The railway station was almost forgotten—by the trains, by time, by the world.

Sunday Mornings & Green Tea
“How the hell can you spoil the taste of those heavenly biscuits with that warm lemon water?” she’d demand, hands on her hips, eyes gleaming with mock indignation. Sunday mornings used to be their ritual. The scent of freshly brewed green tea mingled with the warmth of oat cookies, and Dean Martin crooning softly on theContinue reading “Sunday Mornings & Green Tea”
A Fragrance of September
The café still smelt the same as always. Coffee beans, warm bread, and a faint trace of vanilla from the pastries in the display case.

It had been years, yet someContinue reading “A Fragrance of September”
A Song for Yesterday
The café had not changed. The wooden beams still held the scent of old coffee, and the walls bore the same soft golden glow that once made everything feel warm, intimate.

Jasmine
The cafe buzzed with its weekend vibe. The clink of cups against saucers and the soft hum of conversation filled the air.

A candle flickered between them, its small flame steady, casting warm light over the polished wood ofContinue reading “Jasmine”
Tere Bina Zindagi Se…
The sun was about to set as he sat down on his favourite arm-chair. His eyes were shut and his hands were comfortably placed on either side of the chair. The last rays of the sun were falling directly on his face giving it an unreal golden glaze. He was humming an old Kishore KumarContinue reading “Tere Bina Zindagi Se…”

Songs From a Room
They sat on the same sofa. But far apart. He was listening to his Dylan on his headphones. She was perched up on the other end of the sofa, her feet tucked underneath her with a stole wrapped around her. She had Emily Dickinson opened but she was hardly reading it. She was lost inContinue reading “Songs From a Room”
