Wonder
I often wonder What exactly it was That we shared, That we lived through. Was it just a phase That had to pass by? Or was it something more That we made to happen? When it was there, At times, it made no sense. At times, it was more Than all the sense in the [...]
Why Just One Day for Women?
Fine, birthdays and anniversaries I get. They mark another full year of an event. But how does one mark a woman's never-ending ordeals, passions and sacrifices? By a day?? Isn't it a bit like being unfair to someone through the year and then going and wishing them on their birthday? For oh, how grateful you [...]
Behind the Facade
I don't see a face. I see a facade. For that is all I am allowed to see. I don't see the real emotions. I see the practiced gestures. For that is all That comes across. I don't see the vulnerable heart. I see the calculative mind. For that is all That is expressed. I [...]
Would You Bet on Yourself?
We often complain that others, especially those we are close to, are not supportive enough for us. At times, we are plain mad about it. At other times, we are too hurt to say anything. But that is how "others" will always be! Either too busy or too difficult or too indifferent and so on. [...]

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
Our having faith Doesn't make anything easier. On the contrary, It makes everything crazier. We believe in stuff We can't see or touch. We give our time and thoughts To it a bit much. We hope, We yearn, We beg, Till we learn. Having faith Is a two-way street, Where our desires and hard work [...]
