 "Where's the dance club", she asked one of the seniors, standing in the corridors of the college. He told her "Room no. 13 to the left ". She thought he's kidding. She confirmed yet again....."Rrrroom no.....13?". He affirmed. Shreya was a bit of superstitious. 13 is an unlucky number, so to say. She was somewhat scared too. "Are they pulling my leg? Ragging me or something?....but dance is my dream and destination. I have to join this club in order to get recognised", she thought. Shreya walked down the corridors. She turned left and there was the room....no.13. She was at the door and hesitantly peeped in. There were few students sitting in the audience seats. Some were standing in the wings of the stage, making some electrical connections for mic and speakers. One corner was occupied by girls, giggling, watching some video and her eyes fell on a handsome young man, with a guitar in his hands.  He was stringing ...Everything I do..I do...

  "Nothing is perfect, Life's messy, Relationships are complex, Outcomes are uncertain, People are irrational!" ~ Hugh Mackay. We have a 'Good Relationship'...hmmm now that's a tricky thing to say these days. How would you define Good in a relationship? You are helpful, your conversations are without fights, you are understanding???....Well! Yes...could be. Good relationships aren't built in a day, just like Rome! It takes a lot of effort, mutually (mutual...that is most important ). You have to sometimes take a step back, sometimes trust even if you have doubts, you have to keep faith in the person and the relationship. Knowing your perfections and imperfections, and still being by your side, is what a good companion can do! So, does that mean you've to sacrifice always? No, not really...you've every right to question... But then believe in the answers too! Communication, appreciation and comprehension are the pillars to escalate the strength of a...

  And he took over her, from the blind side..... Rekha was a cheerful and homely girl. She always wanted to be happy and content, even in small things, in small achievements. She worked hard to help her family to sustain in difficult economic conditions. She also helped old people or needy ones around, with whatever she could. She was always on her toes! Rekha met Randeep during a sight visit, related to her work. Randeep was a charmer, often, he used to beguile people around him. Randeep had all the qualities of a family man. Randeep made Rekha to fall for him, by his polite behaviour, his sweet talks, his mannerisms. Randeep proposed to her and also got the consent from her family, and they both decided to get married. Rekha was happy, she had started weaving her dreams, of becoming a good wife. She had always imagined of getting married, having a happy family, a small house of their own. They both got married, in a simple yet elegant celebration. Rekha had made a fixed deposit o...

It was love at first sight! Yes! It was! Our eyes met, at the exhibition centre, that day. It was a big day for me. I was about to graduate and it was my final exhibition, which was to be graded by our professors and some well known artists in the town. He was there with his friends, to see the exhibition. The graduation exhibitions usually need invites, one of my classmates, was his friend. And hence, he was invited. He didn't look keen to go through all the exhibits. His eyes were just wandering around. He stood in front of my painting, he stared at it. I was standing next to my painting, he turned and our eyes met. He paused, looked deep into my eyes. The way he was looking at the paintings and the way he looked at me, was entirely different....like chalk and cheese. His eyes were engaging, as if expatiating a tale.....maybe a love story! I diverted my glance from him to my painting. And started to introduce my masterpiece. "These hues depict the spring, the blossoms.......
