The kingdom of hopes Was unlike any of the places Where you or I have ever been. It was where dreams were sold In exchange of hopes. The seller was the king of the land And the buyer was a little girl. Alas, the king soon ran out of dreams to sell. The pristine clouds… Continue reading The Kingdom of Hopes
The Other Woman
You are the other woman In my man's life. And yet, I don't find it strange To love you. Nor does my heart burn With agony To accept you As my man’s new muse. It is strange That we are pretty amicable And aren't ruffled by each other’s presence In the same room, Sometimes, on… Continue reading The Other Woman
Date A Girl Who Loves Solitude
Date a girl who loves solitude. Yes, you heard it right! I am asking you to date a girl who loves to spend more time with herself than with her friends and acquaintances. Before you ask me the oh-so-obvious question that how do you date someone who likes to be alone, let me tell you… Continue reading Date A Girl Who Loves Solitude
The Fruitcake Special
After a long spell of drought, I thought of reviving my dying blog with some content, even though it was written like three years ago! This is the first ever script that I wrote (The second ever can be found here).

Summer of 2013: Chennai to Bengaluru
When my current Lit Sec of Sharav mailed me a few days ago, asking me to contribute to an in house hostel newsletter, I couldn't help but to get out of my hate-to-type stance and jam down some 500 odd words about my last summer.

I will try to locate the script if people don't trash this piece :P) Scene 1 (Sohini is sitting at her study table and scratching something in a sheet… Continue reading A Writer’s Dilemma
The Art of Gifting
The title is pretty misleading since this isn’t any kind of a discourse on how to go about choosing a gift for someone for an occasion. In fact, I am not interested in debating whether it is important and mandatory or not to give something physical and solid to express your best wishes or convey… Continue reading The Art of Gifting
A Little More of Sugar, A Little Less of Salt
Entry for Reflections-Dhruva Y.E.S. Poetry Writing Competition, 2012. The theme was 'Good and Bad Habits: How do they affect a student?' Won a consolation prize for the same. You stand aloof At the juncture of adolescence And stare ahead, At the two little shops a few meters away. One selling pudding and honey dipped toffee;… Continue reading A Little More of Sugar, A Little Less of Salt
Miss Lonely’s Lonesome Scribbles
The wooden door swings open To a sight of two neatly kept empty beds While the third one is subjected To an unkind treatment As you unceremoniously dump your things on it. Headphones set, You put on your favorite song On a repeat And croon in soft whispers, Remebering those times When you and your… Continue reading Miss Lonely’s Lonesome Scribbles
