Round and Round

Posted in Poems by Kunal Goel

After a long and wretched flight
That stretched from daylight into night,
Where babies wept and tempers shattered
And the plane lurched and whiskey splattered
Over my plastic food, I came
To claim my bags from Baggage Claim

It’s All Coming Back

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

I’m learning how to fall in love with the endless surprises that life brings everyday. Destiny… Never much believed it. But At one precise moment, it all unfolds and you realize… It’s all coming back to me now…

If you have a talent

Posted in Quotes by Kunal Goel

If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don’t hoard it. Don’t dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

Where Or When

It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But i can’t remember where or when

V: I bumped into some girl yesterday.

R: You lucky bastard… did you bang her?

R: Huh? Who is she? Do I know her.

V: I think you do. You met her two years ago, when she was studying. You flew over to see her too.

Back From The Dead

Posted in Figments, Neha Jhingon by Neha

It’s been 4 months since they brought his body to my doorstep. Three days after I reported him missing. He came back. In a gunny sack. He had turned almost blue in colour and his body had shrivelled from being afloat in the lake for three days. They found him entangled in some weeds, by what I was told. I had watched in horror as they took him. Chanting, crying, calling. I stayed home when they burnt him to ashes. I couldn’t bear to see the man I have loved all these years, turn to char. Yes. I am a weakling. More

The Way You Look Tonight

Posted in Songs by Neha

Someday when i’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you’re lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight

The Waiting Doors

Posted in Figments, Neha Jhingon by Neha

I lay still, trying not to breathe too hard, propped up on an elbow, watching him as he spoke on the phone with his sister. He left a few words hanging in the air, smelling of smoke. He has not changed a bit. And I have not changed a bit too, I remind myself, smiling. Nothing has changed. And yet everything is different. He bends a little more, asserting another bundle of smoky words. He has definitely packed a few pounds around his waist. I drink him in leisurely with my eyes. More

Dilli Meri Jaan

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

I close my eyes to think of her… It’s been a while and life has been moving on, though sometimes I do miss her terribly. We’ve had a love hate relationship, she and I. I slammed some doors and turned my back on her for good. But I missed her all the while. She was waiting, like always and even though I liked to believe that I had an upper hand, that my life was moving on, I knew… I was incomplete without her. She was always like the girlfriend who was too clingy. But of late, she has become something of a mistress, to whom I have to keep returning to, to gratify myself. It’s been a long time… More

Cardiac blues

Posted in Ali Sultan, Poems by Kunal Goel

A house painted red
with your favourite gate and some flowers
a library full of books and wood
and love, hidden
out of sight
