My Frozen Beauty By Bindu Unnikrishnan | Short Story

I kicked off my boots, my wet socks clinging to my frozen feet. The fireplace was dark and cold. Frantically, I searched for matches to ignite a fire but found none. Shivering, I paced the room, avoiding the sight of what lay before me: a transport coffin. Inside, the frozen body of my beloved wife, Mukta, lay at rest. Her still, stone-like face revealed no expressions, just as it always had. I could never read her mind or decipher the emotions behind that stoic exterior. Even when her eyes welled with tears, I was often left bewildered by her true feelings. Yet, my love for her was boundless. Perhaps I failed to express it in the way she needed to hear. We both struggled to convey our deepest fears and desires. Despite this, I cared for her deeply and longed to protect her. She was born to soar, constantly seeking new hobbies and rugged terrains, each exploration a quest for extraordinary feelings. I could never understand her wild spirit. At times, she would scream, and I could only ...

She is Always There by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

Even in the cold windy nights, when you feel all alone When nothing seems to be right and you just wanna hold tight. A voice comes asking for you; A voice you wanna hear When you're all in fear and she calls you; dear, Indeed heaven falls there! No matter how far you go, No matter the people all around, the one person you would run back to, even in the midst of all storm; Yes! that's your mom! Fading away the darkness, a soft touch leading towards the brightness. She might not always be fun, but truly she loves you more than anyone. A million more you would find but not anyone so kind. When nothing seems to be at place, an inner strength arise just by looking at her face. A thousand more to say, but it'd take an entire day. God has provided more than one could ask for, she is the one who would love you to the core. If you ever think anyone would care, remember; MOM is always there! Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer o...

Mother by Helan Jose | A Poem

Fractured bones, trembling lips, Her heart stood still—just for a glimpse. Eyes cried out, a silent wail, Breath unraveled, fragile! Within her, a breathing wonder Crossed the threshold, life tore apart. Sleepless nights, love unbound, Selflessness mirrored all around. Cracked nipples, bloodred pain, Yet in her arms, the world moves. Helan Jose holds a UG and PG degree in English Literature. Pursuing B.Ed from Pondicherry University, she nurtures a passion for literature and teaching. With a keen interest in literary studies,she aspires to inspire young minds through education.

Teacher on Wheels by Bindu Unnikrishnan | Short Story

The universe and its vast expanse has millions of stars. Some stars are so bright that they provide light to millions of planets, never knowing who benefits from its warmth. They only know to burn at its place while the planets just go around and bask in its glory and warmth. Raghunath Mishra's story graced the headlines of numerous local newspapers, not merely as a testament to his skill as a teacher but as a tribute to a man who transcended the ordinary boundaries of his profession. He dared to dream on a scale so grand that even the universe, with all its stars, could not match the brilliance of his generous and radiant spirit. Raghunath Mishra saw the state of affairs in the slums of Rajkot, where children were more familiar with hunger than hope. They roamed the narrow, dusty lanes with empty stomachs and vacant eyes, their futures seemingly etched in the same dirt that clung to their bare feet. For years, while teaching at Gandhi Public School, Raghunath had watched these chi...

The Facets of Modern Durga | Bindu Unnikrishnan

Durga—the embodiment of a complete woman! A nurturer, healer, lover, dreamer, protector, and a force to reckon with. She has a hand that rocks the cradle and a fist that wields the sword with unwavering stability. Her tender voice can heal a soul, yet it is fierce enough to tear it apart. In the early dawn, as the world slowly wakes, she stands at the kitchen counter, waiting for the pressure cooker to whistle, chopping an onion into a million pieces for the perfect omelet for her spouse while flipping a dosa on the tawa for her father-in-law. The aroma fills the air as she skillfully packs lunch bags, each carefully prepared to meet the needs of her family. Her day begins not with thoughts of herself but with the well-being of others. Just as she reaches for her cup of coffee, her baby’s cough pulls her in a different direction. Instantly, she discards her favorite beverage, rushing to soothe her child with a gentle touch. She is a healer—instinctive, nurturing, and selfless. The brea...

Weeping Willow by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

With the outer attire; comes the inner soul. It's the appearance of mine Which makes people think of me in their days of gloom. The dead shady leaves hanging down, Carrying the weight of people judging around. A moment then comes! Portraying the divine purity of nature, A strike of reaching cloud 9! Taking me apart from the worldly chaos; A cold breeze flows taking away all my sorrows. Fluttering my dead leaves; a beautiful hope it fills. Here comes another moment! Leaving nothing to lament Striking the garden clock 11:11 I realised The awakening was straight from heaven Wiping away my sorrows, Saying goodbye to my days of gloom A ray of delight began to bloom. People still think I'm weeping Little do they know Happiness is what I'm keeping. Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer of human thoughts and emotions. Her poetic style is as unique as every existing star in the Universe. She believes embracing every existing and ...

Romanticism: and introspection of renaissance

  William Wordsworth We frequently categorise English literary periods with alternative titles in order to comprehend and correspond them with distinctive characterizations since they tend to reflect predefined conceptualisations and interpretations displayed by the magnificent authors of the time. They proffered their own vantage points in response to contemporary instances of the period, and at times they made it accessible for the readers to wander in an alternate dimension in a bid to escape reality. Romanticism was an intellectual movement in England that began in the late 18th century and lasted until the mid-19th century, focusing on literary, lyrical, and musical art forms. Its sheer awesomeness continues to be experienced till today. Romanticism a revolt or revival There are  different versions on the historical roots of romanticism. A school of thought holds that it was a revolt against the preceding Augustan age, dissenting rationale, pragmatic approach, dising...

समत्व और अस्तित्व | A Poem by Ruchika Chauhan

कहते हैं  विभिन्नता में एकता तो भारत का आधार है, पर क्यों फिर भी भेदभाव का प्रचार है ? धर्म,जाति,रूतबे के आधार है ये भेद , पर बताइए ज़रा कौन कहता है ये सब वेद ? सबको मिले समान अधिकार व समाज में हो समत्व, क्योंकि तभी होंगे सब प्रसन्न व नहीं खोएगा किसी का अस्तित्व।  समाज की भेदभाव जैसी बुराई को हटाना है, देश को सुखी, विकसित व समृद्ध बनाना है । यदि न होगा समाज में किसी प्रकार का भेदभाव, निश्चय ही उन्नत होगा भारत ,लोगों में होगा परस्पर सद्भाव । तो आओ लें ये प्रण- समाज में स्थापित करें संपूर्ण समत्व,  मुक्त बनाएँ भारत को भेदभाव से ताकि न खो पाए किसी का अस्तित्व । About the Author  Ruchika Chauhan belongs to Shimla.

The Dark Night: A Short Story Dedicated To The Victims of the Worst Communal Riots in Delhi by Suresh Nair

There is a fascinating thing about living in Delhi that most residents do not value:  It is a colorful exposure to all the cultures of India. The colors of India can be seen like a beautiful rainbow in Delhi.  The beauty of this rainbow is unique, as there are more than six colors. My parents came from Kerala way back in 1965. I was born here and have lived my entire life in Delhi.  From an early age, you assimilate the vibrancy of the diversity of different people in Delhi.  I was 10 years old. I was studying in a well-known public school in south Delhi. Life was a bed of roses. It was all fun and games. Studies were a duty, an obligation to fulfil. For me, life was like a typical 10-year-old in a metro city. Manjeet was my classmate. He was an easy-going, happy-go-lucky, and fun-loving kid. and an exceptional athlete.  He played all the sports that were available in the school. He was a scholar with an exceptional grasp of mathematics. I still remember the inc...
