Scars


Scars theyare,

Scars thatare left behind.

Scars ofvictory,

Scars oflove,

Scars ofpain,

Scars ofguilt,

Scars thatremind you of a time,

that can nevercome back,

of time thathas tested everything,

the lovethat bloomed and faded,

the glorythat was earned and lost,

the gainthat was laced with pain

and healedwith time.

the rainthat poured heavily and dampened the spirits,

the sun thatrose and set to rise again,

Silence Has a Sound by Mitra Samal
"Great Read, Astoundingly captures Nature in its raw form amidst lines which relate to daily life and subtle imageries.
Glad to read this. Rains and Photograph being my personal favourites "

Silence Has a Sound by Mitra Samal
"Mitra Samal’s second poetry collection, ‘Silence Has a Sound’ masterfully treats quietness not as a void, but as a living canvas for human emotion. Divided into five evocative sections—ranging from nostalgic reflections to contemporary realities—the " Read more of this review »

A very enjoyable read. Loved the dark humour and satirical phrases.

The D’Costa family is an eccentric lot and so are the occupants of the Burgundy House. All the characters spice up the story. Goan culture and cuisine also come alive in the book. Th

I read something lean in one sitting after a long time. The words seem to flow effortlessly— four nights and a morning. Having read some of Dostoevsky’s bio, who had been on the verge of death, who had seen poverty closely for most of his life, and w ...more

A very poignant story of mother and son, being queer and the making of a writer. Absolutely enjoyed reading it, and I am sure you will too!

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

T.H. White
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King
