Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we are made of, such we be.
.......
O time! thou must untangle this, not I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!
॥ सिन्दूरारुणविग्रहां त्रिनयनां माणिक्यमौलिस्फुरत्
तारानायकशेखरां स्मितमुखीमापीनवक्षोरुहाम् ।
पाणिभ्यामलिपूर्णरत्नचषकं रक्तोत्पलं विभ्रतीं सौम्यां
रत्नघटस्थरक्तचरणां ध्यायेत्परामम्बिकाम् ॥
//She who is hued in vermillion
Who is three-eyed
Whose crown rubies bejewel
And the crescent moon adorns
She who mesmerizes with a
compassionate smile
She of shapely limbs
Cupping a bejeweled vessel abounding in nectar in one hand
And a crimson lotus in another //

My ancestors - Omprakash Valmiki
You said Service is the duty of the Shudra They did not ask What will you give for it? You were happy You now had slaves They were happy too Happy for you They had put all their power In your hands. The body unclothed The stomach unfed Hurt, and yet They smiled For they saw you smiled. They did not know How to loot The weak and the innocent! Did not know That murder Is the badge of courage That robbery is not a crime It is but culture. How innocent they were My ancestors Humane Yet untouchable.

eldest child. artistic, botany student. hiding behind saccharin smiles and soft frowns. voice tingling until it stops serenading. will the expectations ever stop?
sing to me to me, Aaranya. the forest you grew around yourself, is humming, with the vibrations of your music.
The Elegance of Indian Art
These paintings, according to me, justify the beauty and the mystical feeling of nostalgia and euphoria when one hears the word "India"...

तू जहाँ जहाँ चलेगा मेरा साया साथ होगा मेरा साया साथ होगा…
कभी मुझको याद करके, जो बहेंगे तेरे आँसू तो वहीं पे रोक लेंगे, उन्हें आ के मेरे आँसू
मैं अगर बिछड़ भी जाऊँ, कभी मेरा ग़म न करना मेरा प्यार याद करके, कभी आँख नम न करना
तू कोई जनम भी लेगा मेरा साया साथ होगा…
I would have opened this letter with a ‘dear’, however I wondered for a long time if it would indeed be a correct way for me to address you, after all this time. A lifetime seems to have passed between that evening of 1952 and now, sometimes even making me feel that I have slept through the last 30 years. I would often look at faces of my children and grandchildren, wondering if I am stuck in some never ending dream from which I might wake up any minute now. My hair has greyed in the fringes of my temple and forehead, my smile is showing signs of wrinkle and my fingers feel heavy. It’s not a terrible feeling, I enjoy my experiences most of the time, but sometimes my body feels like it is living the life of someone else. And that in a different timeline I am still there playing with you behind that tree. Is it still there? I was so sure I will forget everything, you, those lanes, that house and all else. Are you also there? Do you also, like me, go to sleep in the expectation of reliving our lives till 16 years of age again and again, like listening to a record on loop or going to see one particular cinema multiple times? If you are coming back from there, can you accompany me back to myself as well please?
This night seems to be taking all away from me again. The moon is cruel.

Justice for v.phogat.
She protested against the government in 2023. She competed in the 48kg, 50kg and 53kg categories in various games. She's the first Indian woman wrestler to secure gold in Asian games and Commonwealth games. She was the first Indian woman to qualify for Olympic wrestling finals.
She beat a world champion this year. She lost 1.5 kilograms in a night. She overexerted herself.
She was disqualified for being 100g overweight.....
Did she deserve this?
