Late February: Three Goals Accomplished
As the Ancient Greeks used to say, “The Gods have smiled upon me this moon cycle, giving me abundance in crops and goods and smiles and levity.” Or something. Some of their stuff is difficult to translate/make up. But no, February has been kind to me in 2025. Or have I just been working hard, and February has rewarded my hard work accordingly?

What Is It That Makes Us Write?
If you have been following and reading what I have had to say since the summer of 2020 (doesn't really have the same poetic ring to it as Bryan Adams 'summer of 69' does it...) then you will see that I have been quite a keen writer, both here at Vocal and over on another writing platform called Medium.

"Echoes of the Neon Sky"
The rain in Solara City never touched the ground. High above, translucent shields redirected water into vast collection tanks, where it was purified, filtered, and redistributed in endless cycles. The city thrived beneath these barriers, a utopia of chrome and glass, where every street gleamed under neon veins and every breath was filtered through the city's air-purification systems.

The Rebellious Spirit of a Brown Girl: Growing Up Against the Odds
I belong to India where a lot of expectations are placed on brown girls. It entails carrying the burden of the "good girl" stereotype all the time. Society expects me to prioritize other people's viewpoints over my own, frequently at the expense of my goals and ambitions. It is rebellion to defend myself. Even if it costs me to respect people who are trying to destroy my life, I must keep quiet and listen. A girl already had so much pressure the day she was born. But what about the boys? Brown girls are always instructed to sit properly, not laugh loudly, not talk to boys and always be docile and soft. Why is a girl's gender the requirement to clean the house or be in the kitchen?

Ink, Water, and a Little Bit of Bravery
I ran my fingers along the edge of the thick watercolour paper, feeling the texture beneath my touch. It was still slightly damp from the last wash of colour, but I couldn’t wait any longer. The colours had settled, and I needed to see how it looked in the frame.

The Last Hope of Liberty
The sky over the United States had never looked so uncertain. The great nation, founded on ideals of freedom and justice, now teetered on the edge of collapse. The year was 2042, and the America most people knew—the land of opportunity, the beacon of democracy—had become something else entirely.
