There’s a thing about rainy afternoons when the sky full of dark clouds, with the cold gusts of wind that blow bringing back memories. The petrichor brings along with it a scent of the past that lingers. And with every drop of rain that falls, memories keep pouring often beginning as a light drizzle and then continue into a heavy downpour – just like the […]
The rays of the morning sun combined with the heat of summer didn’t let her sleep. It wasn’t like she’d slept well that night for there were things running in the back of her mind. She tossed and turned on her bed waiting for sleep or a sense of calm to come over. But neither came by and she only became restless. Not knowing what […]
I smiled looking at the picture on my phone. It was a picture of a picture for it was of a memory that I cherished. The picture was our last one together. I looked at our smiling faces and I couldn’t help but remember that day all over again. I had a smile on my face but also a lone tear streaked down my face. […]
I always found my solace in silence. Talking to people wasn’t my thing and I would shudder at the thought of talking to anyone. I spoke the bare minimum that was required to get by at work. Spending time alone was my usual thing. Books were the only company that I needed. Lunch breaks were reading time for me. It helped me spend my time […]
When I decided to move to the city, nothing prepared me for all the changes that were coming my way. Life had changed in ways I had never imagined. The big city with its many people never ceases to surprise me. Though it has been a while, I still gape in awe when I see the tall buildings that seem to reach for the sky. […]
The cool breeze blowing on an otherwise hot summer day, brought along with it some relief. The sound of our easy conversation drowned the noise of our surroundings. We kept walking for a while for we had no destination in mind. The friendliness and warmth that your words had put me at ease. No, I wasn’t supposed to be so comfortable. But it all seemed […]
The clock struck 7 and the Church bells rang too. I was kneeling down, with my arms folded in prayer. Though my knees hurt, I kept on praying for I knew you needed my prayers. I was led into another room. There was sorrow written on everyone’s face and it had been so for a few days now. Silence. And more silence. No one spoke […]
Looking back at the way life has been, If there’s a part that I could change, It would be without doubt, The part where you left. Sorrow fills my heart even to this day, Tears haven’t still dried away. Your pain though did cease, Left us with pain that will never ease. The time that I could spend with you was less, Some […]
She walked, slowly dragging herself bearing the burden of disappointment of yet another day at work. It had been the same routine for some time now and she went about it everything with no zeal or enthusiasm. The day began often with a sleepless night spent questioning the decisions she’d made. All her life couldn’t have been a mistake, but so it seemed. All […]
My usual Saturday routine of waking up late in the morning had been missed. I woke up irritated for I hadn’t slept well last night. I picked a few things that I needed and put them into my bag as I had to travel. It was just a matter of a couple of days. But I liked the peace and quiet that Saturdays had to […]
