The abandoned one #FFFAW #FlashFiction
He stood alone, hunched, miserable, the outcast- unlike the other handsome trees which grew tall, their branches spread all over, giving shade to a weary traveller. He was one of them but the cursed child- he stopped growing after 2 years and remained the barren, stunted one- he wasn’t even fit to be called a… Continue reading The abandoned one #FFFAW #FlashFiction
The thing I love about me the most #ThankfulThursdays
I believe in self love, in fact I have come to strongly realise how important it is to be in love with oneself, tell oneself that you are fabulous, awesome, beautiful and the best. Sounds narcissist? On the contrary, a strong sense of belief in self works as the best antidote in a increasingly self… Continue reading The thing I love about me the most #ThankfulThursdays

Travel Diaries- Solo Trip to Brienz #WriteBravely #WriteProBlogger
It was my first weekend in Switzerland and the weather was fantastic. A bright sunny day is what the forecast told me. I bought a 4 day Swiss Travel pass which entitles me to travel anywhere in Switzerland (by train, tram, boat) for 4 days.

Stigma #WriteBravely #WriteProBlogger #ShortStory
Sophia woke up with a start- sleeping in the day was never enough to make up for a good night’s sleep. Plus she did not have the luxury of sleeping for 6-8 hours like her colleagues who worked in the call center at night and slept in the day.
