Life

Life is a mystery for all, a history of all those gone, a chemistry for all those experimenting. Life is a disguised angel for some and a devil for others. Until we learn, it teaches the same lesson with a curious string of events that are never the same. Life taught me that it’s simply…

Dates.

Dates, they freak me out, same number of the day, same number of the month. It’s like the printing machine stuck chrrr… chrrr… cluck. click. grrr… Yet, it’s another year. Like printing machine’s partial prints takk.. tak. dakaa dakka tak…chrrr… Maybe it’s a memorial of you everyday. A voice in my head says, “There’s something…

Mirror Mirror…

#3YearsAgo I had my life’s funniest experience: At school there was this new girl; tall, skinny yet sexy. Let’s call her Sara. We went to a 3 day camp to a place called Hatu nearby Shimla. It was an ‘only girls’ trip. This trip is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s an awesome…

That Early Morning Earthquake.

One of the best memories: It happened in one of those peak summer days in Patiala when people are endangered by the hot loo blowing at noon and the burning surfaces of roads/streets/terraces. One can never walk bare foot on terrace of their house. Even the stray animals kept resting under shades of trees until…

Thoughts

Thoughts, Like clouds seeming cotton flying in the sky but are simply thick gathering of water vapours. Thoughts, Like a soothing lyricless music from an instrument. Thoughts, Like an eagle flying high in the sky, seldom flapping it’s wings. Thoughts, Like planets in the universe, held without visible strings yet a strong gravitational force. Thoughts,…

Everyday had been Mother’s Day

Born in a Hindu family, a point came in my mother’s life when she fell in love with the Sikh religion. In her words ,”I had read many holy books, every good quote that came in my time’s newspaper but nothing satisfied my thirst for peace. Then when the first time I read the Guru…

Never Have we Ever…

ver have we ever, realised that people forget what they’ve said. Never have we ever, realised that we too forget what we’ve said. Never have we ever, realised how change is so constant not each day but each minute. Never have we ever, realised that meeting a person after a years gives us shock waves…

Silence

Silence became a misunderstanding, Misunderstanding became a reason to part ways… Parting ways lead to confusions, Confusions became thoughts, Thoughts of all the ‘what if(s)?’ Thoughts of all “if(s)” and “but(s)”. Thoughts became regrets. And in regrets we leave… We leave the present, Present to future, Future leading to the one way door…. That’s just…

Life- A Sour Challenge.

Sometimes we feel wrecked, Sometimes we feel nothing, Sometimes we swell with positivity and think, ‘Yes! we can bring the change.’ Sometimes the weather corresponds to your moods. Sometimes the world seems to be a dream. Sometimes the future seems bleak. Sometimes we relish the existing materials. Sometimes we just want more and more… Sometimes…

Wandering Thoughts

Everyday I travel for 45 minutes to my university by the bus. The buses here in Edinburgh are incredibly different from the PRTCs back in India. There are two compartments, a main and another above it. In the lower compartment there is space for disabled people, the seating arrangement is such that the first three…
