Putting it Back
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? When I was in college, first year, one day I was idling around roaming in the neighbourhood with one of my friends, Bhavya. Much younger than me, still in high school. We both had skipped our educational institutions that day. Well actually it was…

The Unavoidable Change
“Have you seen the clear sky?” “I see it every day, why?” “I mean have you actually seen it, observed its beauty, noticed its vastness, linked it to life and imagined the possibility?” Darika looked at her bedridden grandmother who was still looking outside the window.
