I committed to you forever with all my concern and care were laid on you like a thick sweater Made sure you got everything you need as I sacrificed my dream to stay home for you and breed.   A slap for correction that's what you only saw But for me it was the smack  that brought me my sani  Read More...

A Shooting star
By Iram Fatima in Poetry | Reads: 527 | Likes: 0
I look up to the sky, I see millions and millions of stars scattered effortlessly upon the dark night sky. Just by looking at them, I can feel the warmth, comfort and love radiated by each star.  I wonder why do people make a wish to a falling star? Why do they expect good things from something  Read More...

Not a story but it's about faith
By vaishnavi in General Literary | Reads: 527 | Likes: 0
This world is ruled by cards. As simple as the ones I hold in my hand as I make this speech to the complex ones that let you into rooms or hold every single dime in your name. In a world so high tech and complex, we place our trust of the most valuable things in objects that have face value but not   Read More...

Sitting beside the window Lost in my own thoughts Kinda not in the mood to read  I closed my eyes  The raindrops pattered  And it all felt so beautiful Just then I saw a guy  Approaching towards me Holding an iced coffee in one hand  And a book in another He gave a smile and  Read More...

I wish that I could take that night back. I haven’t been able to sleep quite well since. That’s a lie. I’ve been sleeping a lot. I just haven’t been able to sleep peacefully. I’ve heard that if something troubles you a lot And you end up ignoring it while laying aw  Read More...

I was ever a warrior, so, one war more.   The best one and the last too.   The bugle of war which the humanity inside me was procrastinating since long has finally started blowing on my door.  I would hate that death which gives up my victory before this war is fought. Won't die sile  Read More...

Days with a coin
By Tanya Soni in Poetry | Reads: 524 | Likes: 0
Where did I go wrong? It's been 7 years since I first saw you. How jubilant and flamboyant you looked,  How timed I was to say the first word. But it seemed like we got connected from heaven, How instantly we grew a bond, How our time together flew away. How we came so close that a day without   Read More...

Love. The Second Time Over.
By Mrunalini Kulkarni in General Literary | Reads: 524 | Likes: 0
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...
