Melody of life
As I wandered by, he caught my eye, he sat there in serenity, immaculately dressed with a turban on his head, creating magic with his fingers, as I found myself stop by, and linger. He was tranquil, indulged in his melody, unstirred by his surrounding, as he played his own symphony. I stood there with […]
Silent words
“He loves you more than me”, I told my husband as I enviously watched our pup lick him all over his face as they both lay carelessly on the sofa watching TV and seemed to be having a ‘quality time’ while I was in the kitchen preparing dinner. To be honest, I was jealous! Our […]
What if?
As I slowly walked out of the doctor’s room after my appointment, still trying to digest what I had just heard, I sat down on a bench in one corner of the bustling corridor.

I couldn’t help but stare at him as he walked into the room. He was tall, handsome with shiny blonde hair, and with a carved jawline. He was dressed sharply in dark blue trousers and a crisp white shirt. He was well built. I could make that out easily from his arm and chest muscles […]

This craze for “achieving success” and “hitting my goals” had drained […]

Le Panier at Pike place market
Having recently moved to the Seattle area, I have transformed into a weekend explorer. Every weekend, I make it a point to try something new. Seattle being the birthplace of Starbucks is also the home to some of the finest coffee houses. There is something unique about the aura in Seattle that makes you crave […]
Gratitude
I gazed in awe through my window pane at the pink hue of the sky as I saw the snowflakes getting bigger in size. In the quiet of stillness, I could hear the wind howling with its emancipating glory. I gently pressed my forehead against the window, and breathed deeply on the glass forming mist over it […]
The most wonderful time of the year
As the aroma of the gingerbread latte and hot cocoa fills the air, and the smell of my favorite pumpkin spiced cinnamon latte slowly fades away, I know that Christmas is around the corner! I see people walk around wearing tall coats holding Starbucks holiday cups, happily sipping hot beverages to keep themselves warm and […]
