To be or not to be?!

I’m screaming, can you hear me? Silent sobs have turned into loud cries for help. Cries that only I can hear. It is not that bad. Actually it is not bad at all, people have gone through worse, haven’t they? Why does this feel like the end of the world then? Been alone with my […]

Income inequality- II

Back in 1991 , when government owned most of the industries, there was a rising need for privatisation. This led to the formation of new companies in turn leading to liberalisation.

There are many problems that a country has to face economically and these challenges only get harder each day.

We tend to complicate things, taking the most difficult path hoping for it to become easy along the way. Somewhere in this long quest for happiness, we seemed […]

Exhausted or Stumped?

Coffee? Check. Hair in a messy bun? Check. Crumpled sheets on the side just for the aesthetic? Check. I sit all geared up with a new found motivation to finish what I started. To actually write one page at the least. I mean, how hard could it be? I’m literally just writing about me, my […]

Metaphorically mine – A poem

A thousand thoughts flash in front of meEverything that I hid from myself, never to see.Wondering why am I close to him and yet feel apart?Maybe it was always like this, maybe I forgot .He’s like […]

Mastering the art of low self confidence

As I lie unwillingly on the bed I start to think, How did all this begin? This is the forth time this month that I cancelled all the plans and decided to stay at the leisure of my own company. Why don’t I feel the need to go out and socialize like all other people […]

Jane Eyre: A classic that lives on

I wasnt really a big fan of classics until I read Jane Eyre. I bought this novel around 5 years back and got around to reading it just 3 years back, I realised what a gem I was missing out on. Back when I bought it, I was a kid who wanted to read an […]
