Shades Of Growth


 And just like that we grew up 

From playing in our verandas to managing a whole new life alone ,that's growth

From being used to the conventionalized experience of formal education to managing a whole lot of cultural, social, intellectual and personal transition on your own ,that's growth  

Something just completely changed your life but you  have to accept and go on, that's growth

Sometimes change is scary ,but change is growth

You start having new perspectives about stuffs ,that's growth

Hoping and continue to do out of the box things to prove yourself how strong you are ,that's growth

From just being insecure about your flaws to accepting and carrying them with grace as your imperfections make you unique, that's growth

Breaking out of your comfort place and getting involved in different ,new and unexplored parts of society ,that's growth

From being carefree at times to being responsible for all the decisions you make in your life alone ,that's growth

From being extremely excited about something to getting a reality check but still being modest about it, that's growth 

From relying on someone for everything to not caring about other people's opinion and prioritising yourself, that's growth

Understanding that there's always something unexplored and something new to learn and having passion to explore every genre ,that's growth

Maybe there's someone not resonating with your thoughts but being ok with it as people will have different opinions , that's growth 

You might not feel like working on something but still motivating yourself to do it anyways, that's growth 

There are moments when you feel very low or giving up on something but keeping yourself calm and content to stay there and do it, that's growth 

Not everyone comes to stay but some come and go just to help you grow 

Teaching your heart to take disappointment even from the people you love, that's growth

From doubting yourself to respecting your opinion, that's growth 

Understanding that being truthful is more beautiful than being a people pleaser, that's growth 

From just seeing the negative side in every situation to getting out of it and taking away something positive to improve, that's growth

Understanding the fact that many will come to take benefits from you but you should set your limits as not everyone deserves your vibe, that's growth 

Above all this knowing what you want ,how to act, whom to talk and setting your priorities with you on top of it, that's growth 

Belong to yourself first before belonging to others

And that's how we grew up!!!

Dying with Borderline

The face I see in the mirror of the woman looking at me feels foreign. I look at her while I dissociate. Are we the same? Do I live inside of her, or does she control me? Every waking moment, a thought creeps up: Is she sane? Am I ruining her life? What if I merge with her? Is that even possible? We look the same, yet we have no sense of familiarity. I fail to recognize her on most days. The picture she took a week ago seems so different; is that her real smile? Does her nose crinkle up? The ghost of me walks through the hallways of the college, smiling at people, sometimes strangers.  I have lost all control over her. We are two different beings now. The third one who recognizes her shows up some days, but we don't let her stay. She dared to call me a monster while all I did was protect her. She knows she doesn't deserve love. We know it's never coming our way. Her trying to look pretty only gets her looked at, stared at, and objectified. But we know that's the closest...

WILL YOU BE THERE ?

  Sometimes we just crave for someone's presence When a thousand thoughts cross the mind, The time passes just to rewind, Will you be there ? When the night is dark And the day is darker, When the words are sharp But the thoughts are sharper, Will you be there ? When in the best of situations Nothing seems right, When the days are scarier than the night, Being my twilight, Will you be there ? When in cloudy skies  I can't see the moon, I'll have my own  When you will be here, Will the time come soon ? And when the stars align The moments are rare, When we both have time Will you be there ?                                       ~ Akshita

A bliss and surge in D

I happened to be alive. I happened to be aware and hoped to be conscious and in control of myself when I decided to visit D2. What is D2? Where is D2? It’s nowhere. Nowhere can be anywhere; anywhere with no name attached to it, anywhere that’s not anticipating to be noticed, anywhere which is desperate for your attention, anywhere may be beyond within or within beyond, or it may just be no where. What I did was – give a stage to my imagination and let it create a figment. Then I included it in my thoughts, provided it my flesh and soul. It started to get a structure as it found shelter against reality within me. I call it D. But my imagination, showcasing its dominance and control of my thought and eventually my reality made me believe, and I still do believe that D is not complete yet. It is enough the way it is. It is content being a part of me. Still it’s awaiting to embrace something that’s not me and yet it is nowhere. I am really sanguine about finding that. I would like D to fee...

Immoral Clown

          I have the conscience of a human. This much I know for I seem to have memories. I know about memories and what they are from my memories itself. It is such a loop that the proof of my knowledge and the reason - why I am the way I am consists within the reason itself. It’s like I’m inside water and I know that I’m inside water, but without actually understanding that the ecosystem thrives beyond too. It must not be making sense right? Well, it definitely won’t for I am a clown. No disrespect to those in the human society; I am talking about being a Clown Fish. It’s strange to even imagine but that’s who I am - now. It’s like Kafka’s metamorphosis. No, I won’t flatter myself. That’s an incorrect comparison and you’ll know why soon.                          I remember being a lawyer. The profession surmounted to me somehow sleeping peacefully every night; but my days were always busy. I ...

The Gaza Conflict & India's stand on it.

 In the shadow of history's darkest chapters, Gaza and Israel have become synonymous with suffering, their names etched in the annals of human conflict with a permanence that belies the fleeting nature of headlines. Since the fateful day of October 7, 2023, the world has borne witness to a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, one that transcends the boundaries of geography and ideology to pierce the collective conscience with a searing intensity. From the blood-stained streets of Gaza to the bomb-scarred neighborhoods of Israel, the images that have emerged from this latest chapter in the ongoing saga of violence and oppression are as haunting as they are heartbreaking. Each frame, each pixelated snapshot of human misery serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the brutality of war. Yet, amidst the rubble and despair, there is a glimmer of hope—a hope born from the resilience of the human spirit, from the unwavering resolve of those who refuse to be silenced in the f...

A Seamless urge to meet

  Will see you on the other side of this world soon What if I burn the whole world  To take the emergency exit  That leads me to you  What if I freeze everything  Including time at the time  When I was with you What if this world ends  For us to meet again  At a place away from this place  Where the moon has your face  Where your footprints are what the rivers trace  Where the rainbow doesn't have an end  Where being together is the trend  Where the eternity begins Where the world loses and love wins  Where every cloud has your shape  Where your colours are what the skies drape Where everything blends in you  Where nothing is true but you ~Akshita

Labyrinth's Whispers

I walk with shadows on my back,  Down a Boulevard of dreams that crack. Hearts resilient'neath thousand splendid suns,  Yet I shatter all, when my journey's begun.  Anticipating into the unknown, I stride, Embracing antipathy, I hide.  Turning cold, my warmth fades away, Far from kindness, in the darkness I sway.  Close to my bosom, yet distant I roam,  In the eyes of a cyclone, I find my home.  A catastrophe, yet empathy within,  In my poetry, my essence, I begin.  Dire, eccentric and ferocious in my stance.  Indispensable yet obsolete in this dance.  Insignificance, a theme I proclaim.  A distorted image, in the guise of a name.  A nuance of casualty in every line,  A mirage in the desert , obscure and fine.  In this Labyrinth of life I find my role,  In the depths of my soul, I find my console.
