A Delicate Affaire -Part 3

I parked my car in the parking lot and looked at my watch. I was running late today! The face of my not-so-cool boss flashed in front of me and I ran a mini-marathon into my branch office. My entire team had arrived, and so had our customers. Our branch might have been the newly…

A Delicate Affaire- Part 2

The first thing I did after reaching home was get into a hot shower as soon as possible. As the drops of water touched my body, I felt relieved. The entire weight of the hectic day was as if lifted from my shoulders! But still, the lingering thought kept nagging from time to time. I…

A Delicate Affaire – Part 1

The traffic signal turned red and I came to a halt! Atop my Honda Activa, I bent over the handle and twisted my fingers a little trying  simultaneously to stretch my back that felt sore after a long day’s work. It almost felt like an eternity waiting there. Crazy how time behaves sometimes, isn’t it?…

Evenings

Aren’t evenings just sublime? They are subtle and kind of merge the day into the night smoothly. The sky seemed beautiful with a hint of purple and shades of grey and tangerine intertwined! I took out my running shoes and hit the road for a quick run. I put my earphones into my ears and…

Happy Wala Birthday !!!

Lights, Camera & Action!

Mridula unzipped her purse & took out her phone. A missed call alert! With a sigh, she typed a quick message & kept it inside. She knew it was important for her mom to know if she reached her location & on days when she was hard-pressed with time, she would quickly type a message…

Ishq, Mohabbat, Zunoon…

It was late in the night and I had fallen asleep on my part of the bed. A thud sound jolted me awake from my sleep. The smell and the very presence of him made my knees come closer to my bust and I held them tightly. I tried closing my eyes tighter as my chest pounded…

Santa is real!

“Malti! Malti!  Where is my tea and why is there Poha in breakfast? You know I do not like it. I need pancakes now. And yes, please take care that Yash takes his project work to school. I have an important board meeting and I just cannot look into the hassle.” “Madam Ji, just give…

My Fireplace

The sun was bright and I was ecstatic to have landed in a place where I had once dreamt to be !India ! But as soon as I reached the place, my dream turned into a nightmare within no time. My wallet was stolen in an unknown land and I knew nothing in this distant…
