Invigorate thy soul

Invigorate thy soul

From one soul to another. Every person fights a battle. A battle fought for a reason you'll never know. A battle whose victor you'll never predict. But one thing I tell you: This battle is the sole reason that makes a person the way they are. You remember that happy guy you always see across the hallway? Maybe he's still fighting his war and losing. Yet the reason he's happy could be his will to be strong, the only thing that keeps him going. Or maybe he has finished his wars and came out victorious. But how ironic that you'll never know since you couldn't go up to him and ask, "How are you?" Rather than staring at him from a distance. For another instance, have a look at that other girl who goes unnoticed. You wonder why she's quiet? Because her friends are more popular than she is. Because you didn't care enough to look past her friends and ask her how her day was or even, where...

The Imperfect Mystery — Me

The Imperfect Mystery — Me

A little piece to the Imperfect Mystery of my life. He was a mystery, or maybe he just wanted to be one. In the world full of chimeric perfection, he was nowhere. He was flawed, so flawed that he’d be hanged if imperfection was a felony. Of course, he wasn’t that lucky. Growing up as a mediocre and being reminded about it every morning in the hallways of his school, he knew he didn’t belong there. Amidst the fake smiles, fake promises and real envy. All he wished for, back then, was an escape. An escape from the misery, from the embarrassment of being himself and from the very own reality he lived in. Nevertheless, there was one thing he liked about being the way he was— his subconscious. The part of his intellect that showed to him the sacred and the happy worlds of imagination. A world where he was perfect. Perfect not because he had perfectly aligned teeth and a fashionable dressing sense but because...

Illuminating darkness.

Darkness Robert's mind wandered around his deadline, even while he rested his head on the glass window. He had to complete a week's work in just one night. And the train was an hour away from home. If he had a list of things he hated, it'll only be 4 words long.  Rescheduled Deadlines. Late trains. "Dear, what's the next station?" The woman next to him gave a mild shock. It wasn't everyday that the commuters talked to each other and she didn't seem like a daily commuter, either. Robert had a look outside the glass pane and turned to her, "Wolfshire. Where do you have to get down?" "Wolfshire." She smiled sheepishly and fetched dark glasses from her purse and placed them neatly over her nose. "Guess I should get going." She stood up but the train's jerk pushed her back down. "What happened?" Her expressions confused, just like Robert's. "Think the train doesn't want you to go, just yet." He...

I'm pretty sure I'll at least get a 7.9 or 8! Now let's cut the crap and get to business. evil laugh the fresher’s party is happening and on the best day it could happen! It's happening on the New Years' Eve. Well to be honest it is the idea of the students living in hostel even during the holidays, and it's limited to hostel students. But everyone is invited. evil laugh interrupted by coughing this is so confusing when I try to explain. Now, I'm gonna tell you a secret. Today, in the office of our warden I saw the cutest girl in the whole world. If I'm right (by any miracle) then she's joining our hostel. If I see her in our hostel again I'm going to die!

A Mother’s Wisdom

A Mother’s Wisdom

An hour past midnight. The cold winter winds blew in through the open window & I tightened my grip on the blanket. My room's door was shut, the phone placed on my ear turned static. I couldn't believe the words I just listened to. "It's over. I can't be with you." The sentence screamed in my mind and I realized it isn't a dream. A sudden gasp left my mouth followed by loud sobbing. I knew everyone's asleep so I muffled my mouth in the blanket. 10 minutes. 15... 20... 30... An hour... Two? Or more? I don't remember how & when I fell asleep.  A heavenly morning. All I remember is the next day my room's door was ajar, the sunlight warming my cold face and illuminating the room with a shade of white. Everything else stood as still as it was last night, only more brighter than ever. I wondered if I were dreaming it. "Good morning, Alfred." Ah, no. Not a dream. I heived a sigh...

Complete parts: Author’s Note (Password: sister) I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX 25 October 2016 Dear Scarlett, Guess where I’m taking you to? Oh, come on! You suck at guessing. Right now we’re in a plane to Cairo, Egypt since we have a long vacation for the Diwali festival. Hoorah! That’s the good news, the better news is that mom has started running her own clinic and dad’s business is back up, too, and due to that now I’m sitting in the business class. Double-Hoorah! It is 9:06 p.m. and the flight takes roughly 6 hours but it must be 5:30 p.m. in Cairo at the moment which means that I will meet mom dad an hour or two before my birthday! The girl sitting beside me is cute, don’t you think so? I’ll talk to her soon but for that I’ll have to say "Buh Bye" to you di. Hope our journey goes great! And just in case you get bored I’ve brought The Great Gatsby along. ;) See ya soon. 14...

Spellbound

Spellbound(?) Today I saw a girl, Something about her made my heart twirl. Her pearly eyes never met mine, Yet I knew our hands would fit in just fine. Her chubby cheeks, rosy lips, dimple chin, squishy nose. Why can't I form an original prose? Her sublime beauty had surely perplexed my mind, I was lost in a trance & words are something I still can't find. © The Honest Fabler © Image source- Google Images...

The Lost Star

The Lost Star In the darkest part of the night, we met. We giggled and laughed and danced to the moon's melody under the twinkling starlight. We cherished our happy moments made at night, every morning. Then came a day when she joined those stars, making them shine brighter! But what about me? I had now lost my guiding light. ©The Honest Fabler ©Image Source- Google Images...
