You would think that kissing people for a living, or rather, in my case, for a dying, is all it is made up to be. But let me tell you, as someone who has been doing this for eternity, it is not. It is a thankless job.Yama sighed. "Why does it have to be a … Continue reading Kissing Booth, Exit Only

Book of I
The last light of the day bled out of the sky, Sajit and Guna leaned against the ruins of a forgotten civilization they had once seen rise and fall. To the ordinary eye, they would appear as two simple archaeologists on an excavation mission but beneath the surface of their weathered skin, thousands of years … Continue reading Book of I
Bananana Split
It was a quiet cold night, a rare break from the usual chaos, no echoing mad laughter or stray penguins braying in the streets. Vinny prowled through the dark alley, flicking his switchblade open and shut, feeling tougher than he probably should. He just made a big score, selling fake Bane signed posters "You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it". He had gotten some decent cash and a taste of respect on the streets. Tonight, he was after a much bigger prize.
This Is Not About Writing
I write,Sometimes in fragments,Sometimes in flowing stories,Sometimes for myself,Sometimes for you,Sometimes for no one at all. I write,About the things that shape me,About dreams just out of reach,About the laughter that lingers,About the ordinary moments,About everything that slips away unnoticed. I write,To remember what matters,To share parts of myself,To know I’m here, in these words,To … Continue reading This Is Not About Writing
Rakshashi Curse #3
The sound of ocean waves crashing against the shore was the only thing that broke the silence as Kunal walked alone on the beach that morning. He had come early, needing time to reflect before starting his day. The sand felt cool beneath his feet, and the early sunlight shimmered across the water. He was … Continue reading Rakshashi Curse #3
Two of Not-A-Kind
We have two lives, the second begins when we realize we only have one. In the first life, we tread with care, Bound by fears, we rarely dare. We strive for more, yet miss the sight,Of simple joys, the pure delight.Time, we think, is endless, vast, We will find peace, but not too fast. In … Continue reading Two of Not-A-Kind
Lost Within
In a distant time, far from here, between his heart and the world, he discovered love. It wasn't the kind that said "I am yours, you are mine." Instead one that yelled "Against the entire world, I choose you." So he did what any lovestruck soul would do: He abandoned the world for her. Somewhere … Continue reading Lost Within
Rakshashi Curse #2
The next morning, Kunal woke up and sat on the edge of his bed for a long time, replaying his conversations with Rashmi. At least ten lines from their talk could go straight into his book. Talking with her was like a breath of fresh air for his creativity; she was his muse. He remembered … Continue reading Rakshashi Curse #2
Rakshashi Curse #1
She was sitting on his bed, reading one of his older novels, the first one he ever wrote, the one that launched him to fame. It was her fifth time reading it. He had asked her why she liked that particular one. Did she connect with the female character's name, seeing as they both shared it—Rashmi!
Off The Top of My Head
And I escape reality For there is sorrow in me And I escape reality For there is no where else to be.

Under A Different Star
Do you remember that moonlit night?The night we saw together,When the winter cold blanketed and brought us closer,The cosmic magic that was singing in your eyes as you looked into mine,Of how you squeezed my hands as I kissed your lips. I went home that day as a new me,Reborn in the ashes of your … Continue reading Under A Different Star
Will of Fire/A Desire in Dire
Red fluid oozed from my feet, onto the pavement below, staining it crimson. This is not the path that I thought,Thorns as sharp as blade, pricked, pierced, pained, spilling flesh over stone. This is not the place I sought,Misery in the form of unhappiness, agony in the form of suffering. This is not the dream … Continue reading Will of Fire/A Desire in Dire
Writing About Writing
The call was placed at two in the night. He answered it with the same annoyed tone he used to answer his calls “This better be good" “Nishant, listen, I have been going through your past works and I really wanted to ask you something” she said “What is it?” He could spare few minutes … Continue reading Writing About Writing
Words Whispered in Doubt
If death was my goal, I had certainly found the wrong path, for I wasn’t dying; I was being rescued. But the process was still killing me. Pain bubbled at the bottom of my stomach and surged up to my vocal cords, making me want to shout, to scream. I would have, if it weren’t … Continue reading Words Whispered in Doubt
Heights of Boredom
He willed every iota of his power to work on getting rid of hunger, the other six proved easy, for they were all but constrains of the mind, but this, this was a constraint on the body. It had been seven months since he took his position in the rough cut stone cave, seven months … Continue reading Heights of Boredom
