"Meant to Be" - A Poem by Keertana Kuchipudi

Meant to Be

We were a dream, beautiful momentarily;

Intense as we unfolded, tangled as we moved ahead.

Bound by improbabilities, striving to clear complexities;

Keeping at bay imprudence, yet turning naïve in company.

We weren’t meant to deliver a meaning, we were only meant to be;

Unfinished as we are, improbable as it had always been.

With beauty in uncertainty, hope in vanity;

Passion in sensuousness, emotions in soulfulness —

We were meant to be.

"Few Lines" - A Poem by Aishwarya Lakkakula

Few Lines

These few lines make me realize
That one day, I am to become a stranger;
When we become no one to each other.


These few lines hide underneath the tip of my soldier's eye.
They flow at the rate of my menstrual blood,
Strike me with a dying kick in my womb.


These few lines are the cigar to the ashes of infinite-half
That are sensationless and faint to the full-stop,
Yet to pierce through Othello, craves the lady with a lamp.


These few lines drop lifelessly, like feathers from my six-half inched hackle
That cry in letters worthless of thy mercy;
Love is ever gay if pure but a bane with no cure.

                                                                                   - Aishwarya Lakkakula (BA)

"Not Much of a Race" by Priya Dey

Not Much of a Race

Life is the practice of accepting the reality of a situation and being prepared to deal with it.

Life is extravagant and lived in hope of negotiating the prosaic world, welcoming life or accepting it convivially to ensure that you proclaim your spirit.

Life is innocuous; experiencing the best parts of it will make you genial.

But life seems increasingly remote from reality.
The more graphic reality seems to be, the more it drives life to the truth, and exemplifies life according to your own morals and virtues.


Experience life, be inspired, be original and give your spirit the light of hope. Don't be impatient, things will go right when you trust yourself and the almighty.

Yes, some situations may seem to punish your existence, but every problem has a solution, so elaborate your consciousness. Design your own adventures, fulfil your desires and walk sagaciously.

Life is an open book so pick your pen up, use it as your weapon, stand upright and give your desires an alluring significance.

Have Desire's perspective on discouragement. Resolve the apparent conflict between fear and confidence.


Trust humanity, be practical.
The more you fall, the more you learn.
The more you experience, the more you create.
Then, you can claim that life is astonishing: that life teaches us. It motivates, it emphasizes and surprises.

Live and laugh freely, follow your passions unapologetically, because your life is just the way you think. Detach all the malignant thoughts, progress securely and safely.
