PAUSE


kabhi kabhi zindagi bohat taiz hu jati hai or mein peche reh jati hoon. aese nahi keh mein time py apny kaam nahi karti ya mujh sy time manage nahi huta. aese k mein srf kaam karti hoon or zindagi taizi sy guzarti jati hai.

aaj mene glass k bajaye matti k pyaly mein pani piya tu mujhe ehsaas hua k mere zindagi dobara kitni taiz hu gyi hai or mein phir sy peche reh rhi hoon. aese tab bhi hua tha jab mein pehli dfa hostel shift hui thi. mene aj koi assignment nahi bnayi. koi kaam nahi kia. ammi baba k liye khana bnaya or unko khaty hue dekha. ammi ko hair dye dobara lene ki zarorat hai. baba k dant bht pyary hein kaash mere dant b baba jesy huty. mene aj sab chor k zindagi ko mehsooos kia tu wo waqai thuri thehr c gayi hai or mein ab itna pechy nahi hoon jitna kal tak thi.

kabhi kabhi race sy nikal kar side py baith jana chahiye. ziada nahi bas ek do din k liye. sab ruk jata hai. acha lagta hai. jo chezein waqai ehem hein, wo nazar any lagti hein.

morning

tonight I'd like to step out of my body. place it gently on a couch and cover it with a soft blanket. then id like to sit on a rock by the sea. with ' dancing with your ghost' playing in the background, i'll write you a letter. i will finally feel free of the consequences of my hasty decisions I stay up all night Tell myself I'm alright Baby, you're just harder to see than most i will start by telling you that i meant every word i said, i said it because i felt it in the moment. I will once again compliment the shade of your skin before realizing i am doing it again. Every night I'm dancing with your ghost Every night I'm dancing with your ghost i will finally tell you that i am choking on all the love i have for you and that i want to be free again.  i will write about how i want to have fewer things to worry about, a tear or two will drop and smudge some ink   on the paper Never got the chance To say a last goodbye I gotta move on But it hurts to try I...

all the unfinished pieces from last few months!

damp roads after autumn rains and the memories of everything calm. the thought of getting older. the night i broke your heart. i don't regret it but i think of you every time my heart hurts. adat instrumental plays in the background rn. how do you feel about adult life?  -------------------------------- i am trying to wear eyeliner even on days when my eyebrows are not done and wear extra rings even when my hands are not waxed. its difficult, i haven't been able to convince myself but i am trying to love my body even on days when it doesn't really fulfill society's beauty standards. ----------------------------------------- when you have lived in more than one place, be it a sleepover at a friend's or someone's heart or an actual non-metaphorical house made of concrete walls, you will always long for more. sometimes it will be the people you love, other times it will be material things, the peace and the quiet. ---------------------------------------------------...

2007

i visited my old house today. i think it was the only place i called home with all my heart but maybe that was because that's all i knew back then. i forced my tears back as i found the hole in the backyard wall, i had found a lizard's egg in there once and had been excited for an entire week,  i could still trace out the cracks on the footpath outside the gate because i cycled on it for years trying to keep the wheel on the line. the orange tree that baba planted is now almost 10ft tall and the other tree that our old gardner planted is now double the size.  the new residents are not taking care of the lawn very well, the lokaat tree is uprooted and there are no flowering plants. there is a small bench where we had our dhaniya and podina leaves  the sky was too pretty today and a strong wind blew as i entered the gate, almost like i was in the middle of a movie the neighbor's gate which was our makeshift swing is now gone but the flowers i used as veggies in pretend play...
