Putting things in order, running like a headless chicken days went by. It’s just a few weeks since Tim pulled up the stakes and moved to this small town of India. Clearly, he didn’t know anyone here from Adams. When his new po-faced neighbour Mr Dixit raved about the girl next door, his heart turnedContinue reading “gentleman”

red wine chocolate cake
One of my 2021 resolution was – write a flash fiction inspired from BJD (Those who haven’t read her yet shall be kept at bay with silent bafflement.) by Helen Fielding, in January 2021. After a few weeks procrastination finally I managed to pen it down. A sharp bend in the midst of the conversation.Continue reading “red wine chocolate cake”
vista
Incandescent peaks of halcyon hills seize your gaze in the evening when weary sun grazes those hilltops and sky simmers with crimson, vermilion, azure and milky white lights. Slowly a fiery red flush creeps over the valley and spills around the horizons sprinkling the sneaky woods with a soothing blush. Leisurely the dimming sky gathersContinue reading “vista”
chrimbo spaghetti
I cross my heart and hope to die, Baby, you’ve just got a pie in the sky As I stepped inside, it took my eyes a few seconds to adjust to the darkness of the room as the sun was quietly going down. My eyes fell upon the dim figure sitting on the floor withContinue reading “chrimbo spaghetti”
better choices
” Your happiness is incumbent upon you.” Michael Barked. In retrospect, I didn’t carry my responsibilities in a proper way. I remember, when Thubita’s brass and ill-bread daughter banged my 4-5-month old daughter’s head on the Chauki then she, with Phabbir and his mother, broke into a cackle, I did try to laugh. My daughterContinue reading “better choices”
a long-cherished dream
As guests were swarming up, the din was enough to plague a saint. Well, only a saint, because most of them were swaying their asses on DJ. But something seemed off. When they awaited the bride – Lydia, she fiddled while Rome was aflame. Neela raked her head for the probable cause. In case sheContinue reading “a long-cherished dream”
naked bananas!
Ruhela who lived in Bumthali, was staring at the neighbouring girl. She winked at Ganitha and whispered something in her ears and they convulsed with laughter. She picked up an orange and licked lustfully then peered at the girls’ breasts for some time and tried to study the direction where her gazed roamed. Ganditha lickedContinue reading “naked bananas!”
same words different people
At the year-end with many thought-provoking and humorous posts, I felt inspired to pen this oneliner. Thank you so much Alex Markowich for the story. When I stumbled upon this post I instantly burst into laughter. That’s because we (using for ‘only I‘. So what? Everyone stretches the truth once in a while!) used toContinue reading “same words different people”
relationships of convenience
“Does he venture to the craft of words, any art?” “They’re masters of another art. He has different stories for different places including home. It helps them honestly exploit and abuse all relationships to an extent, including spouse.” “Not being honest or loyal is nothing new. Did he tell her about cancer?” In the balmyContinue reading “relationships of convenience”
life lessons
Winters, during those days, didn’t use to strike bleakly and stodgy food didn’t scare the hell out of you. I was lost in my thoughts when, all of a sudden, a car stopped alongside in the proximity with Vedna, Bunny and their irrefutable team poking their heads out of the window and calling out ourContinue reading “life lessons”
