She didn't get her children the stars they asked for.
She educated them and made them fly to the constellations
They always dreamed of.
My mother is an angel. She never gave us all we asked for. She made us work for it. As a result, my sibling and I always work for something. Today, we realise our mother's words are true, and nothing in life comes easy.
You have to earn rewards.
A tribute to my mother, who works hard for me everyday....

to find my tizzights
Today is a good day.

Born from expectations
Born for expectations
Born with expectations

Expectations rule us
They rule you

Don’t let them.

I'm letting go of the person I knew
Of you
Of myself
The hurt never lead to freedom
But the key
Was always there
//On her//

The tortuous winds of time rallied around my mind, circling in spheres unknown; I tried stepping out several times to fall into rabbit holes: I held up my hands for help, He lifted me and am saved...

dream hammock for the lovers
shall never be reached.

A nation that builds its future on
Its past is a dead nation.
A soul is all you needed to be human,
I tell the ape,
that God blessed us with upon divergence
when he made us lose our tails
but forked us into different routes
in his flash of magnificence
morphing us into a super entity
but pitifully
depriving you of that edge.

A soul, I assert with satisfaction,
would've kept you out of this cage.

You might not have even noticed it,
I hated the grin on its face,
yours has only some wider space
by God's will,
so you wouldn't easily feel
your soul's losing the way in the maze.

But a cage, is a cage, is a cage..

Valentine
Come well in time
Bring transparency and
Taste of ginger decoction
Freshness of fennel seeds
Sweetness of jaggery
Be my life's luxury
