My Best Friend

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

The shining moondrops dance around your lips, as the winds start fiddling with you hair. You stretch a little and hold on closer to him. And he speeds into the silent night. He is warm and you feel him seeping into you. The road is slick with the recent rains. And it’s getting colder. But he is warm. You are warm. And comfortable.

The trees wave at you as you More

The End

When I was One,
I had just begun.

I was nearly new.

Pandemonium

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

Life whirls… past you. And you stand by, bracing yourself, looking it go past.

Where are you? It is unfamiliar turf. You do not belong. Yet you want to stay. Reason says you need to run as fast as you can and get the hell out. But this small voice in your More

Blackholes

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

I haven’t written for so long now that I’m almost afraid that the keys wont punch under my fingers and that they would suddenly have a mind of their own and write things that I didn’t intend in the first place. But comprehension, I believe, has never been a problem.

When something burns, a cloud of smoke lifts up to find its redemption amongst the blues of the sky. The things on fire keep turning to ash, sending more and more smoke to its redemption.
When everything settles down, there are still tiny embers hidden in the ashes, striving for their existance. Reminds me of some verse that I More

Lolita

Posted in Excerpts by K.

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.

What We Heard About the Japanese

Posted in Poems by K.

We heard they would jump from buildings
at the slightest provocation: low marks

On an exam, a lovers’ spat
or an excess of shame.

Bees

Posted in Poems by K.

You voluble,
Velvety
Vehement fellows
That play on your
Flying and
Musical cellos,
All goldenly
Girdled you
Serenade clover,
Each artist in
Bass but a
Bibulous rover!

A mosquito was heard to complain

Posted in Poems by K.

A mosquito was heard to complain
That a chemist had poisoned his brain
The cause of his sorrow
Was paradichloro
Diphenyltrichloroethane.

One last Time

Posted in Figments, Neha Jhingon by Neha

He came knocking on my door at half past two in the morning. Parichay was in deep sleep so I slipped out. He looked good. As always.Smelling so vanilla. If only he had not got married 4 days ago. And I had not got married 2 years ago.

Its been almost two years since I last saw him. It was a different world then. We were young then. Today though it seems More

And Nothing Remains

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

My trysts with the pigeons have become a daily routine. I have started ignoring them. Their stray feathers and droppings don’t bother me. At least the ant infestation is fixed. There are times when I feel I could do with a man around the house.

I hate fixing up things. Its not my thing. I hate having to stand on a stool to hang things. He wouldn’t have had to. I hate driving up alone More

I Am Not Yours

Posted in Poems by Neha

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
