He watched her knit with her trembling hands, sitting in front of the tv. When she watched the tv she stopped knitting. And then she would focus back on her knitting and forget the tv. This went on for a while. He arranged the table for a dinner for two he was specially planning forContinue reading “Anniversary Wishes”

Old Ties
“Honey I’m home” “Great. Will warm up dinner now” “Can’t wait to try the roast.” “Just hop on in and it’ll be on the table.” It had been over fifteen minutes since they’d spoken on the phone.

The Coffee Shop
He played along with a spoon, sitting alone by the corner table. Using the spoon as an imaginary drum stick he played along, listening to the Smokie song from his playlist.

Jim Reeves played on in the background. The winter breeze blew all along, reminding him of the time of the year. The time inexplicably made him blue. Christmas carols, fruit cakes and pies, turkey meals and candies…that inevitable bluesy feeling. This year, he felt a change was needed… He put on his parka and beanieContinue reading “LOST…”
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse. It was the second thing he had seen that day which reminded him of her. First, there were those gorgeous eclairs nonchalantly left on the dining table. And now this. It was odd that he found two things that reminded him of her in a spate of 24 hours. HeContinue reading “Virginia Woolf”
The Proposal
They were sitting on the rooftop of his flat, the view of the city traffic from five floors above was a fascinating one. They watched the cars move almost like in a silent film. The sound was minimal at that height. They sat with their feet dangling from the parapet, hands entwined, a glass ofContinue reading “The Proposal”
The Mixtape
He felt an inexplicable fury inside of him as he switched his phone off abruptly. His friend at the other side of the call might have found it strange, but at that point of time he didn’t care. He was too mad. He couldn’t believe she would be this way, after all these years. HeContinue reading “The Mixtape”
The Silk Stole
Susan woke up hearing a shriek from the next room. She turned around to see her husband fast asleep. She was amazed how he hadn’t heard the shriek. He was actually a light sleeper unlike her.
