#AtoZChallenge : A reflection

Reema D'souza — Thu, 03 May 2018 04:30:19 +0000

First things first. Yay! I completed the A to Z Challenge! I have taken up the challenge twice before and completed it. So this was the third time – a hart-rick! I’d decided last year around this time that I’d take up this challenge this year too. I’d also told myself that I’d plan ahead so that I’d have nothing to worry about during the […]

The heat of the summer was taking its toll on me as I sat in a corner of the room sweating profusely while sifting through boxes full of things. It had been a while since I had looked at all these things – some I’d even forgotten that I had. These were the things that I’d accumulated over the years – things I’d needed then […]

#AtoZChallenge : Yestreen

The bright, fiery morning sun is much harsher than the calm, gentle moon that brightened the sky yestreen for it sheds light on reality , on truth that is hard to believe let alone live. Last night, I stood gazing at the skies like I used to do when I was a little girl. The sky had always mesmerized me for it was always beautiful. […]

The early morning sun shines bright giving a lovely sparkle to the raindrops that glisten on the leaves and flowers. It looks like a beautiful day and having nothing better to do, I decide to go for a walk. The fresh morning air lifts my spirits and I have a smile on my face without any particular reason. I walk down the xyst – the […]

I sit down on the couch while trying to catch my breath. The never ending errands have taken their toll on me and all I want to do is sleep. I know that I’ll fall asleep the moment I hit the bed but there’s work to be completed. The house still looked like a mess and I couldn’t let myself fall asleep leaving it this […]

#AtoZChallenge : Vellichor

It had been a few months in the new city, but she wasn’t comfortable. It still felt new, it was still unfamiliar. Though she’d always craved for the independence staying away from home provided, she missed the warmth of her home. Staying away from home hadn’t been all the good things that she had thought it would be. She felt lost in the city for […]

#AtoZChallenge : Ughten

Reema D'souza — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 01:30:55 +0000

The darkness of the night doesn’t let me sleep. The light of the day makes me weep. I toss and turn on my bed yet again. This has become my routine for some time now for sleep eludes me. I know life can never be always easy, but I also thought that it wouldn’t be always difficult. Reality seems harsh to deal with, but all […]

#AtoZChallenge : Tacenda

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 […]

#AtoZChallenge : Schwellenangst

Reema D'souza — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 04:41:27 +0000

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 […]

#AtoZChallenge : Retrovailles

Reema D'souza — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 01:30:05 +0000

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. […]
