#FridayFotoFiction: #Week8 -“Barren”

January 13, 2017 Natasha Comments 2 Comments

#FridayFotoFiction: #Week8 BARREN A vacuous air of silence had enveloped Deerwood drive. The benches were lying barren. Not a bird in sight, let alone people. A disaster had befallen upon this lovely clearing. A bunch of cold hearted miscreants had ruthlessly massacred the visitors of this park-octogenarians, children, lovers, joggers, dogs and their walkers and many others. This ironically happened on a bright, sunny day. Now all that remained was a crestfallen, silent and deserted Autumn patch. No gleeful children,…

10 Day “You” Challenge: 5 Foods

January 11, 2017 Natasha Comments 0 Comment

#ALLABOUTME #BLOGCHALLENGE 5 FOODS I am a die-hard foodie. I guess it’s the Bengali genes. But then the Bihari DH loves food as much as I do. Food makes me happy, food perks me up on a gloomy day, food is elixir to my soul. On some days I think to myself if I was not such a foodie, I would be so slim and svelte. But then, I believe, life is meant to be savoured and enjoyed; and what better way…

Doggy Tales

January 9, 2017 Natasha Comments 3 Comments

Yes, these gorgeous four-legged furry creatures have been my highlight for the week that a brand new 2017 brought. Actually, a few months before the Year 2016 ended, a beautiful stray puppy was born in our condominium. She became the apple of most people’s eye. The kids always vied for her attention as much as she did for theirs, but the mother was fiercely protective and would chase everyone away. I strived to feed the puppy and mother every day,…

#FridayFotoFiction: Arrive

January 9, 2017 Natasha Comments 6 Comments

#FridayFotoFiction Arrive The Winter chills were yet to arrive, as Autumn had long extended it’s stay. Long walks with Layika, as the weather romanticised with all and sundry, formed an integral part of her morning ritual. Today the alarm didn’t go off. She had scrambled out of bed, quickly changed and rushed out with Lyaika on the leash, and in a jiffy left the keys hanging outside. As she walked out of her doorsteps inhaling the fragrant morning air, while Lyaika sniffed the dew drizzled grass, a…
