Image Source It all seemed surreal. I looked around but I couldn’t believe that this was really happening. I stood there thinking, holding tight the crumpled sheet of paper in my hand . ************* “I quit”, I said it out loud to no one in particular. I had put my life and soul and what I got in return was nothing. I know life isn’t […]
Image source I looked at her sleeping peacefully by my side gently pushing aside the strands of hair that covered her face. She was smiling in her sleep. And I smiled looking at her.

Photo by: Francesca Woodman With your rules you wish to kill my dreams, For you think that I don’t have the right to. You don’t know how in anguish my heart screams, For not being able to do what I want to. Try as much as you might, But my dreams you can’t kill. My dreams will definitely take flight, You can never defeat the […]
Picture Courtesy: Sulaiman Sait Lost I am in the crowd, Together with others I have always been. What lays beyond, is a mystery shroud, By darkness, for light I’ve not seen.

I wish could work towards fulfilling the dreams that really matter to me. […]

That twinkle in my eyes was no longer there. There was no light- only darkness- pitch darkness. That is what I saw. The fire within me to achieve my dreams […]
Image source “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations” The line from the novel I read explains the state of my mind too. I am confused about so many things in my life and sometimes I search for an escape. And so at leisure, I let my mind slip into a world of its own. I am always eager to be lost in […]
Image source The luggage was all packed and arranged neatly in front of her. As the time of her departure drew closer, she kept asking herself if she really wanted to go. The thought of leaving behind her family and the place that was her home since she was born was painful! But then it was her dream to get admitted in the famous university […]
They said, “You must do this, you must not do that, You must not be thin, you must not be fat. You are supposed to be this way, For your life is governed by what people say.” And I did what they said, Walked on paths that everyone tread. I have now become a clone, I’ve forgotten the dreams I once called my own. But […]
Ever since she was a child, she had a lot of dreams and plans for the future and she vowed to herself that she would make those dreams come true.
