Wish

“If god granted you three wishes, what would you wish for and why?” read the question in my 9th grade half yearly english paper. It was an essay which was meant to fetch me 25 marks in the paper, but it ended up changing my entire life, actually, ended up changing my dad’s life more than mine. I’ll explain how at the end of this post. Here is how the essay went – We all wish for something or the other at some point of time in life. As a kid we wish for a chocolate or a fancy toy. As we grow older, our demands increase and keep changing. As they say desires are endless, don’t they? Well I don’t know what you would wish for, but here are my … Read entire article »

Hidden

Dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, Mansi stood there with her arms folded. The breeze was blowing her hair in all directions and her eyes were staring at the sea searching for answers – answers now hidden in the depths of time. Time and again she would dig into her pockets and take out a piece of paper, hold it to her heart and cry. Every time she did, she would wipe them off upon hearing her two little kids talk among themselves. A few yards away, Raj looked at this woman with helpless eyes, while hiding behind a rock. “I wish I could, I really do.” He said to himself. “I wish I could hold you in my arms right now. I wish I could just kiss those … Read entire article »
