As you turn 8 my love #LetterstoAngel
I was in a quandary as I usually am these days when it comes to penning down my thoughts- Should I? Shouldn’t I?

Of bruises and choices #Musings
Last week as I was driving back home from the gym, around 10.30 in the morning on a weekday- at a busy junction where the signal never works and that remains unmanned despite the maddening rush- my car was brushed by an auto rickshaw.

“When I am your age, I will just relax. I wont work, will just sit at home and chill”. She gave a non committal smile and moved on, how she wished she could have shrugged.

A bumpy ride it is #FictionMondays
Her eyes were fixated on the 2 pages, neatly written lines on a crisp white sheet, they looked perfect. And then came the blobs of ink, smeared. This was sure to make creases appear on most people’ s foreheads. There goes the perfect page- sigh. But she looked at it intently and started thinking of… Continue reading A bumpy ride it is #FictionMondays

The smile on her face was different this time. It came straight from her heart , a smile of someone in love.
