Blank verse

the stars the sun

Metanoia

The waves were coming back; To the islands of ignorance. To people who count stars on their fingertips...   No, wait Now they retreat Away, To the creeks between the cliffs Through straight bends. Heading towards a wishful land With uncountable moons and countable sand.   The islands of ignorance wait Till the day turns black But for the waves, Well,  They were never coming back.

Are women = men??

Are Women =Men? πŸ‘―πŸ‘­πŸ‘­πŸšΊ  For a decade this has been a hot topic for discussion and keeping in view the present situations, the orthodox thinking that still persists in our society and the ardent desire of some men to dominate women, well, I guess this will be a hot topic for discussion for the coming years too. Around the age of  12-14  a girl starts on her menstruations. It’s the natural cycle of 28 days that leaves us with 5 days of usher pain and helplessness; time when we aren’t able to give our full best per month. Don’t shrug your shoulders or chuckle when someone speaks on this topic. Women don’t bellyache about menstruations; they just let you know what you generally feel reluctant about. 5 days isn’t what we lose.  12*5=60.  60 days and almost 2 months your mom, your wife, your sister, your daughter or any other woman around you is coping with a lot that is going inside her. So practically, we women start getting a shortened 10 month year as soon as we...

The Sun is also a star.

There are three kinds of people around us and I have tried to help you find out which type you are. Maybe you know it already but there’s a difference between ‘ ’knowing something ’ and ‘ understanding it’.  Read along and you’ll truly understand something that you already know.   If I ask you to count all the visible stars that you can count, then will you be able to do that? Maybe you’ll try. You’ll wait for the night, and start counting, over and over and after you reach a figure of something say 20 or 30 you’ll probably lose track of it. We look at the sky every day, every time we go out. Yet the sky looks more mesmerizing and impressive when we’ll pay attention to it. Like sometimes when you look up at the twinkling stars or the most magnificent clouds, you wonder how gorgeous the sky is at that moment. But if you’ll be kind enough to look at that question again “….to count all the visible stars that you can count…” Maybe some of you have given up at this moment only ...

The maple story

🍁 The maple story🍁     Someone asked me one day, “Does the maple fall, or does it blossom during the autumn season?” Hearing the word ‘maple’ always brings the image of autumn, the grey skies, fallen leaves, and sunsets. It reminds me of all the elements that are vanishing into stillness as if the very soul in them is slowly dissipating Also, I have been told by my parents and teachers that maple falls when it's autumn. So I answered boldly “Of course it falls” But that someone again asked me, “Well, that’s the standard answer everyone would give, isn’t it? That the maple falls. Try thinking unconventionally.” It’s really hard to change the palace of your conventions and let the pillars of your amassed knowledge, which hold the palace upright, fall to mere facts when an unprecedented, unconventional traveler enters our conventional world. Our conventions bound us to the known, to the grounds of our past experiences because we can feel it beneath us but when t...
