What if I Could…
What if I could live a dream,And not forget her eerie scream.What if I could laugh with joy,And not forget his wicked ploy.What if I could be immersed in solitude,And not forget the rattling feud.What if I could play in the sunshine,And not forget the dank confine.What if I could grin at a butterfly, And … Continue reading What if I Could…
I Can See…
I can see the world in constant strife,I can see the pain of a lonely bride,I can see the hate in a trusted friend,I can see the fear in a growing trend.I can hear the roaring cries for change,I can hear the grumbling in exchange,I can hear the whimpers of distress,I can hear the confusion … Continue reading I Can See…
A World Too Small
She screamed. He held tighter. Footsteps approached. They swung into shadows. Raavir was furious. Raavir was after them. He would break their marriage. He would kill them first.

A Strange Tale
I don’t know when,I don’t know how,It’s a strange tale,A curious case.The story of my life.The story of my love.I was a reticent child,Obedient and quiet,In kindergarten I played,With snakes on my head,An unforgettable memory,Of innocence and naivety. In school I read, and read galore,Stories of strife and love reunited.Inspired I wrote tirelessly,From the heart, … Continue reading A Strange Tale
Wednesday Morning
The day crawls,The afternoon stalls,The silence haunts,The stillness warns. A distant rumbling,A flash of lighting,Storm clouds roll,Darkness descends.My heart leaps,A sigh escapes,The tingling begins,A smile threatens. Thundering roars,Bursts of light,Doors crash,Windows rattle.Trees sway, Winds growl,A loud clap,Blessings pour.My nose savours,The earthly whiff,Warmth seeps in,The coffee brews.Sheets of water,Pelting the roofs,Scurrying feet,Huddling bodies. Fuzzy panes,Glistening chains,Temptation … Continue reading Wednesday Morning

Well, such was the case. Hence my excitement! And to add the cherry on the icing, it was to … Continue reading The Mughal Raj!
A Whole New World
A year ago, I was lucky to travel to a new country and thus a whole new world. It was my very first entry into picture perfect sceneries. A dream come true, I spent most of my free time, and not so free time, clicking away on my camera. Cape Town, South Africa, was until … Continue reading A Whole New World
