T.H.E C.I.T.Y that taught her a-lot.


The city which taught her alot.
Not because she had seen more of the streets than the walls of her house,
But because this city breathes alot.
It has no phases of the day when it can sit,
Just sit doing nothing.
Like the girl by the signal sitting with gajlas but not earning.
Like the boy with balloons, not playing but selling.
Like the lady carrying the baby, not in the baby vehicle but draped against her waist.
Like grandpa sitting with blank cloth on the floor and blank eyes amid the wrinkles and stretched smiles.
This city is made of water!
Water- not carrying the concert wall but is the base, the roots you say.
Foreigners , residents and of course the so called love birds sit along the shore.
Some quite with life.
Some fussing over others existence and ignorant of their own.
Some capturing it into the lens.
No, not the retina but the lens which are evident to the beauty of the place she resides.
And the love birds the lead players of different
Trailers to be flashed on theatre screens.
It's not that the city has many successes stories of finding soulmates.
But it sure motivates to find them.
The city she reside inhales alot.
Besides the breathtaking sunsets,
It has also seen breathtaking nights.
The histories and present of this city is inseparable.
The food smelling in boxes,
Hanging on the bicycle feeds the city.
And this how her city loves silence,
 Wrapped up in the sound of Horns, Music and choas.
M.U.M.B.A.I

Drifting thoughts of 5AM...

Does the silence gets you in future Does the lonely soul feels the presence of that soul Does the plugged earphone tune that voice Does the present wants to repeat those chapters Do that fights are more engrossing ,than those serious talks Does every word on the screen is felt like , 'This is to be stared' Do you star it like ,Mam in school used to star your best art, poem recitation , the curves of alphabet on paper Do you feel like you are queen of those interrogative phrases Do you find yourself foolish enough to check on the never changing constant blank circle on the screens chat app Do you randomly feel like drifting away from your goals Do you hit your head hard , In the middle of the crowd , To break this thoughts and come back to 23 October,2017 And its just 5:21 to think of this silly questions...

The shying words

How do you believe the moon isn't whispering your stories to someone aren't the chance of him whispering it to some writer high May be one of the reasons why you related to the story yesterday on Netflix May be that's how your crushes end up in your favorite color today May be that's how you cleared the interview today How do you know the moon isn't working on his script with your lines If you can believe someone that far How do we end up doubting the skin and flesh besides and around us If we don't hold expectations and grudges when it comes to him Why wonder for years over a message that din come through I don't understand how we whisper our secrets to the mountains and the sea but fear of losing them against the people we breathe with How do we trust the living forms breathing without the flesh over the living we can touch and feel How do I trust the paper with my words and strangers with my smiles With every question I pen I end of writing hope, belief, ...

3 Hours

Hurry babes it's getting late . The mind keeps on knocking. This is right , mail sent!. And only one more task in your stack. But then again the mind alarms; Dear it's just 30 mins to 4:00 Knocking down the work , taking a deep breath you run. But then that evening takes you miles away . The breeze is much more -a touch, at that moment. The word echoing inside the ear, Suddenly mean everything. Beyond than just a song! The girl besides you is in a more hurry. The man is fixed into his work still, Although outside the four walls of timelines. The driver is trying to head-out in the traffic. And you seated here but planning for, Exactly a moment that is hours beyond from now And suddenly that jerk puts you down back into the car. And the mind knocks again -baby its 5:00 . Terrified my the thought when will the bus arrival? and that very second nothing matters neither present nor past. All that matters is ll the bus arrive at earliest and if not then? An...
