Boom……. it just happened out of the blue. I came back from a beautiful vacation on February 1st. I did hear the word Corona Virus and Covid in the news somewhere. I remember laughing to myself and saying that it’s just another flu outbreak. And of course I thought that living in a developed country […]
Darling Tara, The date of March 12, 2004 is forever etched in my heart. It was the day we all, as a family were awaiting your arrival. And there you arrived, with a bit of a huff and puff, scaring us all a bit. Your birth was celebrated by many, with lots of laughs and […]
I’m not supposed to want you; I’m not supposed to care, And yet spend my time dreaming Of all that we could share. I’m not supposed to think about you Or wonder where you’ve been But no matter how I fight it, Thoughts of you sneak in. I’m not supposed to ponder Where you are […]
Who am I, you ask?? I’m made from all the people I’ve met,known and encountered… And all the things that I’ve experienced and felt. The moments, the memories, all so entangled in my brain. Inside me…. I hold the laughter of my friends, The arguments with my parents and loved ones, The bickering of siblings. […]
Returning to india after many years has opened my eyes about the new cheap and easy mode of travel……Airplanes. Airports no longer seem to be places only frequented by people who can afford it all. They are rather more like a gathering of the masses. Very frankly speaking I did not find much difference […]

She said she was okay, and you believed her, Let me tell you what’s really wrong with her, She’s tired, that’s exactly what she is, tired, She’s tired of getting hurt, She’s of being let down, She’s of all the lies, She’s of holding it all in, She’s tired of feeling broken,damaged,worthless,never good enough She’s […]
The bus stopped,suddenly waking me up from my quick snooze. As usual the morning travellers got on. Right at the back there she was,holding tight the finger of her precious child. She came and sat on the empty spot across from me. I smiled at her, she just looked and didn’t return my smile. I […]
She had sent the message a few hours ago……why was it that her heart was pounding…..pounding so hard that she felt like it would just come out from her mouth. What was all the anxiety for? Just to hear from him?? But why? What did he even mean to her…..or did she even mean anything […]
No…..she wasn’t my mother. I probably don’t even have a appropriate and befitting name for her. Was she my friend, my buddy, my confidante, my soulmate,my mother, my aunt?? She was my mothers younger sister who I had always called Mausi…..a loving word in Hindi that literally means like a mother. Me and Meena Mausi […]
