Eye Contact
Even one second of eye contact with you Fills me with rout The calmness on your face makes me wonder, What your loudest mind is thinking about? Do you still feel uncomfortable around me or Consider having a word, before heading out? All these questions about our encounters Just leave me thirsty in this hopeless drought You must have forgotten the laughs we shared But am I good at goodbyes? Having a self-doubt The day you left in a questionable manner Made me think, was I happy with you or without? The curiosity to solve this puzzle is so draining That I’m killing myself everyday, having a burnout And your…

A Knot
Do you Remember when I called you my wife proposing with a paper ring during a prom night? You laughed so hard and blew my mind , But promised to stay along and hang tight? That lovely shade of white we booked in a bridal shop Thinking the day we exchange our vows will be bright? Each ceremony we practiced together and you chose someone else hiding it from my sight ?. Not gonna lie, The diamonds on your gown filled my eyes with tears The second I got your married pictures drinking my beer Just wondering how years of love just faded away with a goodbye I still remember…

Silent Fire
“I just wanna see who she is and how she looks,” a conversation between two friends with a glass of champagne and soft laughter from other guests under the golden chandeliers were making me forget everything, yet I was thinking about us, holding gaze at something I don’t even know, thinking how would you react to this if you were here. You are unaware how I survived after you in a world of assumptions. Every day felt like reliving our conversations all over again, but somehow I slowly began to break free from the painful fantasies about us. However, one fantasy still lingered and never left me alone, which was…

Whispers in the Corner
Around 5 pm, the fading glow of dusk and dark corners were creating an eerie silence in a dimly lit lobby. The air was thick and cool, hinting at the early fall. The white chiffon curtains were rustling softly. The lone table in the center of the space, and the shadows of the railing, were adding a touch of mystery to the dark mahogany floor. The atmosphere was hushed, with only soft whispers and gentle footsteps from the corridors breaking the silence. Leaning against the wall, wearing white linen clothes, I was lost in my phone reading, “A Rainy Encounter.” And you suddenly appeared before me, asking how I was…

Birthdays!
Remember those fights for a special dress, you never bought me for my birth day? Every year, how I used to declare which colour theme, I wanted so badly on this day? The way I wanted someone to surprise me, I used to do that for others in a special way remember the small gifts and cards made for you, on your happy returns of the day? how beautifully the house was decorated for party at night and gathering during the day? I used to expect those lavish moments but only in private, without my say You tried your best not being perfect and I was always complaining in some…

Change: A complex Reality
Change is an integral part of life, bringing both progress and uncertainty. It can inspire innovation and self-improvement, but also cause anxiety and discomfort, leaving us unsure about what’s happening around us. As change unfolds, it challenges our belief system, tests our strength, and shifts our perspectives, raising many questions in our head. We see this in various aspects of life. For example, in India, native languages are prohibited in English schools, and students are charged for each word spoken in their mother tongue while in English-speaking countries, people pay to learn those same languages. Similarly, people in Asia and Europe fight over religion and land, but unite in North…

Unfinished Business
What is unfinished business, and are you experiencing any? Unfinished business refers to the lingering emotional chaos between two entities, people, or energies. It can manifest in various ways, such as a sudden cold shoulder from someone you care about, an unexplained dream, or the absence of a familiar pet in the park – all creating a sense of incompleteness that leads to curiosity, anxiety, anger, or overthinking, depending on how it ended. If thought about excessively, it consumes your energy, leaving you exhausted and affecting your mental and physical health. When I have unresolved business with someone, I find myself overthinking in various situations, negatively impacting my mood. Sometimes,…

Crying: A Natural Emotional Release
When and why do we cry? We cry when we are overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, guilt, happiness, or frustration. We cry when we’ve hurt someone unintentionally, feel helpless, or struggle to express ourselves authentically. We cry when we try to cut ties with our blood relations but can’t. We cry when we wonder if we’re a bad person after making poor choices or when we leave something behind after making a good choice. Either way, our emotions seek release. Bottling up emotions leads to frustration, which can lead to breakdowns. In these moments, we feel drained and may feel like we’re drowning in a sea of feelings, unsure of…

A Rainy Encounter
July 16, 2024 This rainy day again is transporting me to a different world by casting a mystical spell in the air; transforming green trees into dark, cloudy shades, and turning black asphalt roads into a rhythmic dance floor beaten by heavy drums of raindrops. The sound of wind whispers through the leaves and creates a romantic and healing ambiance. I wish you were here to experience it with me. As I am enjoying this weather, I wish you didn’t have an umbrella while walking to your car, and I appear with one to offer you shelter. You hesitate to accept it, as if trying to flee, like always, and…

The Weight of Indecisiveness
What do you feel when you’re being indecisive? I know what I feel when I try to weigh the pros and cons of something and can’t make a decision. I feel drained. Being an independent person I’ve made all my decisions without anyone’s help. Still, many. times I get caught up in the cycle of indecision, and it’s not always related to big things. It can be anything from big to small, from relocating to a new place, changing jobs, to choosing between two outfits for a Monday or two dishes for dinner. It can be anything. As a fire sign, I behave like a Libra sometimes, weighing all the…
