To begin with, I think I could be handed over "The Late Blogger" Award by Blogchatter. I was one of the last few bloggers to jump into the A to Z Challenge 2019 and I think I am again late for this Reflection Post. Nonetheless, I would love to share my experience. I am a pretty consistent but … Continue reading Reflection Post

Yesterday
Like an old habit that dies hard Yesterday hangs on. Standing in the doorway It tugs at my heartstrings. Spins a pale green yarn to keep me snug when winter sets in. Dissolves like saccharin in a cup of sugarless tea, and tempts me with its simplicity. Pulls out half a poem written in spring … Continue reading Yesterday
Walk a While, Just Another Mile
I refused to plug my ears or play a vintage number. It was going to be my inaugural walk on an unfamiliar road. The decision had been taken off the cuff. There were no Google Maps to guide me.

We all have that one special thing at home which our parents are fiercely protective of. These are usually very old, almost antique and that is probably their USP.

The old Godrej beauty with a capacity of two-hundred something litre, shining in pristine … Continue reading The Refrigerator’s Tale
