It’s the most common figment of imagination … Continue reading 90s Kids-Ghost Stories

– Aparna Chatterjee Staring outside the window,Feeling the wind as it blows,The aroma of our favorite pizza house fills up my nose.My mind goes to the time before we drifted apart,Old triggers die hard. An inquisitive stare, a curious look,I could tell if you liked something or were shaken.Flabbergasted how things fell apart,Old triggers die hard. Was it a word or a phrase you used?I … Continue reading Old triggers die hard.
– Aparna Chatterjee As we laugh and cry,The seconds pass by.The idiocy in holding on,Waits for the eyes to get dry.They may be numb at night,The silence of winter nights sends chills down your spine.Tik-Tok, Tik-Tok, the clock never sleeps tight. Taking one step at a time,Be it a success you own now,Or a failure in which you thrived.Waiting for the world to halt for … Continue reading Tik-Tok
– Aparna Chatterjee It’s okay not to care,It’s okay if you can no longer bear it,It’s okay to feel this void between you and yourself.If ignorance can put you at ease,It’s okay to deny reality. It’s okay if you can’t comprehend,What is happening and this weird thing called feeling?It’s okay if daily tasks seem like a mountain you’re climbing.Feel pity for those who say, “Just … Continue reading Denial of the Reality

Listening to the birds chirping, the … Continue reading Ruskin Bond-the Writer from the Hills
– Satyakam Ray I want my beacon; I want my beacon, Lost in the crowd without any direction. People are running at a maddening speed, Nobody feels relaxed as a need. “I have no time” being the mantra, No leisure to watch a rainbow or spectra. Racing in the herd to get approval from cynics, “Money” is the primary success metric. Education, expectations, and … Continue reading Lost in the crowd
– Satyakam Ray Flickering lights scattered,On the way home,illuminating the dark path,the soul being cleansed. A plethora of words, emotions,stuck in the heart,helpless rants, dwindling reflections,want a way out. It feels secluded on an island,among blue vastness,choked heart with stoic silence,the meandering soul being restless. Sitting on the balcony,watching the crowd go north,muted aspirations, feeling numb,The zeal has gone south. A blank piece of … Continue reading Ink went dry
