Demons, the real ones..

*The post before the last one*
Normally her demons arose in the night. They turned the normally flippant, brilliantly blunt and straight answering girl into a blubbering, confused and sobbing girl. The world knew her as a very arrogant and collected person. She bounced back from all her problems and issues didn’t she?She did, but [...]

alone

“Go,” he said. And sent her off. All alone to face her demons.

A quick unfinished story

Friends Forever. Turned into blossoming infatuation. Forever couple. Is it love? Maybe not yet..
Distance, misunderstandings, arguments, fights and lies. A couple broken before love could happen. Friends again. Happy for each other’s happiness.
He falls for someone again. She is happy with someone else again. They are happy in their own worlds. What could be, is [...]

Innnn-Out. Innnn-Out.

Breathe. Breathe harder. Slow. Innnn-Out. Innnnn-Out.
He had “quit” smoking. Except for yesterday when he had a couple. And a few days before that when he had a few at a party. But he had quit. Really.
It’s just the room you know. Too many people. Innnn-Out. Innnn-Out.

He was choking on his emotions. [...]

Alone..

She sets the table. Puts out the soup, toasts the bread, heats the mushrooms. Absentmindedly she picks up the red handled spoons from the holder and lays them next to the mismatched plates. The microwave pings and the oven buzzes. Both the mushrooms and the bread are done. She sets it out on the small [...]

The spoils of a conquest

Flowers knocked over from the glass vase. The vase, amazingly, unbroken.
The laptop lying on its side with its charging cord dangling from the side.
The book, the page you were reading preserved so preciously till now, on [...]

There was a girl

She had a strong voice, but it was pleasant and confident to the ears. Very masculine. Too heavy, but soft. Never sounds like what I think it sounds like.
A large frame, broad shoulders and an interesting, open face. God, I wish I was tiny, I tower over everyone. I wish I had even a [...]

Beginnings – Vikram

“Bhaiya, I want to study in U.S.A too”, Vicky bounced the table-tennis’s ball across the wall as his brother cleaned his closet out.“Yeah Vic, but not now. Complete your bachelors here. You can do your Master’s in U.S.A”“But why Bhaiya, I want to get out of this place. I hate the system here, the [...]

Beginning with Anuja

“Pratibhaji, she is brilliant. What can I tell you about her. I am so glad she continued in this school even though you took up St. Lawrence High”
Anuja had always been an intelligent child, after all she was the vice-principal’s daughter, but Pratibhaji wanted to see how Anuja would do if she was left to [...]

Disposable..

“She is flighty,” Vishal’s mother, Anuradha, said with a sniff.
“Amma, she has been my best friend since the last 12 years now. You know I have been in love with her since the beginning. You knew it all along. I know her well, She knows me well. She has finally agreed to marry me. Why [...]
