2020 / Hindsight / Poem

Retrospect – Ichcha Walia

I sit back and retrospect today, What is the thing that stayed? Even on the days you didn’t, And on the days I couldn’t.   It was love all this while, Stayed in bits and pieces, Even on the days…

The Eyes – Jasmann Narang
2020 / Hindsight / Poem

The Eyes – Jasmann Narang

Look clearly, at those eyes. With dark circles and a visage; sapped, Belonging to the pestering mother. Delusioned into a happy life; trapped Like clockwork, with dedication she works her life away. Into and through the veins of the eyes,…

How Does a Moment Last Forever? – Ananya Mishra

Sometimes I can’t decide if the present Is really where I want to reside, Instead of those chosen moments of bliss Like that serenely exotic day at the beach, Where my hair were the waves And my soul was sun-kissed.…

Jar of Joy – Ananya Mishra

There once was a little boy, Who lived in a strange cottage; A shiny glass bottle was his favourite toy And his clothes were all different shades of beige   Every morning, after eating a bowl of porridge, He’d trot…

The Adventures of Mr. Teddy and I – Meher Narula
2020 / Poem / Within the Surreal

The Adventures of Mr. Teddy and I – Meher Narula

This poem has been inspired by the “dress-up” games played by children, where they let their imagination run wild, imagining themselves as valiant knights or regal queens. Today, I thought that we should also let ourselves be swept away in…

Conquering the Unfamiliar – Aayushi Bawa

One afternoon I said to myself, “Why isn’t fate more sure?” Never forget the fluky and insecure fate.   The horizon is not bright! The horizon is exceptionally dumb. Never forget the bleak and dumb horizon.   A posterity, however…

Abate the Unabated – Arshia Khanna

Fading Faces – Savyasachi Singh

They survive their days, And they close their nights, With their gaze all a daze, When they can’t stand upright. They hunger the eyes of the world, Rustling fingers against rusted walls, But are hidden, and left unseen or unheard,…

Shattering Shackles – Jasmann Singh Narang

The hand is moored, into and beyond the rails, Perspiration throughout the body has ceased,  The time for rumination has gone, As defunct and departed your soul may seem, With postulation of self-made notions of grandeur, Prepossessed by the whim…

Catalysts of Change – Piyush Senapati

We’re the novice generation of young revolutionaries, The teenage Gandhis, young Lenins and Mussolinis. Trying to fix a future bursting at its seams, We weave tapestries with our hopeful dreams. When hellfire razed the Amazon, For our planet’s salvation we…

Canvas – S. Mysha Urooj

Staring at the canvas, How can we fill it? Glaring the pallet, The paints sit still. A breath in, eyes closed. Picking up the paintbrush, Now no turning back. The beauty of the darkness hypnotizes, Captures one as if a…

In the scorching heat they walk. In the thundering rain they walk. Blisters appear and smiles disappear. But they have to reach, so they walk. Hunger becomes their new friend And water their worst enemy but they walk. Four becomes…

Wrath of Nature – Mira Sehgal

She used to pluck ripe fruits from her neighbour’s yard—my grandmother tells me. She used to admire tiny butterflies, carelessly drifting through the wind, leaving behind a trail of colour and gentleness. She would wear a petunia behind her ear,…

Burning City – Tanishq Khurana

Delhi wasn’t just burning, it was screaming and begging for mercy. Its feet soaked in gasoline, ashes substitute tickles. With the spark of communalism and fascist narratives, Politicians grinned as they set ablaze the heart of a billion souls. Blocked…

In the midst of always gathering and bothering, We all have forgotten what we are shattering, All we have ever done is hampering. Nurturing nature at first, Then snatching everything unto the thrust. It all started with obtaining for a…
