Mother,
I sometimes think about how I fell apart from you in all these years
That I have stories to tell my friends, my lover and even strangers
But I have nothing to tell you.
That as soon as I left your womb, I have just wanted, craved and desired
And never looked back ever since.
That I often gro Read More...

Unhe paane ke lie ab certificate lagte h
Poetry padne ke lie dictionary
Metro me map
Aur job application me inflated bio
Apne hi Padosi ki kahani janne ke lie news headline
Ghar ke lie deposit
Aur badhti khwahishon ke lie sukoon
Par hum bhi “ negotiate” krte h.
Thodi zindagi dekar
Tabi t Read More...

Take me there
Where clocks don't wind,
Where a man can't victor,
Where what stands up for me is more than my feet,
Where colours excite me,
Where cold gives me chills,
Where I feel more than my body,
Where breath is spring,
Where nothing exists.
Lord, Wherever you exist. Read More...

A monsoon wedding is finalised.
Your abundance & My parched eyes
On my doorstep
Right on time
This nature blooms like our guests have arrived
Under a windy Portico
For Our wedlock -My damp hands & your Ceaseless AYE.

Inside this stupid body
Lives a saint & a creep.
They say you need man and woman to complete,
But inside I have my own bickering couple, that never wants to cede.
Nobody inside is wiser,
There’s always boiling a civilwar with peace.
Well, the problem gets more miry with my two soldiers,
Th Read More...

From that rickety raggedy station with broken seats
Pavements stripped off any flesh of porch or even a patchy beginning
He’d hope on & Rush to ambulate every coach perennialy
Usurping eyes & nimble feet
Hawking Tea for 5 , Cheaper than the bundled waste in bins
Egged on
With eve Read More...

If this smell of soil, The known guest that knocks
After Rain drops , could be sent.
If this scent
Of chills , of my garden in backyard
After cold breeze touched my arms , could be sent.
If the view from my window
Of this chirpy soil
Pleased to meet a lover and showoff
The Swaying Read More...

This Time of Night,
When only my mobile screen shines bright.
When these eyes beg for sleep,
I keep them burning,
Gleaming in the artifical light
Wanting & Waiting to be told a Lie.
To be sold,
A goodnight. Read More...

Ab to maza aane laga h,
Depression ka naam deke Ghee aur cheese bhar bhar ke khaane ka
Badhti hui tummy ko cute kehke dinner ke bad meal plan kar paane ka
Legs fold karke, aimlessly laptop screen ke saamne ghanton mobile chalane ka
Aur news channel par depressing news sunte hue chips khaane ka
Koi c Read More...

It’s a dark, dark day.
And yet the sky has never been clearer
It’s a dark dark night
Yet the chill from the moon has never been fonder
I thank my neighbour, talk to my room mate, ask my maid to take rest and randomly help a stranger.
All in some selfishness.
I clean my room, make my lunc Read More...
