Moon memories (A Tale)

Moon Memories 


I took you to my favorite restaurant, on our first date and that was the first mistake.
Now, the food there tastes like you. Then
you bought me my favorite scented candle
on my birthday and now my apartment
smells like you too. I can't wear the
sweater I wore on that day, we sat on the
dock to watch the moon. I can't seem to
move without running into a memory of
you. And goddamn I wish my heart was a
cassette tape, that these memories could
be erased and overwritten. And maybe I could replace a restaurant or a scent or a sweater.
But I can't move the moon. And maybe I
don't really want to. Maybe there's a part of
me that likes the way you still hang over my
head. And someday when I am ready the
moon will just become the moon again.

A lesson

It was one of the worst days in her life. As she sat down inking the pages of her diary,  she saw her father peep through the half-open door. "Why the hell does he do that? He always said he trusts me and yet I find him peeping in my room every now and then.  Damn this perfect life of mine!" she whisper-yelled to herself. Sighing heavily she continued writing and then she heard him again "Baby girl,  grandma needs something,  can you help her out ?" Urgh!! It was one of the ways he dragged her out of her room she kept herself locked in. "Yeah coming" she shouted on top of her voice making it pretty clear how pissed off she was. Nevertheless, she has to be polite with elders,  gulping down the rage she politely asked what she had to do. She then started untangling her grandmother's hair when she heard her brother "Dad,  can I buy this? " he said showing something on his phone. A smile crept on her father's face as he said " yeah

Domestic Violence

An issue that is very well known but is ignored the best "Stand up against the wrong happening around you" his words keep nagging behind my mind. If only I hadn’t been dependent on someone my life today would’ve been different. It’s been 4 years I’m married to this devil and till date, I haven’t gathered up enough courage to punch him down. Just as I was about to put the curry in the bowl I felt a tug on the corner of my shirt, my eyes then met a pair of black eyes, Zara, my daughter “Mommy grandmother and daddy are very angry. They’re asking you to bring in food as soon as possible” she said picking up the plates and left. My heart clenched looking at her. ‘Oh God, I wish I could give my daughter a better life than this’ I silently prayed. I had to serve them before they lash out at me again, so I pushed away from the thoughts and was on my way to the dining area. My body froze just as I heard a tight slap and saw my angel on the floor. “She is teaching you that, right

Independence day

INDEPENDENCE DAY??? Celebrating independence day, but you really think India is independent? As far as I know, I don't feel we are independent yet.  Why? Politicians, rapists, murders, caste system, hatred among people, aren't these reasons enough to make you feel helpless?  Do you still dare to convince yourself that you are independent? Do you still stand with pride and say 'India is independent'?  Our mothers, sisters, daughters getting raped, manhandled every day. When a girl child is born, it's still considered a bad luck. Poor getting poorer day by day and the rich? Well, they get rich with every passing minute. "DALITS" what does this even mean?? Aren't they humans? Your fellow brothers and sisters? Why are they called untouchables? Why are they kicked out of homes, colleges, and workplace?Would you tolerate if someone did that do you?  Just because some idiot long ago started the caste system, doesn't mean even you have to fol
