“When you loved someone and had to let them go, there will always be that small part of yourself that whispers, “What was it that you wanted and why didn’t you fight for it?” ― Shannon L. Alder

When I was coming up with this prompt I knew deep within my heart that I will have to share my view with you all.

To tell you the truth, I find the concept of Soulmates a bit too overhyped and out of the loop in this world. At times I certainly feel that I don’t belong here. The reason is simple…

In the Morning
My world is full
of distractions
Hearing them out
Loud and clear
The voice of
Street Hawkers
Stepping to the
Stairs of my parents
To make me
A Cup of Coffee
I sit on their bed
And cherish it
Like an old friend.

In the afternoon
My world is sleepy
Lazy and full of yawns
When I just want to
Lay down and sleep
Some more but then
Sleep ditches me like
Always and I get up
To read a book on
The kindle and watch
Series/movies on my
iPad.

In the evening My world is full…

Dearest Family,

I am glad to write you again. I want to make a quick announcement here.

The first announcement is about our writing prompt.

As I explained in my previous posts, we in Dreams and Stories have started Thursday Writing Prompt and the topic of this week’s prompt is “What If You Discover Your Lover Is Not Your Soulmate? ”. Find more details about the prompt here.

Also, we would like to request you to add your full name as one of the tags in stories you publish with Dreams and Stories. The reason is we are soon restarting…

“There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile…no sound sweeter than your laughter…no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. Tell me, Lillian, dearest love…how can you have reached so far inside my heart?”
― Lisa Kleypas, It Happened One Autumn

Shout out to few stories we received last week.

I heard you last night. Okay. Let’s give this shit one more chance. You are terribly sick because you are in love with your wife’s sister. What an asshole you are but I dared not to tell you the truth to your face. I am craving for my next 500 dollars that I am going to make in one hour from you.

You could curse me later on because whatever I am going to tell you something that is not going to work for you but who the fuck cares? I am still going to tell you.

First of all…

Mumbai 2015

When I was growing up I never knew that one day I would become a solo traveler. I didn’t decide on it but I experienced it when I turned 29 in 2015.

I took my first solo trip to Mumbai City (Known as the Financial Capital of India) and that experience stayed with me.

Although I met my friends there and stayed with them I discovered the city with new…
