RAW – Beast in Hindi is a latest South Indian dubbed movie. There was a time I used to love dubbed movies, the evenings spent watching innumerable movies on Set Max, the fun fights, the comic timing was quite fun. But now, post Bahubali, its usually a big budget movie with large VFX effects and […]
Book Review : Thanks for the Memories
Got to read something after a very long time. As soon as i saw a copy of Cecelia Ahern’s “Thanks for the Memories” on my cousin’s bookstand, i had to pick it up and finish it. But, this has been the longest I have taken to complete a novel. Almost 3 weeks. The reason is […]
Saranghae : I love you (Korean)
Mon Amour, today I walk with thee,Reminiscing our first cup of coffee,My heart flutters as our hands slightly brush,Your pink countenance displays a slight blush.Lavender curls highlight the beauty of your face,Your fragrance incites me to take you into embrace.As I stare into the depth of your eyes,I become certain where my happiness lies.Away from […]
You
The mirror smiled as I was enjoying the view,I ‘m nobody! Who are you? Perhaps someone I once knew?Yes I am the little girl inside you. Who dazzled before up she grew.Bright with confidence that was you. Now, recollect the goals that together we drew,And break the shackles binding you. Change the being that’s dull […]
Just a piece of clothing
A stole, a dupatta, an odhani, a shawl,it’s upto you, what you want to call.I have different names and different sizes,But I come to use as and when the need arises.Mommy uses me to wipe away her child’s tears,Dadi pulls me over her head when she says her prayers.Didi flaunts my vivid colors while covering […]
Oh those long vacations!
Lovely were the days when we had Summer vacations.Playing all day with cousins or visiting beautiful locations.Time was spent innovatively making weird creations.Involving interesting activities, not just screens for our recreations.The moments spent with loved ones strengthened our relations.Grandma’s night time tales shaped my life’s foundation.Today children utilize holidays to explore different vocations,Though it might […]
::Regret::
Remorse is an inevitable part of life,To revist past & avoid the strife,Could aid to eliminate a void,As no one is perpetually overjoyed. When I go back, I will allow myself,To explore all options & believe in self,To fall in love or kindle an inner spark,To not be afraid of losing or to leave a […]
The ‘Holi’day
She visits at Holi every year,Up above the beautiful sky is clear,My heart might find it queer,Missing a beat as she approaches near,Enthralled by the the sight of my dear,Ready to get coloured as her peer. My first Acrostic poem
::Heart vs Mind::
Somewhere in the corner of my heart,there is a longing to get free.Free from the shackles that Ihave bound myself in.No one stops me from flying up in the sky,to break the manacles of my thoughtsand run away into the trance,which though could seem beyond my reach,but is my own mind’s sapling.It is the only […]
::Jealousy Jeopardizes::
As you smile & wave back at meClutching the hand of my sworn enemyI wonder what was the keyTo our happiness that I couldn’t seeWhen we were close & there was no she,who caused such pain & lead to my jealousy.
::Beautiful Colors::
Each tint & shade speaks for itselfLightness & Darkness alters what the color tells.So a few words on the hues & their impels. Red is a color of energy & passion.Pink denotes love & compassion.Marroon shows power & resolution. Yellow would stand for a bright mentality.Cream oozes calmness & serenity.Mustard mutters creativity & diversity. Blue […]
The drizzle
Pitter patter on the glass,Can’t I laze away in the grass?Sirimiri brings along sweet misty air,Love the way dew drops adorn my hair.The light drizzle induce lots of joy,Unlike the heavy rains which sometimes annoy.I walk in solitude as the sky goes rimjhim,The tranquility feels like being in a dream. Writing prompt was Sirimiri (spanish) […]
::Stuff I can’t depart from::
Before my soul leaves my cadaver,Few precious stuff I want to gather, And take with me my dear treasure,To soothe the pain, to get pleasure. The enchanting laughter of my child,The silent noise of the dangerous wild,The inspiring words by my mother,The affection shared with my father,The echoing applause after my show.The varied emotions I […]
::My Lunar Obsession::
Beauty & Serenity in every form of thee,I get very thrilled whenever thou I see. Either waning or waxing, you rotate with glee,Bringing tides & ebbs effortlessly in the sea. Waxing crescent provides hope even if new moon is gloomy,First quarter & Waxing Gibbous are filled with energy. Full moon is attainment & hence pretty […]
My favorite things
Prattle & laughter that echo the gathering,Heartfelt dancing and melody filled singing,Listening to grandma’s wonderful stories of kings,These are the few of my favorite things. Rom-coms & mysteries on television screen,Reading a book lying in the luscious green,Eating to heart’s content subs & chicken wings,These are the few of my favorite things. Dark or light […]
Beauty’s Brilliance
Swiftly sweeping her toes,Her humble hat harmonizing her head,Showing sweet smile she pose,With whistles & waves we applaud,Seemingly spellbound by her show.Bewitching beauty baffles us by her brilliance.
Confidence
She gives me a glance,A glance that changes my stance.My stance was once full of confidence,Confidence that I could rule the world. My world now bows down at her feet.Her feet smoothly glides as she comes & greet,Greet I cannot at all, when I see her.Her beautiful face makes me nervous & blabber.
::A poem on 21st century mindset::
Digitalization is the need of hour.Computers occupy immense power.We don’t savor our lives any more.It’s only technology that we devour. Love & kindness have lost their worth.Life is but a road to death from birth.We don’t even try to gel together,Are we the brightest creature on earth?
Love Lost
Jane walked through the gallery smelling like a leftover tragedy and went to her grand mother’s room. She knelt on the floor and lifted the lid of a glass jar kept in the corner. Letters tied with jute threads, dried roses and old photographs filled the jar to the brim. Some colourful handmade greeting […]
A Nursery Rhyme
Eat that apple,Eat that grape,Eat that banana& everything else in your plate. Eat your vegetable,Eat your rice,Eat your bread& everything else in your plate. Eat to get strong & healthy,Eat to gain proper weight,Not all kids get enough food,So eat everything in your plate. Why? ’cause that was the theme for the day in writing […]
Random thoughts about ‘Love’
Love is a beautiful feeling when you fall in it,Until the moment you get drowned in it hopelessly. Raindrops on the windshield takes my heart to places I wish I could wipe off from my mind.Surely, one sided love is a feeling one can only sow but never harvest. ::Unrequited Love::One-sided Love.Accepting it gracefully.But, Is […]
::Thought for the day::
Dear Diary, Writing to you about today,Today was a sunday,Usually it is a fun day. Either trekking on hills away,Or Sitting by the Sea on clay,Is how I spend my day. But with Covid, Life has taken a U turn.All our days are getting troublesome.Work from home is twenty-four by seven. No work life balance […]
Sijo : The conversation
The twilight rays ask the Sun why he leaves them everyday,To change their mood from yellow to orange & then to grey?It is only to return at dawn and bring a new hope he would say. The sijo is a traditional Korean style of poetry written in just 3 lines. The first line presents a […]
::You are now my Past::
My handsome Shravan,As you sit next to me,Humming the sad song inYour beautiful voice,The lyrics though unsaid,Makes me wonder whetherTime could stop standstill,The moment extend indefinitely,Earth cease to rotate &We are not required to depart. But Destiny is whatBrought us togetherAnd it will be the reasonWe need to go away.To not meet again butTo keep […]
