I’ve let pulsating fingers scuffle through my hair in … Continue reading →

Featured Images by Mithra Menon (Left) and Jay Mehta (Right) “Side de, side de,” shouted the bus conductor, almost unknowingly, like how one touches their face a hundred times per some seconds, thought Manish, too exhausted to fact-check, or, perhaps, too in a hurry to care enough. Well, meet Manish. A handsom- “Oh hello sir, … Continue reading →

Filter Coffee Formalities

Featured Image by Jayalakshmi Rangarajan We’ve frequented this particular coffee shop for Sunday breakfast for as long as I can remember. Possibly even longer than that, considering Ma and Papa have been regulars here ever since they got married. The scrambled eggs on toast may have gradually shrunk over the decades, but my family’s loyalty … Continue reading →

Shuffling Through Time

before there were poems in this house, there was rummy; a pack of 52 playing cards in their plastic homes, stacked on the tallest shelf ever, my 4 year old hands couldn’t reach there. All the transgressions my grandma allowed- a whole bottle of coke, a CID marathon starting at midnight, but the cards were … Continue reading →

Warm Winds and Swallowing Fear

Featured art by Maggie Stephenson  The sky is overcast.  It has been this way since I woke up, which was earlier than usual, because the tightness in my chest would not allow me to sleep in. The air is thick and slow, and the slight breeze carries the heat off the tarred road in front … Continue reading →

Seasonal Sadness But Make it Witchy

Posted on December 31, 2018 by esthesiamagazine • Leave a comment

The sun sets early these days, and as someone who is completely powered by the sun and her light, I’ve fallen into an all too familiar pattern of occasional sadness.

An Edition of ‘Ease’  She dove in – a stream of Sunlight – through the open window. A dance with the curtains, a sweep across the room. Slowly, she lazed over my crumpled bed sheet, like a drowsy cat, ruffling the blue and yellow flowers on it. (The same flowers that a bee once thought … Continue reading →
