A Lie
When you go out, do you feel the warmth of the sun dripping down your head, onto your shoulder, your torso, knees, and feet? Does the warmth envelope you after getting out of a cold room. Does it light your path to the park and stay lit while you play. Or does it, like me, burn your skin, creating bumps and red marks all over you.Instead of the warmth greeting me when I step out into the light, I feel pain. For me, that warmth is nonexistent, instead, I feel a burning sensation, one you feel when you cook an egg and the oil jumps onto your skin because the fire is too hot. Unlike you, I never ...

I'm so sorry love that I've done this to you. I wan...
Balancing Acts
Something was not right. Aditi was not feeling good. At one mommy of time while walking back to home from the market she thought of turning back. A tussle was going on her mind. One thought whispered in her mind that whatever has happened has happened and there is no need to bother about it. To counter it another thought immediately popped up reminding her this will be a sort of cheating on her part. Her home was not too far from the local fruit and vegetable market. Getting good quality was almost sure here. Especially on Tuesdays it was certain. There were all kind of shops here. Big shop me...
