Unapologetic

“It wasn't easy for me It’s never easy for anybody” That’s all he said Before he let her immerse into the darkness Before he ran away Nonchalantly breaking brutally The intangible string Upon which old memories hung feebly She, like a silhouette, became a hollow Mirage of light, Without spirit, unworthy for life Still gathering the broken pieces of their memories While he gets drunk every other night And makes another heart...

Capturing Imagination

“Daddy, that’s a loudspeaker!” exclaimed a younger me. I had drawn a huge triangular shape on a large A1 sheet. It was a 5 year old’s delineation of a rusty ‘Ahuja’ trumpet horn speaker. I found trumpet horn speakers fascinating. They are conical structures with a tapered frustum protruding from within them. These days you would only find them hanging atop railway platforms used to announce vital train stats. I wondered how they could produce such...

Being Human!

Today I watched a poignant movie which deeply fascinated me. Any guesses which one it could be? It wasn't any Bollywood melodrama piece or a Hollywood tale of romance. It was about us, Humans! ‘Human’ is an authentic movie, directed by an artist and filmmaker, Yann Arthus Bertrand; led by two nonprofit organizations: Bettencourt Schueller and Good Planet Foundation. Based on unique thoughts, this movie delicately portrays the in-numerous human lives and emotions: their tears, laughter and fears, etc… across the globe with a quest for the...

A soldier's Wife

Happy Independence day! A tribute to all the soldiers and their families, who sacrifice their lives to protect our motherland and keep us safe! She stood silently Watching him go All he could do was ignore All the tears that flew From their eyes But he had to walk away From her side Because he could no more be her guide Even though the pain was crushing him from inside Clenching his throbbing heart, bleeding He walked till the other side of the road An inexplicable helplessness vanquishing him that couldn’t be cured. He didn't turn...

The Guest

The moments of despondency Mystifying her soul Whirled its course Leaving the print of its hushed trails For him to supervene Overlooking the scars The wind blew fading them away As the years passed like a cupid’s arrow The abysmal wait for the familiar guest Continued like an infinite string of memories Borne out of grief  Making her young feet tad old Her fingers, rosy white to pale yellow She still ardently waited for the...

The Chest

Trodding the untrodden Into the darkness of the woods Into the blues of the skies I see forests, birds squeaking As the north wind chills the spine And across comes the ravine The road’s hostile, the path futile As I fall into the gorge My hope crushed My spine quashed Will I survive this fall? I gather my grit, I show some nerve I scrape and grind through the stones I sweat, I cry, I bleed, I wry Carving the way out, but in vain What hath god wrought? That I earned such pain Will such disparity always reign? I lose everything...

Broken

 A brutal face-off with the reality With life’s complexity and unpredictability My beliefs have shattered into pieces Pointless are all learnt lessons and past experiences Lying lifeless on the floor, bloodless Yet smeared in blood Because my dreams have been murdered By the ruthless fate it seems I have fought for too long Even though proved wrong Again and again by my enemy Who played foul strategy To mar my dreams My forlorn...

A Clammy Day!

Here it was another day at the college and nothing unusual on sight but not to forget, the unbearable humidity which was screaming its presence every now and then. I remember I had classes in the second half which is, no doubt, not a dream of any student but certainly I couldn't afford to miss my attendance. Any B.Tech student can fairly tell how much importance attendance holds in their lives! So, at around 2 pm, I forced my lazy self to get out of the bed, putting my much desired afternoon nap to an abrupt end. No matter what the time is,...

A Bittersweet Story

'Wake Up! You have a train to catch.' Mum was furiously trying to wake me up as I had prepared myself to board the train to Burla, my address for the four succeeding years. We had our final counseling on the following day and dad wanted to visit the place a day in advance so we could explore the campus a little more. We were all set with our documents ready. We boarded the Bolangir bound Intercity at Bhubaneswar and with our destination set at Hirakud, a place I had never been before my entire life. Although pretty thrilled, I was equally panicky...

The Forsaken Soul

She wandered through the untrodden path Not a coward but surely perplexed she was Juggling through billions of thoughts screaming inside her mind She pondered over the past Looking at the familiar people, searching for a frozen lie Time was her only healer, A benevolent care taker From the witching hour till the daybreak She kept gazing at moonlit sky Sitting on her window side The world seemed judgmental of her lunatic thoughts An obscure absurdity...
