Your Wallet

A short poem about my pics in his wallet — You had me in your wallet for about 5 years… Wherever you went You took me with you… Highs and lows From street vendors to airports… I have seen coins and heavy notes… I have seen empty compartments and your newest debit cards… I have seen grocery lists and broken buttons next to me too… Your dad…

About Me — Rakshita Upadhyay

This is probably the hardest part for any writer- writing about oneself. As I sit here on a Sunday, hoping for the rain to come, I find it rather hard to ‘again’ write about myself. I have done it a hundred times, for social media bios, for job applications, for…

About Sadness — A Thought

As a child, I can’t recall what sadness really felt like. It was always buried inside trivial things that seemed so important at that time. It was always something that could be mended, or, at least, replaced… As I grew up, I realized that only a few sadnesses haunt us…

I Woke up to Minor Burns on a Sunday Morning — Here’s What I Learned

Enjoy this light-hearted article based on a real-life incident — To start with, the pain I am going through right now is telling me the burns aren’t a joke. But since I am still able to write, they aren’t that severe. I am just doing it because, for me, it’s the best way to let go of the pain. …

Spanish Sayings That Will Make Your 2022 a Little More Insightful

When I was in the third year of my college, I was depressed. I had no one to talk to, no one who could understand what I was going through. I was living in a hostel, and to make myself feel better, I decided to find motivating thoughts that no…

Dear Soulmate…

I don’t know if you believe in them. I don’t want you to agree with me. But when I see you or look inside those eyes, I always find glimpses of our past. A PAST that only comes back in deja vu, a past from a different life. …

Maybe It’s Not About — A Poem

On the ‘Maybe’ and ‘Maybe Nots’ — Maybe it’s not about FLYING HIGH All the time; into the vacant AIR Maybe it’s not about enduring all the pain Because you think you DESERVE it… Maybe it’s not about getting envious of the people watching you from a BETTER PLACE Maybe it’s not about fulfilling your childhood dreams… Maybe it’s not about always trying new things… Maybe it’s not about holding onto people you can’t leave…

It was a random day in May 2020 when I decided to pick one habit at a time- starting with daily journaling. I hate to admit it, but I use an app to…
