“The Prince’s Tale”

Quarantine 2020 was my forth time reading the Harry Potter series and it left me extremely raw after all the incessant sobbing. This time I relished laughter and pain in it and discovered how integral they are in shaping who we are as a person. Although the film series excels in bringing imagination to life …

On Cosmetic Procedures

I have been watching Tiffany Ferguson’s videos lately on Youtube and I have to admit the admiration I have gained for her in so short a time. True, I don’t agree with all of her points, but that’s exactly what she isn’t aiming to do; she is opening up topics and issues to allows people …

Radcliff Line

Street cats are bad lovers- All taking, no giving, Bestowed misgivings. Seeped in remorse, Doubt, denigration You make me hold onto the source, Even more pathetically than before. Self, my self, my only self! Rise and look beyond the cat Who twirls ’round your leg Incessantly But Intermittently. Who’s advising you to get a dog? …

Longings

I dreamt a dream In past immemorable, Of a past immemorable When I smiled. I, in the confines Of my school life, Seemed much content Than in this free world. I witnessed myself passing by; Smile up till my eyes, My body radiant with joy; Not momentary, Not evanescent; Grounded in the ecstasy Of my …

Epiphany

Refused love Created broken friendships; But that’s no causation (Just a catchy entry point.) The pain my refusal generated Came back to me today- World-shattering. Excruciating. Pain that lasts In realisation. Growing up makes you forget how to cry- To cry is to let go and understand But we just curl up and sob lest …

Ruminations II

Difficult marriages Produce broken offsprings. Callousness shall either Seep through the tree Or push the branches To fall far away. How unfound an assumption By bickering partners That the children will Play along and not suffer… Either be authoritarian Or cent percent transparent. This fence-sitting strategy In the absence of communication Doesn’t bode well for …

Ruminations

Marriages don’t scare me They fill me with weariness. Dread is from the unknown And I know these too well. What uninspired duty so inspirational It masks the indifferent two in one? People prophesize heartily- “Daughters search fathers in lovers” I shall decidedly not! I might not escape Falling in love, Being a mother, wife, …

To Eunice

I too had One of Eunice’s cats. Its first vision Kicked me to a fall. I weaved elaborate Stories around us- Of my love My affection My care Its purrfection. Its first disappearance Kicked me into rage- I turned into stone Lost love in a haze. It took me an year To accept it in …

Untitled

A frosty fall apart Reveals true colors With each semester depart. And by default I’m deserted, Kept at a considerable distance. Who wants to board a ship loaded With temper, intensity and ever-caution When a bout of tears could milk A pitiful entire ocean. Old alliances reawaken, in such times impermanent. Will they sustain and …

Open Letter

Dear David Koepp, Alvin Sargent, Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi, “It’s amazing, you know, how complicated a thing, like being someplace at 8 O clock, becomes.” The scripts made through your awesome efforts takes the Spider-man trilogy (2002-07) beyond its superhero element to serve as a reminder of our own great responsibility of what we …
