A War Between Two Giants I came to Iran not to fight a war, but to fight poverty. A simple housemaid with dreams of breaking a curse over my family, I had no idea that missiles would fall from the sky before hope could rise from the ground. Now, trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building, with my body crushed and only one hand able to move, I write-because if these are my final moments, they will not vanish in silence. This is not just a story about politics or power. It's a story of a mother who only wanted to give her five-year-old daughter a better life. A story of dust and broken bones. Of drones and stealth jets. Of prayers whispered beneath concrete. Through real research, raw truth, and one last heartbeat of hope, I document a war that the world watches-but civilians live. Because in the war between two giants, it's the innocent who are buried in their footsteps.

🜂 "Rudra: The Flame Without Name" (A Poetic Ode to His Journey) > Born beneath three moons' embrace, A crownless child, a throne displaced. No Cosma marked his mortal skin, Yet storms of fate still stirred within. > A prince in halls where silence reigned, Their smiles for others, love detained. No mother's warmth, no brother's cheer- Just servants' whispers he learned to hear. > He named himself. For none would dare. "Rudra," he said. "I breathe the air. My blood is thin, my heart is loud, I do not need their praise or crown."_ > With twin blades dulled by time and rust, He carved his strength through pain and dust. In forests dark, through cult and flame, He faced the void and earned his name. > A gem upon his brow would shine, A gift from Time and Space divine. Yet powers bloomed not out of grace, But will to rise despite disgrace. > He fell, he bled, he stood again, While nobles scoffed and kin disdained. Yet still he walked, alone, unknown- A soul of fire with heart of stone. > No god announced his coming bright, No comet flared across the night. But when the world begins to break, They'll learn the flame they did forsake. > He is Rudra- The Child Unchosen. The Star Reborn. The Sword Awoken.

"I was waiting for you that time, but you didn't come"

The world is shifting, and the ones we once trusted have fallen. In the age of Kali Yuga, the righteous are no longer spared. The balance of power tilts, and the truth is buried beneath the ruins of a crumbling world. But amidst the wreckage, a voice remains. A whisper of resistance. A question that lingers-what happens next? Dive into End is Certain, a poem that challenges reality, fate, and the illusions we cling to. Read now. Because truth won't wait.

Behind forgotten walls, the room rested like a memory no one dared disturb - cloaked in dust, shadows, and the scent of something lost. It held a silence too thick for words, a stillness too deep to be empty. The air itself seemed to guard a truth no one had spoken in years. Rhea, Yara, and Reyan stood within it - three souls surrounded by whispers they couldn't yet hear, in a space that felt both unfamiliar and hauntingly theirs. The walls pressed inward, heavy with things left unsaid. They thought nothing could break their bond - until secrets began whispering through the walls of a forgotten village villa. When Rhea's nightmare collides with Reyan's discovery and Yara's silence, what they find isn't just a memory... it's a warning. It wasn't just a room. It was a secret with a heartbeat. Some secrets don't want to stay buried.

This poem feels like sitting in your room at night, phone in your hand, scrolling through people who look like they've got it all figured out while you're just... waiting. Waiting for someone to notice you, to really see you, to tell you that you matter. It's that quiet ache nobody talks about, the one we cover with fake smiles and posts that say "I'm fine." But the way it's written doesn't just stay in the sadness. There's this flicker of hope in it too like maybe, even if we don't say it out loud, we're all hoping the same thing: to be enough for someone, somewhere. It's vulnerable, it's messy, it's real and that's exactly why it hits so hard.
