Kolkata, I can’t love you,It’s not that I haven’t tried but look at you-You’re weak. You look defeated.To imagine once you were the jewel of India,Headquarters of the biggest empire in the world,They came in with their guns and fleet,They tried to control you,To think lords and barons once planned and plotted against you,To think [...]

I am who I’ve been looking for,I’m sexy, I’m cute,I’m loud, I’m mute,I’m emotional, I’m vulnerable,I don’t know about you but I think I’m freaking adorable,Sometimes I’m like a child to be awed by the wonders of the world,Sometimes I pave my own path,Sometimes I walk, sometimes I twirl,I’m dancer,I’m a poet,I’m a fairy,And you [...]

Listen to the Spoken Word version of this poem *** “If you were a Money Heist character, what would be your city name? Have you ever thought of that?” Of course, I have!

Those little feet, big hair, Mamma’s princess, Daddy’s only heir. “She’ll become a prodigy” Sharp eyes, tiny ears; see, she picked the pen, Prophecy it seems, Little head burdened with their big dreams. * The little princess fell sick, She wouldn’t move, she couldn’t speak. Sleepless nights spent by Mum, Deranged, frightened and the lovers [...]
Listen to the Spoken Word version of this poem *** I’m not comfortable with anyone who’s not comfortable with my story. Our stories make us who we are. I was young, I was foolish, I was selfish, I was adamant, I was naïve, I was in love. I was confused, I was terrified, I was [...]
