The spoils of a conquest
A pure white hair-band lying on the floor. In front of the drawn curtains.
The roller chair, abandoned between the room.
Flowers knocked over from the glass vase. The vase, amazingly, unbroken.

The Namesake, and what it stirs up..

The Oval Maidan- looking across from the sides..
Walking across the Oval Maidan, the wind tugs my hair out from behind my ears and lightly plonks it on my face, the pleasant woodsy smell of its wafts up to me.

Finishing.. but getting finished too..
“So why did you do it??” she asked him.“I know, I know. It was the wrong thing. I just realized it too late.”
