A Thousand Memories

The Perfect Day

Do you know what’s worse than death? The knowledge that death is imminent, well, technically everyone dies but after a wonderful life. Only this is not the case for all of us, sometimes a young woman at an age of 17 suffering from metastatic thyroid cancer, fights for her every breath and cheats her death …

The Accidental Hero

The last thing Aadya remembered was her body acting on instinct, leaping onto a road to save an inattentive high schooler from an incoming truck. There was the pain afterwards, but it cut off abruptly, like a television losing electricity. “Huh!!”, Aadya whispered. “I always imagined dying would be more painful, I have had injection …

The Girl That Shouldn’t Exist

“Should I smile?” Or “Should I say Hi?” Well, she is pretty. And definitely staring at me, without blinking since she got on the metro last stop. She was dressed in a shirt with bold prints and baggy jeans, she looked like someone stuck in the early ’90s. She was seating more upright than a …

The Young Nation

Hidden below the seats, With an increased heartbeat. Stones hit the bus with an ear-deafening sound, And all of us were dumb-found.

Can We Just Be Friends?

Can we just be friends? No, no we can't. Don't mistake it to be my pride, But it's your smile that takes me for a joyride. Don't mistake it that I have not tried, Because I have kept all my emotions confide. I can listen to your voice all day, But it's difficult to keep …

Dear Love…

Through the ages, love has changed so many faces, But none can see beyond my damages, Though I try to hide them with bandages. My body is covered in bruises, Because of my wrong choices, Listening to my heart's voices, While my brain cringes, Resulting in all these emotional abuses, Always coming up with new …

Voice

George Orwell once stated, if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. Raise your voice, because it’s your right, Don’t be silenced by the alt-right. Raise your voice, because it’s important, As all, they want to listen to their own advertisement. Raise your …
