'She stared dreamily out of the window as she rocked her chair, watching the time that became so stagnant in old age falling outside in the form of autumn shedding its leaves. A half remembered song, she started to hum; a song that tuned itself out of those pale, withered lips when they actually belonged somewhere else- a large rambling house with sloped roof and a haphazard garden at the back. A tall woman with her saree slipping from her head baring a high, smooth forehead smiling (...)'

The Mirage...

'Your persisting image haunts my world-my unblinking eyes trace your virtual steps;choking with dust as the ashes fly,and you take a sudden flight.Congenitally congenial I was;this sudden silence of my mind,questions the purpose of my heartweighed down it is-by shackles of confusion you create.I talk in loops,weave a mindless maze,tangle myself in my own weblike a spider mistaking its own prey.Forced is my restrain,my resolve is the candle in a stormbarely alive,but still therefighti(...)'

'So the Mechanics second internal test had to be the WORST exam ever in the history of my exam-giving. I had never bothered to open the text book till the night before the test and my goodness!! There was this avalanche of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics chapters whose names I was seeing for the first frickin time in my entire life.I sometimes wonder what the hell I do in the CLASS. Ok, so I and Huttu spent most of our time in Mechanics class gossiping, discussing Harry Potter via(...)'

'Yet another horrendous crime. Yet another girl suffering a fate she did nothing to deserve. Yet another monster unveiled and unstopped. Yet another incident crying for justice.I sometimes wonder what kind of country we live in. I sometimes wonder what should we do to make men respect women. I sometimes wonder if that is even possible.Let me not go into the terrible terrible stuff that is happening nationally. Let me give you an example of what I experienced personally. I f(...)'

'After much thought and speculation, I and Arpita came to a very depressing realization. Facebook had ruined our life. Well not Facebook entirely, spending too much time on the internet in general might have resulted in the 'degrading quality of our live'. I mean seriously. If I think back to the time when I was in class 9 or 10 when I had no internet access, my life used to be GOOD. I used to go outside, play, have fun at school, attend the one tuition I had and have fun doing (...)'

'Adventure #1- Counting CardsTiny, as she was so named in a fit of humor by her elder brother, fancied herself as the daughter of a royal couple with her brother playing the role of a sibling cum bodyguard. She imagined herself having a grand room papered in pinks and blues, like she had seen in fairytales on the Disney channel. Tiny didn’t know her real age, or rather, she pretended she didn’t so when someone kneeled to get to her head level (she was really tiny you see) a(...)'

College Rants- Alumni Meet: The woeful Aftermath.

'College is one hell of serious place. Pity that it has taken me one and a half semester to understand this. I have landed myself into more misunderstandings than I have in my 17 years of prior life. College is serious because whatever you say or do casually or just for fun’s sake backfires and hits you on your face when you least expect it.Something like that happened to me a few days ago and I don’t know who to talk with, who to share with. I wrote this two days back, the very nigh(...)'

'Shadows I guard in graves of dark,broken things I hide in places I wont find,peep like disaster seeking scraps of debris;like sun seeking cracks of light.Flowers that wilt but wont fall,like the dry paper skin on my heart.Quickly becoming a shroud on my soul,turning thoughts into a lifeless gore.Strikes on paper like barbed wires at the border,sucking away the current of my words,stare at me with mocking wonder-What I was and what I have become.An excited heart I cant control,Spinni(...)'

If from the title anyone is expecting a mushy mushy story of how a tall, hot guy with a husky voice(like Jason wade’s) gave me a bunch of  roses and I blushed a color deeper than the flowers in my hand, then they might better stop reading here already :DThere is nothing but disappointment ahead then. A love life can’t be expected from me anyways :PSo though I wasn’t the one fitting into the above description, a few girls from m(...)'

A very confused girl

'I couldn't sleep last night. And that is very unusual for a person like me. I can sleep in any kind of surrounding possible; I just need a pillow over my eyes, one under my head and one to hold on to :DBut despite the fulfillment of my sleeping criteria, I couldn't sleep last night. It has something to do with the extreme turmoil in my head I think. And this gives me a sense of deja vu. Well not deja vu really because something very similar to this(...)'

'Inspiration, that fragile thread ruling the pattern of creativity, doesn’t always need to be hard-hitting. Anything subtle like the moist wind grazing your cheek or the softly sung words of a song that makes your heart skip a beat works just as fine; anything that forces you to put your pen down on paper and tell a story.It is really strange how you come across muse unexpectedly sometimes. You search in vain for it across the world when it was right in front of your eyes all the tim(...)'
