The Empty Tin Box
By Amitav Misra in General Literary | পড়ার জন্য : 842 | পছন্দ: 0
She stared at the empty tin box. She had half a mind to pry it open again. But she knew what she would find. And hope alone doesn’t fill a stomach, leave alone three. She looked out of the kitchen.

Dance of Life
By Utkarsha Arvind in Poetry | পড়ার জন্য : 840 | পছন্দ: 0
Screaming in the silence of the night, this thumping, throbbing heart of mine. Seeks a calm that it cannot get, tries to shout but words fail it. So, I take my blanket, close my eyes              And try to become one with the abyss that right now presides.   বেশি পড়ুন...
