stories of rebirth and
whispers of hope.
Show me kaleidoscope
of colours without
the hoax of mirrors.
They show me life goes on
and there's always a new leaf
following each fall.

-

I found solace
amongst sweat
and dust,
Maybe, my
subconscious knows
my final destination.

-

There are definitely better writers than you,
But they are not narrating the tale you want to.

-

Dear Charming,
The shoe does fit,
But this princess doesn't,
Find another damsel in distress,
This one needs to digress.

-

It's okay to be wrong,
It's okay to be lost,
It's okay to feel low,
It's okay to say no.

Failures come, victories go,
This is life,
Full of highs and lows.

Embrace your imperfections,
Let out your insecurities,
Let go of your inhibitions,
Live to your highest potentials.

-

"Teach me, oh life, to practice what I preach,
Let me be away from all insecurities,
Show me resilience to every problem,
Let me not fall to the depression of failures."

The prayer remained unanswered, queries never indulged.

"So, when shall I get the lesson?" The annoyed complainant screeched.

"The lesson already started." Was the reply.

-

The smell of freshly mowed grass,
The sound of sister's terrible Hindi accent,
The laughter on the prank well played,
The chalk coated armour post a rigorous 'war',
The high pitched exclamation of principal's in the corridor,
The echoing groan at the punishment of sitting next to a girl,
The fictitious tales of the teacher's past,
The rampant rushing out of the door,
The initial, 'I am never gonna miss this school,'
To the final, 'I don't want to leave.'
Every memory ingrained in my mind,
A smile, and a stray tear, missing the days sublime.

-

Still looking for myself in the sea of pretenses.

-

Let's just fall in love with our imperfections and allow humanity to bloom. For if man was to be perfect, he would have been God.

-

Happy New Year
365 days of a rollercoaster
Makes way to another.
As we hope this one is better...
All I want to say is...
Thank you for being here.
Being a help, and a bother,
For in your own twisted way,
You all made my year.
