Have you ever had to detach yourself from someone who was your constant—your day, your night, your everything? The sudden void left behind feels unbearable, like a part of you is missing. It’s not just their absence; it’s the loss of the rhythm you shared, the habits you built together. The distance drives you wild, like an addict craving the one thing that kept them whole. It’s suffocating, this…

The rain pattered softly against the windows of my tiny apartment, each drop echoing like the steady beat of a clock. I leaned my head back on the couch and stared up at the ceiling, feeling the emptiness creep in again. It had been months since I left my hometown, yet every time I thought I was starting to adjust, the ache returned—sharp and undeniable. I missed them. I missed the smell of…

There are lessons life teaches us in whispers—lessons that aren’t shouted from the rooftops or shared in heartfelt conversations. They’re the ones we learn in the quiet moments, the ones no one really hears about. They aren’t glamorous or easily shared on social media, but they’re powerful, shaping us in ways we never expected. I learned how to comfort myself when no one else knew I was hurting.…

People often say that love and relationships will last forever. But how? We came into this world alone, and one day, our soul will leave it alone. So, except for yourself, no one will always be there to pat your back when you’re feeling down, when you’re doing great, or when you’re confused about which path to take. In the end, it’s always you by your side. As I grew up, I realized that crying…

Today, I was traveling from my hometown to Bhubaneswar on an early morning train. When we boarded and reached our seats, we found that someone was already sleeping in both my seat and my sister’s seat. We double-checked to make sure we were in the right place before waking them up. I politely woke them and said that these were our seats. The woman insisted that the seats were hers, but I showed…

Childhood friendships often weave a tapestry of beautiful memories, filled with laughter and shared secrets. However, as the pages of time turn, these seemingly unbreakable bonds can reveal the fragility of human connections. What was once a source of joy can become a wellspring of pain as the realities of adulthood unveil the complexities within those relationships. Sometimes, the people we grew…

Instead of solely focusing on personal woes, let’s broaden our perspective. The key to genuine happiness lies not in self-absorption but in recognizing that each individual is navigating their unique set of…

For introverts, the struggle to blend seamlessly with others is a complex dance between the comfort of solitude and the yearning for genuine companionship. Engaging in the art of conversation often becomes a meticulous process, as they carefully choose their words and contribute thoughtfully. The challenge lies in finding common ground between their introspective nature and the need to engage…

Introduction: Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, uncertainties, and unexpected encounters that shape who we are and where we’re heading. Amidst the ever-changing landscape of life, it becomes crucial to appreciate and cherish each moment, whether good or bad. As an average student who never dreamed of entering the world of IT, I have come to realize that life’s surprises can lead us…

I went to visit Mumbai once when I was around 9th standard. It was an exciting adventure for me, as I had heard so much about the bustling city and its vibrant culture. Little did I know that this trip would leave a lasting impression on my mind and heart.From the moment I arrived in Mumbai, I was captivated by the energy and diversity of the place. The city was alive with people from all walks…

Being ignored by someone you love can be a painful and confusing experience. It can make you feel abandoned, rejected, and helpless.Ghosting is a phenomenon that has become more common in the age of technology, where people can easily block or ignore someone without explanation. Being ghosted by someone you love can be a devastating experience, leaving you feeling hurt, confused, and rejected.…

I have never quite understood why being fine is equated with being chatty. It is so common to be asked if I am fine if there is a relatively long spell of silence from me. I don’t mean to disregard genuine concern from friends and family – I do understand that a lot of times it comes from a good place and stems from good intentions but I have always struggled to conceal my evident irritation at…

A heart that’s heavy, burdened with pain, Longing to speak, to feel whole again. Yet every message left unanswered, A love so strong now left unhampered. Memories flood, of times gone by, The laughter and joy, that made us fly. But now a silence lingers between, The words unsaid, the unspoken scene. My soul cries out, for a love renewed, A chance to talk, to heal the feud. But every attempt…

Beside you, yet a world away, I feel the distance more each day. Your words are empty, your touch is cold, The love we shared is growing old. Once, I felt your love surround me, A warmth that filled my heart completely. But now that fire has died away, Leaving me in a lonely fray. I long for the passion we once knew, The bond that held me close to you. But now I feel so lost and alone, As if…

I often hear people testify to others’ goodness and say things like “she’s a really sweet person” or “he is genuinely a good guy”. In fact, I have found myself doing the same on quite a few occasions – make a blanket assertion based on my experience with a particular person. I guess it is easy to conflate that with someone else’s. But I keep thinking about vantage points every now and then. What…

Something I read recently is making me think a lot about personhood. Let’s talk about change. It is so normal to watch people root for a kind of immutability – the belief that many will walk in and out of your life but you must not give them the power to change you. And if you do, the joke is on you because you “let” the world change you. You know what I am saying? It is common to hear old…

You stay: Forever in my Heart

You never promised me an eternity of togetherness, you just promised me an eternity of love. Somewhere deep in my heart, I already knew that we can’t be together forever. We are meant to be parted at some point in life. You taught me that love is a magical force that could even overwhelm the impediment of death. We never dreamt or planned about the future, we just embraced the transitory of…
