Its aches work hard, for a long, 24×7. These aches, they know no breaks, they need no off days, they can go at you, hour after hour, endlessly. Relentlessly. Just like the heart that they belong to. Just like the heart that they belong to, they do their job on and on […]
Trade-off
There was a decent enough clamour around him for a celebrity of his stature. It helped that he was all of tall, dark and handsome and that his white shirt has its two top buttons off. She must have been conspicuous by her simplicity at the glittering party. She was certainly not the kind who […]
मुलायम
सर्द मुलायम सी है ये तन्हाई, सिलवटें है सुलझ रही, सहलाता था जैसे छूना तेरा, माथे की शिकनों को हटाता हुआ, नर्म सी थी तेरी आवाज़ भी गहरी, हैं वैसी ही ख़ामोशियाँ ये सारी, ठहरी सी तेरी नज़र इन कन्धों पर, पिघलाता ग़म जो था लबों पर, मुलायम था जैसे तेरा […]
emotional mathematics
ten things to do today, one is done, ten things to set right, one is fixed. ten dresses you like, only one fits, ten dresses that fit, only one you can buy. a hundred people you meet, you click with one, a hundred you connect with, one grows on you, a hundred times […]

small and insignificant
Small. Insignificant. That is me. Why do I say that, when it’s all so known? I feel it more today. I feel it more now. No good reason for today or now, just you feel so once in a way. No larger purposes of adding meaning to the universe, or its existence. No aspirations of […]
