An ode

An ode, to the walls seeing the unseen faces/ to the floor carrying spilled coffee/ to the gates etched with the memories of goodbyes and hellos/ to the mugs held in between fingers with little care/ to the plates disrespected most of the times/ to the unclear mirror of dust/ to the micellar water removing […]

An Internal Affair

Poems,about life that is like a broken bridge,about birth that always has ends,about the […]

For a student his world is full of desks, chairs, chalks and books. With summers and autumns, with exposure to the sphere, better lessons are taught and learnt.

Unplanned and unedited #1

I open google docs and type this. I hear a neighbour yelling at the lean uncle who’s laying the road in our colony. I see a jasmine creeper dying. I feel heaviness in my head. My hair bun is heavy, I have to oil, comb and plait it before 6, before we switch on the […]

Mistakes #6WSP

Ma’am, she just makes silly mistakes. That’s a story of myself. I was a bright kid back then (even now :p). But I make a lot and lots of silly errors in exams. My mom was always worried about this so, she frequently asks my class teacher if I lacked concentration and the teacher used […]
