While cleaning her old...

An expensive and beautiful floor runner was bought for the house.It was so soft, and durable, that everyone wished to step on it. Slowly it got dirty and discoloured due to rough usage and started to resemble a mere door mat.
When it was put for wash, voila! it looked like the runner had...

The pretty doll happily danced to the rhythm of the wind. The doll’s skirt, torso and head moved in perfect harmony. She was wind’s favourite muse and nature’s happiness.
Suddenly, she stopped dancing one day. The wind got restless resulting in disarray. Someone had wrongly positioned the doll causing a stir in the perfect balance.

“Let’s start afresh”. He said and smiled.
“Yes, but before that, let me go to the place where it all started”. She said.
“But why?”. He asked.

She was one of the best customers of the upscale salon who would generously tip the employees there.
Her regular indulgences were manicure and nail art.
The salon employees often debated whether their prized customer had ever worked, lest her beautiful hands get dirty.
How were they to know that she was a serial killer whose poison...

The little bit of memories that once occupied the heart were slowly fading away.
Have I reached there already? I guess so, because it doesn’t hurt anymore.
Probably some closures are like that.

Gradually the poor and homeless found space under the flyovers.
Even development took sides with the affluent and pushed the down trodden to remain underneath.

Tired of hiding, he pulled off his mask of pretence to reveal his true identity.
Though he was afraid that it could tarnish his image permanently,yet he took the risk to breathe freely.
Everyone was concerned as to what went wrong with him but none believed that he wasn’t pretending anymore.

He was a successful sound recordist who had a huge collection of sounds in his library. His favourite one was his own heartbeat.Very rhythmic. He felt alive listening to it.
