Because you didn't...(Nature talking)
By Divya G Prasad in Poetry | Reads: 307 | Likes: 0
This is Nature talking. I have my own ways. Yours isn't enough. I smoked the pollution. I paved my roads as far as I can see. You were a burden. Because you didn't act responsibly, When you thought everything was yours, it was all actually mine. This is Nature talking. You voted to stay in this lan  Read More...

A Little Romance
By Anilkumar Kurup in Romance | Reads: 307 | Likes: 0
He felt, looking back, it was funny, fascinating and a little blushful to recollect the silliness that surrounded the infatuations of the golden teen and early youth. It would seem like a long due self-confession of a once juvenile delinquent if he now puts them into words. The prelate and the confe  Read More...

I haven't wished you a  happy mother's day today amma. And I don't think I will. It's not because I don't want to, I really do but I cant.  Not from the bottom of my heart.

Meeting you was destiny, everyone keeps telling me. Forty years later, I am still not sure how to react to that comment.  A perfect, lovely, 'I-wish-well-for-you' destiny wouldn't have left me to be a widow in the first place.  An 'I-care-for-you-so-much' love-line on my palm wouldn't ha  Read More...
