What am I?

What am IIf not waterBound in a boundless spaceFlowing directionless,hardly leaving a trace What am IIf not the windHowling unheardBlowing away to the unknownand, in my trance, I dance alone What am IIf not the cloudSubdued and simplisticon a serene summer dayYet defiant with thunder when pushed to the edge What am IIf not a…

The C words: Change. Commitment. Compromise.

“Change requires immense will … will to adjust, to understand, to look at the other point of view, perhaps to get up from a position of regulated comfort and to walk across to the fence to peep into the ‘greener’ grass of the neighbour. It may require quantum leaps … but the way of the…

Method in Madness

‘There is a method in madness’- that’s what they say. But somehow- the current situation of traffic in Delhi makes me think differently. I almost had a run-over yesterday. And ya ya.. it was scary and everything. It made me jump out of my seat with goosebumps on my skin. And it made me see…

Starry-eyed Stare…

While walking along a narrow road I stumble on a frozen stone I look up at the winding path two eyes piercing at me in the dark they shine so bright, I go still with fright A chill seeps into my bones As I stand there… on the narrow road… Alone and scared, with no…

Eve-teasing: WHY?

As I stepped out of my office today to buy some snacks to munch while working (yes! i love those high-calorie ones!)- there was a ‘gang’ of not-so-educated fellows standing next to my office building. The moment they saw me- the catcalls began… I know I should be used to such scenarios and probably just…

One Day…

Even though my heart is bound my soul will fly unto the unknown.. up above the sky… It is a truth that i cant deny life and blood sorrow and joy all gone only memories survive… the welcome in your eyes the numerous fights the care, the love the dejection, the hurt teardrops that ran…
