Till When?
It almost surprises me how we all as humans are so quick to adapt, and yet fear ‘change’ the most. We feared the change in our routines when pandemic first started. And now look at all of us sitting on our beds surrounded by muffled noise of the television, unkempt blankets, tangled charging wires, the…

How many mothers?
How many mothers do you have? I tried but I lost the count. My fingers fall short when I try to remember all the people who expressed their motherly love towards me. You see I have two mothers in my house, one my mom and other my sister. She has been accompanying me in the…

Create in Constraints

Is love an art?
Art is said to be a recession-free industry because you’ll never stop wanting more of it.

Red and Black
Oil paints leave stickiness on brushes, the bristles gradually disappear with every stroke of paint. It splashes colours on the white screen and loses parts of itself like millennials are losing reasons to stay. I once painted red and black, that night my mom explained how art can come true in some way or other.…

Front Wall
A sweet salty smell, something like moghras and beach water, that’s exactly how you smell like when you cook apple cinnamon pancakes with extra caramel. Your olive green hoodie, the one I took and never gave you back just like your sly smile that was never reciprocated with a hidden glance. Your words did to…
