इश्क़ का मैंने ज़हर पिया था
दवा नहीं थी किसी के पास।

तेरी यादें भी दफना दी
मैंने अपनी कब्र के पास।

The Conclusion
Depressed
She googled words like effusive, delirious, and wondered what it would feel like to be there. Will she have the freedom to break something accidentally in her own house, and not be reprimanded for it? Will she go to bed thinking that another day could be better?

The Grim Reaper is Waiting
Several things are certain in life and among them are death and taxes. I worked at a funeral parlor, doing odd things like greeting guests, cleaning up and helping the mortician lift the dead bodies into the caskets. Everybody deals with depressing things in different ways and for some people, it helps to laugh and in this place morbid jokes were always present.

The old man smiled at his favorite son, in half-conscious state, mind de-capacitated by dementia. He looked at his late wife’s picture and said, “She did a good job of raising the children. They are my ‘diamonds’.” He died a few hours later, without knowing that the tenderness he saw was merely the professional bedside … Continue reading Diamonds
Denizens of Darkness
Puffy, fluffy monstrosities in the shape of clouds swooped on Planet Earth. The grey devils carried within them an overload of evil, ready to rain on the world, and inject the poison into the world constitution. The Earth used to receive these lethal outpourings in small doses, but the mind-sets of its denizens gradually changed. … Continue reading Denizens of Darkness
