It is not Love-PART (1/2)

It is not love. No, it is not, that I’m sure of. Now when I lie in the bed, beside my husband, I am reminded, yet again, that it is not love. I love my husband, not him. Things have always been like this; something happens urging a wave of memories to hit my shore;… Read More It is not Love-PART (1/2)

Will there be a Six?

I turned 5 yesterday. Instead of blowing candles, I blew dust off of my 2-year-old sister. She didn’t get hurt but got scared and started crying. I calmed her down, I shushed her, I caressed her back, her hairs, but all went in vain. She cried and cried and cried for hours. Pain of a… Read More Will there be a Six?

An Abandoned Special Kid

I was a special kid, I always believed. Even Ms. Braganza used to say- you’re my special child- often. But today, the way I see it, I don’t know if I really am special or special was just a euphemism. After I started becoming a part of social gatherings- by which I mean school- I… Read More An Abandoned Special Kid

Immortal Love

Out of thousands of days that you live, some days are special, days that are unforgettable, days that are cherished forever. When I woke up that day, I knew how different it was going to be. After all, it was our anniversary. And, like always, I and Jackson had our plans. Sunrays sneaked in through… Read More Immortal Love

Arrivederci!

What to say about this story? All I can say is it is the first of my works which had me in tears whilst its creation. ‘Things were going to be fine. Didn’t you say that?’ he said with the same old innocence and recent lucid grief in his eyes. ‘Isn’t it fine, Ron? Look… Read More Arrivederci!

Will he come back?-PART (1/2)

‘I heard you. I heard you, darling. Daddy is coming home next week.’ Maya said out aloud with her welled up eyes and trembling hands. Maya held her thirteen-year old daughter, Alisha, and hugged her, and both of them relished the moment; none of them said anything but just held each other. Maya’s husband was… Read More Will he come back?-PART (1/2)

A woman behind the veil

Mahira always used to wear a black, plain veil; even at her workplace. Nobody ever asked her to not to wear it. She was from Kashmir and had recently shifted to Chennai for her work. But she didn’t shift alone; her husband- what he seemed to, at least, people around- did too. Nobody ever saw… Read More A woman behind the veil

What makes me who I am?

Idle Muser

Idle Muser

When words from my mouth fall short, my hands come to their rescue- this happens too often. So, I would suggest to read the lines, in-between the lines, above the lines, below the lines of whatever I write, and voila! without even talking to me you'd get to know me. Not that I don't like to interact but I prefer to keep it to a minimum; unless books, writers, food, dogs, music, movies are being discussed, Aditi (Idle Muser) would be found either writing or thinking of what to write next or glued to a paperback/ e-book or, sometimes, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
