Thursdays… 

I usually call it the mediocre day. It's perhaps the most uninteresting day of the week... (and maybe that’s why throwback Thursday was invented to make this day somewhat memorable). It’s pathetic I guess to incorporate luck with the days in a week, but being trapped in a vicious cycle of repetitions, you dwell on things like this for the sole reason of wanting to be motivated in moving further (even without a goal in sight).

Doing something that you dislike and sucking big time with it is pretty disappointing. I mean, I once believed that I am special. I thought I was good, but lately, I can’t even do simple things as how they should be done. I know some people would say, “it’s okay”, “you did great” but deep inside me, I know it’s not. It’s really more of a personal dissatisfaction because I know I could have done better and I know I can do better (or maybe I used to do things far better than how I am doing it right now).

A lot of questions once again fill my mind. A lot of emotions churning inside my heart. anxiety, doubts, fear, anger, these are all my soulmates.

If only I am wise enough to know things,

If only I have the answers.

God! This life is so damned…

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

Scatter

The government says it shut down 7,000 illegal gambling sites. Great. That’s like taking a mop to a flood and calling it progress. Because this isn’t a coding issue. It’s a coping issue. You can kill the website. But if the hunger stays, the next one’s already in the queue. Gambling doesn’t thrive because it’s accessible. It thrives because it fills a void. And no one wants to talk about the void. Take Scatter. The poster child of this mess. Offered on legal platforms, monitored by systems that “ban” users— if their families report them. As if addiction sends out early warnings. As if people don't rot quietly before anyone notices. Regulation without prevention is just crisis management with better lighting. But that’s the trick, isn’t it? Make it shiny enough and people stop asking if it’s dangerous. And now? Gambling isn’t underground. It’s center stage. It's in your feed, dressed up as lifestyle. Influencers selling false jackpots like spiritual Kool-Aid. Fake payouts. Fla...
