The subject of love has haunted me since the day I became aware of the concept. I always knew I loved my parents and wanted to be around them at all time but I never knew I could love someone who wasn’t family to the extent I ran mad literary. Till this very moment, it chases me like sprinters on…
There once lived a man in a dense forest. Deep in the forest where no one could reach or hear him. No one knows who he was, and how ended up living there. He did not even remember his name. He never smiled or cried or talked. He strayed in the…
Trigger warning: sexual assault and gaslighting This is a difficult post for me to write. It is violent and emotional, but at the same time, I have told this story many times before. I am not afraid to tell it again. I have never been afraid to tell it. Why again? Why now? Because I see you, people who are…
Shiv: It was never about love I just wanted to spend some pleasant time with you and I m done now. I can’t fake all this anymore. I love someone else who is waiting for me in the car. Let me go. ( A girl was sitting in his car behind him ) Anya: What? Have you gone crazy? Do…

Bhai, kirdaar hu mai. Jab paida bhi na hua…
Ify couldn’t stop her lips from quivering along with her shivering legs. The well decorated stairs seemed like a death trap just like when she had walked directly into the snakes mouth on a rainy Friday night. She had wished her mum could be just like kenechi’s mum who at that time was a widow just like hers but had…
“so???” “So??” “Tell me..You called for a meeting and is anything important?” “Ya.. Important one..But…But..” “Are you all right?” “Yes.Am fine..” “Fine then..The reason behind our meeting?” Words trembled to come out of his mouth.Expecting some concern from her,he stayed unworded and both occupied the chairs opposite to each other in a cafe.. “This is my invitation,you should attend the…
