Not this time, she thought. The C\’s and D\’s had not changed. Nor had the lonesome A+ but something in her had. For she made a conscious choice to focus on the latter, no matter what the world chose to highlight. Putting the marks card down, she hugged her son. Next day he woke up…

I made all right choices for my children, but…
Mukund was extremely distressed. He slumped on the easy chair in the verandah as Aravind continued to pack his clothes and his belongings. \” So you have made up your mind. But as a father it is my duty to warn you that you have made a wrong choice. If you listen to me I…
Book review: The case against sugar by Gary Taubes
I have always wondered why we consider sweet taste as superior to other tastes in general ( as I don\’t have a sweet tooth and have always had preference to sour/ salty/ spicy foods). This book not only answered that question for me but also gave me an idea about how we have come to…

The last puff..
I overcame your evil with my good, Narrowly escaping my grave, I shakily stood… You lured me in my teenage; For, I wanted to look “cool” in college.. I puffed you in every cranny and nook, Until like a furious chimney I began to look; My fetish turned into addiction full blown, Of self-destruction, the…
Ma, Everytime you forget me…
Malati woke up with a start. The cold winds were blowing through the window. As she went to shut them, warm rays of the setting sun gave the room an orange glow. Leaving the windows open she sat on the bed looking at the mesmerizing play of colours in the evening sky. Her reverie was…
