I have been feeling the blues, life seemed unfair… Continue reading Looking at the brighter side of life, being thankful and looking for joy in little things.

An ounce of faith #TellTaleThursday
I walk into the shopping mall, hiding my face carefully in the shawl. I look around frantically- at that man sharing an ice cream cone with his toddler, the grandma immersed in her book at Crosswords, the lovey dovey couple posing for a selfie and the man leering at me. Shouldn’t I boil with anger… Continue reading An ounce of faith #TellTaleThursday
Ripple Effect #FridayFictioneers
The house was always noisy- a big family lived here. While it looked perfect from the outside, it was quite a contrasting situation within the 4 walls. Daily tiffs which blew up into major fights. Thats’ when Grand Dada decided he had to bring in change. He started a new ritual. Every member of the… Continue reading Ripple Effect #FridayFictioneers
Not merely a dream #TellTaleThursday

Only If #FFFAW #FlashFiction
I look up- pristine white mountains, conifer trees with snow adorning the leaves, the playground looks quite a different sight with a snowy layer. How I loved winters- the chilly days, hot cups of cocoa, going up the mountains and skiing with Jeeya. Jeeya and I- our world was complete. My daughter, friend, guide, agony… Continue reading Only If #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Small Great Things-here is why as a dusky woman, I could relate to this book so much.
I have always been a die hard fan of Jodi Picoult. I started off with “My Sister’s Keeper” and I knew I had found an author whose books I can truly treasure. They are not the fairytale, romantic books, but talk of death, disease, court cases, despair, grief but at the same time, there is… Continue reading Small Great Things-here is why as a dusky woman, I could relate to this book so much.

“I think I killed a man” I repeated to myself, my hand were icy cold. Life can turn topsy turvy in a matter of seconds, I realised how true this is today.
