Pregnancy Diaries: Birth

The Fourth Trimester. Part I: The Hospital This one’s a doozy. You’ve been terrified of how barbaric giving birth is all through your pregnancy. There’s no winning here, when it comes to the pain, the bleeding, the recovery- regardless of the time of birth you have. But when D-Day finally…

Pregnancy Diaries: The Final Stretch

The Third Trimester: Ballooning Uncertainty — You start to look like a pop culture cartoon of a pregnant woman. You ballon.

Pregnancy Diaries: What No One Tells You

Gehraiyaan

It’s not about the sex — Let’s get this straight: Gehraiyaan is *not* a film about cheating and intimacy. I’m surprised by the outpouring of hate for Gehraiyaan. To me, this is a misunderstood film, largely in part to its sex-fuelled marketing strategy. This is a layered movie on adult relationships. On secrets. Misunderstandings. Money. Family…

the best years

free verse — dreading the bell. one more lunch in the library. you devour the books. you get the grades. imaginary friends on paper, in a foreign place. anywhere but here. is it always like this? school spirit. no drama, debate, sports. why won’t you try? you avoid the bus: you’re not going…

Grow Up

Prose Poetry — The first time I say I don’t want to have kids, I’m dismissed. You’ll grow up, things will change, wait until you meet the right person. When I meet the right person, and I say I don’t want to have kids, I’m dismissed. This is a honeymoon phase. Wait until…
