And if you really must, do so gently.

You know I think it’s the little things that make people beautiful, and are people beautiful? In every shred of the corners of this universe, yes they absolutely are.

Like the quiet rituals that feel so small they might slip through your fingers but are somehow weighty enough to hold your entire world together. The first sip of coffee that’s less about caffeine and more about a silent dialogue with your spirit. Or the sunlight that sneaks through the curtains and paints an unexpected masterpiece on your walls, as if the universe decided to bless your room for no reason at all. These are the unassuming moments that don’t shout, don’t demand to be noticed, but they wait, knowing full well they are the heartbeat of life itself.


More often than not, in the middle of winning wars or moving mountains, people lose themselves in the little things. And I think that’s the most beautiful thing about people. The way we stumble into these moments without realizing we’re about to turn them into memories. It’s how someone brushes their hair away while lost in thought, their brow furrowed with the weight of an unsolved mystery. Or the way a sheepish smile sneaks out, betraying a flicker of innocence that still lives somewhere deep within their soul. These little things, they aren’t just details; they’re the very essence of what makes life feel human, magical, and heartbreakingly fleeting.


It’s true, isn’t it? The biggest joys in life often come from the little things. How the sunlight catches someone’s face just right, turning them into your muse without them ever knowing it. How kindness, even the smallest gesture, becomes unforgettable, burrowing itself into someone’s heart and staying there. Or how you watch someone, utterly fascinated by the way they just exist, but you don’t try to change or own them. You simply let them be, and in that letting, you discover something profound, love isn’t about possession; it’s about presence.


While sometimes we do need to let go, but when we do, we do it gently, with a kind of love that doesn’t cling but still lingers in the air like the smell of rain-soaked earth. These small gestures of surrender, of quiet grace, they teach us that love doesn’t always need to be loud or victorious. Sometimes it’s in the letting go, the soft unraveling, that love finds its truest form.


Maybe that’s the secret the little things hold. They remind us that life isn’t the sum of grand gestures or towering achievements. It’s in the tender moments that seem so inconsequential but are, in truth, the foundation of everything. It’s in how people forget themselves while losing wars or moving mountains, yet find pieces of their soul in the curve of a smile, the glint of sunlight, or the warmth of a fleeting touch. And if you really must, do so gently, because the little things? They’re not so little after all.

When the stars gazed back at us.

  When the stars gazed back at us,  it was not about beginnings; it was about recognition. About that rare, almost fleeting moment when the universe did not feel distant or indifferent, but attentive, almost complicit. ;) I woke up remembering you, All your words, old and new. Of dreams I hold of lands unseen, As if your name’s the hum I’ve known, your face the only thing I’ve seen. Even the sun bears your name,  Without you, rain feels strangely tame. They may call me mad, broken, or even wrongly built, I’d still reduce to dust all that may keep us apart, without remorse or even a speck of guilt. You and me, we took an oath, To be each other’s home through misery and gloat. If I were to do it all over again, I would, of course, I would, Wouldn't change a thing even if I could. I’ve held you through your sin, you’ve seen me through my crime Miles and miles I’ve carried all your shadows; you have borne witness to mine.  Across all lives, though you forg...

Miss you like an old song.

Somewhere between an old radio song, a cold vanilla latte, and emotional unemployment, I wrote  (blows raspberries )  THIS?!  *insert debating one’s own sanity [poet really only means the curtains are blue] You know those people who leave so quietly that even silence starts sounding like them after a point? Excruciating enough  that some nights, memory shows up disguised as curiosity and suddenly you’re three hours deep into old interviews, random reddit  ravel   (wtf is even that?!) , blurry photographs, and strangers loving/hating someone like they discovered them first.  And somehow, against all logic, one might still end up offended… as if the world was supposed to know that your silence around them was sacred. When they sometimes wanna make you drag out of the perfectly made (very very comfortable) cocoon then climb on top of that rooftop yell (softly though) for them to bloody get out of their head, how they’ve stretched out the liberty by far m...

Aadat.

Khaama-khaayii kaisi ye  aadat , Chalo maana jaayaz tumhari shiqayat. Kabhi baaton ka rang udh jaaye, kabhi khamoshi ruk jaaye, Dil ke pardon ke beech koi purani dhoop thodi der tik jaaye. Kabhi tumhari parwah hawa ki tarah aakar guzri, par kaha nahi, Jhaank ke jab tumne apne dill ko dhoonda, tumhe vo mere paas mila, vahan nahi. Masle toh the, par jaise sirhaane se khud hi phisal gaye, Sargoshii ke taar bhi ek din be-sabab sisak gaye. Mohabbat nahi, par ek narm si hasrat tumhari reh gayi, Guftugu nahi, par ek halki si mehfil dil mein beh gayi. Sabr aur khair tera aqsar kare zikr, Qissa na bhi sunau intezaar ka, mujhe phir bhi rahegi thodi fikr. Na hi jaan aur na koi pehchaan, toh bewajah yeh kaisi shiqayat? Fitoor mera tum toh nahi, phir bhi kaisi ye  aadat ?
