Gemstones

Once upon a timeI was the star of their eyes, in my nascent stage. Praised by them in my golden phaseI was getting away with crimesNo one held me for my mistakesSo, I sank till my feet touched the coreThere was no one to tear, so I tore myself insteadTill everyone loathes me for the… Continue reading

“Do Something!! “

An Indian Wife

It makes me cryWhen they say I’m made for loveTo give to others, who might not give backBut that’s fineHow bad it could be?To be wedded but not lovedNot as bad as loved, but not wedded You can work, go out, win prizes and stand for rightsBut please come back at 7To cook dinner and… Continue reading

All truths don’t lie

Losing is a lesson unless it’s a repeated affairCheaters are masters because world isn’t fairComfort is cozy till it doesn’t let you growI forgot how to move from this floorStalkers look shiny in books she readsReal- world, dial 100, it’s not what you think Waking up was easy when I used to be youngGrowing up… Continue reading

The Golden Girl

Three sisters, you’re the middle one Always getting burnt and owning mediocre titles You needed love and sympathy, and I had no friends to give some Blame it on learning kindness at 16 I sat beside you and asked for the notes I didn’t want You looked blue but you carried golden Difficult to reach with my faith already brokenBlunders of… Continue reading

Folklore of the “weak”

Pride of position blinds the rationalityEgo of power blackout the truthThe ethics are asked to jump out of the windowBecause it’s time for bad guys to enjoy the ruth.

Unfinished Expedition of Feminism

When I was a kid, I believed that feminism is about women getting the education and being empowered. In simple terms, I thought it was equivalent to #GirlPower. After a few years, I realized that turning away from normalized patriarchal chores in our mundane life is also included in feminism. The same learning was followed… Continue reading
