If you’re in the US

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? Friend hi, how are you? I’ve been kinda worried lately reading about the shit in the US. Every morning of mine starts with checking war status and I know it’s a horrible way to start the say but fuck I […]

Dear Friend Ep 1

I’m surprised that it has taken me this long to think of this. There’s this movie called “My Name Is Khan”, Rizwan khan played by Shahrukh is branded a terrorist after terrorist attacks, this leads to bullying and eventually death of his fiancés son as he’s branded terrorist by association. Mandira, played by Kajol lashes […]

Trying to create things

What activities do you lose yourself in? Hey! Hi how are you, I know it’s been a while since I’ve written to you directly and that’s mostly because I’m trying to be good with responsibilities here. I remember when I had started this blog I had imagined that I’d use it as my unique voice, […]

Sweet

Moved back to my old city Weather doesn’t feel like it did And love is so far gone in my head Holds me back inside my bed Oh I try to be out, to not think about But parts of me still manage to find Your sweet smiling face so kind On people, on billboards, […]

People That Make You Feel Like You Belong

Who are your favorite people to be around? I mean, it’s the most natural answer I have. Considering how little I’ve felt like I’ve belonged. For the longest time I had a really strong support system but over the past year or so I’ve lost majority of it. As people move on with work and […]

Writing about you

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? Writing about you I was standing at the airport and as I was walking through immigration I noticed someone. Short, relaxed posture with short hair clean on the sides and back. She had a backpack. My heart dropped, my blood dried as I suddenly couldn’t […]

Taking a break from existential crisis

Hey there, life has been very bizarre the past few months. Uncertain, difficult and stressful are just a few words I’d use to describe the situation we’re in. I came to a realisation that my phone has me a bit down. I’ve not had the most active social life these past 2 years but despite […]

Do they count if they’re from my life?

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why? Why am I writing here after so many months? Because there’s this person that has specifically told me not to contact them. And hence out of basic human decency I’m not going to contact them. However it is their birthday, and I […]

Kashmir

How do you feel about cold weather? Cold — Distant — Far I like cold weather, during my time in Kashmir last month, I experienced physical cold for the first time properly. Though it wasn’t peak cold, it was enough that it had me over the sink begging for hot water. It was freezing and […]

We choose the love we think we deserve

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? It’s easily one of the most memorable lines from the Perks of being a wallflower — I don’t know how much truth it holds, obviously in the film the whole point was to let them know they deserve more but- I […]
