  • The Wrong kind of Connection

    Whether we admit it or not, somewhere within ourselves, the heart tries to find that meaningful connection with the right kind of answers.

    The evening Sun had started to visibly lose its brightness and people as they looked up at the sky, saw what was to come ahead, a restful end to the day or a very busy one. Mr Chabra was busy too, quietly pasting fliers of his business around. He looked around for any approaching police…

    Do you trust your instincts? Instinct is one of those things which we do not have to learn, it’s just there like the rest of our natural selves with which came into this world.
