I created my first HINDI POEM so please give a feedback even if it's really bad

हमारे घर का वो सफ़ेद पर्दा

जो अब नया नहीं लगता।

उसके पीछे

पुराने डब्बे पड़े हैं,

जो शायद कभी काम आएंगे।

एक लोहे का बक्सा भी है,

जो अपनी जगह बनाए बैठा है,

कुछ पुराने पेन और सूखे ब्रश भी पड़े हैं,

जिनमें से ज्यादातर अब चलते नहीं।

लिखते लिखते मेरी नज़र भी उन पर गई,

पर मैंने भी उन्हें वहीं रहने दिया।

कुछ पुरानी मैगज़ीन एक बक्से में रखी हैं,

जो कभी हर महीने आती थीं।

अब उनका वहाँ होना

किसी को अजीब भी नहीं लगता।

वो अब नई तो नहीं रहीं,

पर गईं भी नहीं।

इन सबके बीच

पता नहीं,

पर्दा उन चीज़ों को ढक रहा है,

या वो चीज़ें पर्दे को ज़रूरी बना रही हैं।

और मैं अभी भी

उसके सामने बैठा हूँ।

पंखे की हवा से

वो पर्दा हल्का सा हिल रहा है

और पीछे रखी चीज़ें,

बीच-बीच में झाँक रही हैं।

[Short Story] A door to unlock.

She approached the unfamiliar door and nervously took the key from her pocket. She took a deep breath, unlocked the door, paused, then opened it. To her horror, she saw a body lying by it, the room filled with an unbearable horrid stench. The body must've been there for atleast a few months, she judged by the decay. As the sight of it all began to slowly settle in her head, a new thought started to take shape in it, terrorizing her. She prayed and wished desperately for it to be untrue and for the first time in nearly two months wished for her daughter to not be found. The face was no longer recognisable, thanks to the bugs helping themselves to the rare human bounty.She quickly began searching for signs to soothe her loudly thumping heart. She looked at the dirt laden clothes for signs of beautiful pastel-colors and traces of laces. Just as she relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes fell on the pair of one-of-a-kind, vintage brown boots she spent months searching for.

The end.

Im looking for feedback, so pls feel free to be as brutal as you want. 'A door to unlock' title not only refers to the actual door that the woman had to unlock but also a new phase or chapter in her life as she finally comes to terms with the fact that her daughter has been found, dead.

My dad and uncle are forcing me to give bank exams

I graduated yesterday, and instead of feeling happy. My dad and uncle are forcing me to give bank exams, but I genuinely don’t want to. I know it’s stable and respectable, but my heart is just not in it. I want to seriously pursue UI/UX design and build a career in that field instead. Every conversation at home turns into pressure, advice, or guilt, and it’s mentally exhausting. I want to build my own path, but right now I feel trapped between what I want and what everyone else wants for me.

The Call Bell From Room 214👁️

“I work night shifts at a small hospital, mostly in the old recovery wing that almost nobody uses anymore.

Last week, around 2:40 AM, I heard one of the patient room call bells ringing repeatedly from Room 214. The weird part was… that room had been empty for days.

I thought maybe maintenance was checking something, so I walked over there. The hallway lights kept flickering the closer I got.

The call bell suddenly stopped.

When I opened the door, the room was completely dark except for the heart monitor near the bed.

It was on.

And showing a pulse.

Slow… steady beeping.

There was nobody in the room.

I immediately called security, but before they arrived, the monitor flatlined on its own.

The next morning, one of the older nurses asked me if I heard the bell from 214.

She looked genuinely uncomfortable when I said yes.

Apparently, a patient died there years ago during a power outage.

At exactly 2:40 AM.”

Need copywriter

Fed up with AI-generated writing. Can someone recommend some genuine copywriters whose writing style is a mix of humor and nostalgia? Writing will be used for an Instagram carousel and reel for a brand.
