The Three Crowns

Three crowns to rule the universe… one made of 24K gold, another made of red copper and silver and the last made of plastic… one for each of the three different worlds… The first world is a brave new world… a world full of hope and fantasy… where people dare to dream and everything is [...]

The Circle of Life

It takes all kinds to make a school… All five fingers can never be the same. We tend to categorize them as the long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones. Other than that, we put people in a color chart, and title them black, white, yellow, and brown. All different races, colors, castes and [...]

Beauty and the Beast

For no reason at all, she is bleeding once again today. All that she misses is the feeling where she lives on after losing everything. He definitely is the most powerful enemy she has ever faced. No altitude of groundwork can prepare her for her imminent disaster. Sitting down on the floor, in the corner [...]

I just simply believe that fear quenches joy. It is the basis of hate, resentment, and fury. So whenever anyone of [...]

The Insect in My Sock

The Photographic memory of that insect remains in my mind even today. I don’t remember exactly when it happened, but I do remember how it happened. It was my childhood; my new moneybox had all my savings in it. I had only one key to that box as the spare key was lost some time [...]

A Conversation for a Peanut Pack

The second eldest of my four uncles has three kids; the youngest, Adeel is the most talkative one; I mean there is simply no stopping him when he starts muttering. One day, after quite sometime, he visited us along with his mother and sister. As always, the first thing he said as soon as my [...]

The Visit

My heart starts pounding louder and louder as I get closer and closer to my destination; a fateful meeting it will be, a meeting to decide how today will end and tomorrow will begin! I mean for me it has to be the most dreaded visit of them all, something I must do, and eventually [...]
