Friendship is a funny thing,It starts with a “Hi” and suddenly— ding!Two random humans, born in different nests,Decide, “Okay, this one… I like the best.”It grows like magic nobody planned,A silly joke, a helping hand.One shared samosa, two laughing fits,A lifetime bond begins in bits.They’re the people who hear your silent scream,And still say, “Chill…...

Have you ever noticed how we humans behave like our phones?We come with default settings, and unless we manually go into the “Settings → Life → Upgrade,” we keep running on the same old version. The funniest part? We fear the update… even though we’re the ones who created half the limitations we’re stuck with!“The... Continue Reading →
Life taps your shoulder softly,Like a friend with secret news,Whispers, “Hey… enjoy this minute—Tomorrow’s still deciding what to choose.”We rush like we’re in marathonsNo one even asked us to run,Forgetting that half the joy of livingIs stopping to feel the sun.We save smiles like bank deposits,Use laughter in “limited edition,”But happiness isn’t a rare antique—It’s...

I packed my dreams in a suitcase bright,Ready to chase the stars at night—But halfway there, I tripped on wonder,And life whispered, “Slow down and ponder.”I boarded a train called Someday Soon,But the view outside stole my tune—Mountains giggled, rivers winked,And suddenly my plans… well, shrank and shrank.I asked a stranger, “Are we there yet?”He...

Anger is like Wi-Fi: it pops up suddenly, connects instantly, and if you don’t manage it well… everything around you starts buffering! We all get angry — parents, kids, bosses, even the peacefully sitting dog when you step on its tail. But staying cool in those heated moments is not just a skill; it’s a... Continue Reading →
Your brain’s a tiny gym, my friend,Where thoughts do push-ups end to end.Some thoughts lift joy, some lift despair—The trick is choosing which ones you wear.Negativity? Oh, that lazy guy!Always lounging, eating fries.He whispers, “Why try? Just give up.”But positivity shows up doing sit-ups!Your mind is like a garden patch,Where every thought grows batch by...

Ever met someone who walks into a room and makes everyone notice — not because of their clothes, not because of their words, but because of the quiet aura that says, “I’ve got this.” And you think, “Wow, lucky them… born confident.”Let’s pause right there. Nobody is born confident. Babies don’t come out giving TED... Continue Reading →
I made a plan last Sunday noon,Not coffee with friends, not Netflix soon.Just me and me — a quiet spree,No notifications, just honesty.I brewed my thoughts like morning tea,Strong, a bit bitter, but truly me.I asked my heart, “Hey, what’s your dream?”It whispered softly, “Don’t forget your gleam.”I laughed at myself — oh, what a...

Somewhere between answering emails, juggling deadlines, replying to WhatsApp groups you didn’t sign up for, and convincing yourself that this weekend you’ll finally rest—you forget one simple truth: you are not a machine. You are human, and even the strongest minds need a pit stop before they burn out on the highway of routine.A mental... Continue Reading →
When crayons become magic wands,And walls turn into fairy lands,When mud pies are five-star cuisine,And giggles rule the in-between—Let them be little, let them play,Don’t rush them to grow today.Their world’s still painted in wonder’s hue,Each question starts with, “But why can’t I too?”We teach them math, we teach them speed,But forget they only need—A...

They say life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.But let’s be honest—those breathtaking moments don’t happen every day. Sometimes, it’s just spilled coffee, traffic jams, and that one slipper that always goes missing when you’re late. Yet, somehow, these tiny, ordinary slices... Continue Reading →
I feel things are going good, oh what a pleasant scare,Like calm before a toddler’s tantrum — peace too rare!I smile at joy, then squint — “Wait, what’s the catch?”Happiness feels borrowed, like socks that don’t quite match.All things slip like sand from hand, that’s life’s grand show,You tighten your grip — whoosh! there it...

Perfection—what a fancy little trap wrapped in glitter and self-doubt!We chase it like a butterfly, thinking if we just try a bit harder, we’ll finally catch it. But by the time we almost do, it flutters away, leaving us holding… an empty net and a missed deadline.The truth is simple yet revolutionary: done is better... Continue Reading →
There’s a storm in her brain, a circus on loop,Ideas cartwheel, and thoughts — somersault in a group!She hums when she studies, she dances when still,Her “focus” is a traveler, roaming at will.“Sit straight!” I plead, “Just finish your sum!”She nods… then forgets why her fingers went numb.A pencil’s a rocket, a book’s now a...
