Turning 20 // A letter to my teenage self

Dear Poorwa, I celebrated my 20th birthday this Christmas Eve. I was going to say “we” but I figure time has changed way too many things for us to be the same person anymore. I want to thank you first, obviously, for making the choices you have made and are going to make. You deserve…
First Four Months into My First Job // Part 2

In my last post, I talked about how it is like having acquaintances in your workplace. The post was getting a bit long so I promised to do a part 2, and here we are!! Today I’m going to share a few more of my experiences and lessons I’m learning from my first job that…
Four months into my first job – Here’s how my experience has been so far

The month following my graduation, I joined as a teacher at a private school in my hometown, and thus begins the tale of my first job experience. Technically, it’s been longer than four months, considering I joined on the 1st of July, but I was on leave for 21 days in August (for reasons I’ll…

What hosting a game show taught me // Lessons learned in college

It’s quite annoying to do something when someone adds “I dare you to…” in front of your task, but when it’s your inner-self presenting the dare to you, it…
Would you be there for me?

Hey there! This is Poorwa. There are so many things I want to write about and share with y’all but I just don’t know where to start. A lot has been going on but also at the same time, I feel stuck. The last semester of my bachelor’s programme starts today and on the outside,…
the shadows know we don’t belong

We exchanged love letters disguised as poetic metaphors. Altered every schedule to say hello before somebody else does, changed my route back home just to see you turn around – just for once. ………………………………………………………………………………..In another life, would be I someone prettier who doesn’t wait for another chance. You would take me home when my feet…
