Why We Need Feminism in 2021 #4

Day 4 of #whyweneedfeminismin2021 Kindergarten taught me what good meant, so over time when someone asked me if I was a good girl, I took the term for granted and accepted the adjective. I was a good girl. Meaning, I thought good meant loyal, kind, helping, compassionate, humble. Someone who would stick to their valuesContinue reading “Why We Need Feminism in 2021 #4”

My Niece Sends Love

My biggest distraction for nanowrimo is this cute little bundle with an infectious laughter and a magnetic warm hug. Apart from her, there are a few other things that nanowrimo is doing to me. As I write, even I am surprised with the turns that my plot is taking. I am down to 23k wordsContinue reading “My Niece Sends Love”

Interim

The Wait For Spring.

Warning: This is going to be pretty long. Proceed and get bored at your own risk! * I should probably start with wishing new years to all of you, but I am sure that I am very late for that, very very late. So, shall I just go ahead and ask you if youContinue reading “The Wait For Spring.”

It Never Rained!

I leave my office Ditch the elevator And jump down the stairs. I plan to go home Early, yet again And then I don’t go home. I drive through the streets, The long lost, The long, waiting streets. Accidentally, unintentionally I lead myself to ‘the’ place, The secluded one. The isolated street Stares at meContinue reading “It Never Rained!”

Krishna talked sense into me..

This post is going to be a little different from what I usually write here, but by the end of it you might think I am back to my usual. So if you get there, thank you for bearing with me. * “Mayi sarvani karmani samnyasyādhyātmacetasā; Nirāśirnirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasava vigatajvarah.” Renouncing all actions intoContinue reading “Krishna talked sense into me..”

Possibility Of The Impossible!

Sitting at the top of the mountain, In the open air, I couldn’t breathe in. Sitting near the holy pyre, The woods burning, I couldn’t even feel the fire. Sitting on the green earth, The flowers blooming, I couldn’t even reckon my birth. How can there be lack of water, NearContinue reading “Possibility Of The Impossible!”
