My life is a mess  I wanna confess Things are falling apart But still I stand straight In the middle of nowhere I see myself growing But is that the growth Or the sign of my falling? My knees are bruised  From all the praying  Words always goes in vain  People look at me  Li  Read More...

Belly Dance
By Mridula Singh in Poetry | Reads: 1,036 | Likes: 0
Title : Belly Dance  In the sweltering heat,this maid stands on my gate. She is clad in a soiled cotton dhoti, All the way from home for mere roti. Gone are the days she enticed me  by her parley, Now she has a ghastly look in the eyes. Uncertainty in them is darker than her dark circles.  Read More...

It drizzled today .. So with my pad and my pen  I scuttled to the balcony  To get my answers again ... I kept all my questions prepared  And all my complaints in line  Swiftly perched on the doorway chair  Hoping to get answered this time. .. Year back it came  When m  Read More...

Tranquility
By Nora Moktan in General Literary | Reads: 1,031 | Likes: 0
It’s one of those nights where I go to bed after a long day of write-ups, in the name of rest; I do not plan on falling asleep at once, I read this book I’ve been taking too long to finish, I look out of the window and star-gaze a little, my dog sleeps beside me. It’s cold and wind  Read More...

Magic

"Do you believe in magic?" My pal asked me.  I fell into a line of thoughts.  A mother's love is magic.  Finding solace in nature is magic.  Passing the exam just by studying the former  night is magic. For Potterheads, Hogwarts is magic.  For foodies, dessert is magic.  Read More...

it was a Thursday when he turned to me, as I laid out the paper plates for take-out dinner, and opened his mouth as if to speak, but didn’t.
