On the swing of life
By Nivedita Nakhare in True Story | Reads: 745 | Likes: 0
It's been years since I sat on a swing, in a children’s park, with no fear of falling down while I travelled to and fro so recklessly that I would imagine myself riding on the wind’s horses with their reins placed firmly in my hands. The slaps of wind on my face, as I moved back and for  Read More...

Ashima decided on a whim, as the Shatabdi started slowing down before entering Dehradun that during her stay at Mussoorie, she was not going to bond with Ruskin. Maybe with James, but not with Ruskin. Whims these days, have become quite the norm for her. Vivian, her Manager at the Tamarind Reef Res  Read More...

You could have left my hand, Not all at once...

I kept running,  Just a little ahead of you. You held my hand all the while, I knew, That you were there, That you would be there. But suddenly I couldn't feel your hand. It didn't hold mine, anymore. You were gone. Maybe, you had walked away, Or maybe, I had come too far. But, weren't you ev  Read More...

I wish to be a  water, So that I would quench your thirst. I wish to be a piano, So that I would play notes for you. I wish to be a moon, So that I would see you. I wish to be a cloud, So that I would follow you. I wish to be a cool breeze, So that I would touch you. I wish to be a rain drople  Read More...

Is there such a thing?  About running from many namely beings?  Who once claimed to be,  In possession of everything. - Troubled if I'll expose Their true nature existing.  I chanced it to flee, Far away to the living.  - I ran fast as I could, Being chased by three. Fear, D  Read More...

There was me happy,  Being with my soul.  I had everything,  When I was alone.  Then life pushed me , To walk a road,  But I was glad,  I had to walk alone.  Few steps forward,  And I was proud of me.  But who never told me,  There were nights as w  Read More...

SOME DAYS There'd be days like these her momma said,Not the ones she'd like,Not the ones she'd choose,Days that are dark and turn into tales.
