"you are your father's daughter," she said.

it was not a compliment.

"you hurt people who dare love you. just like him."

"you never understood my worth. just like him."

"and I hope you do suffer in loneliness. just like him."

"you are your father's daughter." My mother said.

and it was not a compliment. it was a slur.

Mom once told me that my writing is both a curse and a blessing.

She said it softly, almost like she was afraid the words themselves might cut too deep. “You feel everything too much,” she added, her eyes searching mine not with judgment but with that knowing sadness only mothers carry.

And maybe she’s right. This gift this madening compulsion to put feelings into words is a double-edged sword. On good days, it sets me free. On bad ones, it traps me in the very emotions I’m trying to escape. I bleed onto the page, yes but I also stitch myself back together there.

So, I write. Not because I want to. Not even because I can. I write because I have to and maybe that’s what she meant all along.

“ ओ पहाड़ ओ पहाड़ कैसा है तू ? क्या तेरे वहाँ सब ठीक है ? क्या तुझे छोड़ के जाने वाले लोग तुझे देखने वापस आते है ? या फिर देवता की पूजा और मसाण पूजने तक ही रह गया है उनके लिए अस्तित्व तेरा ! ओ पहाड़! कुछ ऐसा कर दे की पहाड़ की ज़िन्दगी, पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये फिर कोई पहाड़ी भाबरो को भाग जाये कोई फैक्ट्री उसका सारा खून चूस जाए इससे पहले कुछ ऐसा कर दे की हर पहाड़ी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये पूरी गंगा बांधो से न ढक जाए जमुना कही परदेश जाकर न बिक जाये पहाड़ो की बर्फ पहाड़ मे रुक जाये कोई पहाड़ी पहाड़ छोड़ कर न जाये ओ पहाड़! कुछ ऐसा कर दे की पहाड़ की ज़िन्दगी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये पहाड़ कही बस बूढ़ो का ठिकाना ही होकर न रह जाये सारे आमा-बुबु की ऑंखे अपने नातियों का इंतज़ार करते-करते ही न बंद हो जाए इससे पहले कुछ ऐसा कर दे की हर पहाड़ी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये न जाने क्यों पहाड़ी अपने पुरखो के खून को भूल गए है, न जाने क्यों ! क्यों भूल गए की उनके पुरखे पत्थर पर भी नाज़ उगने की कला जानते थे अपनी इस काबिलियत को हर पहाड़ी समझ पाए ओ पहाड़! कुछ ऐसा कर दे की पहाड़ की ज़िन्दगी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये पहाड़ का पानी भी परदेश जाकर बिकता है पहाड़ की हवा उससे भी कीमती है पहाड़ के मौसम का हर कोई दीवाना ये बात हर एक पहाड़ी समझ जाये तो पहाड़ की भूमि कभी परदेशी को न बिक पाए उसमे भी हर जगह पत्थरो के जंगल उग जाये इससे पहले कुछ ऐसा कर दे की हर पहाड़ी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये कही पहाड़ बस टूरिस्ट प्लेस बन कर न रह जाये ऊंची ऊंची इमारतों के बीच कही पाथर वाले मकान न खो जाये मोमो, चौमीन, पिज़्ज़ा, बर्गर ही न पहाड़ मे छा जाये कही कटक वाली चाहा को पहाड़ी न भूल जाये इससे पहले कुछ ऐसा कर दे की हर पहाड़ी पहाड़ में ही रुक जाये पहाड़ का पहाड़ी भी अपनी पहचान बना पाए पहाड़ का स्वाद चखा पाए आलू के गुटको संग भाग की खटाई का स्वाद अपनी भट की चड़क्वाणी, मादिरे का भात नौले का पानी , माल्टा-नीबू सान के खाने का स्वाद ऐ पहाड़ कुछ ऐसा कर दे की हर पहाड़ी पहाड़ में रुक जाए।”

I love you samosas. I love you empanadas. I love you pasties. I love you dumplings. I love you pirozhkis. I love you savory food in a convenient little carb purse.

i love characters with prominent noses. the only reason i’ve ever given a character a small nose is to fulfill a diversity quota

I cannot take the Olympics anymore. athletes are dropping out bc the Seine made them sick. Athletes are sleeping in parks because accommodations are terrible. Vinesh Phogat (India) is disqualified from her gold medal final because she is a 100gms overweight (which is insane btw). Media, reporters and coaches are being racist af towards SEA and Asian athletes. Imane Khelif had to face persecution over her body and gender because someone was a sore loser.

I cannot take the Olympics anymore.

being at work while your personal life is falling apart has to be among the top 3 worst human experiences. You’re at your absolute lowest and someone wants to circle back on an email…… unreal

"Lord Jagannath's Sweet Apology"

"Today, Lord Jagannath and his siblings come back to the Puri Temple, but Ma Lakshmi is still mad that she didn't get to go on the trip. She lets the siblings in, but not the Lord. He tries to win her over with Rasgulla and a fancy saree!"

A war memorial by an old, withered church that harbours probably one of the most beautiful graveyards, A thing born out of massacre, And I wonder how can it be this serene? Or maybe that precisely is the reason, The jaded scars on my wrist whisper, Hidden under a perfectly soft skin. And I remember the violence behind the gentleness seen around.

Roaming around, reading names, forgotten, Perhaps not all of them… I find the most symmetrical pine cone, Amongst all scattered on the grass. Thousands of miles away from home, For a neat little wooden fruit.

I understand now, Here, Why people cheat, lie, Why they end lives… Their own and sometimes of another.

I wonder if I could do any of that myself, How would it feel? To let go completely, Or be in complete control, I contemplate the consequences, The outcomes, seemingly dire.

I turn towards the gate, Crushing the perfect little pine cone beneath my feet.

reblog if you like girls and/or pasta

It wasn't the first birthday, That I spent completely alone, Not most of the day, Anyway.

Even now, I am surrounded, Not alone, but solitary, And the 3 seats of Boeing 787 feel akin to a cage.

This isn't the first birthday I've spent by myself, You were there, For a few glorious moments of, Fireworks, meteor shower, comet sighting… And then 9 hours of complete darkness.

The separation has left a sordid taste of high priced latte in my mouth, The one that comes in hugeass cups and too pungent smell, Etched onto my tongue, Which, the watery strong tea Or "not so bad" flight meal, Or even a glass of apple juice has washed away.

Scientifically, Untrue because the sabzi had a lot of garlic in it, Enough to overpower everything, Except the taste of you.

My neural receptors are fiercely holding onto it, The electric synapses running amok Trying, Clinging to the flowing memory.

It is certainly not the first birthday that I've spent in my own company, Which I was fine with, Before-

But the newly minted 29 year old me Freshly christened by your affections Is spoiled… Desecrated, utterly - In your name, with your touch, And by your stupid coffee stained lips…

“Do you wanna fuck those shoes, John?”

This genuinely made something click for me but I am busy so I’ll figure out what later

I always tell people this when they’re confused about this. There’s a difference between being attracTED to someone vs finding someone attracTIVE. Just because someone is attractive and you like how they look doesn’t mean you wanna kiss them or whatever.

I LOVE THE MONA LISA I think it is beautiful this does not make me attracted to women.

I love Red Boats Argenteuil by Monet. I’ve never been to Argenteuil, never been on a sailboat in my LIFE and if I DID have a boat I’m not sure I’d paint it red.
