My cup of coffee

A cup of Coffee I wish

To stave off the creeping cold in me

To lessen the chills of the weather

And more of the hopelessness life brings with it.


A cup of Coffee I need

and my favourite book to read.

A day on pause 

No plans in tow

Or distractions in sight.

No friends or foe to entertain 

Just my Coffee and me.

No goals or deadlines to grasp

A warm cup in my hands

And my solitude keeping me company.


A cup of Coffee I need

Not questioning me for the beans I chose

Or judging me for the cups I devour.

A cup of Coffee is all I need today

Warm, inviting and bitter

It never hid its bitterness or aroma

For those few connoisseur

That deemed it precious after all.

LOVE: An explosion of contrast

Image
LOVE  An emotion that's long controlled hearts, souls & sanity Simple yet so so complex Afraid to lose, yet brave enough to fight the world Effortlessly full of effort.  In the wrong hands, it drains our very essence  In the right heart, it overflows and blooms Sometimes it makes our eyes sore Yet can suddenly make our hearts soar. It can slowly encroach the stoniest of souls  Encompassing their whole being.  We lose ourselves in it Yet some find their life's purpose in it. You feel you are falling in love  But then it makes one feel like they are flying high!! Love can often shatter you into pieces But it's love that then puts us back together again.  We love each other blatantly and fully rarely can we love ourselves in equal measure. Love, it comes in all forms and matter. It slowly and steadily creeps in  And catches us all unaware. No one can escape its trap It ensnares the loneliest and the strongest of us all.

My Happy ending

Image
Who is my happy ending? Like in the movies n romcom  We walk towards the sunset with..... Is it my lovers who changed as the seasons change? Or my progeny I see drifting apart with growth? Is it my parents who I barely have a conversation with anymore? Or my siblings entwined in their own life? Maybe it's my besties I get together once in a while to discuss life over coffee I must say they come the closest to the one I bare my soul to. Still I don't envision myself walking towards the horizon Holding hands with any of them till the end Maybe I walk the path all alone and sad Seems so miserable n anticlimactic.  But the one thats been with me till the end Is my own soul And this body of mine That I disdained and mistreated for so long It's held my hands through pain and sorrow  laughed with me in my joy and success. It's dieted with me  and enjoyed binging and coffee dates It's the one that stayed through the highs and lows The one that knows me inside out The one th...

MILLENNIALS: Time to find ourselves

Image
One day, as our fathers, forefathers and mothers kept renouncing the generational gap, somebody woke up and chose violence. He/ she decided that it's high time we acknowledge and label different generations, hence the "" millennials "" came to be. A sad lost and hopeless generation, stuck between the past and present, analog and digital, artificial and organic, duty and love, wokeness and traditional. We have seen a lot of changes around but not within us. We saw food shift from natural homegrown to artificial and chemical laden. Now we search for overpriced, chemical-free and organic sustenance. We moved from rearing cattle with our parents to becoming lactose intolerant as we age. From postcards and letters we slowly came to perfunctory statuses and WhatsApp messages. From sleeping on chatai on rooftops with cousins in summers, we moved to air-conditioned isolation chambers. We spent our vacations playing on the roads and gullies with friends and cousins. No...
