I pray not because I don't believe in myself. I pray because I know my limits. I pray not because I am a bubble of hope. I pray because I am uncomfortably practical. I pray not because I don't have friends. I pray because I know only humans. I pray not because I am afraid. [...]

Attraction
Sometimes, attraction happens Through the eyes. That tiny twinkle In a sea of green. That searing spark In a bed of charcoal. Sometimes, attraction happens Through the voice. That rough undertone In a baritone. That velvety texture In a soft sound. Sometimes, attraction happens Through a laugh. That child-like candour In a heartfelt expression. That [...]
Person I Should Be
Oh! That is how I should carry myself. That is the person I should be! But then, if I too am So prim and propah, Then who will add The clumsy genuine touch? Oh! That is how I should dress. That is the person I should be! But then, if I too Dress only in [...]
Home is Where the Heart is
Home. Something yet everything. One place yet many meanings. Sometimes, near. Other times, so far. Yet, it can be felt. A place of protection. A realm of freedom. Somewhere we can be ourselves.

Yes, the breath of life has left them. They are no longer alive like us. But they continue to encourage us to really live. For they are not dead, Till we let them be. Yes, their bodies have decayed. They can no longer touch us. But they continue to touch our lives. For they are [...]
Wish I Knew
I wish I knew How to be be smart. How to gauge people From inside out, Rather than outside in. I wish I knew Not to waste a moment Whenever it came by With someone, Than hoping it was someone else. I wish I knew When to say things That I so badly wanted to, [...]
Where’s Your Sparkle?
Beautiful diamonds we all are, Having the power To amaze and cheer. But wait! How to do it with a sad face? So tell me, where's your sparkle? Strong diamonds we all are, Unbreakable under pressure, Inspiring with our struggle. But wait! How to do it with a tear? So tell me, where's your sparkle? [...]
Wet Soil’s Smell
The rain drops fall Slowly at first, As if afraid to touch the earth, As if scared of its response. One by one, They gauge its warmth, As if to know if it is ready, As if to know how hard to fall. The rain picks up speed, More confident with every new moment, As [...]
