Yesterday, I asked my friend for some advice. And though he said some wise words, all I could feel was -“Damn.

What if I asked her out? Mistake vs Regret
So, there is this cute girl in my Cure.Fit dance class. I see her every day and think that maybe I should ask her out.

A box full of memories!
Returning hometown, especially to an Indian home, has its own advantages – you get stuffed to the neck with delicious, homecooked food; bed feels warmer with your old blanket, and sleep is peaceful after the ‘champi’ (head-massage) by your mom; the nature smells divine as the pollution is nowhere to find; and friends that areContinue reading “A box full of memories!”

Perfect colors and imperfect hues!
Steam rising from a colourful teacup. A colourful teacup lightly perched on the delicate glass table. The glass table holding the dreamy hand of a girl with light bangs and deep eyes. Her deep eyes holding the secret to her beautiful smile. As she waited in anticipation for her interview results to come out, sheContinue reading “Perfect colors and imperfect hues!”
