The Mirror

During one of the power lunches, two weeks ago, there was a talk about mirror. How we look at others and how it’s actually a reflection of ourselves. I haven’t written any new poetry in a long while, they’ve been coming far in few in between, and definitely not on a positive platform. So I’m […]

Playful Innocence

I want to go to a toy store,
hunt down a toy that I have in my mind.
I want to cheer when I have found it,
hold it in my hands with nothing but excitement.
I want to ask for permission to have it,

We live in a world
where singers are mere faces
that execute the art of lip synchronisations
but […]

Time and Us

In this mindful existentialism, are we wasting time here or is time wasting us?
