Boundaries of Becoming As every boundary redraws the map of who one is becoming through unwavering refusals and unforced acceptances – strengthening the welcoming walls that invite peace, dignity, and self-respect, while dismantling the imprisoning walls built of invisible chains and needless compromises – freedom quietly declares itself in choosing what to carry and what to leave…

As the bay transforms into the world’s most expensive gala, a liquid sapphire carpet rolls out, stretching itself to the horizon. This runway woven as a living mosaic masterpiece is lined along the edges by a thousand invisible paparazzi to cherish the high-profile guest; their flashbulbs blink and fire simultaneously as the breeze braces the surface. Every ripple is a camera lens catching the…

The outer world blooms loudly, as if it has nothing to hide, announcing itself without hesitation – fields bursting red into the open air, mountains stretching out to the horizon wearing their age like crowns, and seasons arriving with spectacle – just to be witnessed. Nature does not conceal its transformations. Flowers open publicly, storms gather visibly, rivers carve their intentions into…

Your joy is a sunrise I have longed to see – golden beams spilling over the edges of your weary heart. I drench in the light of your relief, the way dreams once caged now stretch their wings in a boundless sky. I watch you rise, breathless with unfeigned delight, as the wind carries you toward the sky you’ve earned. But love, even as I cheer your ascent, I feel the air grow thin between us. The…

There is a shadow that haunts the slumber. It creeps and slides, so peace can’t hide. A fault line spreads as emotions roar. A loop of fear glitches the heart in this midnight hour. The ghosts of ‘what-if’s and ‘maybe’s taunt and tease. Who can I tell when there’s no soul around, or the worst, no words to share! Solitude withstands witnessing the suffocating silence. In a world too loud, I am…

A snapshot in time, A moment to treasure! A day of delight, A burst of amusement! A date so fine, A rare alignment! 12 years since 12/12/12. 12/12/2012 has been a day of joyous recall for me. I was in my grade XII then and the whole batch had a memorable celebration in our classroom with cake and candies. The entire day was filled with hours of laughter and whispers. Our class teacher let us…

In twilight’s hush, shadows dance behind the silhouette. A tree of thoughts, rustles and tumultswith a hollowed heart. In branches’ stretch,lies a tangled nestwhere worries nest. Birds on bough,snared in cerebral chaossing a chorus of fears. As light creeps in, the birds take flight to a haven of calm. When troubles spin,they soar on winds of clarity and rest under serene shade. Credits &…

‘Just because’ has always been my favourite phrase. I’m unsure if everyone has a favourite phrase as such, but I do. At a point, I’ve wondered a lot about the fascinating nature of this phrase that I even put a category on this blog with its name – Juz Bcoz. In it, I add posts that speak about vulnerable and raw human emotions that I’ve witnessed or experienced, or incidents that have intrigued…
