Author: anvituteja

As an Avid Blogger, I, Anvi Tuteja, am elated to present my blogsite – Anvi’s Thoughts Caught – as an amalgamation of my literary enterprise, poetic endeavours, day-to-day blogs, and other creative interests. Here is a bit about me: https://anvituteja.com/about-me/ Anvi Tuteja is a master mischief maker, secretly plotting world domination from her imaginary window seat in Gurgaon, India. She’s an aspirant philosopher, first-time author and a die-hard Potter Head. She sidelines as an Oracle of Prophesies, blogger at WordPress and her family’s self-appointed movie buff. Anvi has been reading and writing since she was three years old. For her, poetry is a coping mechanism, and in her words – one that doesn’t judge, doesn’t lie and doesn’t make you feel like you’re wrong for simply being the way you are. Anvi Tuteja is a bundle of contradictions – she reads, but binge-watches anything Marvel; she doesn’t have a social media presence, but she writes a secret diary; and she is a walking Shakespeare encyclopedia, but also a constant music streamer. In all her work, from her regular posts at her blogsite – http://www.anvituteja.com to her TEDx talk about New Emerging Technologies – Anvi Tuteja does it all with heart, impatience and love.

SEVEN TIMES: that’s how many times i’ve fallen in love with you – OVER AGAIN

anvituteja

Reputation Presents SEVEN TIMES
that’s how many times i’ve fallen in love with you
OVER AGAIN

SEVEN TIMES
that’s how many times i’ve fallen in love with you
OVER AGAIN
seven times stylized
seven times stylized

I’ve fallen hard, fallen fast,
fallen so hard that there’s no coming back,
no, there’s no coming back…

And maybe I don’t want there to be one either,
baby, baby, for your maybe, I’d stay here waiting for forever,
waiting here for forever…

I’d bring home the stars, if you only asked me to,
I’d drive the blade in deeper, as long as holding the knife was you,
holding the knife was you…

I’d die a thousand deaths, I’d live a thousand lives,
as long as you were the one, always by my side,
standing by my side, through it all…

And maybe it could work out, for you and me,
no longer two sides of a broken life, someday you’ll see,
I promise, someday you’ll see…

I remember the story, the farce that we told the world,
but baby, when did we start believing in it ourselves?
believing in it ourselves?

When did we start giving up, [falling] for the lies that they entailed?
a whole world, waiting for you and me,
just waiting to be seen…

Rewind: Evly, The Evil Queen

anvituteja

Readers, do you remember Evly, The Evil Queen? Featured in Reputation, this acclaimed poem represents a person who has been misunderstood their entire life, through the fictional story of a Queen being denied not only her birthright but also her right to herself.
In a male-dominated society, a woman, especially a Queen, is expected to maintain some degree of conformity and bow down to her male counterparts, or else she is declared “clinically” insane (as shown in writings on the wall with the semblance of the yellow wallpaper), denied a right to exist as she likes (SADIST), or declared “EVIL” and chased with pitchforks and proofs (Evly, The Evil Queen).
Thus, Evly embraces her dark side and becomes the so-called “Evil Queen,” and even at her end, is content with becoming a symbol not of war, but of peace, as she leaves behind her memoirs, self-aware after having spent a lifetime begging for footnotes in the stories of other’s lives.

People tend to be creative,
When they’re condemning others…

Go check out Evly, The Evil Queen now on Anvi’s Thoughts Caught, and read more such poems in Incandescence, the debut novel of Anvi Tuteja.

Incandescence is an anthology of poems that brings a fresh and new perspective to the realm of poetry. Incandescence symbolizes struggle and more importantly, overcoming that struggle to transcend barriers to become something truly incandescent. Read more at https://anvituteja.com/incandescence/.

Evly, The Evil Queen
I was the bond, the glue, the solvent that saved the kingdom,
And because I wanted more, I was no longer Daddy’s Good Little Girl,
And they said, I killed the King, but I just wanted my very own Queendom.

writings on the wall

This is an edit and Part II of broken dreams and tried strings, available on Anvi’s Thoughts Caught only!

writings on the wall – a broken dreams and tried strings edit
fallen raindrops and whispered words,
do the fallen raindrops,
make an iridescent glow?
do the words you whispered,
make the winds blow – just a little more?

because i can still hear the musings,
still see the writings on the wall,
those blissful words we felt together,

they come back to me every time,
every single time i close my eyes,

this feels like the room with yellow wallpaper,
and i’m clawing desperately,
trying to break free from these bonds of this mind of mine,

they tell me i’m broken,
they tell me it’s the end,
they tell me fighting’s hopeless,
yet i persist,

i have to,
i can’t stop,
because if i stop,
it might be forever,
i can’t call swan song,
because it might not be true,

all i can do is swear by the writings on the wall,
waiting and wishing for the tried strings and the broken dreams,
to do something, anything, after all this sh*t we went through,

and as i stand in this crumbling room,
the golden hue is dying out,
yet the writing on the wall is unchanged,
like an unheard omen, it beckons me,

listen, it calls,
if you can hear me, it whispers,
do NOT let them know…

Rewind: Intrepid Eternal Unravels

anvituteja

Readers, do you remember Intrepid Eternal Unravels? Featured in Incandescence, this acclaimed poem, highlights the importance of freedom and permanence of thoughts. In a world of editing, double-crossing and misconceptions, inked words (or metaphorically compared to Intrepid Eternal Unravels,) are the only evidence of permanence left. Yet this measure of sincerity is a dwindling art in this digital world.

