An ode to Nirbhaya

Survivor - A Poem
I was raped
My soul was clenched with iron claws
And ripped away from my body
My body torn into pieces
As beasts feast on it
Losing my conscience
I barely cling to life
I’m burnt to ashes from inside
I can’t sleep
I can’t breathe in peace
I have nightmares haunting me
I’ve lost childhood memories
I’ve lost memories of love
All I have in me are these scars above
They’ve imprinted on my very being

I am traumatized forever
I can’t face the world
I know I'm bleeding inside
But I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise to fight
So that no one else has to go through it again
No one else has to see a day like mine
I’m gonna rise! I’m gonna fight!

Nari shakti hai! Nari maa hai!
Tumne apne maa ka balatkaar kiya
Jal jao aag mein tum
Tumhare paap ka prayaschit nahi
Apni maa ko maar dala
Har stree ko lalkara

Maut bhi tumko sahi saza nahi

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an...

Emo Poems from Childhood

I need you I need love in my heart My heart is lonely and alone My love is pure, so true My heart is vacant just for you I've been waiting for so long I kept singing this solitude song My heart keeps weeping then and now That I can never reach To your heart and your beautiful soul and then Your smile, your love, and your faith Can nothing be done to get things back I can't stay regretting all my life I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love You always have all my true love But you never realized... What do I do to make you believe? My tears will tell you all that you need I'm in scarcity of tears to weep Without you, my heart is pounded deep I'm really tired of staying awake with you In my mind hurting every time There can be no other solution We've got to understand each other better and I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love Can you forgive me for the whole thing in the past And start ov...

Stuck in a Love Loop

It happened 7 years ago, but the memories are as vivid as if it were yesterday. That year was undoubtedly the best of my life, as I experienced the magic of falling in love. Deeply enamored by the feeling, I was eager to explore this emotion. However, my heart and mind were in constant conflict. Being an emotional person, my heart led the way, unbeknownst to me at the time. It was a cold winter night, and I, a college student working part-time at a library, was wrapped in layers of warm clothing. Little did I know that on January 30th, 2012, my life would take an unexpected turn. I laid eyes on a stranger who would later become my best friend, soul mate, lover, and husband. Our connection blossomed rapidly as we chatted through the night. The adrenaline rushed through me, and I felt alive and happy. However, doubt and fear crept in as I questioned my intense feelings for someone I just met. Despite the societal taboo against dating in my community, I couldn't resist the magnet...
