Won the Battle

I’m gonna take every day I wake up breathing as a victory. I’m a frickin’ ticking time bomb, waiting for it to reach zero. I’m a thread strung too far too long, staring at its breaking point. I’m a meticulous magnanimous disaster just waiting to happen. I’m the impatient resident under, waiting for the other […]

The Red Glow-y Sign on the Door

For a person who has never been much satisfied with her life, I am somewhat of an expert on exit strategies. From carefully planned out ones to impulsive single blows, I try them all on a daily basis. Distaste with things, surroundings, people or situations; I have an approximate percentage calculated in mind the first […]

Transplant Rejects

I had my birthday in the immediate past, and a whirlwind of carpe diem just struck me in the face; not that it was for the first time, but this time, it was different. It felt like someone stronger inside me is lending a hand to the weaker, naive ‘me’ to just get out of […]

Picturesque Portals to Neverland

The years I pursued my higher studies were immensely disappointing rather unfulfilling for a creativity-monger like me.

Guardians in my Galaxy

Do you ever have that thing when you feel alright knowing someone exists beside you, no matter how worse you were without them or whether you are 24/7 friends with them or not? Well, I have been lucky enough to experience this strong veil of calm taking over me when I see some specific someones […]

Through the Looking Glass

I looked out through the window on my way to get my life together, suddenly someone from inside me said with quite a thud; “Your life is only gonna get harder, the faster you sync it in, the better”. I realized then and there that I had always been hoping the next day would be […]

Keepers of my life

One day, when I came home for the weekend, the hottest piece of news awaiting me was, ‘one of our friends is getting married!’. I wasn’t the least bit surprised because we all know it’s coming and most of us would just frighteningly be on alert like for the impending doom or a death row […]

Green Shoots in the land of the lost

Planting your feet firm on the ground is not always easy. When the sand under your feet sneaks away without giving you a second thought, you can’t do much of anything other than to sink an inch down.     Even though choosing to regain your wits or to barge straight into the black hole, […]