That’s what I love about inked words,
You can’t ever change love to hate.

Go check out Intrepid Eternal Unravels now on Anvi’s Thoughts Caught, and read more such poems in Incandescence, the debut novel of Anvi Tuteja.

Careful how much you end up pushing me away,
You never know how much I’ll end up liking it there,
And my flaws; huh, like I don’t end up thinking of them every single day,
But if you say it one more time, I’m done I swear,

Because Remember, Time is money and money is mine,
And I won’t fight for love if you won’t meet me halfway,
So tell me what you want, or get out of this mind of mine,
And your excuses won’t work anymore, no matter what they say,

That’s what I love about inked words,
You can’t ever change love to hate,
That truly lasts forever, no changes to new hurts,
Whatever’s been said has been said, now it’s too late,

Because it’s done and dusted, the chapter’s published,
And you should know this isn’t a licence to hate you,
But whatever was said was…

And I’d say it was pure fiction, and it is (but only barely.)
Also, maybe a bit different than my other poetry in wandering poet or the real me, but is actually fresh writing (and promises hope for the future, perhaps something like illusion or optional nostalgia), unlike Transcript, which spent three months in my drafts before I felt I could publish it.)

searching for something
anything
that could make you feel like you were worth something

If you need some of my lighter poetry, perhaps try Stories, Queen of Nowhere, Black and White, or of course, the love anthem called Love Yourself Like I Do Myself.

Don’t worry, dear readers – I’m perfectly fine after writing this…made me feel much better, not depressed 🙂
And I’d say it was pure fiction, and it is (but only barely.)
Also, maybe a bit different than my other poetry in wandering poet or the real me, but is actually fresh writing (and promises hope for the future, perhaps something like illusion or optional nostalgia), unlike Transcript, which spent three months in my drafts before I felt I could publish it.)

sometimes i don’t know why i keep trying
looking for your fleeting approval
you’ve got me running around
wrapped around your little finger
searching for something
anything
that could make you feel like you were worth something

but you say, ‘No.’
and it feels like the world has come crashing
first, second, or last
if it doesn’t even matter
why do i try one, two, three, four thousand times?
the losing side, don’t even try
the ones who win by losing are the real illusionists

the tears are a comfort now
my only solace is the freezing isolating warmth
silently rolling down my cheeks
i used to want to die
that was then
i already know i’m dead
that is now

melodrama was my greatest companion
but misery loved company
till i came stumbling ‘round here
i feel like i’m a lifetime older
loneliness is the greatest hell
you can never escape alone
guess i’m spending an eternity down here

another thing i didn’t know way back when
back Before it happened
was sometimes i’d come to long for this
comforting fleeting make-you-feel-alive
– optional nostalgia –
does this make sense?
guess i’m so far gone i don’t really care

Could This Really Be The Ending?

In other light news, I achieved first place in a school competition. (yay!) It was a debate about water shortage. I’ll publish my speech here too; the issue is INCREDIBLY concerning in the current times, and I hope we can all work together to achieve SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Transcript

Presenting – the latest in Reputation – Transcript

Love? (sigh) Love…convolutes things,
-What do you mean?-
I mean exactly that – Love complicates matters,
It –
It doesn’t even matter at this point.

-And what about Love? Have you never wondered?-
Love is for children,
and fools,
And I feel privileged to consider myself neither.

Do you know why?
-Why what?-
Why I will never let myself love anyone,
-Why?-
Because youth is wasted on the young.
[LEAVES]
-Wait, what? Wait.-
-Wait.-

My Mission with Speak Up! Act Now!

anvituteja

When I was in third grade, I first learned about climate change—a topic that both fascinated and alarmed me. Curious and concerned, I asked my parents what the world was doing to combat this global issue. Their response was disheartening: despite the urgency of the problem, India’s so-called “GREEN” budget was decreasing instead of increasing. This revelation stuck with me, sparking a desire to understand more and to do more.

By seventh grade, as a first-time Model United Nations delegate, my research into the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deepened. I learned about the failures of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the urgent need for the SDGs to step up and protect our world. Inspired by global figures like Greta Thunberg, I knew that action was necessary—now, not later.

Motivated by my peers and the critical issues at hand, I founded Speak Up! Act Now! —a platform dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring positive change. As a published author and avid blogger, I wanted to use my voice to make a difference, believing that my generation doesn’t need to wait to grow older to create a better tomorrow.

At Speak Up! Act Now!, we believe that every young person has the power to drive positive change. Our mission is to create a platform where every voice can be heard, fostering expression, leadership development, and social responsibility. We encourage people to speak up against injustices, volunteer in their communities, and lead by example.

Whether through Zoom sessions, blog articles, or on-the-ground actions, we’re committed to spreading our message far and wide. The heart of our mission is simple: to empower young voices to make a lasting impact on their communities and the world

Join us as we continue to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Together, we can create a world where every voice matters and every action counts.
