Dhruv and Shweta gazed at the drawings on the cave wall- a stone man and what appeared like a square box or was it something else? Dhruv couldn’t remember. “Ah this one is the tennis court just outside our house where we will play a game every evening and I will beat you.” “Shwe you haven’t changed… Continue reading SoulMates #FFFAW #FlashFiction

A month away from home #GratitudePost
October has been an eventful month. It began with the preparations for my 2.5 month business trip to Zurich, as I was cramming my bag with almost every other thing. When you have the luxury of business class travel, extra baggage is least of your worries- a generous 64kg baggage is what I was permitted… Continue reading A month away from home #GratitudePost

The circle of Gratitude- September
I first read about this amazing blog hop Gratitude hosted by the effervescent Vidya Sury and was keen to participate. With the limited time I have for blogging amidst my tight office schedule and a toddler at home, I couldn’t join. But I always felt writing this post is going to be such a wonderful… Continue reading The circle of Gratitude- September
The Date #FFFAW #Flash Fiction
Ryan adjusted his tie once more, he was really excited today. A date after a very long time. His busy work schedule and family responsibilities meant very little time for himself. The setting was perfect, one of their favourite coffee shops where they sipped many a latte and devoured blueberry cheesecake, laughed, cried, created wonderful… Continue reading The Date #FFFAW #Flash Fiction
