FROM TEAM WILLOW: INSIDER INSIGHT

Dear Change

Maithili Goswami

You have been much too inconsiderate. Friendships that I thought would last forever, have flipped over and fizzled out in a day. Prejudices that I held for far too long have given way to the sweetest companionships. Love that I had thought I would never find in my lifetime bumped into me out of nowhere.

Transient Nature of a Transient Mind

Aradhya Sharma

I could feel the air around me shift. I started breathing differently, seeing distinctively and hearing abnormally. I noticed things I never noticed, and I could feel the blood in my veins flowing in the opposite direction.

Blossom

Anupriya Sharma

I hope you try your best, and fall flat on your face.

You run the fastest, but it's the wrong race.

Hope you finally find friends, and they all turn out fake.

You make the hardest choice, and it's the biggest mistake.

Silent Ruminations

Vanshika Kalia

You are life’s best creation undeniably but seems to mock my limitation by claiming to live as me. In this complex world your simplicity is the most complex form for me and my complexity (claimed), subject to careful analysis, is fun for you.

That funny little girl

Arushi Sethi

She lives in the quiet spaces between the beats of my heart. The inner child – everything I ever was, everything I’d want to be. Her laughter echoes through the corridors of my soul. I have known these places. She comes here often, playing with her little toys.

A Poem

Ragini Sharma

If I dare to dream

I'd say I would be reduced to poetry.

Another alike would sit over me,

Frown pondering who I am for.

Where Can the Love Go: Musings on Gulzar’s Ijaazat (1987)

Sanjivanie Bhalla

I've often wondered where the love between two people went when they parted ways.
Does it lie entangled in the distance between them,
the space hallowed/haunted by the affection they once used to hold?
