Good Evening Folks ❤️
Evening sun seeped in through the front window imparting a warm aura to my living room. And I sat at the one that opened to my garden, with a vase of flowers adorning the view. The branches of small trees, still leafless after the falls, kept swaying gently in the rhythm of the breeze. And,… Continue reading

A difficult last “ goodbye”
Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said. Saying goodbyes are the most difficult, and I am not a fan of it. Life doesn’t give many options as well, making goodbyes even more challenging than it already is. My last difficult goodbye happened 12 years ago, which I told my grandfather. I grew up in my… Continue reading

Daffodils ❤️
Thank God for another beautiful day. I opened the curtains to welcome the morning glory and sat down, grabbing my cup of tea. My husband has gone to work, leaving me to my own two capable hands.

My country is an emotion to me, the national anthem of which portrays the beauty and diversity of my sub-continent. Although there are many corrupted socio-economic… Continue reading

Happy Valentine’s Day My Love ❤️
Awake and Asleep, We lived every breath. In laughter and tears, We clung to each other. To embrace our differences. We fought, and reconciled, When life happened, We did fall apart. We were in it together, And we moved on. We backed each other, In good and bad. We travelled, had fun And made memories… Continue reading

Life and Death: Both happens..
How does death change your perspective? Death wasn’t a topic of my thoughts until the COVID-19 pandemic clutched the world in 2020. I guess it’s a subject we avoid on a normal day. I never thought much of it until one day the deadly virus took over our lives like nobody’s business, and continues to… Continue reading
