Dear Neel #11

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you…. sorry. Let’s not make it a professional disappointment letter. But truth be told my heart is heavy today. As heavy as it has been in a decade. And that is saying something, is it not? I realize I might have said a lotContinue reading “Dear Neel #11”

Dear Neel #10

It’s been longer than I intended it to be and I am sorry about that. But again, considering my last sentence again, I feel like I have nothing to be sorry about, it was just that life took its toll again and I just couldn’t deal with words anymore. However, I am sorry that IContinue reading “Dear Neel #10”

Dear Neel #9

Oh! this month has been eventful, not really back to normal but eventful. I have written more this month than I might have written in the whole of last year. I don’t know if it is a general excitement of my exaggeration or not, I really don’t know, I haven’t really measured. All I knowContinue reading “Dear Neel #9”

Dear Neel #8

Dear Neel #8 It has been good to be writing again. Yes, can you believe that I have started writing again, some poetry, one short story, and one draft of an entire novel? I don’t know what to call it, because it is nothing but a gist of ideas, but somehow I am inching towardsContinue reading “Dear Neel #8”

Dear Neel #7

I am finally out of my reading slump. I am reading sweet books. Happy books. Yes. I am better health wise. I am taking things slow, not pushing myself to my extremes, and I am, for the first time trying not to care much about every single thing that I cannot control. Not that IContinue reading “Dear Neel #7”

Dear Neel #6

Dear Neel I can’t believe this is just the sixth letter I am writing to you. It feels like I have been writing you for ages, telling you undeserved stories and keeping you up to date with my goings on. Not that I hate any of it, but I thought it had to be theContinue reading “Dear Neel #6”

Dear Neel #5

Dearest Neel, I almost forgot to write you a letter this month. Almost. Because see I made it a point to write before the month ends, before the year ends, before 2021 bids adieu, before the two’s welcome us. I have long given up on writing to you on the 15th of every month, IContinue reading “Dear Neel #5”

सूरज से गुफ्तगू #16

तुम कहते नहीं पर मुझपे मरते ज़रूर होतुम थकते नहीं पर मुझे ख्वाबो में देखने को थोड़ी देर सोते जरूर हो,तुम्हारे होठों पे सजी इबादत में, मैं हूँतुम्हारे सीने में छिपी वो सुकून की चाह में, मैं हूँ,तुम कहते नहीं पर रातो से नफरत तुम्हे भी हैंतुम कहते नहीं यार, पर मेरी वो हर अनकहीContinue reading “सूरज से गुफ्तगू #16”

सूरज से गुफ्तगू #13

कभी कभी जब अकेले रोती हूँ तो रातो को भी तेरा इंतज़ार करती हूँ कभी कभी, जब अकेले में सोती हूँ तो खुद की उंगलियों से यु सिलवटे तेरी बना जाती हूँ तेरे बाहों में सिमटना चाहती हूँ कुछ देर ही सही, तुजसे दिल का हर राज़ कहना चाहती हूँ. तू समझता नहीं मेरी प्यासContinue reading “सूरज से गुफ्तगू #13”

Moorings.

Weekends shouldn’t be about going out, partying, trashing, shopping, dining, and tiring yourself. They should be about the things that you would want to do otherwise. It should be about, well, honestly my answer changes as frequently as the illogical and unwanted threats, thrown by people who might run a country and yet wouldn’tContinue reading “Moorings.”
