A Funeral
“They cry a lot,” I muttered under my breath. It’s boring. I stood at a corner and watched the scene in front of me. Several people had gathered in the house, wearing white clothes. They were sitting around a corpse, looking sad. Several people held a sobbing woman in her early fifties. Her tears were endless, and she kept on wailing, “My daughter! My daughter!” People kept on pouring into the…

Wounds
The sun’s rays are burning on my scars. I watch the waves splash against the shore in a ferocious manner. Fresh wounds were inflicted on me last night by him. It was worse than usual, but I’m numb. The pain doesn’t bother me anymore. My gaze is elsewhere, and I smile. There’s a man ahead. I hide the knife in my pocket and stagger towards him. He’s surprised to see me. “P-Please help!” I lie.…

Our plots sound amazing in our heads, but when put in words, readers don’t find them relatable. Readers even drop books midway if the stories are disorganized. So, after hundreds of rejected manuscripts and tons of writing workshops, I came across fifteen beats which can amp up…

Mist
A cold mist creeps up in the distance Looming over the fence I watch it swirling closer and closer Mysterious and sparkling, icy and suffocating There is no sight beyond No light, no sound A thick fog surrounds me White fog is all I see My mind cannot wrap around it Where in this world do I fit? The past holds regrets The present holds mistakes The future holds all the stakes I try…

This book was so controversial that celebrities like Red Velvet’s Irene were boycotted for reading it.…

One day, the robber went to rob a bank. How hard could it be? All he had to…

Smoke. The air was fraught with hot smoke. He felt himself being pinned against the ground by his captors. He could not see them; his eyes were covered by a black cloth. But he was being held by three people. A crowd gathered around him.
‘Burn, Burn,’ they shouted. Luke struggled to free himself but it was useless. His hands were tied to his back. But he felt the air around him getting hotter. He…

Spoiler Analysis of Avengers- Infinity War
Spoiler Analysis of Avengers- Infinity War
So today, I finally managed to watch the new Avengers movie. In an era of spoilers, I somehow (barely) managed to keep myself away from spoilers. Being a hardcore fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the movies only. My heart is still DC for comics 😉 ), I was impatient to get the tickets. Unfortunately, millions of others like me were dying to get their hands on the tickets. Finally, after an…

Quote of the day “So I tried my best to stifle hope. Because hope's twin was despair, and despair was infinitely worse.
