The Kingdom of Hopes

January 23, 2015 Sohini Sarkar

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

October 20, 2014 Sohini Sarkar

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

June 22, 2014 Sohini Sarkar

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

February 6, 2014 Sohini Sarkar

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). Though it is adapted from one of my favourite short stories, The Fruitcake Special… Continue reading The Fruitcake Special

Summer of 2013: Chennai to Bengaluru

August 29, 2013 Sohini Sarkar

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. One, because I like my Lit Sec a lot so… Continue reading Summer of 2013: Chennai to Bengaluru

April 27, 2013 Sohini Sarkar

My second attempt at script writing for my Creative Writing Class Presentation. (The first one was for Inter Hostel Short Film Making in my second year.

The Art of Gifting

March 4, 2013 Sohini Sarkar

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

September 24, 2012 Sohini Sarkar

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

May 29, 2012 Sohini Sarkar

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
