Its Winter Again

-

Fluffy clothes now softly sway,
Fog descends, a silver gray.
The wind grows crisp, a chilly tune,
While the sun’s allure begins to bloom.

Heavy quilts on warm beds lie,
Shielding dreams beneath the sky.
A breath of frost fills lungs with chill,
The heart ignites, alive with thrill.

Upon my two-wheeler, I glide,
Cold air strikes, yet warmth resides.
The sun’s embrace, a gentle balm,
A fleeting moment, pure and calm.

Engrossed by my own thoughts, I started reading Mritunjay, facing all the other customers. A couple of pages flew past the eyes, as the chai reached my table. Songs dissolved in the air.

Trying to understand their signs was like trying to catch a moving metro. Even though I had learned the basics of ISL from Youtube, it was still hard to understand what they were conversing about. The body language and the expression were the only things tha...

"Just a second!" shouted Gulika, my little sister.  While we get ready let me give a little introduction about us. Gulika and I had annoyed a lot of shopkeepers, just to get our desired clothes and fittings. For me, a full sleeve, a black blouse with a golden lining, a beautiful matching lehenga, and a light-coloured dupatta. Gulika had chosen a blue backless blouse, with a light pink lehenga, printed with roses all around. With contrasting clothes, she had trouble choosing the right dupatta but ended up with a light-colored one with light blue patterns. We both wore matching sandal and stole the jewelry from Mother's closet, don't tell her, please.  Just as Mother was going to call for us once again, we rushed from the room to the h...
