Lockdown Let a Bird Out
A shell of a girl dragged her body to school - morning after morning, regretting every breath. A smart child was sent cowering back to her shell, where she built a fortress to push the world off her head. This was the girl as a child. Year after year, she searched for this child, till yearning and mourning led to utter despair. Seeing no way of return to her past self, she lost all hope and waited for the end. Her self became contemptuous and life a burden. She felt misplace

INTROVERT THINGS - MANAGING FLUCTUATING SOCIAL BATTERY LEVELS AT EVENTS
In this post I'm gonna list down a few interesting observations and some peculiar enjoyments of mine from attending a college event.Before I move on with that, I find it necessary to give you a small insight into my personality. I am an ambivert. I can’t call myself a complete introvert because I occasionally have my socially active, ultra extrovert moments. So yea, we ambiverts can be unpredictable, even to ourselves. So any eccentricity you find in my thoughts are purely b

MY FIRST HALL EVENT - A DAY SPENT AS A FAKE HALL RESIDENT
Before I start yapping about my day, it is important to clarify here that I didn't 'pretend' to be a hall resident. I chose the term for my title because it sounded cheeky and I liked it. Trust me, it is nearly impossible to pass off as a member of any of the halls in my college. Unlike the typical college hostels I have come across, every one of the six halls in my college has a rich tradition. You will easily stand out as an outsider unless you know their chants, anthems, a

I hear it again, her wails That strikes my chest, From within. She holds my heart, Her fingers squeezing To push out the anguish. She is reaching out to whom? So desperately…and furiously! It is just me, the night, and the moon here. Twisting and turning I'm tangled in the sheets Like caught by a snake. It's cold, so cold… But within, it’s colder Like a mortuary. I’m the one She is choking Yet, we both can’t breathe. She is fighting my mind That neglected our heart And

HAIKU AND KAWAI
Genre - Romance, Slice of Life. Year - 2021 Director - Kyohei Ishiguro Scriptwriter- Kyohei Ishiguro I chose to watch this movie because of its title - Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pops. Bubbles and soda gave summer vibes and the first thing I noticed as the movie began was the bright and vibrant colors. The haiku beautifully illustrates the development of thoughts, feelings, and ideas in our minds and how they translate into words. So yes, the movie is about expression, communi

NEVER AGAIN
I wish to visit the brightly lit town of my long-buried memories. But I am afraid to pass by the dark alleys of my buried hopes. Memories are often mixed up, such that we cannot separate the good from the bad. My destination is a small place surrounded by miles of misery, where I wish not to set foot on. If I take a peek into my pouch of happiness, it might pull me into a universe of pain. Not looking back is the wisest choice. The choice of the logical mind. But th
