Modern-day Princess

               She unblocks her heels tiptoeing  and  hurriedly rushes towards her regular wooden door, which helps her escape from things, things which are worse, turn up being worse, simply worse. As soon as she steps inside she locks the door and can see her entire world standing right in front of her. Her world, the floor all covered up with clothes which lied down while finding her school shirt, her wardrobe where empty hanger hung while searching her socks, her warm bed conquered by piles of books and worksheet from last night, her desk loaded with fairy tale books, on which she was working for her project with color pencils and crayons all over, her dustbin which overflowed due to last nights junk, her favorite leftover snacks and empty can of coke and her white board which reminded her of her all pending works to do. It is already past night as she came home late after her hangover in the club. Before thinking of anything she takes a snap of her masterpiece room and send to her girlfriends.

 Beep Beep.

             There goes her battery. She takes minutes to find her charger. Then, she looks herself in the mirror, how gorgeously she stands in her beautiful dress and has a confident broad smile on her tired face. The entire days hectic school hour and late night party called off for a warm shower. On shower she struggles herself to get her hair long her washed, later she struggles to put out her make-up. Without bothering to touch her stuffs she makes herself comfortable in a corner and gets back to her phone. She scrolls through her gallery and posts a photo with her homies on Instagram. She then makes herself a warm coffee with some non-fat milk creamer. While brewing on hot coffee she checks feed on pinterest. She tunes into dubstep or skrillex and starts with her home assignments of last weekend’s school task.  She later gets notifications from her girls who sent snaps from the party later that evening.  It was already past midnight video chatting with her girl’s group. She puts two alarms with snooze continuously at 9 in the morning so that she won’t over sleep and get late for school.

The Badge

                   After an exhausting week at college, I was making a to-do-list for the weekend. Room cleaning always comes first in my list because I always get a reminder from Papa to get it cleaned up so I always keep Saturday morning hours as a “DO NOT DISTURB , MY ROOM IS UNDER CLEAN-UP”. After sending good morning snaps and checking news feed, I was listening to upbeat music to get positive and happy energy and got ready with the cleaning essentials.                      While keeping the books in order from my messy study table into the book rack, I got my eye on a dusty box which was lying in a corner of that rack. With curiosity, I opened the box. There were few badges which I collected since middle school; badges for being both selected and elected as the monitor of my class. I gently wiped away the dust fr...

My cousins are SUPERHERO

“Rapacha.”            She came running towards the entrance gate of the venue. It was our relatives birthday party. I took my cousin sister, Naima along with me as I was staying over her house from the past few days.            As soon as we saw each other, we made one of those excited scream, hugging each other. Before few days my cousin showed up at my college, where I introduced her with Toshila, another cousin sister. I was happy to see three of us together on the party that evening, it was indeed a hectic week with tests and exams coming near and the entire struggle at college. I must say, it was like escaping life from fear, stress, and every bad thing that was happening. I still remember searching for you at college after seeing the student’s name list. I was not sure if we were cousins but I was excited to have someone from same cultural background. And later, I came to ...
