    In Search of Unseen

    If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose? I have a preference for war movies and writings amongst others. It was not always so, because for a brief period of time down the childhood I believed no one ever dies, not in life and it should…

  • Villains are Interesting

    Villains are Interesting

    Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why? Heroes and villains, one of the most popular existences in stories. In the real world these are but abstract terms.

  • Not Yours to Give

    Not Yours to Give

    The life we live is supported by our beliefs. These beliefs we carry paint a picture of understanding the world in our own vision and we live and breathe in it. Even though we aren’t a being of divine or almighty nature, yet we are the creators of our own world. Everything is fine as…

    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

Mrs Chauhan was in her late eighties. A fever…

  • How you end up having

  • Adding Words

    If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says? That thing that people say to each other, when they have spent some good years together, something about knowing what the other is thinking without any actual words spoken. This is something we form with many other living beings as well and…

    The Son Returns

    The apartment was silent. It was 5 in the morning, but a light was lit, not it wasn’t a night light. It was the light above the washbasin. Aditi closed the tap as she was done brushing her teeth. Dried her hands with the hand towel. Aditi got up early every day for her morning…

  • The difference

    The difference

    Mr Chahal, in his early seventies, lived his life with a lot of optimism. His life alone had taught him a lot more than what he thought remained for him. His wife remained smiling in a photograph on the wall and their only son lived abroad and was mostly too busy to call or respond…

    Waiting Words

    What’s a book you never finished but still think about? I admit, despite being in the field of books, in writing and editing.
