A Mixed Bag of Emotions- Asmi Aggarwal

Too many cooks spoil the broth, That’s why between emotions we get caught. Sometimes we cry and mourn, Sometimes we laugh from dusk ‘til dawn. Happiness doesn’t lie in following others, It lies in finding yourself, expanding your capabilities further.…

The Writer’s Trial- Tanishq Khurana

My pen’s tip belaboured the paper, Letting the ink seep into its deep pits. It transfixed the pages to form fatuous words, It engulfed the white in its blue blood. The words, as though rising from the dead, Stood up…
