YELLOW

ammi baba k kamry mein ek couch hai. wahan sardiyon mein almost asr k time, khirki sy bohat pyari dhoop ati hai. sardiyon ki shaam ki jati jati thandi sunehri dhoop! ye wo time huta hai jab terrace or chattt sy dhoop almost khatam hu jati hai. wo dhoop jo mein aksar apni online classes ki waja sy miss kar dete thi. tu mein classes k baad aksar us couch py lait jati thi.bht maza ata tha. class ki thakawat almost khatam hu jati thi. 


Lekin pta nahi kia baat hai mere koi tasveer wahan kabhi achi nahi ayi. ye baat mery is yaqeen ko or b pukhta kar dete hai k zindagi k bahtareen lamhy or jaghein kabhi camera mein kaid nahi huty, unki exclusive coverage zehen mein huti hai bas. khaas. bht khaas.

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...

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. ---------------------------------------------------...

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...
