Pain

This pain tears me apart
This pain makes me alive

This pain of knowing you love me keeps me afloat
This pain of loving you silently sinks me

This pain of knowing you care for me makes me want to spin
This pain of not being able to care for you makes me want to die

This pain of knowing how much you give up for me keeps me sane
This pain of not being able to reciprocate drives me insane

This pain of knowing how much you ache for me grounds me
This pain of not being able to tell you how much I ache for you drives me wild

This pain of you caressing me centres me
This pain of not being able to touch you destroys me

This pain of you calling me lights me up
This pain of not being able to talk to you crushes me

This pain of you being invested in me makes me a better person
This pain of not being there for you ruins me

This pain that I give you makes me soulless
This pain that I can't share with you makes me lifeless

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise.

Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
