A line was drawn upon a map,With ink that looked so thin.But rivers of tears would follow it,And wounds would live within.Neighbors once who shared their bread,Their markets, songs, and prayer,Found borders standing in their fields,And soldiers everywhere.The trains that carried traders once,Carried silence, grief, and fear;For homes were lost to hurried linesThat maps could...

War & Profit
They say war is tragic, a terrible, costly affair. Strange then how some people always seem to get rich there. The bombs fall loudly, the speeches fall faster. Someone sells missiles, someone sells plaster. The cities burn nightly, the markets stay sunny. Lives are the losses, but rich makes money. The leaders look solemn, the... Continue Reading →
Patience and Persistence
Patience and persistence,two quiet forces walking beside me. Patience,the calm breath before the dawn,trusting that light is already on its way. Persistence,the steady step on uneven ground,even when the summit hides in clouds. I will not rush what is meant to grow.I will not quit when the road feels long.Dreams are not built in a...

You are not behind
It is OK to be lost,not every road needs a name.Some days are meant for wandering, for learning the rhythm of your own steps.If today feels uncertain, let it still be kinder than yesterday. You are not behind. You are becoming. Being lost is still progress when your steps fall in better places than before.
A Man With No Address
I have learned the art of leavingbefore the walls begin to know my name.Every city greets me kindly,offers its lights and language,a chair by the window,and still, I keep my shoes on.I am not unhappy.I eat, I sleep, I smile when spoken to.The sky above me is generous,the road beneath me steady.Yet something inside merefuses...

If love is a place
When you stand beside me,the world forgets its weight.The sun may burn all day,but in your eyesI find my shade.I have walked alone before,strong and unafraid,yet with your hand in mineeven silence feels like home.If love is a place,it is nowhere far away.It is simplywhere you are.
Choose me
The world will change.We will too.But in the quietafter the arguments,after the doubts,after the long days,turn back to me.Not because you need me.Not because you’re afraid to be alone.But because,of all the places you could stand,you decide,together is where we belong.Staynot out of habit,not out of history,but out of choice.Every time.
Bina Aaloo ke Samosa
Life tumhare bina, jaise bina aaloo ke samosa,Upar se mast, par andar se dhokha. Life tumhare bina, jaise bina cheeni ke chai,subah toh ho, par dil ko sukoon na aaye. Jaise dum bina biryani,Jaise romance bina kahani,Chal to jaaye, par maja na aaye.Tum ho toh zindagi full plate chaat hai,khatti bhi, meethi bhi, aur thodi... Continue Reading →
Then came the poets;and all hell broke loose
First there were hunters and gatherers,men who knew the patience of forests,who read the language of windand measured time by the sun’s slow breathing. They took only what hunger asked for,and the earth, like a quiet mother,kept no account of their debts. Then came the poets;and all hell broke loose. For poets do not merely... Continue Reading →
Forever feels right with you
Forever feels right with you; like the first soft light that breaks the night through,your presence steadies the storms I never knew.Your touch: gentle as prayer, fills me with joy,and every heartbeat whispers, I belong to you. Forever feels right with you;like monsoon rains finding the earth they once knew.Your smile is a doorway my... Continue Reading →
Poem: Office Politics
Maybe this game is different, with different rules,Maybe I am still naive, without many clues.Maybe the days of being nice are over,Maybe a blame game is all this life has to offer. There was a time when it was fun to work on something new,Now, new feels like a battle, with allies very few.I am... Continue Reading →
