Collab with Shruti.✨ Once upon a time,we were children with stars in our eyes,dreams so bright, they lit up the skies. We made plans on paper—promises bold,vowed to hold on,to never let go of what was told. But life moved fast,like rivers that flow,taking us to places—worlds we didn’t know. We held tight to dreams,though the paths weren’t clear,some we outgrew, some disappeared. The child within us watched,quiet and keen,reviewing our dreams, wondering where they’d been. A reflection of us from our past,the child is like those sunflowers—kept at home, Read more…

Dedicated to all aspirant students chasing their dreams. You feel alone sometimes. Everyone shines, their lives full of joys, But you? Your voice fades in their noise, In a world too loud for your thoughts, क्या तुम्हारी हर बात रह जायेगी बेमानी? You feel alone sometimes.“Work hard now, enjoy later,” they say, But who knows if you’ll live to see tomorrow?क्या भरोसा है जिंदगी का?Shouldn’t we live, not just survive? You feel alone sometimes. Everyone has their group, their space, But you? You never quite find your place.You wonder, “Won’t I ever fit in?” क्या तुम्हारे सपने कोई Read more…

This poem is about a girl’s emotions before her arranged marriage.(post-engagement and prior wedding). In a dance of tender hearts,So young, so frail.One loves deeply,The other’s love still to unveil. Her heart,A vibrant tapestry,Woven with love and loyalty. His heart,Seeking to date and go with the flow,No bonds to bind, no roots to sow. She threads him in a golden line,Hoping their futures will entwine. But his threads, a tangled skein,Not much affection held within. Empty texts, a hollow ring,Does his heart even sing? On quiet nights, her heart aches,Dreaming Read more…

Collab with Roshini, Literary Co-Capt.✨ Another occasion, the question arose,“How are you today?”The girl’s fake smile, it never shows,“I’m fine,” she says anyway. With a smile and wave, her eyes meet,Yet inside, there’s a weight, heavy and deep.She hides it well, this burden she bears,But inside, it’s crushing, too heavy to bear. Saying “I’m fine” is a constant state of drowningShe tries to keep her mouth closed until that very last momentIf she opens her mouth and lets the water in,She knows she won’t survive. So she keeps it closed, Read more…

Collab with Tejaswini✨ A world that sees her smiling grace,She hides the tears she can’t erase. A smiling mask, a masquerade so well played,Hides the void within, where emotions fade. Emotionally hollow, she bears the weight,Behind that mask, her heart’s true state. She laughs and plays her part so well,But inside, restrained by a lonely, silent spell. Incidents have etched her triviality deep,The scars of the past in her memories she keeps. A moment’s attention, she holds so dear,In that fleeting light, she finds some cheer. She tells herself, “I’m Read more…

When you don’t fit, when they divide,In a world where sameness they abide. Among familiar faces, I’m a bit unknown,Lost in a big crowd, feeling all alone. Within my weary soul, a sense of lack,Longing for acceptance, under their attack. My thoughts wander, they don’t align,A solitary path is what I must define. Uniqueness is at times vain,And society’s expectations cause me pain. Refusal’s cut runs deep and steep,Isolation’s wounds, secrets I keep. Whispers of my ideas, like the wind they fade,Dismissed, ignored, as if they betrayed. But deep inside, Read more…
