Golden Apple, Green Pear
Once upon a time, there was a Kingdom, somewhere, I’m not very clear about the specifics of the location, but then that wasn’t the important bit anyway. Let’s call this Kingdom, the Kingdom of good fortune and fruits. All kinds of beings lived happily here, if social media was anything to go by. But whenContinue reading “Golden Apple, Green Pear”

Girl’s Night Out – A Cinderella Story

It was 7 pm.Continue reading “Girl’s Night Out – A Cinderella Story”

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Colours, the little Prince was cursed by the Purple witch. The Purple witch kept to herself, and had a quick temper. Her crayons were her only friends and her paintings were her playground. But one day when the little Prince chanced upon her precious drawings, he thoughtContinue reading “The Curse of the Purple Witch – A short story”
The Trinket Seller
Anjali walked down the beach with her friends and family, and her four year old daughter clutching on to her hand. It was so beautiful, the wind in her hair and face, the soothing sound of the waves crashing over the rocks and the soft reggae music wafting from the shack nearby. She just lovedContinue reading “The Trinket Seller”
