Towards the Wall of Pride!

In June this year I had posted about ‘Windows‘ opening the doors for me and a friend wished me, “A wall of pride there next to the windows.” How prophetic! The mail which I had been awaiting for since November came in today and I woke up to Google welcoming me to the Google For…

The Writer

Her day had just begun when he came to meet her with a flutter in his heart and stars in his eyes, a lanky teen of sixteen with nervous excitement. “First love!” She knew the moment she saw him. He came in and stood in an awkward silence. She beckoned him to take a seat in…

The Giving Life?

I bubble and boil and cause turmoil. Thickening hardening as I churn I cause pain, Oh! I burn. Bringing chaos, causing gloom… a sense of only doom. Yes I am this but also that; the one who alone for a fact, is the salve to soothe and calm. Protect, nurture, save from harm. You see…

Emerald City

Random Thought! #34

How I wish wants, feelings, dreams and desires were tangible objects… Would have kept them locked or thrown them away. Maybe broken into little pieces and crushed to powder. And mixed with soil to sow the seeds of happiness and grow trees of satisfaction on the debris of desires.

A Slice of My Past!

I got my house redone and painted in the month of March and most of the redundant things have been gotten rid of. But then, there are things which have nothing more than sentimental value and we tend to keep them for the simple reason that we cannot think of parting with them or throwing…

Peace, please!

One of Abhay’s cousins is an artist. She not only splashes colours around but also keeps spreading thoughts. To her a thought is a thought and art is art irrespective of the medium. Recently she started a kind of campaign on Instagram under the title ‘healingwiththedove’, a peace initiative. She shared a template bearing the…
