Everyone who passed by their house wished it was theirs. A bougainvillea tree heavy with flowers formed a canopy at the entrance. Under the shade of which stood the welcoming entrance, with dark stone steps and a red tiled floor leading the path inside. Yes, it was a beautiful house. On the outside. A complete contrast to what went …

The Empty Glass #FridayFotoFiction
As he looked out of the open door his eyes fell on the empty glass. A lone straw sticking out of it, it sat there on the table. Forlorn. Just like him. He knew what it felt like to feel empty. He had lost a lucrative contract, the one his entrepreneurial venture had been banking heavily on. His …

Memories by the river #FridayFotoFiction
She stood still and gazed out at the placid waters of the river, her mood contemplative. Waiting by the river her thoughts took her back in time, and she began recollecting experiences she had gathered along the way. Some good, others not so good. Some really wonderful, some strange ones. Varied people from different strata had been her co-passengers on …

The Weeping Willow #FridayFotoFiction
The tree stood bang in the centre of the cemetery, and similar ones flanked it on all four sides. The fresh green of their lush leaves contrasting with the bright blue sky interspersed with fluffy white clouds made for a serene sight. Grave stones neatly lined either sides of the trees. This was no ordinary grave yard though. …

Looking down at the magnificent arena that had stood the test of time she couldn’t help but think how arenas existed everywhere, and also the minds of people. Some real and some hypothetical ones. Arenas were places to watch over reactions of …

This belief replaced the hopes of the future in the inhabitants of this small town and people slowly left, for greener pastures …

The Crossroad #FridayFotoFiction
Rajiv stood by his office window which showcased his favourite city. He looked down at the paper in his hand. The most awaited letter was here, confirming his acceptance to a top notch University. This had been his dream ever since he could remember. A foolish dream, his family and fellow villagers mocked as he was growing up. An …

The House on the Hill #FridayFotoFiction
‘It’s an abandoned temple. Spirits live there now.’ ‘Even birds don’t fly there.’ ‘It’s a bhoot bangla (house of ghosts) no one even goes near it!’ ‘It has been a cursed place! Don’t even look at it!’ The house on the hill had been the talk of the town forever. The small town was abuzz with tales about it. …

Girls Night Out #FridayFotoFiction
Nervous giggles interspersed with bouts of laughter punctured the calm and cool mountain air. The five of them made their way forward, tottering nervously on their high heels. ‘Which sadist would have thought of this cruel contraption called high heels?!’ one exclaimed, gingerly putting one step before the other. ‘Or this bloody hairspray!’ the other spat out ‘my head …
