Amused #AtoZChallenge

“Nia come here sweetie! It’s time to go home now”, Arisha called out over the noise of other ten kids that were playing in the fete.
“Few more minutes please?” She shouted back from the see-saw but her voice almost drowned in the hulaboo of the other kids. Arisha had by now reached to pick Nia off the see-saw and take her home. It was almost time for dinner now and she had first day of her school tomorrow.
“Come Nia, the time is up! Come!” said Arisha, spreading her arms to let her cousin jum...

The Quiet Has A Name Now

I was walking back home, with white bandage on my left arm. I was thankful it wasn’t a fracture. A grimace reached my face as the irritating attention seeking music of the popcorn vendor pierced my eardrums. I had already taken a short-cut to avoid the noisy street. I walked faster now. I almost laughed at the futility of this injury. There are few injuries and scars you are proud of but then there are some which only remind you of your stupidity. This one definitely belonged to the latter ca...

Afraid

O my little heart,
Why don’t I hear you beating?
Wondering if You and I,
could set up a quick meeting.

Nay, Let me be hidden here,
Away from the sight of the world,

Broke me further in pieces so little.
Always ready for the world ahead,
It wasn’t so strong, just so brittle.

In the faint thumping of my heart,
Silent sobbing I often hear,
Visiting its scars of betrayal and deceit,
I feel the pai...

The Attempt

It was his first day in college. He stood at the front of the gate, his expressions a bit amused, a bit scared. He looked around the place and could not find even a single familiar face. Everyone else didn’t even acknowledged his presence, like he was totally invisible. Though this hurt him but also at the same time gave him the confidence to walk in through that gate, attempting to blend in the crowd. He entered the classroom that had been allotted to him according to his chosen discipline....

Dear 2017,

With only few hours remaining for 2018 to make home in our lives, you will now be just another year in our memories. Though I had planned to write a long letter to you about how you quite changed the course of my life but still partly laziness and party other priorities took over an this letter was shoved to the back of my mind.
