“Sprawled on the shore of forever
We are time travelers
Talking to each other across
Dusks and dawns of tomorrows
Toasting our marshmellows
In the bonfires of yesterdays
Sipping amnesia we pour into
Each others cups to heal
Wounds on our feet that keep
Changing shapes of our journeys”
― Nalini Priyadarshni, Doppelganger in My House

tags: dusk-and-dawn, forever, joyrneys, time-travelers

under covers of propriety
faster than rambunctious peals of laughter
emanating from rubicund lips”

Filled with beauty and love and joyous perfection but not ours
We embrace our being when we accept the path to our becoming”

for the best is yet to come.”

in the arsenal of patriarchy
ammo of choice for its sari draped agents
to keep young women in line lest they
sprout a tongue or mind of their own”
