  I write, erase, rewrite Erase again, and then A poppy blooms. Novelty and innovation are the crux of today’s generation and so is the introduction of the term Haiku, because when no one can hear, words find meaning here. This is a beautiful modernism in the writing industry, encouraging and fostering the upcoming poets to put forth their talent and work.  What is Haiku? Haiku (hokku), is a Japanese verse of three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. The concept of Haiku started off in the thirteenth century. Earlier it used to be of hundred stanzas, however due to evolution and passage of time it broke away and was made shorter.  Renga, an oral poem was converted into a typical haiku by Matsuo Basho,                                        An old pond                               ...

  "Weaving the words  In a rhythmic line We live our pain twice But that's fine!" A poet is a person who beautifully frames the words, the feelings and the emotions in  such a manner that the reader feels the pain and joy behind those words. And poetry is something where a person anonymously pours his heart out.  Poetry evokes emotions, imaginations and elevates thoughts. It gives a sense of rhythmic composition to life making it more beautiful. When a poet writes, his piece of work is unique, but it follows a pattern. Poetry has various patterns and forms.

 "When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers it's halloween."  Here we are, back with two deadly characters. We know all of you here are well acquainted with these characters. We hereby are going to compare the evil residing in us with such infamous characters.  We've seen a lot of web series and movies and heard of many stories about witches.  They're crafty, devious and cunning, aren't they? Not every witch is evil, likewise not every living person is bad. Let's see what we find out about ourselves when we dive deep into the customs of witches. Witches are magicians, who are able to cast spells.They are profoundly known for their curses and deadly spells. Witches are keen to gain control over arcane. They’ll go out of their ways to solve the untold mysteries and secrets. Similarly, we humans, by wrong means, find out someone's weaknesses and then we use it against them, to prove to them that we are the best. When a ...

  As the last man on the earth sat alone in a room, he heard a constant knocking on his head, like something was going to explode. But something did explode, didn't it? The evil inside him did. Loud music came from the adjoining room but he almost slipped into an imaginary movie reel of all the devilish thoughts, actions, and traits he had let unfold in the past years. The music became almost deafening when he came to realise that in fact, he wasn't the last man on the earth, but he sure was the loneliest. With Halloween around the corner and all the peachy clothes we're wearing, it took a bit of introspection for us to dive deep into the evil inside us as humans. And since we are so well-versed with our infamous Halloween characters, we hereby try to compare our evil with their traits. Let's start with zombies, shall we? Zombies always represent ‘the other’ – the stranger, the outcast, the dark force, it exposes the underlying racial tensions amongst the society. The d...

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...

 “ Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings”    ~ Cherish Kramarae None superior, none inferior it's all about equality  Feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. Feminism is about respecting diverse women’s perspectives, opinions, strengths and striving to empower all women to unleash their potentials. It’s about levelling the playing field between genders, ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as men. The meaning of feminism is: advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.
