Whenever he was under stress, he bites his nails. But I haven’t noticed him doing that while dropping him. He might have packed everything necessary and seemed comfortable. He just looked outside, desirous and was doing nothing but stared at the buildings as if he was seeing them for the first time. I drove swiftly to drop
Someone rightly said, “It takes eight minutes to know that we don’t have the sun”. I am living that eight minute. I don’t want to outbrave that my father is no more. It’s been four years now, since he passed away but still I feel his presence in my life. Though a usual father, he let me live
I was stupid. Once I tried to measure the depth of the sea with my footsteps. After 20 feet, I died and couldn’t measure it at all. She was exactly like the sea and her depth of love was unfathomable. She irons the dress for me. To make it stiff, she sprinkles water before ironing. One day,
The two windows overlooked each other though made out of different woods and styles. One designed in a modern day French style and other old fashioned. Those two, windows played a pivotal role in disloyalty. There were no phone calls and text messaging was lavishness for us. All we could do was stealing smiles when our mothers were

Our friendship deepened as years passed on but love for him was just an act of a definitive plan. One
A lick disturbed my siesta and it was a puppy. He had dried tongue and was keeping on gesturing for food. I could have easily given him the leftovers, but I prefered a loaf, which I saved for the rest of the day. I was a total stranger to him yet he waggled. Later on, when he was
It was her birthday and all I could afford was a kiss. I was broke but overflown with love for her. But, she understands little. She cried for new clothes and chocolates for her friends. She made cards for herself and waited for me whole night. I went home, empty handed. She looked at me- wept –
The sea was calm. No one was at the shore yet it never complained. In a fully furnished apartment next to her, a man, in despair, was sitting on a sofa trying to knot a coir. It seemed a difficult task for him, though an easy knot. His hands trembled and missed every chances for a perfect
Life is always a Checkmate! A struggle between sacrificing a pawn and let other’s WIN. I too had a chessboard, and my move was a novice. I tried the queen first, the most powerful, and believing, lest she had her own moves.It was my mistake that I trusted her prowess, instead, she checkmated me. She might have
