Luck or Double the luck?

Just when you think nothing can make you crack a smile, life gives you something silly to smile at. I had an absolutely shitty day! Waded through work load that was neck high, holding on to coffee for dear life. Then I hit the gym only to realise that I am too tired and that…

Staging A Comeback

It's been over a year since I wrote anything. Probably lost the few people who were reading my page. Wouldn't blame them since I did disappear. Getting back to writing has been on my mind lately. Hence, the attempt at reviving the thinking cells. The gears have been oiled and hopes are high that they…

He hated waiting at the bus stop. It was Christmas eve, something which he was being constantly reminded of by all the shops around him with their decorations of baubles and wreaths, some had even put up wishes for New year 2023.

It Runs In The Family

I have a craze for photography and apparently so did my grandfather. He passed away when I was 12. I have never seen my grandfather take a photo, neither have I seen him stand for one except when forced to take a photo. My father and uncle too did not know much about my grandfather's photography skills.…

Close Encounters

Do you believe in UFOs, aliens, unexplained lights, etc? Would you start believing if you saw what I did? I believe there is a huge possibility that other worlds like ours exist but I am skeptical about alien visits and such. Now the unexplained lights part is a whole other thing. I have witnessed unexplainable…

Notion of Freedom

Freedom is discussed among all but is that a notion that affects humans alone? What about the animals that we keep in cages or are kept captive at zoos so people can gawk at nature with all their safety intact? This issue has been on my mind lately. My parent's neighbors have bought love birds…
