Face Off

With one side of my face paralyzed I have often been misunderstood by people. My smiling would be mistaken for a smirk. Some have wondered if I was grimacing at something that they said or sneering at them for some reason. Come to think of

An Affair with a Foreboding

I no longer feel my tears when they roll down my cheek on the left side of my face. It is a rare feeling per se, for when a teardrop does fall, it remains stranded on the precipice of my eyelashes whilst my eyes don’t

The Recuperative Road Ahead

I often find myself being riled up by a constant foreboding owing to my recent severe headaches. I remember the day I was hit by it. I was working on my computer, been staring at the screen for a long time, for I code, which

सब कुछ है नीला

चलो कह देतें हैं एक और झूठ,आखिर दुनिया में सच है ही क्या? आकाश का रंग,है आँखों का छलावा |अगर अंबर है नीला,तो मेरा मन भी है नीला,मेरी ज़ुबान भी है नीली, मेरा पैसा भी नीला |मेरे बाल,चलो कुछ तो सफ़ेदपर बाकी सब है नीले

मेरा छोटा सा जहाज़

A Poem

How would you rather have me?Between the words of a meterOr in a misshapen form.Fighting a war with syllablesOr ridden with adjectivesWith allusions galore.Do you like me in a rhyme?Or prefer me not in a noteTo a metrical song.Do you want to sell me?In the

My Writing Pad

Each day is my writing pad,I carve letters through my routine,Some days sound the sameBut every page remains different.Some days don’t speak at all,While some days sing a song,Some end up getting torn,When I trundle on their edgesTo test at what point do I fallOut
