We’re so far away from home. Why, then, does this feel like home? This distance between us is foreign. Why, then, does it feel so familiar? No one has been on this path before. Why, then, is it downtrodden? Our homes are a mess and so are our hearts. Why, then, are our thoughts so tidy? Our minds are a…
What’s true and what’s not?
You went from being the reason I smiled the moment I woke up in the morning to the reason I cry myself to sleep. From being the glint in my eyes to the void filled in them. From being the dimples in my smile to the wrinkles in my frown. You were a breath of fresh air in the stale…

Of boats and stars
‘No man is an island’ – John Donne It had been a long day and we had been away. The night was still young, our souls could be one like the poets say.We stood at the balcony, the air was cold. Almost as cold as the glare, the bus conductor gave me today when I held the queue for 9…

Well, I’m all for low cost, but does it really at least do the job? We’ll…
Saudade
I roam the deserted streets where we once spent happy times, With the echoes of our laughter to keep me company. And I’m reminded of the sparkles in your eyes that brightened the darkest of nights, When we sat by the waterfall as the world fell asleep, Making promises we could never keep. There’s a corner in my heart where…
IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF LOVE
This one is for my fellow dreamers, readers, dark academics, and lovers of love. (Recommended: put some classical music on, get yourself a cup of tea and enjoy! Wistfully looking out of a window will round out the effect perfectly.) Have you ever asked yourself questions you didn’t have answers to? Why does every single one of us chase love?…
Airpods Max – Max it out on this one!
Apple recently launched the Airpods Max, just around the end of the Year that we wish wasn’t – 2020. Well, you’ll be saying, it’s an Apple product and is great, but I say wait until you hear its price tag of a whopping $549, and in India 59,900 INR! At first, I was so incensed I just skipped them. But…
Ok, Boomer
Welcome to my guide on how to successfully deal with a boomer! First of all, how dare they place our whole generation under one stereotype? We have lived a very different life; we have been raised in the environment that their generation and the past ones have shed blood, sweat and tears to create. So yeah, we are grateful for…
