Broken hearts, tethered souls

Broken hearts, tethered souls
Never undone, never old
Fighting the tears back
I need you here
Going around in circles
Faltering evermore
I had a dream of never falling apart
Of ever loving you, forever, so far
Of beating around the bush, for that yes
But soon found out, you were just like the rest
The rest in my life
Who left me high and dry
I thought you might be it
But now I think, was it even worth a try
You have someone with you now
Someone who got to you first
Before I came around
It’s obvious I think that he is the lucky one
He has the heart I needed
He has the soul I like the most
He has the one I will remember
For which I have strived the most
Losing my sleep, in those dreams
I want to die a handsome rose
With no one around to love me like that
It’s a wasted life to live, I suppose?

Movie Review: Sometimes

The other day, after watching Dhobi Ghat for the second time, Netflix suggested that I watch a Tamil movie called Sometimes (Tamil: Sila Samayangalil ).

The counter lady finds out only half the information—one of the seven people is HIV-positive. Rather than relieving their stress, it increases the protagonists’ necessity to know the results. This is the basic plot, literally the one displayed on Netflix.  This 2018 movie has the coveted Prakash Raj and Nasser. Prakash Raj, as usual, gives a stellar performance, whereas Nasser is present on screen for barely fiv...

The Call

A Short Story (This is my first attempt at a short story.) She kept turning in her bed, right to left and left to right; sleep had abandoned her tonight. All she could think of was the kiss—the affection she felt, followed by a rush of dejection. She had never kissed a boy before. The butterflies she felt afterwards were incomparable to anything she’d felt ever before. The satisfaction was extraordinarily calming and soothing—something a monk meditating for ages would feel at nirvana. She was the epitome of love and love had become her. Or at least she thought. It had been two hours since the “incident.” Her heart was still beating fast, but she wasn’t hyperventilating anymore. Just as things seemed to be coming back to normalcy, the phone rang and then rang some more. She saw the caller ID and gasped. There came a glimmer in her eyes. It was him! Her friend of seven years. Her partner in crime. “Hey...” she answered. “Hey Ruth! I called to see if you’re ok... You ju...
