Me, Myself & Extra Fries

I took myself out on a date today,
Just me, my snacks, and a grand buffet.
No need to share, no "Are you done?"
Just chewing loud and having fun.

I winked at mirrors as I passed,
Said, “Hey good lookin’!” — what a blast!
My flaws? They’re quirks, I do declare,
My double chin? Extra flair.

I danced alone, my socks went flying,
My cat looked on, mildly sighing.
But I was queen, no need to prove—
In pajama pants, I’ve got the groove.

So here’s to me, my wild delight,
I hug myself and sleep real tight.
If loving me is kinda weird—
Then call me proud, and slightly beard.

Whispers in the Vale – Tears in Pahalgam

In the hush of Pahalgam’s silent stream,
Where willows weep and children dream,
A shadow fell on peace that day,
As innocence was torn away.

The meadows stood in quiet grief,
The mountains mourned without relief,
For blood was spilled where lambs should play,
And terror stole the light away.

A wife weeped, her husband won’t rise,
The echo of her shattered cries
Now mingles with the chinar trees,
That tremble in the morning breeze.

O world, where is your trembling heart?
When hate and horror play their part
Upon the stage of human pain,
And leave behind this crimson stain?

Let not these tears be shed in vain—
Raise voices louder than the pain.
For every soul unjustly lost,
Let justice rise, whate’er the cost.

O Pahalgam, your wounds run deep,
Yet through your sorrow, may we keep
A flame of hope the dark can’t dim—
That light shall rise, though skies grow grim.

Justice for the fallen. Peace for the living. Humanity must prevail.

Three’s a Crowd (But a Cozy One)

In a trio tight with laughs and cheer,
Two play sly while one goes “Hey, here!”
They nudge and tease with grins so wide,
As the lone one pouts with mock-up pride.

“Not fair!” they cry, arms crossed in jest,
While the others giggle, never rest.
But underneath the playful war,
Lies a bond that’s something more.

They tease with love, not spite or sting,
Each jab’s a joke, each laugh a wing.
And though two gang up now and then,
Next time, it flips all over again!

For in this trio’s twist and spin,
No one's out and all are in.
It’s love disguised as prank and play—
A friendship blooming every day.

So let them plot, let banter fly,
With tickle fights and half-meant sighs.
Because when three hearts beat as one,
Even mischief feels like sun.

“In the warmth of real friendship, even being outnumbered feels like being hugged twice.”

A Love Letter to Tea

Oh dearest Tea, my steamy friend,
Our bond shall never break or bend.
With every sip, my soul takes flight—
You're morning's hug and afternoon's delight.

You're not like coffee—bold and brash,
You don’t demand, you gently splash.
You whisper peace, not buzz and jitters,
You calm my soul, not cause the twitters.

Earl Grey, you're classy, such refined grace,
While Chai brings spice and warms the place.
Green tea’s zen with yoga poses,
Chamomile tucks me in with roses.

When Mondays strike with groggy doom,
You brew your charm and clear the gloom.
No drama, no tantrum, no hissy fits—
Just hot leaf juice with subtle wits.

So here’s to you, my steeped soulmate,
My teabag muse, my flavored fate.
Forever yours, in mug and heart,
Until the kettle do us part.

Joyful Bonds

We giggle through the sunshine,
We high-five through the rain,
With friends who make us belly-laugh And dance away the pain.
They know our quirks, our cookie loves, our secret silly ways,
And turn the ordinary into magical, wild days.

A little love goes far enough to stretch around the globe,
No need for crowns or fancy things or velvet, golden robes.
Just kindness tucked in tiny acts, like sharing snacks or time.

Laughter's like a trampoline, it bounces when you fall,
It lifts you up, flips gloom around, and throws it at the wall.
It bubbles up in goofball jokes and memes that make no sense.

We pass around our kindness like it's cake at someone's bash,
A little sweet, a little warm, with extra friendship stash.
We cheer each other’s weird ideas and hype up every win,
‘Cause love's not just for fairytales—it lives beneath our grin.

So here’s to us, the dreamer bunch,
With hearts that burst with glee,
To friends who stick like glitter glue through every jubilee.
To lead with love, to laugh a lot, and live out loud somehow!

Sometimes you do everything right,
But you do not understand how,
You just faulter to get blamed,
Even if the intentions are right,
You are just thrown off-guard,
Not understanding where did you went wrong,
May be it is because people see their side first,
And when it is not favourable to them,
They just give that away and do not understand,
What implication it can have on another person,
You might seem like a smaller person,
End up self doubting that you are a shallow person,
But when you know you have not done anything wrong,
Just stand up for yourself take a stand,
And move out because your well being should be your priority,
You can't always please everyone and keep them happy,
Provided people have the understanding,
And know the difference that,
Complaining and sharing problems are not same!!

संघर्ष का गीत
होंठों पे जिसके कई गीत हो,
जो गीत उसके हार के दुख को दूर रख दें,
और बाद में वो एक ऐसी जीत हासिल करे,
जो उसे क‌ई हारो के बाद मिला हो,
मोल तो ‌इस खुशी का तभी सबसे ऊपर रहेगा,
जब वो हृदय को चूम कर आंखों से अश्रु बनके,
कलेजे को ठंडक दें।।

মা একজন এরম দেবী,
সব সময় আমাদের হৃদয়েতে আছে,
তোমার আশীর্বাদে আমি চলে যাই সবসময় সুরক্ষিত।
তোমার হাসি আমার আত্মার দীপ্তি,
যেন আলোর ঝলক সব সময় রয়েছে জীবনের অন্ধকারে প্রতিদিনে।

মা, তোমার কাছে আমি পাই আশ্রয়,
তোমার কাছে বিশ্বাস রেখে হারাই অবাক।
তোমার স্পর্শে পাই স্নেহের আনন্দ,
যেন বৃষ্টির বুনে মেঘের ছায়া মনে থাকে চিরকাল।

মা, তোমার ভালোবাসা অমৃত সমুদ্র,
তোমার প্রতি চরণ ফেরা আমার ধরা,
যেন সব আশার বাঁধন ভেঙ্গে স্বপ্ন মিলে,
আমার সাথে হতে পারে চিরকাল।

মা, তোমাকে জানাই আমার ভালোবাসা,
মায়ের দিনে শুভেচ্ছা জানাই,
সাথে সাথে সব সময় প্রতিবার।

Existential Peace
When the mind is full of thoughts,
And the shoulders are burdened off,
To prove the worth of your existence,
No matter how worthy you ever felt,
Tackling the outer worlds fruitless advises,
Which comes out with no consolation,
Just a collection of bland words,
That make us doubt and feel down,
Everything just suffocates out,
Sometimes you just need to stand tall,
For yourself and for your inner peace,
Against all the chaos that has been built,
Around the time in your mind and heart,
Because only you can vouch for yourself,
In the chaos of this outer world,
So never be unkind to your soul,
Respect it with all love and care,
After all you deserve all the peace,
To keep that smile on!!

In the world full of people,
You sometimes meet a person,
Who make you belive in yourself,
Stays by your side to see you shine,
And achieve new heights in life,
You just connect with them in a way,
That no one ever made you feel,
Everything just feel right with them,
Yes there are bound to be disagreements,
Being different individuals,
But what matters is that you two,
Just sway together in a partnership,
That help in each other to grow,
Because you don't give up,
You smile in each other's success,
And wish that they keep on the smile always,
Life is great when there is a sense fullness,
Always value each other's presence,
And respect the vibes that you share,
To help each other shine bright in life!!
