A ‘Wet’ Picnic
The title “Wet Picnic” says it all!! It was one of the rainiest, wettest Meghalaya we ever saw since we moved here. My rakhi sister, who happens to be my college junior as well as office colleague for 15 years was visiting with her family. Her husband, a genius was also in my college, but […]
Eternal Sunshine
Eternal Sunshine Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind,How I miss those days we left behind,When everything was rosy and gold lined,The heart was buoyant with little joys well defined.
