The Picture above
*A poster on the bed wall of My sister's room.
*Personally, sleeping is not my favorite sport.
If i had my way, i would lie awake for 24 hours at a stretch.
*This poster was among a bunch of posters i had bought from Delhi once.
Not surprisingly, my sis never wanted any poster
but all those posters today are sticked on the walls of her room.

hazaaron Khvaahishen aisii
ki har Khvaaish pe dam nikale

bahut nikale mere armaaN
lekin phir bhii kam nikale

If i am Talking very fast on the phone :-
*There exists a great communication gap between us.
*90% cases the other party is at fault
*Another reason can be that there is very little time to talk
and a lot to tell.
AGain that points to the communication gap thing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nikalanaa Khud se aadam kaa
sunte aaye hain lekin

bahut beaabaruu hokar
tere kuuche se ham nikale

__________________________________________
If i am speaking very less on the phone
*I am in listening mood
*I have nothing constructive to say
*There is a very serious issue that has preoccupied my mind

_____________________________________________
muhabbat men nahiin hai
farq jiine aur marne kaa

usii ko dekh kar jiite hain
jis kaafir pe dam nikale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In our young days
* The landline was the only phone popular.
It was located in the most public places in the house
*That meant,WHatever you are saying on the phone,
is the cause of many people's amusement.
*There were less tensions and better communication.

3 indications that am pre-occupied at the moment
*I am talking in a grave tone
*Sentences are not complete
*I am in a hurry to keep the phone

KahaaN maiKhaane ka daravaazaa
'Ghalib' aur kahaaN vaaiz

par itanaa jaanate hain
kal vo jaataa thaa ke ham nikale

3 Telephone etiquettes i believe in
*When attending a call,don't attend it in front of other people.
Get up and go to some quieter place.
*Always call anyone whenever you are free.I mean completely free.
*Never attend a call while driving.Especially a two-wheeler.

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still pouring t...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
