what I grew up believing- Being...

Home to my chaos!

I've been a chaos, Tangled and messy. My thoughts restricting any rebel wanting to untangle, to come close to it. My own little world it was. A little shelter of mine. Protecting me. But he came, flashing his brightest smile. No butterflies. No anxiety. Strange calm, he brought with himself. He kept untangling, bit by...

You need to break these walls!

"Sometimes, it's better to bring down those walls!" We, as human beings have this protective tendency. We want to protect ourselves and our loved ones from all the storms that life inflict upon us from time to time. We want to be safe. Yes, exactly Safe. After all, healing wounds is a tedious task which...

What did I Do wrong?

As I saw you again after years. The mere sight sent me shivers. Yes, I was very young and naive. But I could decipher that you weren't nice. The way you touched me was so wrong. Never imagined that it will leave a scar for lifelong. What was so sexual in me? for god sake,...

अलमारी में कैद बचपन!

I tried translating it in English but it was losing it's essence. ------------- महीनों बाद घर वापिस जाना हुआ। अनजान सड़कों से गुज़रकर, फिर पुरानी गलियों पर आना हुआ। माँ ने पुरानी अलमारी को साफ़ करने को कहा। बेकार चीज़ों को फेंक, कीमती को जमाने को कहा।...

Inside- Outside.

I looked outside the window, I see life. Inside, there's me surviving. Outside, there's happiness, Glee and Merry. Inside, gloom, hopelessness and despair reside. Outside, I see the youth of life. Inside, life taking it's few last breaths. Outside, nature colouring the world. Inside, White sheet blinding me. Outside, Hands wiping away each other's tears....

When Past Interferes Too Much!

These are those unavoidable speed breakers per se which reminds us time and again that too much speed kills. We, as humans find it pretty easy to share our happy moments with people....

Let’s talk about it!

Imagine yourself being stuck in an endless spiral unable to get out. You try every thing possible to free yourself from this loop but something pulls you back. Imagine the feeling of being in the crowd and suddenly sweating out with the fear of getting lost. Imagine being out with your friends, laughing and cracking...

Will you be able to face your 5 year old self?

Playing with my 5 year old nephew and admiring his innocence and zeal, a thought struck me hard. I was once this silly kid too. We all were. Naive. Away from the world. Not too smart and mature. No big dreams and aspirations in life. Eating, playing and sleeping away the whole day. Growing up...
