This one time...
Grace bit her lips in apprehension as she muted the phone and scribbled something on her pad. After a final confirmation, she thanked and hung up. Paced the floor in confusion, as her hands scanned her face while tears were rolling down in unison. "I think I can do this," she muttered.
Picked up her purse, latched the door, and drove to her destination.
As she opened the door to her

Review of Wrong for the Right Reasons by Ritu Lalit
Wrong
For The Right Reasons
by
Ritu Lalit
The Blurb
Shyamoli Verma’s timing is wrong. In her late twenties, she finds that her marriage is irrevocably broken. She comes back to her parents with her pre-teen son and an infant daughter, only to find that she is unwelcome.
Independent and brash, she decides to bring up her children and also get a divorce without any support

The above picture reminds me of, "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Nah, not that movie!
The different dimensions of life that we encounter on a daily basis.
We could define it as challenges, disputes, dares that lead to a forced ultimatum during the day. But, we survive the day and go on to see the sunrise next morning.
Phew!
The various shades of clouds in the above picture reminded me of those

Awareness of PACS1
Ever heard of PACS1?
Neither did I until I heard from my blogger friend, Kerri, who was trying to spread awareness about it cause her kid; Bridget was recently diagnosed with it.
She is "just" the 20th child in the whole wide world to be diagnosed with it.
Kerri's maternal instincts knew that Bridget had an unknown syndrome. Her blog name was "undiagnosed but okay!"
But she was

Reversal of roles..
On 14th of February, St. Valentine is commemorated in the name of courtly love. Little did the Romans realize that the world will celebrate that date with grandeur and glory.
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

This day observes second biggest celebration after Christmas where sales of greeting cards reach a record height since

Do Memories haunt you?
I have been breathing oxygen for about forty plus years, and that little sponge material on my north floor has captured, saved, seized many incidents of my life that I have experienced so far...
The falling from my two wheeler in front of some teen boys and not only tearing a muscle, but those jeers that followed. The drive with my dad to a store, and being hit by a truck, which lead to our

This appetizing plate made my bile juices secrete in abundance. However, when I went to bite into it, all the layers came falling down.
Obviously! The human mouth can open only up to two inches. How could I possibly ingest it without pulling it apart?
This multi-layer burger allowed me to ponder over life and the many comforts it gives. But, ultimately, man just needs the necessities that

A Suitor
Darci was pacing the garden in anxiety.
The fruit tree was bearing the crop every thirty minutes, thus making the tree lean over due to the heavy weight.
"What's happening?" she looked at it in bewilderment as she glared at its' branches and stared at the roots.
"Are you under a spell?" she asked while stroking the bark of the tree.
Just then, the earth trembled beneath her.
