Like the gentle sunshine that brings warmth on a cold winter day, you came into my life which was till then lonely. I was lonely because I preferred it that way for I was wary of what people would think of me. I felt out of place at social gatherings for I was afraid that others would laugh at me. My assumptions were wrong, I […]
The bright summer sun did nothing to lift up her spirit. Questioning life and its ways had become a part of her daily routine. She tried to not think about how unfair life had been. Love and trust were not a part of her life anymore. There was some love lost because of the ways of fate and some love was lost by choice. But […]
I distinctly remember the day when I first saw you. It was one of those busy days when nothing seemed to go right. Everything was a mess. It was a chaos. Life had decided to pull me down under the weight of it. I’d chosen to bury myself with work for that seemed like an easier burden to carry. But that day even work was […]
Doing what she wasn’t supposed to gave her a feeling of satisfaction. It was actually more than satisfaction – it was the sense of achievement, a strange feeling of pleasure that she derived that kept her going. The ways of the world were too straight for her to be followed. She loved doing things her way. She paid no heed to other’s advice. When someone […]
I wake up and another day begins- a day that I’d have surely lived earlier. Confused? Let me explain. I feel like I’m living life on an auto pilot mode sometimes. I wake up each morning to do something that I did the previous day. There is the same routine to be followed, the same set of things to be done. All this leaves me […]
The cold wind reminded me that it was winter yet again. The gloomy weather did nothing to help me overcome the pain, the grief that become a part of my life. I pulled my jacket even closer to protect myself from the cold. But nothing gave me the warmth that I needed to fight that cold that I was feeling within. I’d become numb to […]
Phew! The A to Z Challenge for this year is over! For those of us who took it up, April has been crazy. Crazy is an understatement, for it was crazy multiplied by 100 times! From choosing that theme to writing each of those posts, from changing the post titles a zillion times to not knowing what to write, from reading a lot of posts […]
Dear Diary, I am really happy today. I’ve finally completed the first draft of my book. Do you remember that when I was a little girl I told you that I wanted to be a writer. As I grew up, this dream was lost somewhere in the muddle of examinations, degrees and work. It took my a while to realize what I wanted to do. […]
I think life works in strange ways. Most importantly love works in stranger ways. Do you think some philosopher said that? Yes, you are right. That philosopher is none other than Alana, the great. Do you know how I came up with that line? No prizes for guessing. I think I’m love! No, wait I don’t think that I’m love. I know for sure that […]
“I still miss him, Alana” “Whom?”, I almost screamed. “My ex-boyfriend”, replied my friend. “But it has been over a year now. Haven’t you still gotten over him?” “Its hard.” “I know that it is hard. But didn’t you tell me that it was for the best that you were breaking up?” “I did. But no matter what I said, I still miss him” “But […]
