Circle of Life
Going around in a hamster’s wheel, Stare at the clock from 9-5; Fear it after…always fear-never feel, Watch a Snapchat story or Instagram Live. That’s the circle of life, baby, Your life fits within a glowing rectangular; No absolutes, answer only to maybe, We want Instagrammable, not spectacular. But, batteries run out… so let them,… Read more “Circle of Life”
To Whomsoever It May Concern
There’s a reason that (I believe) only I can fathom why life and file are phonetic palindromes. I’ve been sick for the majority of my life, my history inscribed in my medical files…
Writers of the World, Unite!
Hello WordPress Fam, Time and Tide wait for none. In a world that expects articulate content in 8 seconds, people who write are often at a loss. In 8 seconds, you can make a reel, but you can’t make something real. So, to acquaint ourselves with the fast-paced world, our paragraphs are the ones that… Read more “Writers of the World, Unite!”
Live and Let Leaf
I was reading “The Last Leaf” by O. Henry yesterday when I realized that so many of us are like the characters we love. In the book, (without giving you too many spoilers) a leaf becomes the reason for someone to live, and for someone to die. Is that unlike any of us? We allot… Read more “Live and Let Leaf”
Of Self, Love & Cynicism

The Imagery of Rain and Water in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Movies
Sanjay Leela Bhansali can make even a Saree, headgear, or a bottle come alive. His emotions overflow in ways that are so contagious, even the settings are enveloped by these emotions. The director utilizes colors and settings as characters, themes, and entire Universes. In “Saawariya,” an entire town is painted in hues of blues. A… Read more “The Imagery of Rain and Water in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Movies”
The pressures of Family Holidays and finding strength in being “Alone Together”
We are coming to terms with the fact that even though we are social animals, we are not social carnivores. We do not require the 24×7 presence of another (just as we don’t need a 24×7 news feed,) and I think that’s beautiful.
The Traps of Tropes in Mainstream Female Characters
Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Femme Fatale. Cool Girl. The “You’re Not Like Other Girls” Girl. Nagging Mom. The “Chick that can be replaced by a Lamp.” Tough Girl. Angry Girl. Annoying Best Friend.
