The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men.

What I Saw is a collection of poems about love, loss, silence, and the small moments that stay with us. These pieces move through quiet rooms, busy streets, and the spaces in between, noticing how people connect, how they miss one another, and how meaning can be found in the things we almost say. This book isn't about having answers - it's about paying attention. This is what I saw.

This collection of stream-of-consciousness reflections blends humor, self-doubt, philosophy, and personal observation as the narrator (me) explores creativity, identity, anxiety, compassion, technology, nostalgia, and the search for meaning in everyday life. Shifting between playful absurdity and sincere introspection, it reads like an inner monologue capturing the messy, amusing, and deeply human experience of growing up and learning to understand yourself. OR... dumbass writes words on paper. Full stop.

Verses for the tender and the tired

Random, pointless thoughts leading from nowhere to nowhere, inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground/The Underground Man. Philosophical rant book with controversial opinions, avoid if you are easily triggered.

This diary begins at the beginning. It traces a life as it quietly unfolds - from displacement and uncertainty, through unfamiliar places and people, and into something resembling home. Some entries are observational, some deeply personal, others quietly funny. All of them are honest. This is not a polished memoir or a story with neat chapters. It's life written as it was lived: one day at a time. Lessons arrive disguised as conversations. Control and kindness sit uncomfortably side by side. And belonging is something that grows slowly, almost without being noticed. The entries are shared in sequence, allowing the past to breathe before the present catches up. If you enjoy character-led realism, emotional undercurrents, dry humour, and the slow building of trust and purpose - start at page one.

A quiet journey back to a fragile past, where pain and innocence lived side by side. Through the eyes of a child who longed for warmth but found mostly silence, this story unfolds the small yet profound moments that shaped a life: a grandmother's love, a few golden ducklings, and the tender ache of growing up without understanding why things hurt. It's a remembrance of lost simplicity, a whisper from the heart that still searches for light.

A brilliant, emotionally isolated engineer builds an AI designed to mirror his own mind, only to discover-after living an entire alternate life-that understanding reality means relinquishing the need to control it.

The Sea holds many things-Even the memories we wish to forget, the feelings we tried to bury. But what if the waves push them back to shore?

A quick character study with Shibani Bhat while I'm stuck on Chapters 4 and 5 of The Extraworld.

"Whispers of the Vanished Woods" is a poetic piece that explores the ephemeral nature of life and relationships. Through the metaphor of a wondrous wood of trees, the poem delves into the transient existence of cherished connections and the profound impact of unexpected changes. The narrator grapples with the loss of something once deeply cherished, trying to move forward but finding themselves entangled in conflicting emotions. The verses paint a vivid picture of a fleeting beauty, shattered memories, and the struggle to comprehend the reasons behind life's twists and turns. This composition reminds readers of the importance of embracing impermanence and seeking meaning in the face of uncertainty.

A compilation of my best poems written during the month of August.
