Building trust is like knitting a sweater, it takes time.

You have a heart of an ocean, so big and deep. I am merely a river, looking to empty myself into you and call it a home.

THE SONG OF DESPAIR

Between my body and soul, there is a wide separation. My mind has become an asylum for criminal thoughts. It hatches inhuman revenge. Even the blood that runs between the skin and meat of my body is of monster's. This society, with its dispiriting cruelty, has impregnated my personality with the traits of a merciless predator. shouldn't I prowl on my enemies equivalently and poetically?

I always wanted to and want to be a writer. I thought writing is the safest profession. But then the words are being weaponized by this country's stateman. Any log of a sentence I write is good enough to label it as seditious and put me behind the bars. The corrupt constable in a fit of violent jealousy tells me to not act too smart otherwise, he will make me speak in Marathi.

In the wake of my country's misery,
I, Krishna, dance in misery too.

Koi toh ho jo hamara bhi humsafar ban sake,

khaali kabse padha hai , koi hamare bhi haath mein apna haath de sake.

मोमबत्ती लेकर चलने से कुछ नहीं होगा ,
खुद आग बनना पड़ेगा लड़कियों !

What one does when parents cry? Not being able to eat and speak, papa often breaks down into tears. Today, he was crying like a child. He has gone thin due to cancer-induced weight loss. Frustration and anger are in his face. He scribbles to say, he is worried about parental responsibility. He wants to go to work. but can't until he recovers completely. He writes, because of me, you lost your cycle. Take money from me and buy a new one.  It's been two months since the surgery. Now he is on radiation therapy for a month. After radiation, chemo might be required. I am not sure.  I still couldn't believe whatever happened in the last five months.

When the time comes for voting, we get dementia. We forget rape, communal violence, police brutality... and vote for the same person.

India is and has always been suffering from a disease called casteism.

there is no point of having a soft heart.
