Sunsets...

 Why are sunsets addictively satisfying????

 I regret to blink, as I see the reds alluring.

The shiny yellow reminding the perfume bottle of yours.

The cute orange as your favorite sweatshirt of-course

The crimson red as the roses you dropped at my door

The hard maroon as that of the Enfield you drove

The faded red blush as the cheeks you loved to kiss

Followed by the darkest red vanishing in a swish.

Why do I watch the sunsets? 

Is it my eyes that appreciate the beauty?

Or my heart that has been lately empty...?

I sit here watching the colors change,

I know we are no longer on the same page

But I’m still lost in the sunset that's long gone,

Just like your memories that I often ponder on…

The 2-kilometer walk has been my biggest concern ever since I shifted to my new home. Public transport is not available unless you reach the main road, which is fricking 2 kilometres away. Oh wait... it's not just one way. I need to walk this twice a day to get to college and back. At this pace, I might as well walk a marathon. Ugh, that’s senseless. You RUN a marathon. That's okay; I know I'm just illogical sometimes. But let's put all that aside for now. The kilometers seem long only on the days when Prachi doesn't show up. So thats technically not a problem as she shows up on most of the days. I tied my laces and got off at my stop as usual, waiting a couple of minutes for the next bus to arrive. Prachi got off her bus and began to walk. She carried her usual black chart holder in one hand and a leather bag in the other. Her loose-fitting satin shirt paired with black jeans was mostly her regular look. The glasses complemented her round face, with strands of hair...

The door lock clicked open as Ariv walked back into his silent flat. He walked in with his shoes on and dropped his bag on the floor. He immediately reached for the switchboard and turned on the lights. He stood at the same spot, looking around at his flat that had been left in a mess after he had rushed out horribly for work in the morning. “Oh man! Was I this messy?” he thought to himself as he stepped toward the couch. He untied his shoes and threw them into a corner. His mobile buzzed with continuous notifications from work. He noticed a couple of messages tagged ‘@ariv’ in the work group. It didn’t take long before his brows locked while looking at the home screen. He got up to breathe away from the mobile screen and continued with his chores. He sorted the mess in the hall, placed his clothes in the laundry, served his food hot from the casserole, and sat peacefully. “Okay! Let’s see, it’s not such a difficult task. We can complete the documentation by tomorrow evening. Well, tha...

THE OFFICE.... The Intercom landline on Noor’s table gave out two long beeps. She clipped the papers on her desk and picked up the call before it could make a third irritating beep. “ yes.” She spoke with her hands busy with the sheets and the phone sandwiched between her head and her shoulder. “ could you come in for a minute Noor?” the Auditor spoke on the other end who sat 5 chambers away. She picked up the stapled sheets and walked to the cabin titled “Mr. Ahuja” “ Noor! Please don’t mind but can you push an hour post shift to finish these too?” He spoke pointing to another bundled file on his table. “ but sir…” “ thank you Noor. Its so sweet of you.” He answered back before she could complete her version. She felt helpless as she picked up the blue file that felt heavier in her head than in her arms. She sat in her chamber looking at people leave home happily through her cabin’s glass door. All she could care at the moment was for the work to finish on time so that...
