A bumpy ride it is #FictionMondays
Her eyes were fixated on the 2 pages, neatly written lines on a crisp white sheet, they looked perfect. And then came the blobs of ink, smeared. This was sure to make creases appear on most people’ s foreheads. There goes the perfect page- sigh. But she looked at it intently and started thinking of… Continue reading A bumpy ride it is #FictionMondays

The smile on her face was different this time. It came straight from her heart , a smile of someone in love. Her eyes shone, her cheeks glowed and everything around her that otherwise felt mundane had taken a new form today.

Wake up Riya! #FictionMondays
The shrill sound of the alarm clock, every morning at 5.30. Oh how she hated it! 5 minutes more Baba , she pleaded every day.

To be not afraid of our own vulnerability – and being… Continue reading Being vulnerable #FictionMondays

She could feel it again, the gnawing pain had now become a constant companion. It crept stealthily when she least expected it, made her mind its home and took over every inch of her being.
