_**About the Author**_
 Aishee has a tea for every mood. Lavender green tea for 
homesickness, strawberry white tea for joy and chamomile for sorrow.

Her only long-term goal is to spend a year in Paris. In the balcony of a tiny apartment
overlooking a busy street or in tiny Parisian cafés, writing a book someone will
discover and publish posthumously.

She is marginally obsessed with cats and spends a lot of her time wishing she was
one. She meows at cats even when they don’t meow back.

_An ode to my motherland_

In your name, I cross lines
 Tonight, I ignite a fire Together we watch the world
burn Whisper – I love you Oh mother, motherland.

And I chant slogans of love.
 And I kill – one, ten, fifty-three. Watch them bleed
as my young blood Boils with love for you Oh mother, motherland.

I stack hate upon fear, fear upon rage
 All in the name of love, dear love. Tonight
I ignite a fire to appease gods. Come, watch the nation burn. Come, whisper – Jay
Shri Ram.
