My dearest Privy,

For the past nine days you've been ignoring me. How come you can do that. I know you love to spend time with me and you find little peace when you are with me.
Then, why are you ignoring me???? I need an answer....please at the earliest

Your's truly,
YOUR BLOG

Sweetheart you are a part of my soul.... and I cannot exist without you. I know what I have been through in this 9 days that I have been away from you. This is perhaps the longest that I have done so and each and every moment has been a pain I inflicted deeply on my soul... But then I also know YOU are the only one on this earth to whom I don't need to explain anything for YOU understand everything. You accept me with open arms all the time and yes I am coming back to you NOW for I need you. You are and therefore I am !! 

A very dear friend Gayatri sent me this while I was away from blogging. I found it too cute and had to cherish it somewhere in the realms of my life, on this blog!

If , a 26-minute short film by acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Tathagata Ghosh, is a sensitive, evocative piece of storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. Set against the everyday rhythm of life in Kolkata, the film delicately unpacks the story of a lesbian couple torn apart by the weight of societal expectations and dares to imagine a different future, one where a mother's love might just change everything.  What struck me first was the film’s raw, grounded realism.

The world of If is filled with silences, glances, and stills, rather than heavy dialogue. Ghosh masterfully uses these moments to speak volumes, allowing viewers to sit with discomfort, interpret the unspoken, and feel deeply.

Book Review: The Story of Eve: Selected Poems by Zehra Nigah

Few voices in Urdu poetry have carried the weight of history, resistance, and deep personal introspection quite like Zehra Nigah. One of the first women to break into the traditionally male-dominated world of Urdu poetry, Nigah’s work stands as a testament to the power of words to illuminate, question, and challenge. The Story of Eve: Selected Poems, translated by Rakshanda Jalil, brings together some of her most powerful nazms and ghazals, showcasing both her literary elegance and her unflinching gaze at the human condition, particularly through the lens of gender, social injustice, and political turmoil.
