This is an exodus. We're all displaced. Imagine the migration. We should be on the news for the chaos we harbour within us tonight. We're scrambling to gather our belongings, not those that we had scattered in our rooms, but those that others had adorned their walls with. Yes, those are the real treasures. The ones I had saved on my shelf for nights like these. And I thought I had no material desires. I do. Damn me, I do. I'm greedy for the fortune that we stand to lose in this moment. Tell me what land, what ocean, or if even the sky could be my refuge the way this home has been my haven. I don't need to walk the distance to know, I'm still packing and I already know. We're stranded for evermore. For now, together, we stand alone.

My sister recently got her lower tooth extracted and well, let's just say she could do a lot better without me around her 24/7.


Swipe to know why >>— % &Me: Bro, don't apply for a job now, okay?
Sis: Uhh...why?
Me: 'Cuz you won't be able to explain THE GAP.— % &Me: Yo, bro!
Sis: Yeah?
Me: You still like desserts?
Sis: Yes?
Me: Oh, I just thought you lost your SWEET TOOTH!— % &Me: Bro, does tooth extraction make you dumb?
Sis: Very funny! It was NOT my wisdom tooth, you idiot.
Me: Yeah, exactly. There's no explanation for your dumbness.
— % &Me: Bro, I've got a new nickname for you.
Sis: What!?
Me: Toothless.
Sis: Alright, that's it. You're dead.
Me: See? You spit fire when you open your mouth too!— % &Me: Hey bro!
Sis: Sindhu! Enough now!
Me: Okay okay, chill out! I was just asking if you'd like to watch a movie together?
Sis: Ugh, fine, which one?
Me: Oh, how about 'EXTRACTION'?— % &Me: Bro, you know why your tooth left?
Sis: *deep defeated sigh* Why, Sindhu? PLEASE, tell me WHY!
Me: 'Cuz it was sensitive, bro.— % &Me: Hey bro!
Sis: What. What! What!?
Me: Geez, alright. I'll leave you alone.
Sis: Finally!
Me: I get it, you need MORE SPACE.— % &

If I weren't familiar with my name on your lips,
I would've dismissed it as a gust of wind.
A confession so weak, I had to
ask your eyes to blink once
if it was love and twice if it was

love.— % &Too many summers we've spent together.
Your impish eyes have now learnt to lie. So I
pressed my ears against your innocent heart,
silly thing betrayed you so fast,
I could practically hear it somersault.— % &The phantom of your heart
still beats against my palm,
so I can yet ignore its ringing silence
but your barren eyes are now too real to lie.
Blink, my love, blink. Won't you?
