Her Gods

The woods waited for her, every day she passed the ancient sickly trunks, she felt the wind still with their bated breath.  She used to be terrified. She could visualize the stark branches bending down to strangulate her, and her body getting embedded in the gnarled shapes of the trunks. She would neither be dead … Continue reading Her Gods

I don’t want an epitaph

“I don’t want an epitaph on my grave.” “Why?” “All my life, I’ve felt misunderstood or not understood by family and friends. I prefer being unremembered rather than being mis-remembered.” “Do you feel your life has been wasted?” My coach instincts are sharpened.

His elder son is the richest man in the country today, splurging money on an enviable lifestyle. … Continue reading Happiness

“Five years have passed, but I don’t know why we split…..” said the wistful message from a number I’ve tried hard to forget. “I’m allergic to peanut butter, despite the nutritional value. Does that answer you?” “I’d like to know the cause of allergy.” “Persistence … I wish you’d let me go – without any … Continue reading Let me go
