The Question: 'Who Are You?'

Every morning, when the glass doors of Novacorp slid open, Shriya felt a part of herself vanish. The part that hummed old Hindi songs while cooking, that smiled at street dogs, that paused to smell night jasmine on her way home—none of that fit past the biometric scanner. She was the Assistant Communications Manager here, a polished title wrapped in endless spreadsheets, muted meetings, and mechanical smiles. But what chipped her spirit most wasn't the long hours or the never-ending deadlines. It was one question. Always the same. Always from Mr. Arvind Khanna, her boss, with his grey suit, colder eyes, and a habit of asking without looking. "Who are you?" He said it without pause, as if it was part of the welcome script. Whenever she made a presentation, shared a strategy, or even offered a suggestion, he’d stop her midway— "Who are you?" Not to know her, no. But to remind her that she was no one.

ECHOES ACROSS TIME

  Aarav and Nisha arrived on Havelock Island, hoping to escape the rush of their everyday lives. The island felt untouched—quiet beaches, clear water, and a silence that seemed from another time. Their hotel was small and old, filled with antique furniture and forgotten memories. While Aarav rushed to the beach, Nisha lingered. She found a leather-bound diary hidden beneath old letters, worn with age. The diary belonged to a woman named Shivani, dated 1970. Curious, Nisha asked the hotel manager about it. He smiled gently. “It’s been here for as long as I can remember,” he said, “but no one knows how it got here.” Nisha began reading. Shivani had left everything behind—her family, her friends, even her fiancÊ—to live in solitude on the island. She didn’t explain why, only that she needed to step away from the life she knew. “I needed to get away from the noise,” Shivani wrote. “I wanted to be invisible, to live without the weight of anyone’s expectations. There is peace in being f...

Hospital-The New Home

  Hospital – The New Home It is another random Tuesday for Ishita. She is sitting beside the window and gazing outside her room. A momma bird who is feeding her child on that banyan tree. These days she feels nature more, which she didn’t even care about earlier. She had tested covid positive two weeks before. It becomes less scary though as the positive cases of covid are increasing day by day in the country. But, for Ishita when she was admitted to the hospital six days later due to her sudden health deterioration; she got a surprise at the age of 30 that she got a tumor in her brain which formed cancer. She couldn’t believe just an a4-size page from the hospital can change her life this way!  For a woman aged thirty, life is much brighter than the hospital lights. Her list of adventures, films to watch, things to do for her family, her parents all become stuck for the current time. The doctors are saying her situation is critical as her body is fighting covid and cancer. Ca...
