Soliloquy - Poems on Life, Love & Longing (Wattpad Exclusive)
Featured: Wattpad Poetry Feb 2022 My times spent having conversations about life, longing and love.....with myself. In the company of solitude, I attempted to pen down a few lines on a range of emotions and experiences with a simple aim to revisit them in future. I urge the reader to join me and relive his and her own memories and find themselves. There are a few quiet conversations with 'her' as well. She visits seldom these days, busy with others seeking her. I miss her - 'life'. Hope we find meaning in our little conversations with ourselves and life.

The depths of my mind and dialogue of it all. My thoughts. My fakeness. My lies. My confessions. My Raw mental conversations. My weakness. My complicated life. The nonsense that creeps up in my head when I'm thinking. There is no need to understand. There is no need to feel pity. This is Thursday.
FALL NOT (COMPLETED NOVEL)
SYNOPSIS. Four different souls, different past and different wounds but entangled in the same string of life. Will they either choose to lose the grip and fall or choose to hold onto it. She is but a fragile glass who goes through lots of slow-cracking vague touches in her life, as she attempts to escape from the vulnerability she's chained in, she's slowly falling into pieces. He adores mending things yet fails to see in himself a bruised life. Fell into a comfortable sense of existence but with the absence of desired happiness. She wrote everything down, from her spine to her heart's pumped blood. The flowery words pulled her deeply to drowning confusion and was imprisoned inside a flickering hope. He kept everything in one suffocated space, suppressed and bound together. He has walked over denied emotions, heavier than clouds formed on top of a four-cornered shelter he filled with bitterness. Life on earth is confusing, as if you were cornered with the mirror of your past that triggers you to reminisce your unhealed scars It pushes you to reckless decisions assuming it holds a piece of a puzzled future and unable to perceive the goodness of the present timeComplete
