I go to buy clothes and select them, not by the choice of it but the size of it. My cousins started calling me fatso and fatty instead of sweetie or cutie. My relatives started sending me weight loss products and remedies instead of normal messages and goodies. I entered my home in India expecting […]
Mother – Muvisha Ajay
Such a special bond we share Such a special person you are Mom you’ve always given me abundantly, your caring love and constant support. I’ve always wondered how you do it all mom, being a teacher, doctor and adviser to me, yet finding time to listen to my secrets and worries. I just couldn’t […]
THE SHRINE WITHIN WE – DHEEMAN GANGOPADHYAY
There lies a dark shrine hidden within our deep recesses, Cobbled by petty lies and our mistakes uncommitted. It lies empty, as our thoughts cannot cross the empty chasm, The rift our society has taught. Whilst it remains shrouded in a blanket of ignorance. We all strive for it, yet it does not yield […]
Shattered – Aarushi Sarkar
My bones are of porcelain My heart is of glass, Don’t touch me dear, I might fall apart. Give me your heart, I shall hold it with care. Gingerly, I shall hold it close to mine. I know how reckless you’ve been with mine, Oh! how you’ve shattered it into nine. […]
A CRY FOR PEACE – Sheryll Garg
A gun shot sounded And a person dropped dead Uncontrolled blood flowing Makin the body completely red The grieving family seeks revenge Their family member they want to avenge This triggered a series of killing The whole nation with deadly war filing A very here and a scream there Sadness takes over, happiness […]
FALL OF SEASONS – SASHINI MANIKANDAN
Oh the hotness, We need coldness, It’s unmistakable Cause it’s SUMMER. Oh the leaves, In many heaps It’s unmistakable Cause it’s AUTUMN. Oh the coldness, Has a lot of harshness, It’s unmistakable Cause it’s WINTER. Oh the breeze, Sends away the freeze, Is unmistakable Cause it’s SPRING. Due to peace All […]
Light of Tolerance – Sarika Manoj
We search for light. We search in the darkness and claim to find no such light. We don’t realise we are blind folded. By our prejudices and abstruse preconceptions. We accept that we are all unique and different. Accept that the world is for all of us. Then why do we find it so hard […]
BELIEVE – Saraswathi S. Iyer
“Did I or not?” Is what keeps me up all night, With all these problems that I don’t know to fight “Should I or not?” circulates my head all day long, What makes me fear is, ‘What if I am wrong?’ “Can I or not?” is the reason for my fear, And It rapidly […]
MILLION REASONS – RISHITA DUTTA
Every day is a wonderful day. Why? Because of our mother. Every day is fun. Why? Because of our mother. A day might come where you feel bad. Who makes you feel better? Our mother. But our mom never tells if she feels bad. Why? Cause she cares about others. She […]
PEACE – Ria Tushar Ghelani
Beyond the fights and the screams unworthy, Beyond the cries and the shouts for mercy, In a world away from hurt and pain, Laughs and smiles are all that rains. Underneath those smiles, it’s the hurt that hides, Every day we witness a new one die, Is this what we truly deserve? Or should our […]
The Question – Raunak Raghavan
Before the merciless strike of the axe, There is one question we must ask, Do we wound one that gives? Then why, we must ask Do we hurt every nature’s being that lives? Do we carelessly damage a loved one? Then why, we must ask Do we discard nature’s children once their course […]
Born Again – Khushi Gupta
Comfortable,within her own Hands locked, legs in a spin Seated calmly amongst a storm of thoughts- She had everything in her head, The whites, the black and the grey dots She had given life a chance again It gave her hope and then betrayal Reminding her of her broken dreams Some buried memories, some haunting […]
TENDERNESS IN MANKIND – IPSA MANHAS

Wasted Away – Archisha Mukherjee
When the last drop of water has finally trickled away And the last green leaf has withered What do you think you’re going to say To the masses that wait, bewildered? When a breath of fresh air becomes a luxury for the rich And the sky is overcast, not a single cloud in sight […]
The Earth’s call – Araghya Dev Singh Manhas
