Lipstick is my favourite accessory.
It brightens my lips and makes my face glow and light,
It brightens my mood and makes it shine and bright,
Keeps the secrets in my heart intact and seals my lips,
Enhances the colour of the eyes and hides the teary dips,
I once tried to replace my humble lipstick with love,
Ah! it didn’t work, for though, love betrayed me, yet my lipstick did not.

As the traveller sat on the cliff watching the sunset one last time,he felt utter helplessness to hold on to these lovely moments tightly. They were like grains of sand slipping away from his tight grip……. first slowly ……. then rapidly until he was left barehanded.

It knocked on her door one day and kept waiting till she welcomed it whole heartedly. It made her life beautiful and just like that, one day, it left her.
She was heart broken but she didn’t stop it. She believed that if it was hers, it would come back.
She is still waiting for ‘it’…her love

HER PLACE

She looked at the children playing at a distance. She drew a heart on the wet sand and added A+R on it. A sudden large wave erased it
She drew a heart again but changed the initials to P+R with trembling hands. The wave erased the design again.
She became bolder, drew a bigger heart and gave...

Amma had fancied a checked Kanjeevaram saree with double coloured border since long. She saved money from household expenses and purchased the saree after considerable effort. She happily wore it on her birthday and showed it to papa forgetting his abusive ways.
