How will you ever know what could have been if we never gave it a chance? We can imagine all we want but never really know for sure. There will always be a teeny tiny possibility of the opposite kind. Yes, imagination is a good thing to have. Indeed, great. But give it a rest [...]

To They Who Say We Are Not Enough
We try, they dissuade us. We try harder, they say we are just being silly. We give it our all, they say we should stop wasting our time because we are simply "not good enough." My question is that should we even try to explain to these "experts" how wrong they are or not. As [...]
Compliment or Not
"Am I supposed to take it as a compliment? Or not?" Sometimes said aloud, sometimes thought silently, the above line resonates with most of us. At times, people say such smartly-phrased things that we don't really know what to make of them. If they were positive or negative remains unclear. Worse still, there are times [...]
A World Free of Guilt
Don't you wish if the world we live in could just let us live & not throw on us the heavy weight of guilt of so many kinds? Well, I certainly do! Come on, think of it. There are so, so many types of things that all of us would go ahead and accomplish, if [...]
The Right Time
It is said that there is a right time for everything. So exactly when is it? When is the right time to get married? When is the right time to have a baby? When is the right time to move in or move out? When is the right time to quit? When is the right [...]

When you feel absolutely empty inside. When you no longer care. But till there is even one tiny part [...]
Time Will Tell: Part 2
Was I dreaming with open eyes? Was I living in my own version of reality? Was I seeking solace in something that wasn't even there? Was it all my mistake? Time will tell. Did I squander my sleep on you? Did I waste my tears on you? Did I not live enough in my present [...]
You Know When You Know
You know when you know, But you refuse to accept. You know when you know, But you keep looking on. You know when you know, But you make such a fuss. You know when you know, But you wallow in self-pity. You know when you know, But you choose to ignore.
Time Will Tell
Were we right? Or were we wrong? Was something really there? Or was it long gone? Time will tell. Did we put in too much? Or did we not do enough? Did we wish too much? Or did we not even really dream? Time will tell. Will it happen ever again? Or was last time [...]
