A twisted love story

'Let me go!!!' She begged, as she saw how her luggage's were being thrown back to her room. They wouldn't let her leave so easily. They puffed up their chests, 'You were supposed to study until we get you a suitable groom, It's time, we find one'. She cried, begged, bowed her head, pleaded to let her go to her dream college. But they wouldn't budge. This is the story of Meghana, a young girl who has completed her graduation with good marks but can't pursue her dream college as her father and their brothers are reluctant to send her. They have planned her life and would work accordingly.  Meghana sat in her room in silence. She would neither eat nor sleep. She denied her mother's affection. If her father wasn't ready to let her pursue her dream, she wouldn't budge either. Days passed and it appeared, she had begun to age rapidly. The dark circles under her eyes was an indication that she hadn't had any food. Her father finally fo

Learn to be happy when alone

There are times when you want to talk to someone yet you find everyone busy. There are times you have the urge to visit that new restaurant which opened right opposite your home but you have no one to accompany you.

It's futile asking people's suggestion. They will anyway give their opinion. Reflect upon your path but never give up So what must one do when one feels let down by their own choice?  Simple, fight back but never give up.  Giving up is a sign of cowardice if anything else. You mustn't, I repeat, give up at any cost. Life may seem hard, at present but later on you'll see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Be there where you are, live in the moment. As you know, there are two sides of a coin. You may keep tossing it again and again and the struggle drives you nuts all the more but don't give up. One day, you'll toss the c
