It was the world’s worst break-up. After being a couple for almost seven years, they didn’t know what to do without the other. It was difficult to forget all those good times, and they both did lots of things to try and forget – the guy, for instance, drank cold milk with glucose all night [...]

I look out the window,
the rain, sweet, patters,
as I sit to think how
your tender smile to me, matters.
The scent of the Earth, heady,
the croak of the frog, steady,
the whistle of the leaves, music,
the rustle of the folds, magic.
The green of the leaves, pristine,
the smile of the forest, unseen,
the song of the bird, melody,
life [...]

Dear momma,
I have lived all these days listening to all my friends’ shrill, piercing cries. Everyday, I wake up thinking it’s going to be me today, but that just doesn’t happen. It is a bittersweet thing – you feel happy that you are alive and sad as you hear your friends, with whom you spend [...]

Ben, the snowman, was excited. It was that time of the year again. In a few minutes, he will be meeting his close friend, Ken, another snowman, after a long time, a year precisely. He kept scanning the horizon to spot any form that looked like his friend’s. He set his shawl right, adjusted his [...]

Love…
They met. It was another routine day. No breeze pushing strands of hair across her face, no stars in the sky worth lying down and watching, no shallowness of breath, no one’s heart beat fast, or slow. They said the same things, asked the same things and talked the same things. As usual. Like everyday. [...]

The little one peeped out, receiving her first rays of golden red sunlight, and warmth. She was a young, light green color, innocent and raw. The bleak early morning sun smiled at the young life sprouting. The little one looked about herself, yawning and seeing the world drenched in nectar like dew. As she looked [...]
