Over A Cup Of Coffee
“I never stood a chance. Did I?” She let out a laugh and paused for a second, watching his confused face.
Her opening statement or rather unanticipated question has thrown him off the balance suddenly. His face reflected exactly that and he could see she enjoyed this expression of his.
Since the moment he had entered the sobriety of the place has struck him like something he hadn’t expected. Devoid of all the Colors except a few tinges here and there, the place didn’t speak of loneliness but...

The Petals Of The Red Rose
“Take me home!”, He said angrily to the driver as he shut the door of the cab fiercely.
“Sir?”
And then he realised the place he had just walked out had been his home all this while. He felt the first pang of a strange emptiness.
“Sir?”
He mumbled some address to the driver and then closed his eyes. His head had already begun to throb. The fragrance of roses still afresh around him. No sooner the vision of his eyes had turned black, the mind played the recent flashback of the last night’s cel...

A Journey For The Words #BNLF
I just glanced at the calendar when I struggled to get out of bed today. No brownie points for guesses, yes, it’s Monday! And I realize it’s already been three weeks since I returned from the hills to resume the mundane routine. Oh, what a weekend it was. I think you must have lost me here, no clue as to what this girl is talking about. So here’s the story.
6th September’2017.
I stare at my laptop fighting with the sleep monster with my 4th cup of coffee and it’s only 2pm in the afternoon yet...

Faded Footprints
Dear ex of my lover
For this letter I find no cover
I wonder
If I should call you dear
You’re the reason
He’s not near
It was sometime back
When you crushed his heart
That now it doesn’t know
About its own priceless art
You’re to me
A faceless stranger
Your indifference
Fills me with anger
You’re that person to him
Hard lessons Who taught
In my summers
A shade of winter you brought
You make me feel
The pain without my fault
Because
He is hidden treasure
In a keyless vault
I...

The Old Journal
“Dressed only in a loose grey tank top and red hot-pants she slid into the bed next to him, tying her hair into her signature imperfect bun. The evident frown on his face objecting to even this piece of clothing…”
She closed the black thick bound diary letting out a sigh. The further course of events was something she knew by heart. The food delivery person had rung at the same time ruining their perfect moment, as he had said later. This had been ever since their most laughed at incident. Bu...

The Hidden Monster
“Oh, see how tall you are! You are definitely joining our Basketball team this year!”
The paints and brushes in his closet died a silent death.
“You take too many sick leaves. You can’t get the raise equal to the men in your team”
The PPTs of the night long hours let out a sigh.
“Oh, she is not so beautiful, she can’t be our daughter-in-law”,
Love in his heart jumped off the cliff.
“You should reduce a few kilos else who will marry you.”
The car in her garage skipped a heartbeat.
“You hav...

The Choice of Courage
“What! You quitting!? How?”
“Hell no! You can’t do this! This is a great risk”
“Why would you even think of doing that. You have a well settled career. You have so much potential, you can reach great heights.”
“But this is not the right time. Get married and then do whatever you want with your life.”
“How will you fund your expenses?”
“You want to give up everything that you did all these years just for this silly dream of yours which gives you no guarantee whatsoever.”
“You have gone c...

The Lost Scoop Of Happiness
“Get up! We are going to Naturals near by.. it’s just ten minutes walk away from here. Get up now!” She shouted as I stared at her face blankly not making sense of anything.
“Where are you? I’m calling out to you for the fifth time. Get up now!”, she said again, waving her hand in front of my face. I must have zoned out again. This has become perpetual to me now, and she is the only one who has been patiently dealing with me. I grab the shirt that’s lying on the chair next to my shabby bed an...

Defying Life
Morning light peeked through the dark curtains disturbing the darkness of the room. She blinked her eyes when the ray of light reflecting from the mirror touched her face. Her eyes were still hurting. She felt immovable as the invisible chains continued to tie to the bed. She hadn’t left the place since last six days now. Having no strength to get up, her room was now nothing less than a prison. She had begun to detest life.
She couldn’t help but think how drastically the life has changed sud...
