Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,

How are you dealing with 2020, so far?

Working all night, sleeping all day,

Missing those idiots who make me laugh,

Spending the days that never return,

I feel so dumb right now

6 words are not enough

To explain this madness!

Chores, Rationing, Fear!

My daughter, Family, Frustration!

I do hope that you make

Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly

(with a mask)

Karmic Forces (1) - Conversations

This is the first part in a 6 part fictional story series. Everything in this story is purely imaginary with inspirations from real life. Any resemblances to any person or occasion in real life is completely coincidental. 1. Conversations Tired out by the activities of the day, Miraa changed into her loose yellow t shirt and black pants, turned on the AC, curled up in her bed, comforter carelessly strewn over her feet, nose hooked inside a book, eyes and mind engrossed in its contents. She was a 20 year old college goer, with small, brown eyes, a rather flat nose, a set of imperfect, yellowish, crooked teeth and with wavy, shoulder-length, black hair now tied in a characteristic bun, with a milky complexion. As she continued reading, a chill went down her spine. The chill had nothing to do with the atmosphere provided by the air conditioner nor with the gripping story of the book. A feeling of being watched, almost that of being quietly examined, suddenly made her feel vulne...

That Special Someone

Someone who respects you, treats you right, unconditionally loves you, who sees the beauty in your cracks, heals you, nurtures you, bears with your mistakes, forgives you, takes time-outs when the stress is too much but doesn't break the bond, who encourages you to be your best self, is your biggest motivator & cheerleader, celebrates your baby steps, has your back when you stumble and fall, never uses your insecurities against you, never puts you down or beats you up never shames you for being yourself who never forces you to do anything who respects your privacy gives you the time and space you need, expects nothing but to see you thrive in doing what you love, is always there to give you love and understanding no matter how your day went or how your life is, who has boundaries which you respect, stops you before you burn yourself out, acts like a sounding board ...
