TWENTY-FIVE REASONS WHY I LOVE YOU(In no particular order)
25. You never fail to give help to someone who needs it. Shobana recently said, “Swapna would give the last dollar she had to me” and I don’t doubt it for a second. Whether it is listening to Eisha’a ridiculous boy problems, or trying to help Usman with his abundance of issues, or just helping me with 8th grade...

Addicted- Morgan Page ft. Greg Laswell
She lay in her bedroom, an escape from the fumigation chamber she had turned the rest of her flat into. She had, no doubt, been attempting to douse her soul with the chemicals necessary to berid it of the vermin past. But no degree of carcinogen could create the exocytosis necessary to feel right. She lay in her bedroom and failed to find a single permutation of pillows and blankets to make it...

the fucked generation.
We are the fucked generation. That’s what they should call us. There were babyboomers, and beatniks. But we- we are the fucked generation
Generation Z. Z for Zero. The New Silent Generation. A Generation of Submission. and satyagraha gone wrong.
Fucked so many times, the vulgar ejaculations of all the world are dribbling out our mouths and down our chins.
The world at our fingertips....

8 to 6.
I’m painting my nails the color of lies from now on.
Somewhere in my wild gesticulations, the ones that sculpt a big bubbly facade made of air, they’ve become hypnotized by smiles and the subtle crescendos of laughter that zig zagging their way out of smog filled lungs.
Why not? The only thing more fleeting than first impressions is the truth.
I suck my coffee down at the oasis of...

the rub of the dreamer.
God meets you at the exact moment your dreams manifest into reality-in one divine second.
The subtle kiss of a spectre, the expanse of some daunting foreign terrain, the gargantuan theatre production taking place on the stage of a single synapse- they are the milleu for nervous angels and frenetic devils dropping little longings like mass print pamphlets.
But the moment, the exact moment, that a...

learning to love the fool in me.
Go ahead and try, but it’s futile. You will whiff the fragile petal of some misery you thought you had gotten rid of in the middle of a dust-covered road. In mid-guffaw, you’ll run your tongue over your teeth and find the tiniest bit of melancholy lodged in the minute space between your molars. You’ll look in the mirror and see it run through your head, peeping briefly out the...

The bustling dust dome of a city teases your madness out of remission.
Clinging to cement heavens throwing wreaths of laughter down to the spit soaked humanity below.
Imagining the hole in your flat was a black wardrobe that took you into a neighboring world of filth, sex, and espionage.
Watching with secret hope that a family of four falls off their carefully calibrated motorcycle and that...

call it whatever you like.
Weariness hung from their limbs like diaphanous garments now-off a chiseled shoulder carved back into poignancy. The grotesque corpulence of a depression that seeped into their skin and stretched it taught with despair had been drained and its stead was left a new silhoutte akin to purpose- atrophy of the best sort.
There is a profound story in the fatigue that laces you body when it has walked...
Hmmm. I’m ok. Astounding.

devils in the details
Do you pay any heed to the dense air that stalks you in your dreams?
It laments every whispered plea you let drop from your lips and into upturned hands.
Trust me. the steps you plant like seeds of conviction in the cracks of the pavement you worry will fracture someone’s back are the most unfortunate to this sinister element.
You slay it with the stream of supplications that pour forth...

why my sisters hate me.
Rameya: damn thine alliteration
me: it is my success
Rameya: may you tosseth in the trash
me: it all started with my birth
when i was given teh first alliterative s- family name
s- sh-
it was alliteration
masked
by phoenetic dissimilarity
but alliteration nonetheless
and thus.
the saga began.

You don’t fucking know me. And it’s my fault.
How dare we, she thought. How dare we even suggest we know something so divine. Something someone probably doesn’t even know about themselves. How dare we.
If you took the summation of all the meaningless shit I said, would that be the algorithm for you to know me. Simple integration will give you the solution to my soul, of...

ode to dali
If only living were wholly visible, from start to finish, a canvas. Then we’d have no excuses, right?
Our pupils would shame the finest brush with their microscopic neuromuscular strokes.
Our ventricles would splatter our blood, sweat and tears with more entropy than any pollack
If only we didn’t have to dream up the sharp lines of color connecting one smile with a hug with a...

fire-breathing.
You wouldn’t like me. She thought. If you knew.
No, I mean really knew.
You wouldn’t like me at all, if you knew how angry I get.
If you knew that my tongue bifurcates when I get pissed. That it splits like a snake and venom spews from its apex, into the face of the unfourtunate victim.
“Bitch” takes on a mythic poignancy for me. It makes words like...
