It was a secret chamber wherein, the dirty secrets were shoved off. Bhaiyya’s syringes, mom’s cigarette butts and Escitalopram tablet wrappers, dad’s photos with different aunties and used liquor bottles. The dustbin swallowed everything and he was very scared of it.
He had heard a rumour that the dustbin once swallowed his baby sister too.

She looked at the sea intently and asked him pointing at the horizon, “what happens when you reach there?”
“You find new horizons lying ahead”. He replied.

I touch the wall of the dilapidated building and the paint begins to peel off. The names of the best friends aren’t there anymore. I try to relive the days spent here. Running in the corridors as a kid, sitting on the parapet and gossiping with friends, looking at the boards sometimes with a blank...

He spotted her in the airport food court after ages, sharing a meal with her family. Her appearance had changed completely. From waist long, jet black to beautiful burgundy shoulder length hair. From traditional salwar kameezes to fitted jeans and top. Only the smile was the same.

The identical twins fell in love with the same girl but she preferred to marry the younger of the twins.
The elder one got upset and asked her, “we both brothers look same and our likes and dislikes are also similar. Why did you then choose my brother over me?”.
She smiled and said, “true, but I...
