Ladies of Aashram did small businesses like preparing & selling chutneys, papad, pickles, hand embroidered bedsheets & cushion covers, etc. She bought lot of things & her hand was full of plastic packets. She walked back slowly. She stopped as she found someone standi... more...

A Second Life.. (Part 2)
Tara isolated herself from the world. She didn’t speak to her parents or close friends. She stopped going to work. She didn’t pick up calls. She didn’t eat or sleep. Weeks passed since she spoke a word. Her best friend, Anjali, came to meet her every now and then, but Tara didn’t budge. She had become a statue. Everything in the house reminded her ... more...

A second life.. (Part 1)
Everything seemed perfect. Their new home. Their well settled life. And the candle light dinner Tara had arranged. She looked at the table fondly. I'm sure Aakash will love it.. it will be a sweet little surprise for him. But where is he? Then she smiled. Aakash had a habit of teasing her. He would say that he’ll be late and suddenly appear at the ... more...

Love hurts.. (Poem)
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, ... more...

Love at last.. (3rd and final part)
Yamini reached home during lunchtime. She sat at the table and stared at her plate. She felt a deep emptiness inside her as if she was drained of all excitement and enthusiasm. She realized it was because Varun was now far away from her. I am missing him so much already; what will happen later? She made it a point to talk to him daily. They also ex... more...

He fought with himself in the hope of realizing that his thought and vision are wrong. How can he love his childhood friend? Deep inside he felt ashamed of getting this thought.

Not a day passed when they didn’t talk, fight, tease, laugh or study together. if ever Yamini was in a mood to study, that is. They were so different from each other. He was a class topper & a natural sportsman while Yamini loved dance, music, drama & craft. Brig... more...

Dreamy Eyes
   Déjà vu was not new for Karan. He often dreamt of times that lay ahead. Or should I say his dreams came true. He didn’t know if they were messages from God for people around him or was it a blessing for him. But he often used the phrase; don’t dream too much, what if they come true. Nobody except people very close to him understood this.  As a k...  more...
