10 Cups of Creativity: A Forgotten Reminder
Found this gem deep in an old folder from my Creative Thinking course. The assignment? “Draw 10 cups.” That’s it. No brief, no model, just 10 different ways to cup.Looking at them now, it’s wild. There’s the cracked, detailed one; the fluffy, blue, on-fire one; the messy scribble one; and the structured grid one. They’re all over the place, and that’s the point. At the time, I was just doing the work, probably stressing about the grade. But the prompt was actually asking: “What does creativity look like to you?” Looking at them now, it’s wild. There’s the cracked, detailed…

The More More More
Why don’t you go easy on me, Life… why don’t you? It’s the same old Sunday night, and my chest grows tighter, tighter. The same old Sunday night— but I’m not hoping for a Monday on the other end of my blink. Work stacks up— a weight beyond what even a camel can bear. Capitalism never bothers. Corporate never flinches. I stand in the center, bound by threads pulling me apart, day by day. I shed my skin, showed my bones. But all eyes turned blind— because I’m known as the camel built to carry and wither. They said: You’re…

Nothing Can Be Hidden
Two years tomorrow,Since the day we first met.One year, eleven months—A lifetime of regret. You spun your web so carefully,Web with the sharpest blade.It ripped open the fragile mind,While you hid yours instead. I didn’t know your story,Or the shadows in your past.I didn’t know the truth of you—How long could the act last? But fate has a funny way,Of tearing down the lies.One month after you were gone,The truth fell in my eyes. A stranger came and handed me,The pieces of your life.Your history, your family,The chaos and the strife. I saw your youth right in front of my…

Never an Admirer of a Pot
Never an admirer of a pot,Pots on the street or pot on the gallery,Never bothered by its presence either.Pots are of types…The outcome of the clay and the potter.Either sits as a show-off,Speaks with a deformed voice,Or ends up storage of the needs of human kind. I came across one such pot,Never an admirer of this pot.Looked neat… Looked clean…Looked spotless… Looked as if it could hold on to the waterI seldom poured in any before.Everything on the outsideWell and fine. She thought, he thought, and I thoughtThe pot is bought.It lays on that table idle.Should I use it to…

Reclaiming My Garden
I removed the rose beds,Cleared away the weeds,I never wanted them to begin with.There was no one to help,It was just me,With bare hands.I dipped my fingers into the hardened soil,Plucking them one by one.The thorns cut my skin,Blood droplets painting the soil red.I put them in a box,Asked the mailman to send it to those women out there…Women who deserve those roses,Women who want those rose beds.I burnt the weeds to ashes.“Alone? Didn’t it take too much time?”They asked me…Yes, alone.While the sun rose and set…Fifteen moons passed by…I got drenched in the drizzles,Drizzles that swept from the darkest…

Colosseum of Time
I am aliveBreathing, laughing, loving,After years spent in shadowsAs a sick child clinging fear, and fight.Grateful for this fragile heartbeat,For the sunrise I never thought I’d see. I no longer chase the world,Nor care to please its fickle crowd.It’s okay to be oblivious,To stand alone inside truth.Let me be free from the weight of others,Their opinions, their fleeting praise. But still, things often makes me crossThe career, the grind,Responsibility that demand to protect who I love.We inherit no riches, no legacies,Only dreams of distant lands,Where I long to roam but need to earn.In this world, in this culture,The work is…

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…

Van Gogh Art – An Enchanting Experience In Namma Chennai
Art Experiences are quite minimal in a city like ours, we hardly have an event to immerse ourselves in and break free from suffocating side of our adulthood. Letting ourselves all out and sinking into experiences has become a luxury. In the eyes of the world, if we go out and experience something new, it’s more of a luxury. And we can’t blame it, we let the society to think that way. Isn’t it too much? – I asked myself when my friend told me about this immersive art exhibition. The immersive art exhibition of Vincent Van Gogh’s work which…
