It’s easy to pop a balloon, but not break the brick wall. My heart is now a conglomeration of bricks. With time, it got stronger and stronger and is getting more harder to break. But, I keep trying clinging on the rope of hope, creeping through subdued shadows, to break it someday.
Yeah, you heard it right. I am in pursuit of an intentional heartbreak. How will it open until it is not broken? Only when it breaks and aches, I believe there’ll be ways that let in rays for an alternative exploration.

I’m ecstatically happy to share with you the news that an anthology that I’m a part of, “Utmost Feelings” with the theme ‘Love’, has been released.
It’s been exactly a month today since the launch (29th June 2021). But, I wanted to share this news only after I received a paperback copy. The delivery was a mess, unfortunately, and I got my copy only a couple of days ago and hence the delay in the announcement.
Attached with bittersweet memories, this book will always remain special. Astha, the girl who initiated the process of compiling this book is no more with us. Today marks the end of three months since her demise. But still, the legacy of her dream lingers in each word that the book holds. I heartily appreciate the efforts of True Dreamster, the publisher, who took Astha’s wish forward and presented this bouquet of love to her family as a tribute.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to every person who’s a part of this wonderful project and all supporters.

crepuscular rays
popular daze of blue streaks
musical light show
stellar stars steal the party
as pendulous pearl proceeds
This tanka depicts the twilight scene when crepuscular rays take control of the sky after the sun sets. Alongside the chirping music of birds and the dynamic shades of light rays, stars arrive stealing the show with the moon that appears as a pearl in an unseen pendulum.

Have you ever struggled to get out of your frame of mind, and lost peace? This is a poem that depicts such a circumstance.
My happiness is history. I had wings colorful and bright. Out of the blue, I got trapped in a misery jar. Difficult to breathe, I played along as far as I could. I sat with my pain, and Acknowledged its presence.Continue reading
I'm star-struck. Share some light. Make me feel light. In you, I see The vastness of my spirit Spread over infinite space. I search and soar Beneath the bed of stars In depths of the surreal sky.Continue reading
We often go through tough times when we face failures, when expectations crowd or we’re in the spotlight. We wish we were left alone in a dark place without any disturbance. But, is it okay to welcome gloom into one’s life volitionally? At least with me, it’s a no.
There are different shades of darkness. An eerie silence and moonless night. Luminescent beach with none by side. Dense forest with torch in hand. Sullen sky accompanied by stray winds.Continue reading

flawed shades reflect flawless days
sky in charming hues
omitting you dooms lives

We’ve all had that childhood sisters/brothers who used to terrify us by saying dreadful stories or something that doesn’t even exist. I must have been in my 1st or 2nd grade when I was introduced to the concept of ‘glassics’. Let me tell you what glassics are.
On a sunny day, when you stand out for a long time, you get to see that arrow/worm-like thing floating in the air, in your field of vision. You might even have experienced it while glancing at similar uniformly bright objects, say, a blank computer screen or even snow.
My then neighbour and senior at school used to spin stories around that, telling me that these are worms flying around in air causing infection to people. The highlight is that I believed all these for a few years until I knew that particles or organisms in the air cannot be seen with naked eyes. Continue reading
snow filled mountain caps
memories melt on warm days
nearby lake collects
pathway forms on green globe
memories taken away
voyage from heaven
treading over rocks
water splatters with loud roars
embracing valley Continue reading
wind breaks talks of clouds!
hoping to meet them elsewhere
sun waits the whole day
clouds blush crimson red!
promising to meet again
sun kissed the floaters goodbye
never do they meet
sharing light they pull closer
never do they part
This post is written in response to the ‘Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt’ by Ronovan. The challenge words for the week are Meet and Part.
blind belief reigns world
lies roam around in the light
distorted truths shy away
haze hid the vision
gazing through confusion clouds
light led the mission Continue reading
Blue haired fairy
flew away far,
transferring charges
to the green-eyed.
She cast spells
to de-ice lands,
making hearts sing
the blooms of spring!
Seeds of hope
and euphonious music,
spreading joy in the air
awakened sleepy souls.
