Hello, there!

Somewhere between half-drunk coffee mugs (because we both know Nat and Miles LOVE LOVE LOVVEE their coffee. Jesus?!), paused documentaries that were supposed to be background noise (scoffs), and bookmarked pages they’ll never admit they reread, Nat and Miles continue their greatest pastime: silently gatecrashing each other’s thoughts from across offices, across cities, across every sensible boundary . He’s in a meeting trying not to scream at someone for confusing brand loyalty with Instagram engagement. She’s drawing a roofline and questioning why anyone ever thought corporate bathrooms deserved that much grey tile . These conversations? They’re not scheduled. They don’t need WiFi. They happen in those absurd moments when the world is being painfully practical and your brain decides to flirt instead. Call it emotional piracy, call it synaptic nonsense, but between architectural indignation and strategy-induced eye-rolls, what unfolds is a caffeine-fueled, wordless rendezvous you’d a...

Alex had always been a boy of equations and propulsion charts, the kind who solved physics problems for fun and corrected sci-fi films under his breath. At thirty-two, he ran a company that designed and engineered parts for aerospace systems; fuel-efficient nozzles, advanced thermal shields, gyroscopic stabilizers. Real rocket-science stuff. And he was annoyingly good at it. His world was made of precision and possibility, of launch windows and escape velocities. But tonight? Tonight, he just wanted the silence to swallow him whole. He had landed in the city that morning, straight off a red-eye flight from Berlin where he’d spent three days locked in negotiation with a defense tech firm. His calendar had been an obstacle course of investor briefings and engineering updates, ending with a final roundtable where he had to explain plasma propulsion to a man who thought Mach 2 was a car model. By the time he got home, even gravity felt like a suggestion. Alex’s apartment was...well, very...

Spare a moment for my nonsense, will you?  Indulge me I promise it’ll be mildly poetic. Back at it, like we never left at Miles’s office somewhere midtown, minimalist. Smells like control and caffeine. There’s a click of a pen. A screen flickers. A vendor; sweaty with ambition and some very questionable fonts in his pitch deck is halfway through saying something about “synergistic market expansion.” Miles, blinking slowly like someone who’s just realized his soul is leaving his body via spreadsheet, leans back. His specs are sliding down just enough to make him look like the love child of a TED Talk and a Jane Austen character. And then there it is. Nat (in his head): “If I hear one more man use the word ‘synergy’ like it’s an aphrodisiac, I’m going to put a blueprint through the shredder just to cope.” Miles (blinks, smirks): “Tell me more about your radical views on site planning, darling. This guy just told me that market penetration is about intimacy. I think I nee...

The House At the very edge of nowhere, where GPS signals got lazy and birds flew in circles like they were lost too, stood a house that had long since retired from polite society. It wasn’t haunted in the traditional sense—no creaking attic demons or moaning mirrors—but it did hum with the kind of lived-in drama you’d expect from a place that had seen love letters scribbled on napkins and arguments thrown like dishes. The porch greeted you with a groan, but not a threatening one—more like the sigh of an old auntie who has seen too much and is mildly judging your shoes. Vines had taken liberties with the siding, curling in all the right (and wrong) places, like nature trying its hand at interior design. A shutter hung at a 45-degree angle, as though too emotionally exhausted to stay upright. Dust coated every surface with the kind of flair that screamed “vintage,” and inside, the smell was part wood, part memory, part “someone used to burn cinnamon candles here.” The air was thick with ...

People like to believe the universe is some grand orchestrator, shuffling fate cards like a moody blackjack dealer. But sometimes, it just sits back with popcorn and watches two people fumble their way into a slow-burning disaster that smells vaguely of espresso and unresolved tension. Enter Nat and Miles, two souls with more chemistry than a freshman lab fire, and just about as much common sense. By now, I assume you know Miles a bit. So allow me to introduce Nat. Nat. Now there’s a piece of work the universe clearly cooked up on a cheeky day. All sharp wit, unreadable playlists, and the kind of elegance that doesn’t try, it just is. She walks into a room like she already knows the ending but still watches everyone else catch up. She’ll dissect a business pitch, write a blog that punches through your chest, and still look vaguely annoyed that you haven’t figured out how she takes her coffee (strong, like her opinions, with a splash of skimmed milk and quiet judgment). But don’t be foo...

I’ve tempted fate a thousand times , winked at destiny and dared it to dance. I’ve walked the tightrope between surrender and defiance, one foot in devotion, the other in mischief, just to see which one he’d pull first. They say love should be soft, predictable, something that fits neatly into the palm of your hand. But this? This is chasing lightning with bare feet, laughing as the storm roars back. They warned me, "You'll lose yourself!",  as if that wasn’t the whole point. So here I am, hands open, heart reckless, staring at the sky like a fool, waiting for the next cosmic joke he’s got lined up for me. They say love should be warm and sweet, A gentle touch, a heart’s retreat. A quiet gaze, a fleeting sigh, Soft as dawn, where roses lie. But you arrived like storms untamed, A whispered spark, a soul inflamed. Not silk nor gold, nor tender grace, But thunder wrapped in night's embrace. They warned me, "Turn, don’t lose your way, This love will steal the ...

And so the night hums like an old song, the kind that plays softly in the background of a memory you’re not sure is yours. A story waiting to be told, or maybe just a moment waiting to pass. Either way, the night will keep moving.  Well, force of habit. Kabhi khabar poochi,  toh kabhi poochi khair, Seher pe shuru hue tere naam pe, bilkul fikr bagair. Kabhi dekha nahi jise,  kabhi jisse nahi hui mulaqaat; Wajood nahi jiska zehan mein,  uski phir bhi sunaayi deti hai har ek baat. Shikayat karta hai vo mujhse, Dhoonda nahi use shayad poore dil se. Chahe pukara ho use jaan nisaar, Magar jatate kis haq se? Bayaan karne ki koshish ki ahista, Par bayhiss hi bol paaye. Guftagu ke zariye ibaadat tumne ki, Lekin kaafir hum kehlaaye. Maanga roz tujhe usse, Jaise koi ho dastoor. Woh ho gaya thoda naraaz, Par isme mera kya qasoor? Kuch waqt sa guzar gaya, Ek arsa jaise dheeme dheeme jiya. Mazaak mein pareshaan tu kar baitha, Aur aashiq hume keh diya. Shayad kabhi tujh tak ye...
