Some poems feel like confessions whispered into the night, and โEchoes of You: Where the Music Holds Meโ by Aaransha Shankar is one of them, a piece where yearning softens the darkness and memory becomes its own kind of light. The poem drifts through the quiet hours, where songs revive the moments once lived, the shared laughter, the library corners and the comfort of someone who felt like home. Music becomes the thread tying past to present, stitching the slow ache carried between moonbeams and familiar melodies. This one's a gentle exploration of how love lingers even when presence doesnโt, how a single tune can hold an entire history. Step into this world of memories intertwined with music.

THE CITY THAT ONLY EXISTS IN MY DREAMS
Some cities are carved in stone, while others in memory; but in โThe City That Only Exists in My Dreamsโ by Aaransha Shankar, itโs a will-oโ-wisp you run after to catch. Here, time and science lose their direction, as dreams lure you into comfort every night, dissipating into the air as the dawn breaks. The poet paints escapism as stepping into a realm where limits fall away, and the self feels infinite. This dreamscape is a mirror asking us to reflect: is belongingness in the waking world bound by its limits, or in the eternal city within our sleep? The fresh perspective on the fine line between the realm of dreams and reality is intriguing, worth reflecting upon. Step inside and see where this soulful piece might take you.

The Show that gave me Sentience: Bojack Horseman.
"Back in the 90s, I was in a very famous TV show..." "The Show That Gave Me Sentience" might seem like a bold claim, but anyone whoโs watched Bojack Horseman knows itโs not an exaggeration. Beneath the veneer of vibrant animation and talking animals lies a story that isnโt afraid to dig deep, to expose the uncomfortable truths about fame, failure, addiction, and the desperate, often misguided, search for happiness. Sukaina Naqvi takes us through the brilliance of Hollywoodโs most washed-up sitcom star and explores how a cartoon horse and his equally chaotic companions manage to hold up a mirror to our deepest fears, flaws, and fleeting moments of hope. Bojack Horseman is the kind of show that sticks with you, for better or for worse.
Oh, how I crumble for you
Love, jagged and unrelenting, often feels like the most twisted curse of them all. Yet the narrator yearns for it to linger just a little longer. Even as her grip around his throat tightens, he wants her to stay. The tie she once fixed with such tenderness now tightens around his neck. And as she sheds his tears for him, something inside him slowly crumbles. In his most vulnerable confession, the narrator wishes he could say it was all a lieโanything to ease the pain, to make her leave with less of a wound. But the truth is never that easy. He surrenders to memories of a happier time, of moments when they promised never to part, as he prepares to ask her one final question. What question does he ask her? Discover the answer in the poem "Oh, how I crumble for you" by Ujjwal Gupta, inspired by Arctic Monkeys' 505.

Why do People Colour Their Hair?
Back in school, dyed hair was a means to bring about penalties from teachers and disapproval from parents, but skip to college and many among us have rather chosen to express themselves by flaunting their favorite hues in their hair. Regardless of the popular opinion attached to those with dyed hair being rebellious and facetious, we see quite a few of our batch mates here at RML rocking a 'poppy' hair colour all the while excelling academically, socially, and professionally. This piece by Aditi Singh discusses how dying one's hair is a way of life for many people, sometimes for creative reasons and sometimes as a method of coping. It provides us a glimpse into the hidden emotions, feelings, and motives of the ones who choose to flaunt dyed hair.
