POEMS
The Girl
By Aarja Kochar
​
Yearning for a dream never to be fulfilled,
The Girl was deadly skilled.
Belittled until her name was lost in the shadows,
Chances of escaping this ghost of a world are very narrow.
​
There she goes, carrying her heart so fragile,
But then again, the clouds cry out at the glimpse of her smile.
Feeling thoroughly, catching every emotion in her wide net,
Her head in the clouds, The Girl always watched the white moon set.
​
It won’t be long ‘til she knows her heart unlike the back of her hand,
But there would still be grass untouched in her land.
With tiny glass pieces still piercing the skin of her soles.
Pieces that form a shadow from the past in whole ...

Hating
By Haphsa Rather
​
We live in a world, where there’s lot for hating
Hating on people, hating on races, then why don’t we stop
If its about races, then whats with George Floyd and cops
We are forgetting about the pressure its only about who tops
Nothing to happiness but considering everything when the GDP drops.
​
We have to start somewhere,
from us to men to women
to black and white,
to straight to gay
Let’s forget about what the people say
We shall put in our work & grind everyday ...

One chance
By Vanshika Jain
​
You tell me you see me less,
You tell me we can’t shine,
When we try to stand before you,
You throw us away like we’re trash.
You treat us like shadows,
Not realising you came into this world by us,
Instead of a man, you’re simply a wuss,
High time you treat us equal and not less ...
The Moon's Thoughts
By Shreya Sahai Bhatnagar
​
[You're the sun,
I'm the moon.]
Oh dear Sun, your colours are beautiful as ever,
They are worth seeing,
Whereas I am only dull and grey,
Nothing close to you.
You shine yourself,
So bright and elegant,
While I need your light to be seen,
Though it only shows my scars ...
Alone
By Vanshika Jain
​
I am alone, all alone,
Someone come have some fun,
I just wanna see the sun,
But not alone.
Your beauty is more,
Your knowledge is more,
How come I’m such a bore,
I don’t wanna be a bore anymore.
I'm alone, you’re alone,
I'm a bore, you’re a bore,
Come let’s change that once and for all,
Let’s be interesting and not alone ...
Lazy Lion
By Kritvi Bindals
​
Lion is the jungle’s king,
But he’s without a wing,
The lazy lion likes to lie down under the tree,
All day long because he’s free.
He likes to eat,
But only meat,
He loves his treat,
In his retreat ...
​
You
By Abha Kochar
​
I write this poem to you.
You and your hard to pen down physique.
And a personality that that requires words beyond my comprehension.
Maybe you exceed 10th grade literature and I need to expand my capabilities to fit you.
I write this poem to you
Pacing across my room, crumbling papers filled with self critique.
Lying awake at night, crossing out tasteless adjectives and metaphors.
Maybe words are incapable to describe the literary mystery that is you ...
YOU & I
By Vanshika Jain
​
You fight, I fight,
You cry, I cry,
You smile, I smile,
You break, I break.
It's always you & I,
You & I ruling the world,
You & I breaking the rules,
You & I simply living life.
Eternity is less,
For you who's a bless,
You’re so kind to love,
You’ve got me blinded by love ...
Hedgy Hedgehog
By Shreya Sahai Bhatnagar
​
Your spikes so spiky,
Your ears so floppy,
You’re so small and cute,
Oh, and how short are your arms! ...
Lost Girl
By Vanshika Jain
​
I’m lost, waiting for someone to find,
Waiting for someone to bind,
Yet you’d be blind to care,
Cause I’m nothing but a despair
Come find me, come bind me,
Ready to be blind just for you,
Do whatever but just stay,
So, the pain is spared.
I became numb to the pain,
All I do is wait for it to rain,
Can't tell you to stay in your lane,
Cause all I am is a lost girl ...
The Green Balloon Under The Sun
By Rubaab Bhatia
​
"Hey" she said to her overjoyed child,
“Here’s a green balloon for you,”,
She hands it over,
A happiness to her young mind,
"Should I have gotten a blue?".
"I love it mother",
"I love you too",
"I don't need another",
"Neither green nor blue" ...

Has the Internet led to an increase in Information Bias?
By Dhriti Pasrija
​
“It is in our human nature to follow trends,” Yuval Noah Harari said in his book "Homo sapiens", but are these trends always positive? It's safe to say humans are the most advanced species on the planet- Evaluating and understanding each other's behaviours has allowed us to grow. Globalization revolutionized the rate at which information was spread. Late into the 20th century, we were introduced to the internet – a platform to communicate globally ...
