A quiet free-verse reflection on nature, patterns, and the human search for meaning, standing between order and chaos.

Karan vs. The Tarka is a light-hearted, humorous poem inspired by a very real-and rather frustrating-experience. It tells the story of Karan, who finds himself in an unexpected battle with the powerful aroma of his neighbour's tarka. What begins as an ordinary cooking smell soon becomes a daily struggle of sneezing, escaping rooms, and trying to survive the next round of spices. Behind the humour is a simple everyday experience that inspired me to write this poem. I became quite sick because both of my neighbours essentially had the same cook, whose tarka was, unfortunately for me, not the easiest thing to live with! While she cooked, I would sneeze constantly, and afterwards I would often end up with a terrible cold. Instead of simply being annoyed by it, I decided to turn the experience into something funny and write a poem about it. About the Author - Lavanya Y. Rao I'm Lavanya Y.

The Planes Above Hauz Khas is a nostalgic poem about a young girl who once believed that every airplane flying over her home carried her wishes into the sky. As she grows older, she learns the truth about where planes are going, but she never completely loses the magic of her childhood belief.

The Wrong Person is about the kind of hatred that rarely belongs where it lands. Sometimes the anger is meant for someone with a family, someone stronger or impossible to confront, and instead it falls upon a person who is easier to hurt. A person who never caused the pain becomes responsible for it simply because of who they are connected to. The poem explores misplaced anger, quiet resentment, and the heartbreaking reality of being punished for a story you never wrote. Copyright © Lavanya Y. Rao. All Rights Reserved.

You think nicotine is addictive Unless you kiss lips that taste vaguely of spearmint And you realize the most dangerous drug of all Is holding somebody after losing them and then losing them again.. You think cannabis lifts you off the dirt you've been creating for yourself Commit all those seven deadly sins And see nothing helps Dig a bigger grave in your dirt before going up high For you are about to fall Your words that bite skin Seem so ordinary to me If I could rearrange them, I'd propose the world with affection That you never gave to anyone Despair, strike me gently every night Every minute when I start to hear the roaring void Louder than you, it unsettles the calm And I lose my breath With myself
