Currently on Hiatus/Writing my Novel
Two thirty in the morning, lights on in my room, Two thirty in the night, life goes on what can you do, Scrapping the edges of my brain, memories washed out but not forgotten Never see me quiver on a thought, my heart be done flogging Comical timing, wind rhyming, bird chirping and cities whining...

You're broken but seemingly irreplaceable, I lack focus, my mind unattainable, We meet every now and then, In the scintillating valley of off-timing, We run away as our chemistry turns into lightening. Gone are the days when I was just man ruled by my vices, You too have bid adieu to your kingdom of niceness,... Continue Reading →
Imagine I was Hercules returning to a normal life, To a house filled with comfort, food and wine, When doomsday has been taken care of, when the world could use some time, I will travel back to earth and I'll start without a dime. Would I kick it on the sofa and binge watch through... Continue Reading →
Gen-Z has grown up every day seeing the impossible being outdone and slowly decay into irrelevance. We live everyday life based on an 'Adapt' rather than a 'nurture' philosophy. Perhaps the most beneficial aspect of being the most diverse generation is that we don't fashion being defined by hard boiled ideals. We are also more... Continue Reading →
Track - I know It's Over by The Smiths. "I know she makes you angry right now and I know you want to give her a piece of your mind but what good is that going to do..." said Darshini.

We live in a world where we don't always get what we deserve; both people and situations tend to let us down in the form of emotionally compressed experiences that have both short and long term negative impacts on our ability to feel, love and at times, even live. We always tend to hear phrases... Continue Reading →
They see you at the club, I see your everyday crazy, You do this and that, feel shit and comeback, You multitask like being God is easy Beat the world twice and they'll still call you lazy You fight these entitled pricks on a everyday basis You don't sweat, sit back and kick it like...

If there is anything that music, movies, pop culture and media have taught us, it’s that you can be a lover or a fighter but not both. Even though I’m not a huge fan of romanticising prioritisation, finding it only as an excuse for an exasperation , the pandemic has shown us that, at least... Continue Reading →
Life is a thin reel on a grayscale consortium The person of a bright white scale One day darker than you imagined You see yourself in shades that were beyond your spectrum Broken hearts in a highly stimulated atmosphere Weaknesses that were never bound to happen Appear as cold slate realities to haunt your sleep ...

The corner of your eye pricks my funny bones, Your absence, worse than sticks and stones, We dealt with love and we dealt with pain, Couple of twenty years olds, We just couldn't fool our brains. I held your hand knowing not what was ahead, Hithering and thithering accross examination rooms, You looked afraid and... Continue Reading →
The 21st century pioneers can keep their slogans of making the world a better place to themselves, I am not falling for that. That idea is an illusion. The real world is motivated by greed and lust and filled with people who sell their to soul the devil and the souls of others to corrupt... Continue Reading →
My first try at lyrical poetry. (Please be gentle) This weight that I can't supply, Doesn't slip by the naked eye, Says be my friend and time will fly, Don't accept no truth, don't make no lie. Wither with me to deeper end, Across space, time and continents, Time alignment on a perfect tangent, Slithering... Continue Reading →

Quitclaim Deed Would you return if you had received, a string of sorrows and endless grief, from fate, with a familiar ardency, leaving behind a scar for eternity. Would you try to identify ? Who's behind it and the why. Would you succumb to make-belief? Or will you let it go like a quitclaim deed? Would... Continue Reading →
"I shit you not, this has to be the most dim-lit, rodent infected, foul-smelling place I have ever worked at. I ain't calling this piss-bliss my office for long, you can have that signed on any damn paper you want." I said, trying to get a ketchup stain off a uniform that barely had a... Continue Reading →
