#FridayFotoFiction : Unrequited

January 30, 2017 Natasha Comments 0 Comment

#FRIDAYfotofiction #week 10 UNREQUITED The mist rolling tea gardens always transported Arpita to another world. A world, where there were no worries, just gaiety, playful abandon, enveloped in the love of Ma-Baba, Aboni Kaka and Junmoi Didi who managed the sprawling estate home with perfection. The gardens were a family heirloom, nurtured over decades. Ma-Baba were no more. She had moved overseas with her Dutch husband and had just returned to sell the glorious property. Arpita bid a tearful adieu…

This time my parents were being extra wary, and not treading into this territory after being part of my last debacle. They had left it to me to make my choices. I had met a bunch of blokes the second time on, all by myself. But none fitted the bill. I was a single mother to a…

#Fridayfotofiction: #week 9 freedom The unabated snow wasn’t making it any easier. We had migrated to a warmer climate. Here the woods were dark and dense. A thicket of flora covered the forest. The sun barely pierced it’s way through. But it felt safer and cosier. We thought we were sorted for this winter. Little did we know that the devious ones were on the prowl. Before we knew it we were captured and taken straight to the pets market. The…

January 18, 2017 Natasha Comments 0 Comment

#ALLABOUTME #BLOGCHALLENGE #10DAYYOUCHALLENGE 2 SONGS Another of the tough task to list just two favourite songs, but then a challenge is a challenge so here I go. Will do justice to both English and Hindi music. Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill. This was one of the earlier songs dedicated to me by the DH, when we were dating. It’s such a heart-rending song. My heart still skips a beat when I hear it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IATz8ZVTALo) Iktaara from Wake up…

January 5, 2017 Natasha Comments 2 Comments

#Allaboutme #blogchallenge 9 loves My Human and Dog Families and Friends Sunshine on my shoulder on a toasty winter morning.

Sepia Tinted Winters?

December 15, 2016 Natasha Comments 1 Comment

I abhorred winters. The idea of cold, dark, dreary, foggy days made me wince. My Bengali genes couldn’t handle the cold North Indian winters, despite having spent most of my life in this belt, along with a small stint at New Castle Upon Tyne where it snowed heavily. The onset of winters inundated a sense of melancholy. I couldn’t but wait for it to end and for the Spring and Summer to arrive. Winters for me translated into layers of…
