I am the power, who can consolidate the scattered chunks and build a life; I am the power, who can usher glee in melancholy; I am the power, who can dare to reach the zenith from the darkest depth; I am the power, who can wear a calm demeanour while contesting the whirlpool of ordeals; […]
Going to the bed, With the hope of a brand new day, Promising to start afresh, Without knowing what the life has to say. Building castles, booking travels, With the hope of reaping the benefits, With the hope of rejoicing the places, Savouring without bothering, A U-turn life may be offering. Holding the egg for […]
The sun had risen and a new day had just begun. School days had just become past and it was time to step in the college, New faces, from different places what a collection it was, Excited, expectant, and zealously everyone looked forward; The years ahead were unknown, mysterious and surprising. We got bored, irritated, frustrated with […]
There is danger out there, my love You’re safe in here. Numerous times a day did I hear, These lines from my mother dear. Unaware what she meant exactly, I often sulked dejectedly. The house and the square courtyard, Was all that I had to myself under everyone’s surveillant guard. I loved my […]
The day I was born you called me princess, You laughed when I cooed, you jumped to see me stand, You held my hand when I fell and fell, You were my first teacher and saw me through good and bad. You saw me grew, but to you, I am always tender, You cried for […]
Yes, I’m dark and skinny! What’s wrong? Am I in the place of God that I will change the colour of my skin and the structure of my body! Recently, my cab driver shares with me his problem. Though he is a married young man having a kid yet his struggle is “Body Shamming”! Throughout […]
Beautiful, glowing faces everywhere I see, Spotless, flawless angelic mien adorned with glee. I wonder what are they trying to conceal, what may come out when this mask they peel. I wonder what brutal flaws they think trying to hide, with what pain and agony they hopelessly abide. I wonder why the prejudice about their […]
I look at myself in the mirror and more often than not I don’t like what I see there. ‘God couldn’t my hair be a bit more straighter..’ ‘Oh, why do I have this big nose? Can’t I make it a bit sharper?’ ‘Oh my… The greys are visible again.. Need to hide them.’ ‘This […]
“Do you really have to eat cheese? Don’t you see how much you are bulging from your hips?” Shanaya was too tired of listening to this. Sometimes her boyfriend would say something about her diet and other times one of her friends or sisters would make her realize how fat she has become since last […]
What I look like, doesn’t define who I am. Or does it? Sadly, it does – many a time. World history puts before us vivid accounts of racism and apartheid – all because of skin colour. Blacks vs. Whites! Thanks to valiant activists and sensible people at the helm of political affairs a few decades […]
