A Letter to the Phone call, “Munazza, We received our Offer Letters.”

Dear Professors and My best friends

Keep sending letters of love through funny analysis of the students. Life has been marvelous lately with you both in it. The deep conversation in class about Macbeth's Condition to sympathise with Lal Ded on call lead to life like thunderbolt. Eight years with you both are so precious. Seems like diving in the ocean filled with waves to get rare pearls. You are my rarest pearls. I still remember Manisha (My Chahat) with a chandan teeka in the first class which reminded me of the lead actress from the tragic romantic Tere Naam. Haha, you're still my God loving woman. Ekta being an introvert with curiosity, and didn't sit together till Derrida's Lecture. As Derrida is most famous for the theory of deconstruction. It destroyed my thoughts for padhaku Ekta as being super friendly and smarty. Students are blessed with the presence of such wise minds in the classroom. I wish to attend classes soon and have tea in the staffroom together. ☕

You both are bold, intelligent, supercool with a witty sense of humour, I learnt that when we discuss newspaper headlines.🤭

I really miss you both. ‘We are the champions’ group which holds the picture captured by my beloved. So, I'm not changing that. Maybe or maybe not! Another dilemma. Let me end before my train of thoughts runs farther than Mrs Dalloway. I've to get some flowers, and then jump from the metaphorical balcony during wars of mind.

I miss sitting on small stools eating kulchas with Ekta's delicious sabzi, achar in front of the Art Faculty next to Amul Milk Dairy where our heart lingered for ice creams which we rarely ate because chai already calmed our chaotic minds filled with the confusing language of Shepherd's tale.

Meet me soon, missing you hugs and tales from the class, my ears are tired for keeping the phone for hours on ears. Don't mind my lame jokes! I know you won't ever.

Convey my salam to family, and nature around you.

Only Yours

Pitch, Poetry, and Parallel Times: What a Joka!📽️🍁✍🏼🗓️

कुछ कह दिया होता? कूर्ग का टिकट करा ही लिया होता? शायद सब बेहतर होता। The “if theory” is the wisest of all for the pitch — even for skeptical humans. Time traveling has always fascinated my mind, as it does for many of us. We often wish to leap into the future or alter the past. Last July, I unexpectedly got a call from the city of Jhilmil and Barfi. I felt the emotions exactly as Satyajit Ray’ s movies make us feel, with the metaphysical boundaries of dreams and reality, reminiscent of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry. Before my rotting thoughts could steal all the joy, as they did in the movie Lootera near lakes, I tried to reassemble my gratitude while being in sujood. Literature expertise would lead to an institute talking about consultancy. Phew! I never thought God’s pitch worked like that. If 25-year-old Munazza hadn’t heard that, she wouldn’t have thought of this pun: What a joka! No wonder I’ve stopped writing. Ideas only come in dreams, in waves, often butchered...

11:11? What a stupid wish-granting factory reset ⏳

Scene I Lights Camera Pen☀️ How lonely and lovely at the same time, To live in a castle of own, How strange and fluffy The winds from roof Where rain keeps showering Like dancing along. I keep singing poems While doing the laundary And hanging the clothes to go dry Some lose their charms Some crankles, some run Some turn out from black to greyyyyyyyy! I tip toe the work I Like it's an art! It's always always better to do work this way. It's easy, and lovely And as Mary⁵ and Bert⁶ says, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."¹ The people around notice nothing unusual as they're part of their own musicals. The kids love splashing in lakes, the women complete their everyday chores sharing emotions like an art, men walk around with an umbrella so dark making sure they hide their emotions, strangers both men and women whistle along (some hidden, most vague), cats own the roads and walk like Hadid sisters on Victoria's last ramp walk, lea...

A Love Poem, Finally🗺️🏡

Scribble, Scribble, Scribble, Crumbling another poem on paper without a word, Oh! Wait, scribbling on your skin.🪟 The beautiful arc of the stretch marks—I always wish I had one. Ammi had many; she told me Nani got some after giving birth to her. I stole a man with a scribble [strech marks]. Oh! I can't stop imagining the loud crackles during heavy rain- One in his eyes that I name his cheeks a land of tears, Other outside his window of the slurs people speak for him. Their ugly mindsets never come close to even his bin polythene. 🗑️ The man I stole wore long sleeves to hide the stretch marks. 👔 I wore long sleeves to avoid being questioned about my favorite burnt skin, “ Hey, what kind of mark are on your neck and forearms .” 👘 I am tired of telling them How much I love my burnt skin, As they made me a living story. Along the ocean of unbothered waves, I'm tired of his disgust for hating his stretch marks. Sometimes I carve a line or two, 🖋️...
