An Early X’Mas

(contd. from here) An hour later, Dinesh, her husband sat at the dining table. ‘Why couldn’t you solve their fight and make them pasta?’ He helped himself to another helping of rice and dal. ‘Because I am not Wonder Woman or Super Woman or an incarnation of any God. I am a normal woman and … Continue reading An Early X’Mas →

Wonder Woman (No More)

After a long tiring day at work, Hina looked forward to a restful evening of a long warm bath and the company of a good book. Upon entering the house, she was greeted by a sight she hadn’t expected. Toys lay strewn all over the living room floor. There were scraps of paper lying around. ‘Mommy … Continue reading Wonder Woman (No More) →

Vengeance with a Smile

Rupa defiantly stared back at the slice of sinful indulgence - the dark gooey chocolate brownie. It had given her enough heartbreak over the last few months. Have it, not have it - it was always a battle between the heart and the mind. Rupa remembered how she had excitedly announced to her husband she … Continue reading Vengeance with a Smile →

Unconditional Love

Rohit’s temple pulsed faster than the blinking lights of an emergency vehicle. His being called for questioning was another attempt by the authorities to get to the bottom of what happened and catch the culprit. Unfortunately, all the evidence was stacked against him. He looked up and pleaded innocence. ‘I… I didn’t do it. I … Continue reading Unconditional Love →

A Stitch in Time

Silver Linings

(contd. from here) The darkness hung low outside the window and in her mind. The breeze slowly picked up speed and competed with the onslaught of thoughts running through her mind. She stood there a long time, watching as the clouds opened up and let free the arrows of water droplets. They crashed and thrashed … Continue reading Silver Linings →

It’s Raining, Men

The storm clouds darkened the sky. The accompanying thunder stayed in the distance. Jayati stood at the window – the floor-length glass pane offering her an unhindered view of the building across the garden that separated them. The day earlier had been darker than the sky overhead. Snippets of conversations from during the day plagued … Continue reading It’s Raining, Men →

Que Sera Sera

Avantika watched from afar. Her heart thudded like it would cause an explosion in her bode any time. She tried calming her nerves but it just didn’t help. How could it? He had just walked in. Avantika ran to the pantry, under the pretext of another cup of coffee. He’d surely go past the pantry … Continue reading Que Sera Sera →

Pride Goes Before A Fall

The rising sun threw streaks of orange and red across the sky. Arjun tried racing with the wind, desperate to reach the next tree before the leaves started rustling due to the breeze. He lost. He reduced the speed and tried his latest stunt again. Letting go of his hands while pedaling. He’d grown used … Continue reading Pride Goes Before A Fall →

Oops! I did it again.

The wreckage that he had caused while Ayesha had been away was substantial - monetarily and, for her, sentimentally. She sighed and got around to cleaning the mess. It was cushions and rugs all strewn around, a broken vase her best friend had gifted her on her twenty-fifth birthday, a handmade windchime she had left … Continue reading Oops! I did it again. →

Nod of Happiness

(contd. from here) ‘What? Why? Then what will you do with these mangoes if not sell them?’ 'Here, take one.' The man offered a mango to Rajat. 'There's only one condition. You have to eat it right here.' Rajat looked around them. A plume of dust arose as a bus rolled past them. With one hand … Continue reading Nod of Happiness →

The Mango Man

Rajat looked out the window and noticed the weary, sweaty public without the comforts of luxury and riches he was accustomed to. Were they happy? Did they not feel the pang of poverty? What was it they would buy if they had all the money in the world? Across the road, Rajat spotted an elderly man … Continue reading The Mango Man →

The Last Yes

She remembered a similar morning a long time ago. Or had it really been just a few years ago when she had stood at the exact same venue? Everything seemed to be the same today too. A morning filled with hope, cheer, excitement – moisture laden clouds dotting the sky, a cool breeze spreading a … Continue reading The Last Yes →

Kitchen Politics

Rhia stared at the lump of blackened mass in front of her. This was supposed to be dinner, she thought. With a sigh, she called up her husband, expecting the usual taunts again. Again, she’d have to admit to being a failure in the kitchen. Again, her mother-in-law would offer to teach her some dishes, … Continue reading Kitchen Politics →

Just Another Day

I don't know how to start this story. I just don't. I've made several different attempts but deleted them all each time.  May be because instead of giving you one story based on the alphabet J, I want to give you three! Just Another Day, under Readomania Shots (an online imprint for short stories, poetry and flash … Continue reading Just Another Day →

An I for an I

Rhia couldn’t believe the words being hurled at her. She recovered quickly enough and yelled back at her accuser. ‘You’re always only expecting me to handle everything. As if I am your personal maid, house-cleaner, cook, etc. Don’t I have feelings? What about me? What about what I like?’ ‘What about you, huh? What about … Continue reading An I for an I →

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Rhia looked at her long tresses, caressing them, playing with them – sometimes tying them in a top knot, sometimes, in a half pony, using her fingers to hold them up for a few seconds before letting them fall down again. She spent a full fifteen minutes preening in front of the mirror. It wasn’t … Continue reading Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow →

God Is Everywhere

God is everywhere, and he is watching you! The first time Rhia heard this she was seven. Her mother snatched the pencil she clutched between her fingers and put it back where it belonged - on the shelf of the gift shop they were at. 'Have some fear of God's wrath.' Her mother reprimanded her. With … Continue reading God Is Everywhere →

Exceptions Are Always There

If there was one thing that had been ingrained in Rhia all her life was that she had certain expectations to live upto. ‘Be quiet. Girls are supposed to be quiet.’ ‘Be more girly. Look at how you are standing!’ ‘Behave yourself. Don’t be so free to start dancing in the street. ‘Arey, if you behave … Continue reading Exceptions Are Always There →
