Valentine’s Day and a Love Crash Course by Bindu Unnikrishnan | A Humorous Nonfiction

Valentine’s Day and a Love Crash Course By Bindu Unnikrishnan In my forties (okay, not specifying whether early or late), I decided to celebrate Rose Day. Why should the ‘love of my life' miss out on a romantic gesture that every young couple seems to indulge in these days? Besides, with our 25th wedding anniversary coming up next year, a little groundwork for a grand gift wouldn’t hurt. After enduring a never-ending wedding season—mehendi, pre-bridal showers, sangeet, and enough ceremonies to make me question if marriage had become a festival—I wondered if Valentine’s Day, too, had joined this madness. Chocolate day, hug day, kiss day, rose day, propose day, teddy day, promise day …..leading to Valentine's day. There was this grand florist ( dismissed always as beyond my budget kind) 'Roses and Lilies', right next to my favorite bookstore. Though my heart truly belonged to the bookstore, the breathtaking floral displays always caught my eye. Still, I had convinced myse...

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!

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.
