The Pearl, The Peril and The Pain

The Earth looks like an ocean pearl, somewhere in space exhibiting the shade of indigo with hints of greenish hues. From here, it is distant but it gets closer and larger by the minute. The field of view of my spaceship that showed a sphere soon turns to a crescent-shaped earth, now radiating white clouds...

Possibilities

There are a lot of unsaid things in my head than in my real life. I simply refuse to speak up for the sheer simplicity of having another opinion out there and more opinions around it then. Silence is not the ideal solution given that the fact of the matter is, not always being silent...

The lit Room

I have been to a lot of parties… None of them have really encompassed me or accepted me. Given that I don’t dance but I really enjoy the music. I really enjoy discussing life at length, the tragedies, and the comedies of day-to-day life. Sadly, none understands these nuances of our shrill lives and who...

Stuck

I turn to you at times of peril,When my thoughts are hazy,Crafting words, mimicking thought's,Creating no sense and often sounding crazy.. It might clear my mind’s fog,It might allow me to make sense,Sense of my social shortcomings,Or just be an excuse to ease my tense.. Writing rhymes , expressing huesAs a way to clear my...

Shades of GIM

A sky soo blue but clouded,Just like a GIMITE’s persona ,Full of energy yet soo calm and compounded.. A sky soo yellow and bright,Just like GIMITE’s passion,Which even in face of assignment’s remains full of light..

In a heartbeat

In the next 10 minutes, exactly after 2 metro stations, I will get down at my destination. As soon as I get off the metro, I would stumble into a girl carrying the book “Burning the Midnight Oil”. The book will fall on the ground and I would recollect it. While giving it back to...

How the idea of nihilism is born

As I sit down in the middle of the night, wanting to tell you how I feel, I really can't. You won't really understand how nihilism feels like and I am not really the best person to explain how it feels. However, I can tell you how it incorporates in my mind; every now &...

The rush

The red bar on my digi watch shows 18:48,My hands have the dust from the shoelaces.I keep thinking about it will get dark and I will be late,I must rush; I must run! The rush in my veins,Tells me to go beyond,go above and go faster!However the steps; the stride is same, so are the...

The Dark Horse of Any Good Investment

Now that the dust has settled from a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and we are slowly struggling to turn to a new leaf amidst global economic trouble, the highest inflation figures, and a literal war. It can be very overwhelming to manage your finances amidst all the volatile chaos. But What if I told you, there is...

Happy Birthday!

I peep out of the window as much as I can, the grill of the window is wet with rain droplets. The drops touch my nose and almost make me sneeze. The sun is alternating between the dark clouds and the train is alternating between stations and bridges. This makes the sunlight and shadows both...
