It\’s just a drizzleof ideasI try to catch the dropsand hold themGentle, refreshing…But rain gets heavierand lashes all over;I stand numbTo its increasing ferocityGetting joyfully drenchedIt\’s pouringThe thoughts come downAnd collect in small puddlesThe child in meawakens gleefully…I want to jump in themAnd play…Make paper boats,of my imaginationAnd see them float,in these thought puddles….

Five inch window to nowhere….
#smartphoneaddiction Oh you five inch window,Smart phone thy name;Post your insidious arrival,World will never be the same.. In the beginning you are an enigma,Like a harmless placebo pill;Until this realization dawnsThat you are a disease that can kill… Slowly creeping through my life and time,You possess my very soul…Harnessing my weak will,And utter lack of…
Judge me not…
I love the colour blue because it reminds me of the sky; Mama says don\’t play with boys I wonder why?! Dolls or dolling up doesn\’t interest me, I love playing in the rain wild and free.. Cropped hair does not a rebel make, I can\’t change my skin colour for your sake.. Flaunting my…
First Monsoon..
This arid desert, my heart.. waits for its monsoon; For those first few drops,of sweet nectar… For those shy glances, stolen kisses,friendly banter, silly dances.. Holding hands in small moments that hold on to you till eternity… For that first thunderstorm of unhindered passion.. Those magical touches ,crazy heartbeats..warm embraces, sweet kisses.. That feeling of yearning…

The last puff..
I overcame your evil with my good, Narrowly escaping my grave, I shakily stood… You lured me in my teenage; For, I wanted to look “cool” in college.. I puffed you in every cranny and nook, Until like a furious chimney I began to look; My fetish turned into addiction full blown, Of self-destruction, the…
