Write to live, Live to write
The day stands on the threshold of dusk. Pale pink is giving way to peach then orange. The chirping of birds falls away to create absolute silence. It feels like the world has been paused. The only sound I can hear is the gentle creak of my hammock as it swings from side to side: left-right, left-right, left-right …
The first hour after I've woken up is precious to me. I try and make the most of it. I don't talk, don't read the newspaper, and don't check social media. The only thing I do is sit in my balcony with a cup of coffee and stare away.
What is hope? Some people think of it as an endless reservoir that supplies you with an unlimited amount of hope throughout your life. I think of it as something that is born, something that can die, and something that can be killed, too.

Where do your thoughts go When they’ve had enough of you? Where do you put them down When they become too heavy to carry around in your head? Do you place them gently in the pages of your journal, watch them tuck themselves in between the lines, lay their heads on your words, and fall asleep?
Aww, little kitty cat, Thanks for making me realise, That it’s important to stop a bit, And smell the flowers nice. Hoomans are dumb, so very, very dense, They tend to forget the important stuff, But as long as we've got you around, I think that should be reminder enough!
A late night show. A horror movie that pays homage to a cult classic 'The Exorcist'. An actor like Russel Crowe. And two horror buffs looking to be scared out of their skin. Seems like a plan for a ghoulish evening. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently a lot!
Delhi summers! An instrument of torture. A thing of horrors. It drives you stark, raving mad, robs you of hope and happiness, leaves you a husk of your former self! So, what does one do to hold on to sanity? Well, this one creates a bigger suffering ... with her poetry!
