Do you know why we feel embarrassed? It's because we weigh someone else's opinion more than our own. We acknowledge that they know it better than us. We submit to them. Should we? I spent a large part of my life worrying about what others think of me. Maybe they did think those very things [...]

Why We Write
Why do we write? Is it for fame or money or just the love of it? If you are a voracious reader, then ten lines down anyone's work and you can easily guess the aim behind the writing. But frankly, does the why even matter? If you ask me, I would say no. The reason [...]
Benefit of Doubt
Maybe, you will. Maybe, you won't. But till when do you want me To give you the benefit of doubt? Maybe, you are trying. Maybe, you are not. But till when do you want me To hang by around hoping? Maybe, your every word is true. Maybe, it's all a big lie. But till when [...]
Faith like Daenerys’
I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I have been chained and betrayed. Raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any god. [...]

Truth be told, no family is perfect. Every member has their own eccentricities and because the others have to live with those for a very large part of their lives, it drives them crazy like no other. There is always so much to complain about. There are always those loud wishes of what they want [...]
The Moon
That big white ball In the night sky Takes me by surprise Every single time. It makes me feel So small and vulnerable, Even though it is So very far. That proud luminance In the midst of utter darkness Can stump my pride Like a paper crumpled. A strange symbol Of romance and tranquillity, It [...]
So, Anything?
Recently, a question was thrown open to WordPress bloggers as to what they would do if anything was possible. It got such an overwhelming response that a few days later, it was asked again. Even I had put out my views in the form of my post A World Free of Guilt But now when I [...]
Like My Mother
You are my friend, Not my mother. But why is it that so often You remind me of her? You are my age, Not my mother's. But why do your advices Seem like those from her? You are the one I tell What I definitely can't to my mother. But why is your being fine [...]
