Hearing the sound of heavy machinery, I looked out of the window dreading the sight.
The raised platform surrounding the tree was obliterated. It was once a place for children to play, womenfolk to pray to the deity whom they had consecrated there and menfolk to relax in the evenings.

She went into his room tenth time since morning and it looked spotlessly clean. Every time she saw the clean room, she realised that he had left for boarding school.
Till a day earlier, the same room looked so messy to her that she would keep reminding her son to keep it clean. Once he was gone,...

The little boy saw his father and other people grieving beside his mother who lay motionless on the floor. He grew restless and started pestering his dad to get new batteries. Dad eventually lost his patience and shouted at his son.
With tears in eyes the little boy said, “dad once you explained to me how...

The workers were to congregate at their work place to demand for better working conditions, permanent houses to reside and pay increase.

Looking in the mirror, the drag queen admired her feminine avatar and her costume one last time before removing the make-up once her act was over on the stage.
The face beneath the make-up was handsome but it liked the part it played on the stage for that was what its true identity was.

The moment he said sorry, she heaved a sigh of relief. Not long ago she was stifled by his restrictions on her. Tears of joy trickled down her cheeks. She could now wear what she wanted, go where she wished and lead a life of her own.
She tasted freedom at last!

“Stop right there”! Aunty yelled.
The teenager had no inkling as to what went wrong. She had come to stay with her aunty barely a week ago to pursue her higher education in the new city.
And then it came like a slap on her face.
“Hasn’t your mother taught you not to enter kitchens or sacred places...

She missed her once upon a time dreamy eyes.
Those eyes believed in happily ever after and had innumerable dreams to achieve.
They were forever in search for the perfect face with charming looks and killer smile. Chivalrous ways, heart of gold and eyes so deep that touched the soul.
For them everything was either right or wrong,...
