Being Agile?

I like reading other bloggers' posts because they inspire me. I often think, how did they come up with that, or how have they thought to write it in this way. It's not envy or jealousy, it's admiration for the bloggers and writers, and hope that I will be able to write something which will …

Short trips to the supermarket

Earlier during the week, my flat mate and I decided to cook dinner. The weather was great for a day in winter. It was sunny; foggy in the morning but the fog disappeared as the sun came up brighter and shinier. We were at the University during the day, removing our stuff from our lockers (next …

The Suzhou Center

I had had enough of eating pasta, burgers, panini and other types fast food every day for one semester. That's why I think eating Chinese food today made me appreciate the different flavours and textures. Despite the fact that my exams ended on Wednesday, I still was not in the mood for holidays. My mind …

Crying for love

Tears came to the rim of my lower eyelid Threatening to overflow the eye socket And they did Glistening on my cheeks Over the cheekbones The cheeks heating up The nose filling with mucus Making their way to the quivering chin And then onto the hands on my lap I was too weak to wipe …

Torn

via Daily Prompt She was torn. Susheela told her to stay quiet and be the people-pleaser that she has always been but Charlie told her to be more assertive and stand up for herself. Nikita had been seeing a counsellor for a few months now, and she felt more conflicting now than ever. She still …

Review time

We are nearing the end of December and as such, it's time for a little review of some of my posts. Many times there are posts which I think I have written quite well but they don't receive much traffic and then there are others which are not exceptionally well-written but people read them and …
