All is well

Image
'All is well that ends well ' , said my favourite author Shakespeare.Finally yet another year comes to end, though on a very sad note. 2012 has been more or less like a roller coaster for each one of us – personally, professionally and now nationally. This has made us think about things we never thought before and look at things with a different perspective altogether. It left us a bit shaken, hurt, moved, and angry but more than anything else it left us with hope- hope that tomorrow will be a new day, a new beginning towards a better world for each one of us.

Turning the pages of life

Image
Source: Google Images Life is a book with very interesting chapters in it. Some are lengthy, some are short, some are difficult, and some are easy, some cheerful while some are painful. Many times we are at the end of one chapter, about to begin another with mixed emotions as we don’t want to leave the known and venture into the unknown. However painful it might have been there is a solace that it was there which holds us back from turning the page to a new chapter. That is when we need to remember that if we don’t turn the page now, we might never complete the book of life. There might be chapters better or worse than this, but the fact remains that this chapter is over. There is nothing more that you can do than just stand and stare at what had been or move on, turn the page and see what lies ahead.

The Assassin (Flash Fiction)

“ She is so beautiful… ” he thought as he saw her. “ Perfectly chiseled nose, rosy lips and flawless complexion……..No wonder she had so many guys falling for her. But she chose me, a man whom she loved , lived and wanted to live her dreams. All that she ever wanted was love and attention. And I was too busy giving her everything else except that… eventually suffocating her in a loveless marriage. She gave me her life with her heart and I slaughtered them both brutally…. Yes….I killed her!! “A tear rolled down his eye as her limp hand left his grasp.

Wishful thinking!

One of my favourite author Preeti Shenoy’s 4 th book The Secret Wishlist is about to release and just like last time she is giving creative prompts on her blog urging us to write on them.This took me down the memory lane when last year around the same time I had participated in this and made some wonderful blogger friends.  It was truly a magical experience how within few weeks how we all had become like a small family – sharing and caring. So here’s my attempt to that prompt wishing for more such magic to happen: Source: Google Images   "Beware what you set your heart upon. For it shall surely be yours ."- Ralph Waldo Emerson

All's fair in a game (Flash Fiction)

Kashish entered her drawing room and looked around with pride. Her house was very tastefully decorated. She grasped her latest Italian piece of art tightly as she strode towards the lounge where she wanted to display it. From the corner of her eye she noticed her son and husband sitting on the couch busy meddling with something. She smiled and placed her prized possession on the wall.  “ Move it to your right… little bit… ” She heard her husband say. “ Oh..it must not be aligned properly “ she thought as she moved it to her right.“ Arre… not that much. You spoiled it…. move it to your left now..” She moved it towards the left and stepped back to admire her choice. ” What have you done…..just remove it from there right now… ” she was shocked when she heard this but still decided to remove the picture. When she heard a big scream ” SHHHHHHHHUUUUUUCCCCKKKKSS ” which startled her so much that she dropped that art piece breaking it into pieces. She turned around seethin

I belong to you

Image
  I gush as I hear the hullabaloo around me. Today is my day- - - - -  the day when you will come...... to make me yours forever! My henna coloured hands - a lovely reminder of the new colours you are going to bring along As I get ready today my heart seems to sing a song I apply kohl to my dreamy eyes who cannot seem to have enough of the beautiful tomorrows Clinking bangles, tinkling anklets all seem to wait for you....with bated breath. You come with a flood of joy and love, holding me tightly not letting me sway. My heart skips a beat as our eyes meet and rest everything else dissolves around. As flowers and blessings are showered on us, you take my hand into yours. Slipping a band into my finger you tie me forever with you just to say; I belong to you

He let out a puff of smoke and continued his trail of thoughts. He had never imagined one mistake could do this. His mind went back to the awards night where he met her. He had gone to get one and came back with two - A literary award for his debut novel & AIDS. =====

Rationale (Flash Fiction)

Birju cursed his fate one more time as he saw the heap of plates that lay before him. “ Mother, you lied to me every time you said God is fair .” He thought as he began to empty the plates into the dustbin. By the time the restaurant would be closed the entire dustbin would be full with this remnants of food. He sighed and muttered to himself “ Here..these people have so much in abundance that they waste the food and my family there in village is fighting for having a square meal a day… what kind of fairness is this? ’ =============================
