Confessions of a Fairy

She flipped the notebook pages
Which lay untouched since ages.

Dear mum I'm now in my new home
New skills I am starting to hone.

How I used to throw tantrums when hurt!
To taunts and wounds, I've become inert.

I don't get my cup of coffee in bed
I've become an early riser instead.

I miss your head massage with oil of jasmine
Now I just pop in a pill of aspirin.

I didn't binge on Armani,
I've started saving money.

Read till late night for perfect scores,
Now I juggle with household chores.

Your dainty fairy has grown and flown
And is building a nest of her own.

Book Review - Mystery in Love Island

Book Title : Mystery in Love Island Author : Miss Anoucheka Gangabissoon, a Mauritian writer. The  book cover immediately draws you in with its mystical colours. It shows a wolf facing a little girl on a full moon starry night, already giving you a gist of the protagonists in the story. The story starts with the introduction of the female main character Aphra, which is a very unique name. We meet her in the school premises which instantly transports us to the nostalgic Lanes of our own school days. Next Aphra goes to visit her cousin in Love Island and that's where the rollercoaster of thrills and adventures begins.  The moment the werewolf makes its appearance, the page turning adventure begins and you can't put down the  book till you get to know who is behind it all. The   Story is evenly paced without over description of side characters or side stories. You get enough backstory of each character to move forward with the story.  The narration is crisp and to the point.  Th

Ever wondered that people can be compared to rocks? Yes we have them in all sizes and colours! Some people are like the big rocks with a strong base, those are the ones you can lean on when you are at your weakest. They will still stand tall and support you no matter the circumstances. You can shed the weight of your griefs and tears on them. While others are like boulders which are placed to block a pathway. These are the people who won't let you go further and emancipate, they will stay put right there with their orthodox beliefs and no matter what you do they won't melt. They won’t budge an inch from their position and rather drag you down with their toxic magnet. They are the permanent obstacle for both your personality development and success. There is  a handful who are like the rocks used to polish gems. They will criticise you but in a positive way so that you become a better you. They rub against you to bring out the best in you. You might feel some

  Gusty winds howled loudly outside while Sonia tossed and turned in bed, trying to weather the storm of emotions churning within her. Her mind drowned in a whirlpool of nostalgia, two years ago, on a similar stormy night, she was on the seventh sky after Ray had professed his love for her. Now the same sky rippled with thunder and lightning. She stood and gazed at her reflection in the mirror, “Maybe I am not as attractive as before,” she whispered, her warm breath condensing on the mirror surface, blurring her reflection.  She wiped it away, while being swept to another memory…tracing hearts on foggy car windows after a steamy love exchange under the monsoon. How she missed those idyllic trysts! *** “Sonia it seems you didn’t sleep a wink!”her friend Sarah quipped, “Don’t tell me you have been stalking Ray again.” “Life is not the same without him. I don’t show interest in doing anything now…we always did every together.” “Come on Sonia ,it’s been eight freaking months after your bre
