A Delicate Affaire- Part 5 ( The Finale )

“Hello, have you left work? Listen, can I pick you up if you do not mind. I have something in mind and I just want you beside me tonight. Please do not deny it! I urge you.” Suryansh pleaded over the call. I was tired but listening to his voice was like therapy and I…

A Delicate Affaire- Part 4

There has been a burst of colors in my life. I had never known earlier that they could co-exist so seamlessly. I look at my mirror often now. I want to glide on my vibrant magenta lipstick on my lips, curl my hair, and adorn that new kurta set. There is a flight in my…

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…

The fear that accompanies a woman!

It was 2012 and now it is 2024. Twelve years apart what has changed? A lot, I guess… the rise of smartphones, the rise of information overload, the rise of influencer culture and so many other things to name a few. What has not changed? Well… it is simple the fear that accompanies a woman!…

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…

A day for the Eldest daughters!

To be honest, I was not aware of something called ‘The Eldest Daughter’s Day’ till recently. A few days back while browsing the internet, I discovered it and was a little surprised, to be honest. This is because I could relate to the similar attributes that the eldest daughter exhibits all around the world! It…
