Ria and Raina were squealing with delight as they looked out of the aeroplane window. They couldn’t wait for it to take off, it would be so wonderful flying in the sky and see the whole world through a window. It was the first time they were flying. Their destiny was about to change. They… Continue reading Destiny #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Goodbye #FFFAW #FlashFiction

I watch Jason from the window as he briskly walks down the steps. I look at the watch on my wrist- one of my most precious gifts which Jason had brought for me last Christmas from his bonus. Seconds pass by. I wish I could turn time back- to the day we went out to… Continue reading Goodbye #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Feels like home to me #FFFAW #FlashFiction

The Cove- as it was called was Annie’s safe haven. That one place she loved to visit in times of happiness and grief. She would sit hours watching the windmill, her eyes fixated on the spinning blades. She brought me here on our 4th date and I have been a regular since then. During good… Continue reading Feels like home to me #FFFAW #FlashFiction

One more time #FFFAW #FlashFiction

I waded into the water, one step at a time. It was so different this time. Every other time , doing this made me happy. I loved the cool water as it touched my skin and took me to a different world. As a kid I enjoyed splashing water on my sisters as we played.… Continue reading One more time #FFFAW #FlashFiction

The dolls who came to life #FFFAW

Mani looked at the figurines he had arranged last night for Golu- something was very odd. The cricket team he had proudly displayed to celebrate the cricket fervour stood at their usual spot, their hands raised in victory. He had added Lord Ganesha to the assemble last night, he was placed at a prominent position… Continue reading The dolls who came to life #FFFAW

More than soulmates #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Ryan and Reena were back after 10 years- they had decided to meet at the beach. The beach which has witnessed their friendship blossom over the years. The same beach where they had carved a crude heart on a rock and it had stood the rough weather over the years. Just like their friendship which… Continue reading More than soulmates #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Being grateful for my monotonous life #FFFAW #FlashFiction

After her morning walk, Ria sat on the lone bench, a bored look on her face. For the past 10 years this has been her ritual. A brisk walk in the park nearby and a 10 minute break on the forlorn bench before she got caught up in the grind of the day. A barren… Continue reading Being grateful for my monotonous life #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Be the rainbow in someone’s life #FFFAW

Little Janah had a forlorn look on her face today. What a contrast to the radiant smile that she wore yesterday. It has been a memorable day. She had seen a rainbow on her way to school- a full rainbow as it shone- all the 7 colours vividly shining , brightening up the sky and… Continue reading Be the rainbow in someone’s life #FFFAW

Trade off #FFFAW #FlashFiction

Sana looked at the pristine waters, breathing in the fresh air. She was in her dream city Lucerne – not for a few days on vacation this time but for 2 years on an International Assignment. Having spent her life in India, her trip to Switzerland had been a life changing experience. Not just the… Continue reading Trade off #FFFAW #FlashFiction

“The yogi looked at me in the rear view mirror and smiled. You both appear to be deeply in love”. “Oh yes” , the excited me chirped. “Its been 6 months now and it feels magical. I cant stay without him one minute, I wish I could be with him 24*7, every moment. Like now.… Continue reading Be careful what you wish for #FFFAW #FlashFiction
