The Reason For My Absence
I feel terrible about ignoring the blog. Yes, I call myself a writer. I have a quill tattooed on my wrist and hence, there’s just no excuse for not writing. As usual, Prolific Dyslexic made sure I was reminded of…
What She Needs, What She Wants
Radhika wasn’t a people’s person. Not until she met Anup, who was exactly what she had never been. He brought a fresh fragrance of people with him. He pulled Radhika out of her daily ritual of early dinner followed…
