Sounds abound..
Crashing waves, smoldering into the pitter patte(rn) of the rain
Heartbreakingly beautiful the sound comrs out..
Flicker of the lighted lamp emulating the Soft glow on faces of people who are nearby
World suddenly became a better place.. even if it means that it will last for few moments
& becomes a memory for lifetime..

Writing after what feels like a decade (quite literally and figuratively) and boy have I yearned back to get at it! Transitioning from Software Engineer to a Business Development Manager in one organization for 7 years and then switching to another to grow and explore more. I have navigated some uncharted path and clocked in my life for the work at one point. Also, not to forget started a new life with my butter (pun intended) half after wat felt like a war. I have learned- unlearned- relearned & grown. While I look back I can connect the dots and reflect upon the path I had chosen and trajectories traversed. The last one and half years into the pandemic has created next level pandemonium in everyone’s life but we continue to co-exist, hoping this too shall pass!
I hope to resume writing journey as an amateur here and look forward to connecting with everyone through the same.
Saying goodbyes is always hard, especially when people are close to you. It so happens that a friend of ours, Dhuan(well his name is pronounced like this at times by people and since it hilarious I will use this) was leaving for an onsite assignment and seeing him off at airport seemed like a customary thing to do. Dhuan was actually the person who used to drive us around everywhere. This time another friend, Walia ji drove us, a person whose company we usually enjoy in office because of him being ‘The Lively Kind’. Continue reading
How did it come so far
I drifted a bit away
And you moved apart
As if from
You being Moon and
Me being star
It converted to
You being Sun
to me remaining
The star.
I walked up a bit fast
So i can see you
Making efforts to catch up.
And you left your pace
altogether So that
The distances becomes longer.
Lil did you know
I am always present
Even when you started being Sun
i was there faded in your light
On the way when you thought
I will never lower my pace
I almost stopped walking
Looking over my shoulder that you will catch up
And you did but you thought I left you behind wherein at last the case was otherwise.
Can you for a second just be?
Just be yourself
And don’t give a damn
About what the other person thinks?
Can you for a second just be?
Just in the moment
Devouring and drowning in it
As if nowhere else you have to be Continue reading
Let it go..
Let it all go..
Walk away
Walk away to place so quite
where the pumping blood
can speak into your ears
& how lively you are,
you can realize.
One thing you should learn sooner or later in your life- ‘It’s always people who are disappointing’. The more you expect out of them, more disappointed you will be left. The root of all the issues here is Expectations. You think the people around you love you as selflessly as you do but the truth is, that is not at all the case. There might be few, which is a rare case but when we talk about majority you will realize that it’s true. I think the moment you start doing something and expect something out of it, 80% chances are you will end up disappointed. Continue reading
After all this while keeping everything together, she broke. She broke into zillions of pieces and the strangest thing is that made no sound to anyone. When something breaks, people around knows that something is broken. Isn’t that how it is supposed to work? She thought to herself rocking herself back and forth with the puffy eyes and uncontrollable tears still dripping down her eyes. She thought of all the people whom she loved and who loved her, it made her heart twitch. Nobody was beside her or for all that matter behind her to make sure this heartbreaking phenomenon doesn’t paralyse the will and strength of moving forward. She tried standing where she was sitting and the shivers grew stronger with the sobs and she couldn’t hold her weight. All the turbulence inside her heart and mind took a toll. She sat back and sobbed some more. Is it ok to grow weary of people? Continue reading
She was watching this video of some valley which she was yet to explore and the conversation of last night took a toll. Being a girl does come with a limitation of its own but little did she ever realise that it will keep her from the experiences she long. Her friends asked her for a trip to which she gently refused. The funny part is that did not crush her heart but the conversation with her parents that shattered the strings of the dream she was weaving. Continue reading
I wish to dive
In a love so deep
With each and every dive
I get addicted
And forget to breathe
I wish to dive
In a love so deep
Where when he tilts his head
I gasp for air
As this smile from him
takes my breath away
