Quite like Home!

December 12, 2025

I was about to take the last turn to my home after a brief walk to take some fresh morning sunshine. I noticed the little flowers that had fallen off on the left sidewalk from the tree last night and maybe a few previous nights. Still looking fresh, carrying the faint essence of their night duties. I picked up one, sized like a clove, hoping to smell the fragrance up close. It was very faint, obviously nothing compared with how it does in one of those large bunches up above. The flowers had already assured I was close, close to what I could call home for a while. There stood the tree with very small bunches, awaiting their full blooms. The buds were a testimony to that. I kept looking for a few more moments, analyzing how late they’ve bloomed. I wondered if the tree was blooming for the first time ever, because there it stood as tall as they grow. How come I’m standing there for the first time, feeling a narrow escape to heaven. The first time, my vision had to beat my olfactory ...

Who Lasts Longer?

I keep walking on fire! My soles, burning! As I bleed from my heart, and see my blood falling. Every drop tries to douse the fire extinguish it from flaring, and me from diminishing. I do not lose my control, Neither my consciousness. I watch me bleed, and I watch me burn. And I tell myself To be brave, strong and resilient, “You cannot give up, You have got to fight There’s light on the other side” The sky turns red with pain and I look it in the eye. I try hard not to blink So, if it were death Let it see in my eyes too, let it know I’m not scared. I’ve made a fire in me, That which can never be put off. My eyes glittering bright, brighter than the simmering, the one beneath my feet. I take a sigh of relief, a nd a tear drop falls, straight onto the ground. And I hear it fizzle. Steam rises from that fall, as though whispering, “It’s over! You’ve reached the edge, Don’t stop or you star...

STARRING MY FIRST DAY AT PANJAB UNIVERSITY

August 02, 2019

It's already 8:54 and the traffic's still jam, Water's gushing everywhere, with heavy rain around, I think I need to scan. Blurr was the car's window, dunno where I got down, Buildings are all the same, it's already 9 and my mind's blown. Stepping for once, let's find our way, Water's clogged everywhere, I start to pray. Is that the management of my university, Pedestrians are put to so much adversity. Wet is me, all down my knees, Stamped so many earthworms, all my good deeds flee. Looking at the watch, it's already 9:10, Class would have started, should I move further or remain. Rain's still heavy, first day seems to levy, Finally reached my department, and took sigh of relief. Climbing through the stairs, I wonder where's the washroom, costumes are spoiled, once more I need to groom. Going through the notice board, I found my lab, Professor's still not arrived, all my suspense seems to stab. 9:39, I drank s...
