The Untold Story

Disclaimer: This is again a poem that I wrote during my recent love-related experiences. It does not have much bearing now, but I love it somehow. I hope you enjoy it too!



Things have not been right

I'm faltering to reach the light
The light that will cut me up
And then tear me to the core

There was a time I felt unloved
Which someone tried to undo
I broke their heart instead
Oh, what a silly agony to bear!

They are happy I hope
Found the one to fulfill their longing
While I sit writing this
The unsung side of a story no one hears

The story of an anxious boy
Dying to see the light of day
All he did always
T'was hope and pray

The boy who never left home
Fearing the claws of the doom
The doom that only awaits 
Awaits for someone like him

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...
