Saabya smiled back remembering this face, remembering the innocent little Saabya that lived deep within her. She wondered when had she grown up…

To be honest, my school life seems to be a blur. I can’t seem to remember the details of a lot of things. I don’t remember what we wore on annual day or who topped which subject or who sat beside me in class 8B. But I do remember how I felt. I remember the…

Unrequited: A Life in Paranthesis
Pridha hadn’t expected the yearning to be this intense — or this painful — even after all these years. That feelings could be so all-consuming and yet survive in the daily hum of life.

Satya ki Khoj (Search for Truth)
Walking aimlessly on the long road, with no particular destination in mind, Satya, abruptly came to a stop. The view was breathtaking.

The Armchair Traveller
There’s a quiet kind of travel that doesn’t begin with a boarding pass. It starts with a book. A line in a film. A photograph pinned on someone else’s wall. You find yourself staring at a cobbled street in Prague or the curve of a balcony in Greece, and for a moment—only a moment—you are…

Litany of Loss: Part I
Loss…. what does loss mean to me, wasted opportunities and missed chances. I have had a few brushes with this loss. Before delving into those experiences, i want to focus on one loss that is more of anticipation than an actual loss. Generally, i feel, words are the weakest medium of expression. But where words…
