Island

You came back to haunt me and I realized, that you were an island and I passed you by. You were an island to discover.

Guilt/Repentance

Do we repent over the fact that we caused it to happen? Or do we feel guilty about it being the cause of our unhappiness, and worse still, jealousy?

~~~

I think I feel bad about feeling bad.

Pronouns Used:

It: A seemingly innocent incident. One thing led to another. And now it has caused an entirely unexpected chain of events.

Implicit

I do not understand half of the things I say, but they sound so horribly cool that I do not complain to myself.

Smile for Me

I rushed into his room to give him the good news. He smiled and tried to be happy for me. But I saw through the guise. Didn’t he realize his sham was so predictable? One of us had deflated like a burst balloon.

He rushed into my room to give me the good news. I smiled and tried to be happy for him. Could he see through my pretense? Didn’t I realize my sham was so predictable? One of us deflated like a burst balloon. Yet again.

Orange Sky

Sometimes, sometimes, my mind is too strong to carry on. When I am alone. When I am unable to throw off the weight of this crazy stone. When I want to lose all care for the things I own. Yes, it's a long road we have to walk on.

Modernity Vs Tradition

They say India is nation where tradition is fighting for space with modernity. They say we have been able to strike a balance till now. I wonder. Then I catch myself doing this.

Every night I soak a fistful of dried amla in a glass of water. In the morning, while bathing, I use it as a, well, ayurvedic shampoo to wash my hair. But then soon after, I use a fancy conditioner to make them smell decent. I wonder how long the balance will last.
