THE GREAT INDIAN KITCHEN

It isn’t a review of the Malayalam movie, “The Great Indian Kitchen”. It’s a reminder of the bizarre standards the Indian society has imposed on women.

QUEEN OF CARDS: POEM

I wish I were the bling of perfection,Not a broken spade, hiding in the shades,Waging war with incompetent cards. I wish I could send hope,To me and the deck of cards.But all I ever do is scribble in my heart.

It usually takes me two or three days to overcome the lonely feeling. When IContinueContinue reading “How sharing helps yourself?”

How I Met Three Abandoned Puppies?

It was around 10 pm at night and I was getting ready to fall asleep. It was raining heavily outside with thunders shrieking frequently. Just when I was about to enter into my dizzy world of dreams, I heard something whining. I tried to listen closely. “It’s a puppy”, I sensed.” Hold on. More thanContinueContinue reading “How I Met Three Abandoned Puppies?”

DIY SIMPLE ‘N’ TRENDY BOOKSHELF
