In her mind’s eyes she was in a different place, at a different time. Someone called out her name and that brought her back to reality. She looked at the […]

#MondayMusings: Lessons from experience

Just watching the sky from the terrace When I woke up in the morning last Saturday, I was happy. Weekends means time away from work and yeah beginning from the Monday of the week, I just wait for the weekends to come. Sometimes I do have plans for the weekend, but most times I don’t. Since I was sick the previous weekend, I’d decided that […]

It was the semi-final match in the women’s singles category of the intra office Table Tennis tournament. Not a big deal. It was the 5th set in a game of 5 […]

Your loss, not mine

Your loss, not mine

Source Years of friendship was forgotten in a matter of a few moments and the reason for it was nothing but a misunderstanding. I was ignored and I was dropped from the group without even getting a chance to explain my side of the story.

By the lakeside

Copyright: The Reclining Gentleman I remember that day from two years ago when it had started. It was my routine to sit down on the bench by the lakeside after a tiring day at work. I had no friends in this city. That was when he came and my life changed. Before I could confess my love for him, he told me that he was […]

The power of a smile!

The power of a smile!

A funny thing happened on my way to the passport office. A lady kept smiling at me for a long time. I didn’t know what to do and I smiled back at her. She kept smiling. But I couldn’t recognize her. As I entered the passport office, she was also there with me in the long queue. She kept smiling at me and I kept […]
