We cant wait for them to grow up, so that we have time for ourselves.

The cycle of life #SundayPhotoFiction
Adam roamed aimlessly on the streets of Venice- the beautiful city which held dear memories since decades. As a child, he clutched his Mumma’s hand as they walked on this very street- as his Mom bought some custard and pie and he had his weekly treat of popsicles. He then grew up and walked with… Continue reading The cycle of life #SundayPhotoFiction
SoulMates #FFFAW #FlashFiction
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
