The chessboard we didn’t sign-up for
Everyone’s Playing Chess. You Just Didn’t Know You Were the Piece. Ever feel like life’s a giant chessboard and you’re just… part of the game? Look around. People are making moves, strategic, subtle, sometimes ruthless. But instead of rooks and bishops, they’re using us. For someone, you’re the pawn they push forward. For someone else, you’re the knight they rely on to leap over chaos. And if you’re lucky (or powerful), maybe you’re the king they protect, or the queen they fear. It’s wild when you realize: we’re all pieces on someone’s board. But here’s the thing, we get to…

Ladders Never Touch Mud
The ladder gleams, but never rustsit’s never met the soil. From polished heights, they summon contracted ghosts, specters in suits, hollow hands that sign but never build. Greed wears a tie, apathy seals the deal. We, the handlers, catch the crumbs of their lazy feasttardy briefs, half-baked decks, pixels that scream “we didn’t care.” You never want to call out the rot. You want silence, compliance, a nod that costs us sleep. Are youyou hypocritethe one who preaches excellence while outsourcing mediocrity? They say you’re vile. They whisper bribes. They count the favors you never earned. But a corner of…

Today Ain’t My Day
The day started with the continuation of my fever that started from Saturday. The head ache… Felt like millions of minions banging hard inside the right side of my head. Hardcore pain. Still, I took some meds, packed my bag and started to work. Like always, pre-planned the tasks to be completed for the day. There was some hurry burry works, waiting to be closed and buried. That’s the primary reason that I didn’t take a sick leave. But… Well well… Day didn’t turn out the way I wanted. Entire day my vision was dark tinted. Felt like my entire…

A World Without Plastic
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Without doubt – Plastic. If I had the chance, I would give everything to un-invent plastic. I would journey through the corridors of time to find those people, every single one — who dared to plant the seed of this idea. Though Leo Baekeland is credited with creating the first fully developed plastic, my search wouldn’t stop with him. I’d go further back, peeling through the layers of history to uncover the mind that first envisioned this synthetic curse disguised as innovation. And look where we are now… This so-called marvel…

The Mountain’s Whisper – Poem
He says that Mountain never excites him,But he savors the views as he reaches the mountain’s peak.He always says he never love that Mountain,But he feels his best while exploring its thickest terrain,Amidst the echo of murmuring beasts. He says he never falls in love with that Mountain,But he always returns, drawn by an irresistible pull when loneliness knocks at his door.He says he is never meant to be a mountain person,But he always comes back broken,And leaves like a golden vase, whole again,As if that Mountain is his true home. He says he never loves that Mountain,But he cherishes…

The Jade Vine & Bee – A Poem
In emerald depths of tropic’s gleam,A Jade Vine, rare and pure, bloomed in silence. Her claws unfurled, a turquoise hue,Awaiting life, a moment of grace. A bee, attracted to her ethereal light,Drifted closer, a mesmerizing sight. He promised nectar, sweet and deep,As she opened her petals from slumber’s sleep. But his love was fleeting, a summer’s breeze,Leaving her heart adrift on restless seas. For in her heart, a world unknown,She bloomed for him, and him alone. Her emerald tears, a silent plea,For love that was, yet ceased to be. Oh, bee, obsessed with beauty and riches, Chasing his new honeyed…

Sink or Swim: Learning Swimming as an Adult
Picture this: A land-dwelling creature (Me) with lungs that occasionally protest. And then there’s water, the mysterious, liquid abyss that I have never understood, always seeming like it’s waiting to swallow me. Back in 2019, I decided to create a bucket list. List of – things that I wanted to do, things that I thought will give me a reason to look forward to the future, things that drifted me from the thoughts of existential crisis. My list had everything from “Seeing Fireflies” to “Travelling to Barcelona”. But nestled among those wishes was the granddaddy of them all: swimming. Yep,…

Grandfather
I always want to shut my ears when someone talks about their grandparents, especially their grandfather. Maybe it’s because I don’t have them. That’s what I told myself when I was a kid. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t relate. That’s what I told myself when I was a teenager. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t change the past. That’s what I told myself today. The past me always looked in awe at kids who talked about their grandparents buying them this and that, giving them allowances and hugging them hard, cooking them their favorite dishes, telling them all the random funny…

Being Weak: Personal Reflection
Weakness is a word that we often associate with our inabilities, negativity, shame, or failure. We tend to avoid it, hide it, or deny it. But what if we could see weakness differently? Weakness has two sides: physical and emotional. I experienced the extremes of both.

The Crux Of Time (Poem)
The crux of time, the bleak disaster!When everything is weighed on a broken scaleOne always gives more than the other,While the other grows cold and frail…The scale has never been in equilibrium.The low tide hits hard, a harsh reminderOf how the sea can ebb and flow.One always waits for the other’s returnWhile the other seeks new shores to know.The light that shines only in the darkA faint and flickering star;One always hopes for the other’s sparkWhile the other drifts too far…That’s the timeline of starsLongest in your eyes… The shortest in the space…The crux of time, the bleak disasterWhen your emotions…

Anti-Mirror: Power Of Words & Action
