My Love (Vidya)

shalini-vidya

Death blooms in my room
In blinding shades of crimson
More alive than life ever was
With fiery passion—ambition.
I submit to him
How can I not?
The kind of love that I yearned for
Has finally arrived.

— Vidya

Once the ideal work life gets standardised, is it possible to disassociate from a similar standard of leisure? Does its pervasiveness allow for such a severance from this standard? Our correspondent Anshira ponders on this in her latest article. In the latest HSSpeak article, our content editor Eshani explores the evolution of body horror: how do contemporary writers subvert patriarchal and capitalistic forces through this genre?
