In the midst of a scorching summer, an elderly gentleman returned from his Portuguese escapade, a spot his kids swore by after reveling in its beauty.

Cue his daughter, a paragon of devotion, swooping in to nurse… Continue reading Heartache’s Mosaic: The Unseen Threads of Resilience

Having a meeting at 9.30 AM on December 25th. It’s Christmas morning, for chrissakes!!! Involving me in unnecessary meetings to make me feel important. Dude, making me go to meetings and meet people when I am leaving the organisation is not the way to make me feel valued. It makes me question you – “Why […]

It hit me, when I worked hard with only criticism as my reward. It hit me, when I spent sleepless nights staring at my work. It hit me, when I was hospitalised and my manager called me to make me do work. I was wasting precious energy, brain-work and time all for the sake of […]

If you do any of these things, trust me I understand your pain. Truly. When you have to come early and stay late at office not because you have work but because you’re expected to. When it’s perfectly acceptable for people to have an in-person meeting during the weekend for status updates. When your Whatsapp […]

They’ll be the ones who make an effort to come and talk to you, not because they care, they pretend to. Because they want to hear some news from you. They talk in such a nice and unassuming manner, you’ll be fooled into thinking they’re good. They talk so softly, so sweetly you’d almost miss […]

The streets keep gleaming, I can feel the ghosts cheering The sounds that can be heard, Echo in the ear Dripping, dropping, swishing, slashing Life keeps still as calm Thrum of strings Be faintly heard, and Disappear into the night Hopes belong to loves lost long Breaths of life fill the air As minds open; […]
