One Year Today
A year ago, on this very day,
I stepped in—quiet, unsure,
With nerves wrapped tightly in silence,
And thoughts louder than words.
Among unfamiliar faces, I stood alone,
Stumbling through beginnings,
Learning through every fall,
As new duties danced above like shadows.
There were days of doubt,
Moments tangled in misunderstandings,
Fights that echoed louder than intent
—Yet every crack let in light.
In the middle of mess and meaning,
I found laughter, shared glances,
Support that came unspoken,
And a bond that needed no name.
This isn't just a place I work—
It’s a place that saw me grow.
We call it a team,
But in every sense, it became a family.

-

"Efforts for me. Efforts by me.
That's the new motto of my life."

-

Many couples
Went to dwell in nature’s calm,
In Pahalgam, to celebrate love—
To make memories that would last a lifetime.
But only the women returned,
Carrying a nightmare instead of joy.
Mock drills danced over distant hills,
As if war was waiting to begin.
Cities stood still—no peace, no thrill—
And somehow, the world kept moving.
Before we could heal,
Our hearts were shattered again—
A plane crash pierced the sky.
Families, full of dreams,
Now live only in memories.
Seeing them again...
Is just a dream.

-

हर कोई अपनी कहानी छुपा रहा है,
गौर से देखो आँखों में —
वहाँ एक दर्द है,
जो आँसू बनकर छलक रहा है।

-

Shiv for his Shakti,
Like Sita through fire for Ram,
With a heart full of devotion,
And a soul steeped in faith.
But I was blind...
You were never the light.
You were Lucifer—
The fallen flame,
Born not for love,
But to burn it.

-

Just a Girl
I’m just a girl with tangled dreams,
Caught in thoughts and silent screams.
I build a world inside my head,
Where kindness lives and hate is dead.
No evil there, no wicked fate,
Just open hearts that never hate.
No sins to hide, no masks to wear,
Only truth and love to share.
I see the good in every face,
Even when it’s out of place.
I trust too fast, ignore the lies,
Fall for souls behind disguise.
But still I walk, in hope, in grace—
Believing light can fill this place.
Even if my heart breaks through,
Like an old, forgotten, torn-out shoe.

-

ख़ामोशी, आजकल बहुत बातें करती है...
तेरे जाने के बाद,
दीवारों से भी साज़िशें सुनाई देती हैं।

डर था तुझे खोने का—
सो, खुद को तुझमें रख दिया था कहीं।
अब डर भी चला गया है…
और तू भी।

बस कुछ अधूरी साँसें हैं,
जो तेरे नाम पर ठहरी हैं।
बाक़ी सब — ख़ामोश है।

-

They say one day, he'll see it clear—
The love I gave, so true, sincere.
They claim he'll ache for what he lost,
And count the gain not worth the cost.

They say regret will cloud his skies,
He'll search for me in others' eyes.
They swear his heart will one day break,
For every smile he chose to fake.

But still I wonder, through the pain,
Will he feel loss? Will he feel shame?
Will echoes of my quiet care
Ever haunt him, anywhere?

Or was I just a passing flame,
Too soft to ever leave a name?

-

Just one word: Yes.
Three simple letters,
Yet they carry the weight of change.

This small word could shift everything—
Things might fall apart,
Or maybe… finally fall into place.

It’s hard to tell.
A dilemma,
Like to be or not to be,
Tangled in the threads of my own thoughts,
Suspended in silence,
Lying restless in my own bed.

I’m scared to say yes.

"By the end of May, I aim to find peace within myself—no more drama, no more stress. If distance brings you happiness, then consider me gone. From now on, I choose myself."
