There is silence among the hills. There is a lot of space for the thoughts to spread and enough space for most human sounds to fade away before reaching the ears not wanting to hear them. Clean air and water, a view which feels that it can be seen forever, in the evening the distant…

Mr Dhawan moved against the air with speed. The morning in its early stage is calmer and there seems to be more space in the otherwise busy world. Mr Dhawan moved fast, past the usual landmarks, over the familiar roads, eyes in front, and all the effort in the world to keep the mind positive.…

It was the beginning of night. The lights came to life; many lights moved along with the vehicles they were part of. Many minds eased as the day was coming to an end. The vapour from the earthen tea cup was carried away by a light stir in the air. Bhavin stood near the bend…

Mr Patel woke up in the morning at 5:30 like every day. He got ready for his morning walk. He had been more health conscious lately, cutting out fast food from life, even going for a long walk in the evening if possible. Even in office he had allowed himself more breaks. All those hours…

The rain had begun around 3 am in the morning. It was a good deal for someone who had office the next day and was aware of the rain, there were still a couple of hours of comfortable sleep. Gargi knew when the rain began, she had heard the first drops. No, she wasn’t coincidentally…

As the metro train came to a halt. People rushed out and people rushed in. Everyone who rushed in scattered and found a place for himself/herself to sit or stand. Those who were already inside made adjustments according to the additions and subtractions. However, there was a pair of eyes that refused to move. Sirak…

Everything in the room was covered in silence. The TV had turned itself off after no response for hours and the partial daylight that was visible a few hours ago had disappeared. Then the phone that had slipped out of the sleeping hands and was sitting on the edge of the sofa, finally fell on…

A lot happens out there in the world. Some out of imagination, some well within reality. When I was a younger and a more imaginative version of myself, I believed in a lot beyond existence. There was a little bit of magical touch in everything life had. I was particularly curious about night and its…

It was a rumour, but a naively interesting one. It was not something usual, or even if it was, it was unheard of in reality, maybe kept a secret. When thought about practically it made no sense, can someone come this far at a cost great to bear for an emotion that is still felt,…

There was a small restaurant nearby. It has been years since it closed. But there was a time when it was among the few restaurants in the area. The man who ran it, had this serious and angry air around him all the time. He took care of the payment and the take away food…

Aarok can make a decent cup of coffee. Something that he has worked upon over the years. That is one reason I like visiting him in his apartment apart from his interesting thoughtful company. He hasn’t married and I do not see any trace of any such intention. The apartment is not the most neat…

The car prices had risen again. Ashwin sighed at the news on his phone. He had been researching quite a while to find the right car and most importantly he had been planning his finances to make it possible. But this increase in price might delay things, but there was always the option of a…

There was a time when people worked hard all day long in their professions. As the end of the work timing came near, they began to look out at the life that made them feel whole, and they began to wonder what they would do that day. Perhaps meet a friend or get everyone’s favourite…
