Golden Houses

17 Jan, 2021 |

I live on a street with golden houses,that shimmers as the sun goes down.Lost forests have carefully hidden my secrets,tucked away from the rest of the town. I live on a hill that’s built on money,that buries the musical passion I so heavily desire.Looking out and...

Nature Knows

17 Jan, 2021 |

Why kill the bee,When we’re the ones that aggravate it to sting? Why chop down the tree,When we’re the ones that built houses underneath its growth pattern? Why imprison the wild animals,When we’re the ones that have bulldozed and boiled their natural habitats? What...

Black Lives Matter – Not Up For Debate

19 Oct, 2020 |

What’s your vision for the world after coronavirus?

10 Oct, 2020 |

The coronavirus pandemic raised a lot of questions to many of us, to almost any sensible human being. How could we live in a situation like that? Is the pandemic going to harm our employment and job prospects? What to do while being in lockdown? How could we prevent ourselves from getting infected? What is the price of life? After all, is it worth living? Why am I living at all? In this essay, I would attempt to answer some of these existential questions concerning the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I would base my answers and interpretations on the experiences of people from the past who did their best to cope and to stay sane while being put in similar life-threatening situations.

“Every colour has a meaning”

20 Sep, 2019 |
