What if?










What if I took you,
To a room stuffed with letters, 
Some red some blue 
Kept together in pairs of two 

What if I told you, 
The letters left you with no place 
To breath, to relax 
Or simply have your own space 

What if I convinced you, 
That shards of glass
Were concealed in the blue 
And in the red ones, 
Soft petals with a gorgeous hue 

What if I broke it to you, 
That the contents of these letters 
Were but your thoughts 
Piled together, and kept in lots 

What if I asked you, 
Which type would you expect to find 
In your room of thoughts
Hidden in your mind? 
Would the blue overrule the red? 
Would you hope for it to be the other way instead? 
Would you wish your room wasn’t suffocating 
Would you criticize it and be hating 
Yourself, and more blues would be formed 
And there you go! 
In a vicious cycle your thoughts are transformed 

But, What if I said,
It's you who’s in charge 
Of managing your garden bed 
Whether you want more of petals or shards
Is merely upto you 
Whether you want more of red 
Or absolutely no blue 

Because I have to say…
You will end up visiting your room of thoughts 
Where whether or not you enjoy your stay 
Depends on every little thought 
crossing your mind throughout the day...

Clara Winslow's Favourite Song

'Clara Winslow wins song of the year at Grammy Awards 2025', read the headline. She made it , I thought to myself before letting the overwhelming flood of memories take over.   I was interning at a music summer camp when I first met Clara Winslow, a frail girl with freckled cheeks, long bronze hair and eyes so expressive they almost appeared animated. When I assigned the kids their first activity of the summer, I vividly recall how Clara's eyes lit up.  'Listen to music across various genres, cultures, languages and pick your favourite song' ,  read the chalkboard behind me.  It was quite a task to get the rest of the class started. Clara however, was a natural. I don't think she spent a minute without her headphones and notepad. That was the only time I interacted with the kids and although most were adorable, Clara Winslow left an impression instantly.  Later that day and for every day since, I was assigned generic prep work so I barely saw the kids....

The Ominous Letter

I listen to what you say when you believe you’re alone. I know what you would rather do if you knew nobody was watching . I can feel you tense at my words. I can hear your breathing pattern cautiously pause.    When your grandmother said “Mind what you let occupy your mind”, where were you?  She may not have known the core reason behind what she preached, but she was right in thinking it was essential to protect you. She had every reason to be concerned. It is one of the greatest mysteries of the human race how nobody discovered that thoughts are logged. There are arrays of them incrementally pouring in as you read this. I have unhindered access to each thought of yours, as much as I would like otherwise.  Some of the thoughts are periodically repeated. As a bunch, they collectively move forward to take the form of an action.  I sit there in pain at the very onset of your first immoral thought, praying it never finds its bunch.  My job is to send back uninv...
