Looking my life in retrospect,I delve into the adversaries of my endeavour only to unleash that wound which has long scarred nicely. Getting overwhelmed with that feeling, with a turmoil in my head, I reach out for a pen and paper. But, however hard I try, I could not jot it down. I’m at loss…
Reading Experience#3
The Color purple-by Alice Walker The Author beautifully and poignantly experiments with the rudiments of English language, leaving the reader in awe, who all keep reading it in the spirit of authenticity that the book creates in the reader’s mind.

The Pride Relevance- An Essay
We more often don’t cherish differences when it comes to thought processes. We bound ourselves in a way, and fail to try and understand, ways of lives which are different than ours. We have this pseudo-reality cemented in our brain that we lie in the ” normal curve” of the population, and hereby justify our…
En Route
So, I was here early morning.Just arrived.Waiting for my bus.The hustle-bustle no less than the pre-pandemic times.Same struggles, same delays.My gaze went around,saw nothing but that same liveliness.But it’s masked now.As if attempting to contain seamless within.A mere restriction.A collective-psyche obligation.Not to prevent.Not to cause.But just there , for the sake of it.///Dogs streaking in and…
A single sock.
As I was, cleaning my closet. I came across an isolated sock tucked away in the corner between the shrivelled creases of my trousers. I pulled it out and wondered whether it’s mine or not. Don’t know, but this is the first thing I wonder in these circumstances. As soon as I reached to the…

But you know,each time I pledge to do so,I retreat,maybe because I’m not brave enough to pull this off,maybe my reasons aren’t strong…
Swim away…
Looking for a meaning, I plod through my thought- clutter. I get hold of some pieces and try to make something meaningful out of it. But… It looks different from what I actually saw. My thought canvas is marred by some abberant strokes, so much so, that I do not get transported to the moment,…
Comfortable Silences
It was just another day in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. They were sitting in the far corner of a well-lit colonial cafe against the backdrop of a setting sun, facing each other, but looking inwards. This was the time they chose to introspect, because they could truly be themselves. He got free at 6:00 and…
I had a dream…
I had a dream, which was quixotic in all it’s aspects. It was the manifestation of my subconscious, as if holding onto my unfulfilled desires and through the keyhole of my imagination, projecting on my conscious grey matter.
