Sometimes, at odd times actually, I miss my people. The ones that always stood by me, the ones who always lifted me up, the ones that were my safe space, my comfort zone. As I am writing this, I am wondering who these people actually are. It’s hard, you know, to keep up with theContinue reading “the transitional friends (1)”

between self & study
I had never realised how important academic validation was for me, until I lost it. I struggle day & night, to get full marks on an assignment, a quiz or maybe a presentation; anything, that’ll boost my self morale. My self esteem varies according to my gpa. I feel insulted whenever i get marks onContinue reading “between self & study”
the grey & the golden
You know, I sometimes think places have people attributes. They can be kind or unkind, warm or outrightly cold, they can comfort you, heal you, brighten your day. They can also make you cry, and elevate your pain. They can be your friends, or acquaintances or even enemies. You have memories attached to them. TheyContinue reading “the grey & the golden”
a fork in the road
One of the most painful things in this world is to see two people who are dearest to you, hurt each other. And you can’t call either one wrong because you know no one is wrong. One is the cause, yes, but when no one sides with him, you want to. When no one speaksContinue reading “a fork in the road”

Reconnect
During this period of social distancing, I’ve tried to reconnect with nature. Every night, on the rooftop I look up at the clear black sky, once fogged with smog; the stars, that were once hidden behind the smoke – a souvenir of the various human activities- and in the silence of the night, when IContinue reading “Reconnect”

خوشی: (translation: happiness)Happy- adj (feeling or showing pleasure or contentment)I read a book once, it was called “this is what happy looks like”. Since then I’ve been wondering what happy would look like to me. Have i ever come across it? If happy and I collided, would i find it familiar or foreign?To everyone, happyContinue reading “let’s meet happy”
Powerlines
A few years ago, in school, we were asked to decorate our classrooms. A girl from my class cut out a couplet by a very famous poet and put it up on the wall. I loved it. Since then, I’ve felt emotionally attached to that couplet. It brings back a lot of good memories, wheneverContinue reading “Powerlines”
Battles witnessed from the sidelines
It took me some time to realize that there are certain things which are better left unknown because knowing them affects us and our life in weird ways. Often in negative ways. If we grow up with a bad memory or an opinion that we’ve formed about something or somebody, it can affect the restContinue reading “Battles witnessed from the sidelines”
