5 Tricks to Make the Most out of your Job

For a fresher trying to settle in a new office, it might all seem a little overwhelming. Juggling between what to do and what not to do or just trying to strike a balance within the office environment can certainly be a challenging task.

But speaking from my experience, it’s all going to settle down soon enough. And believe it or not, you are definitely going to miss those initial days later. So, instead of wasting your time being anxious or worrying too much about your new job, you might as ...

What If?

What if we meet again,
At a time when
Nothing is the same.
Perhaps you have moved ahead
But for me, nothing’s changed.
Suppose you aren’t allowed to meet me,
But all my feelings return to greet me.
Maybe you still love me,
Yet you can never tell me.
Perhaps we still remember everything
That ever passed in between,
And yet there are reasons not to
So we pretend as if we never knew.

What if we took too much time
Wating for the right moment to come,
Waiting for the storm to pass,
Waiting for the world to approve,
A...

The Burden of Past

Past haunts me
Like a Nightmare
That shakes off
The caressing dream
From the eyes.
Past scares me
Like the Ghost
Up on the attic
Ready to pounce
On its victims.
Past chases me
Like a Villain
With bloody knife
Waiting to stab
At the bosom of life.

Past holds me back
And tortures the heart;
Past traps my soul
Within forsaken maze;
Past burns my eyes
And sucks them dry;
Past plays with my mind
And renders it numb;
Past brings back
The forbidden horrors.

Breathless I stand,
Tore apart from
The belief in
Time’s healing ...

The Burden of Silence

The burden of silence
Hangs heavy upon me:
The sorrow hidden
Behind that smiling eyes,
The pain concealed
Behind that resounding laugh,
The scream suppressed
Behind that firmly sealed lips,
The tears dissolved
Behind that tightly shut eyes.

The burden of silence
Hangs heavy upon me:
Upon my weary heart,
Upon my tired eyes,
Upon my locked lips.
The burden of silence
Hangs heavy upon me:
Behind every smile,
Behind every nod,
Behind every word.
The burden of silence
Hangs heavy upon me:
Like a giant stone,
Like a dea...

The Burden of Secrets

I home
Deep, dark Secrets
Within me…
Stories
No one had heard,
Pains
No one can see,
Scars
No one will know.

I nestle
Evil, wicked Demons
Within me…
Lies
I told others,
Hopes
I give myself,
Worries
I shall not address.

I hold
Unknown, untold Emotions
Within me…
Feelings
I refused to express,
Love
I deny nurturing,
Sorrow
I won’t spill.

I bear
Silent, heavy burdens
Within me…
Secrets,
I couldn’t share,
Demons
I don’t dare to slay,
Tears
I’m not willing to shed.

To The One Who Got Away

I cry myself to sleep
Every single night.
I die a little each day
Waiting for you.
Every moment
Adds a fresh wound
To my bleeding heart.
There is always a storm
Raging in my mind:
Thunder and lightning
Is all that I can behold.
Love betrayed me once again, 
And this time, there’s no escape!
Tears are my only respite,
I’m broken beyond repair.
There is nothing worthy
Of keeping me afloat;
I’m forever drowning
In your memory:
How can you be so close
And yet so far away from me?

Why does fate play
Such vicious games?...

The Coin (Book Review)

“We are born the same but the rules of game for everyone of us were different.”

~The Coin, Sandeep Sharma

For, sometimes we can only see one side while the other lies hidden, ready to seep into the oblivion silently if nothing drastic is done to bring it to the surface. But, “The Coin” ascertains that ever...
