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 #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?

Dear Neel #4

Dear Neel #1
Dear Neel, I am writing to you this time. The last time we saw each other was a long time ago. So long that I am afraid, a little scared if you remember me at all. I don’t know, because I haven’t talked to you since then. Neither have you approached. But the onlyContinue reading “Dear Neel #1”
My Baby Turns One!
My baby turns one! Sorry for the cliche, but how else was I supposed to cry out loud about the excitement. Last year, while we had just begun struggling with the pandemic, I had published my first poetry collection on World Poetry Day. Little did I know, we were going on an indefinite lockdown. MyContinue reading “My Baby Turns One!”

Why We Need Feminism in 2021 #25
Day 25 of #whyweneedfeminismin2021 Can we just go ahead and simply accept the fact that cooking is just a basic life skill. It is needed, but it does not define you, specially when you are a woman. I am sure you know what I am talking about, the stares, the glares, the frowns when oneContinue reading “Why We Need Feminism in 2021 #25”
