Everything comes in Waves

This world is an ocean. Deep. Complicated. And ever- changing. Everything comes and goes. With the rhythm of waves. Sometimes violently. Crashing down on us. That we hardly notice. But we feel it. For whenever we try to hold on. To a person. A place. An emotion. It’s slipping through our hands. Just like water. … More Everything comes in Waves

Lost Dreams

Wendy loved to read. She remembered the moment she fell in love with words after Enid Blyton’s. That was her very first book. It got her hooked to fiction, big time. There was so much that Wendy wanted to read. As a kid, Wendy kept asking her parents for more and more books even after … More Lost Dreams

Escapism

The devil speaks into our head reminding us we are little and insignificant we don’t matter. These voices are our drug we can’t get enough but it has to stop. Soon enough, we seek for our own happy pills what ever, just to forget who can stop us anyway? Hopefully we realise, this is merely … More Escapism

Short- lived ecstasy

Because it does not guarantee success? But what if to you, the only source of fulfilment in life is your dream that many deem will … More Success

Prison

The girl looked up. All she could see was the dim lights, and the blank ceiling. As she settled in with the soft snoring of those around her, she felt her mind wander.  The countless sleepless nights had already taken a toll on her. She couldn’t function at work and she was constantly tired. Yet … More Prison

Hollow

People,  are sometimes as hollow as straws. One thing I can never understand,  is how they come up with conversations in such perfunctory manners. It is as if one’s outer appearances or small actions are really that interesting. Or even worth hours of talk. When people talk about more thought inducing, intriguing things such as … More Hollow
