That day was bizarrely strange. Ryan wasn't as excited as he used to be, on seeing me after work. The normal fooleries and enthusiasm were lacking in him. He came up with a sly smile, threw his arms around me and gave a quick hug. He went back peacefully to what he was doing earlier despite having the [...]
The Unspoken truth!!
It was pouring heavily outside accompanied by the fireworks of nature. She sat on the couch with her legs curled up and thinking deeply. One often gets nostalgic or feels low with such weather. But she was least shaken by it. Her eyes were clear and her face straight. Her hair, which was rebonded lately, [...]
The Prejudice!!
I was rushing to get to my class as I had already been late for my post lunch session. As the hostel was very close to the college I always had wrong judgement about time. On top of that I made it a practise to take a short nap after the extremely unpalatable lunch offered [...]
“It often happens” ..
The sky was a clear black that night. I could stare at the sky and stand still for hours. Gazing at the star filled sky had always given me an inexplicable pleasure. I had this silly thing in me from childhood, and as I sat on the bench at the playground, trying to pin the [...]
BFF
That evening I stepped out of the house as usual and went to A's house which was just a foot away. I only had to shout out her name for a small chat and she would appear in the veranda with all ears. Quite bored at home, I felt like meeting her for the usual [...]

As usual the school bus dropped me in front of my house and I ran past the gate. Sitting on the stairs at the entrance I removed my shoes and threw it to one side. I headed towards the door wondering why my Mom failed to open the door that day. I fumed. I need [...]

Onam – The reminiscences of a gaiety
That morning was exceptionally beautiful. The nature was charmingly bordered with fog. The tiny globs of water gave life to the little flowers. I wondered why I never got to see these delightful sights. Was it the morning sun spreading the magic? I suppose not. I never used to get up so early and lounge [...]
An ode to Motherhood!
"Yes. The little hands are moving. I can feel it." I said feeling proud. "is it? Let me get a feel of it." My mother moved towards me on the couch to gently touch my little bump. But the baby didn't move. "You are only 22 weeks. How is that possible?" Mom looked skeptical. " [...]
Football Fever!
It had always appeared to me like an orb of black and white patches. I had never found anything striking or interesting about it. Most of the girls might agree to my statement. Yes. I am talking about our very own Football-The game played wid a ball n some steads, which wins millions of hearts". [...]
