freedom is my birth right
freedom is not a flower that blossoms over night 
it is a mountain of molten lava
rising and spreading and cooling across the crust 
it is attacked by the wind and cold 
freedom is a clay you can mould 
it is up to you what you create 
it is a decision to be made 
freedom is a child sitting in the classroom asking question after question 
it is the writer seeking the right word for his poem 
or the painter seeking the perfect colour 
because in freedom there is a certain valor and truth 
 Freedom is to aspire 
it is thee young boy hitting sixes in his street in pursuit to be the next big cricketer 
it is the young boy copying actors in banaras to be on glowing billboards 
it is the boy holding a candle in his hand to fight for justice for a rape victim 
it is the rape victim going on national television to spit in the face of stigma 
and it is the stigma itself that is questioned with freedom 

it is an emblem of light to choose who it is you want to be 
a long haired poet who writes about world peace and nature
or a black caped lawyer who has a mind that is focused on justice
the choice is all yours 
because you see freedom is a state of awareness
it is as limited as you make it and as infinite as the confines of your mind 
freedom is not what you find when you look around you 
but when you search within yourself 
it is how much you make of the freedom that you get 
because at the end of the day 
it is you who ignites the flame of freedom 
                                                                                                                                                          yours always shania

MY DESTINY WITH YOU by QuirkyNikitha
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Azar Dua Mir was fine with being a shadow everywhere. Nobody necessarily acknowledged his presence every time. He was a force of nature, calm and serene like the sea waves during sunset. While capable of devastating everything around him if provoked. He had a tough childhood, lives in a complicated joint family, yearns for affection, and is extremely ambitious for his future. Ambitious to not die in poverty. He never had anything easy in life. The ambition of a rich and powerful life was his single aim. Then he met- Ayesha Abadal. "She was a beautiful princess living in the dazzling tower-way out of my reach. I might be beneath her in status, power, and money but I was innately ambitious. And now... she is my ambition. Deedar hua jab unka pehli baar, ishq ki gehraiyan dekhi Bas khud se wada kar liya tha, Meri ankhri sanson mein sirf unka naam hoga." {from her first gaze, depth of love flared my interest. In my last breath, her name would be the last whisper on my lips} Ayesha Abadal was a complete package of all the colors of life. Vibrant like yellows, bubbly like pink, innocent like blue, strong like red, soft like lavender, and so on and on. Just like her never-resting thoughts and imaginations. She wasn't worried about the future, lived in the present moment, was a proud member of the BTS army, and was a filmy girl. She never had to face the hard knocks of life. "He was the manifestation of my every dream. He was the only man in my life who blessed me with beautiful promises and the agony of broken promises." Never been in love but has the confidence to cherish the feeling. Two people from different worlds are set up to build their perfect world. What happens when they realize their dream life is falling apart, will sparks fly once again? Will they realize that the love they've both forgotten is exactly what they need to survive?

"Where There Is Love, There Is Pain" "Can love happen twice with the same person?" Letting go of someone you love is never easy, and the scars left behind can be deep. .....................🩵 she asked, "What's special today?" "Our 4-year anniversary," I said, my voice gentle, as if saying it aloud would remind her of the love we shared. Oh, I forgot," she muttered, Will you be my girlfriend again, my moon? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? I want to spend my life with you, to have children, to grow old together. Will you be my wife?" Silence. Her tears fell freely now, but they weren't tears of happiness. Her face was pale, her body trembling. I stood up, panic rising in my chest. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be your lover anymore. I'm scared of becoming your wife. I don't want to bring a child into a world where they'll suffer. Let's break up, Abhay." ......................🩵 (Optional to read) The distance from a heart you cherish creates an unbearable ache, leading you to act as if you've forgotten them. Yet, that separation doesn't just distance two souls; it transforms one, giving birth to a new identity shaped by pain. A sweet soul can become arrogant, an excited heart may turn into a depressed one, hiding behind a mask of false smiles. This is the story of two souls-Jeevana and Abhay-whose love was shattered by fear. Four years later, they find themselves on opposite paths. Jeevana, now a talented artist, conceals her sorrow with a smile, while Abhay has become a successful but cold businessman in the gaming world. Fate intervenes, bringing them face to face once again. In this tale of love and second chances, they must confront the past and decide if they can forgive and heal together, or if the wounds of their history will keep them apart forever.
