wait, saw that pilot crash-landed a plane on a beach and everyone is celebrating the survival. meanwhile, i have this growing collection of conversations i keep deleting because nobody seems to stay long enough for me to actually hit send. i find myself drafting essays to friends, and in the end, the words dissolve like sand, just like every person i’ve let in too close. i sometimes wonder if i sh...
कभी सोचा नहीं था कि 'samsung' का नया फोन मेरी सबसे बड़ी इच्छा बनेगा। मेरे दोस्त लोग मालदीव की छुट्टियों पर हैं और मैं अब भी अपने दो साल पुराने फोन से फटी तस्वीरें खींच रही हूँ। खुद को समेटने में गड़बड़ महसूस करती हूँ। हर बार किसी की कार की नई तस्वीर पर कमेंट करते हुए लगता है, “यार, मैं तो अभी भी बस बस में घूम रहा हूँ।” मैं और मेरे सपने, दोनों ही किसी को समझ में नहीं आते। ये डिवाइस खुद से मुझसे कसम...
