Tw: Domestic Violence 

// He Loves Me //

He did not mean what he said
That was an impulse
I shouldn't have disturbed him
That's just his frustration 
He loves me
He really really does 

Just a curse, it's quite normal
Just some shouting, where doesn't it happen? 

Anger took the best of him
He did not mean to hit me
It was just an accidental push
That is just how he vents 
He loves me
He really really does 

Just a scratch, no big deal
Just a bruise, nothing a first aid can't fix
Just a small burn, will be better under cold water
Just a fracture, I will be fine in a month 

He said sorry with a lunch date
It will never happen again 

It was only one time again
I am sure of it
He loves me
He really really does 

Only the second time, that's alright
Mistakes happen, from everyone at that
He is human, bound to have feelings
I know I do too, I swear he understands 

He didn't know belts hurt that bad
Must have forgotten we don't bring the bottle inside
He loves me. He does. 

That's what I always said 

Did I know he could hurt me so much?
Maybe I didn't even know what is love
Or respect 
Or what it is to speak up
Now I know, now I know
So, I filed a complaint and put him behind bars
And chose to respect myself first by @iraontracks

//Airports//

There is a peculiar melancholy that airports have. 

The joy of coming home, visiting new places and leaving behind people and memories. All these feelings trapped within these walls. 

Outside, life awaits. But at the airport, time is frozen. Nobody and everybody is sleeping. It is it’s own world. 

I went on a trip to Thailand recently with a tour group. With most of the members coming from Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore etc etc. 

After coming back we exchanged Instagram handles with the promise of staying in touch. But we all know how those promises go. 

They will go back to their lives and so will I. We may never see other again except for the social media updates that would be probably be hidden beneath the stockpile of content. We will go on to be different people, leading different lives. 

Our paths might never cross, but we will always have that one shared moment when all of us felt like one in a foreign land. 

Trying to understand how locals spoke, sharing travel hacks, making washroom runs, searching for Thai restaurants, eating together, dancing on the cruise, laughing and cracking inside jokes that only this lot would ever get. 

Every once in a while, we might remember one another, reminiscing about those nine days in Thailand.

Wrote a little blog about finally trying to figure out how this growing up / adulting business works. It’s extremely anxiety ridden, cathartic and somewhat hopeful (maybe?)🤍🤍🤍
You can find the link to the FULL BLOG in my bio, thanks🥰

One night around the bonfire
My brother spoke of his girl
How she was a smart one
And just couldn’t stop gushing about her

I thought of you 
And all the times I spoke of you
I wondered if you talked about me,
The same way I do about you

Do you tell them I write well?
Do you tell them I can run?
Do you tell them I am pretty,
And just so much fun?

Cause you know I am
You do know I am

But do you tell them that?
Do you also blush when you speak of me?
Is it too hard to make you stop talking about it?

Are you so lost in your thoughts,
That you lose track of time?
Do you ever daydream,
Cause I am always playing on your mind?

Do you ever see something,
And tell them I would have liked it too?
Do you ever just wonder,
What if I was there with you?

Do you? Do you?

Do you tell them about me?
Like I was the best girl you have ever seen?
Do you talk of me?
Like I am the best mind there’s ever been?

Do you? Do you?

What do you say about me?
Baby, tell me, do you even say anything about me? by @iraontracks

"It was almost like rolling a stone down the hill warning the rest of the year to keep up."

It was a fulfilling year of learnings, lessons and memories of a lifetime. It was one of the best things that happened to me in a while.
It gave me hope when I needed it. Maybe you will find it too in this blog, if you are looking for it.

They don't know
But it's good they don't
This moment between us is only ours for now
Nobody steals this away
This thing is ours
I am yours, you are mine
And that's all I care 

I don't mind keeping a secret
If it's as good as you
Some secrets are better kept safe
If it's just between me and you
It's nice to have something,
So special and pure
Its almost too good to not say out loud 

It all feels like a dream
So beautiful but fragile
Like any second now,
I could wake up from sleep
So it's good they don't know
Nobody steals this away
You know me, I know you
And that's all I care 

This thing is ours
Keep it hidden from everyone else
From sharp claws and prying eyes
Safe from every bad thing that could happen to it
This moment is between us
It's nobody's to claim
So what we do, no one needs to know
It's only you and me, in our own little world by @iraontracks

Cotton candy skies 
I am walking in air
Slept one night
And woke up in a fairytale
I now smile a little silly, my face is all pink
It’s that moment in the story
The princess has just met this one prince

Its that old feeling of that new rush
Starting that old game again
But with a new player
He makes the first move and now we are here
Its still the start but it’s something different
I can see it, in the way he smiles, in the way he walks
This one’s unlike any
But my favourite one so far

Every brush of hands, every shared laugh 
My mind is tangled in this magical chaos
I come home feeling fuzzy and warm
The hours past, all I can think of
Every single moment stuck in my brain
Replaying itself like a broken tape

We don’t know where we are, we will see where it goes
The milestone is at zero, the next one’s far off
We are simply enjoying the view
A drive for one turned to a drive of two
But I do wonder sometimes, if not too often
Out of all the paths we could choose to take
It would be a serious pity,
If we just decide to hit the brakes by @iraontracks
